IT'S OKAY

CHAPTER 5

ααααααααα

As I opened the door, a ball flew to my direction which I caught easily before it reached my face

Min made a sound of approval. "That was smooth" he said

I threw the ball back to him

"You're back early" In-beom said, not taking his attention off the book, he was in

"Someone else was there" I told him

He nodded

"What should we do this year? Learn separately, or together?" Min asked

I thought about it for a while. The three of us learn together apart from the rest of the other students, but I think its high time we stop that

"Together. We're all students, after all" I said

He grunted in agreement

ααααααααα

I woke up to someone tapping on my desk. I looked up to Ji Sung looking at me from his seat

"Didn't get enough sleep?" he asked

"Just wanted some shut eye before class starts" I told him

He opened his mouth but had to close them back before words came out. The bell rang, and our teacher entered

^^^^^

If not for Ji Sung, I would have been ambushed yet again by screaming girls

"When will this stop?" I asked him

"Well, it hasn't since all my years of being here" he said

"Are you serious?" I asked

He nodded. "You'll get used to it after a while" he said

"Michin geot get-da, jeongmal" This's driving me crazy, really, I complained

"I guess the basic things weren't the only things you learnt" he said

I looked up to see him wearing a smile

"That's be too boring" I told him

He chuckled this time

"Let's go" he said

He suddenly stopped in front of the cafeteria; pain etched on his face

"Are you okay?" he asked

"Yeah, why don't you go ahead?" he asked

"I forgot I had a previous engagement" he added when he saw the skeptical look on my face

I didn't want to leave, but I did nevertheless

"Okay then, see you later" I said reluctantly

He smiled then left, stylishly leaning on the wall to support himself

I watched him until he disappeared before I went inside and ate, not registering what I was eating or even the loud noise on the background

^^^^^

"We meet again" a voice said from behind

I turned around to see the handsome boy of this morning

"Hi"

He waved in response

"Do you usually stay behind after school?"

School had ended, but I stayed behind, mostly because I didn't want to meet my mom
