Chapter twenty-two: Glad Tidings
I was able to wake up early despite it being a Monday and began to head to the breakfast table after getting dressed for school. I had Greek yoghurt with fresh fruits and muesli made with toasted oats and coconut flakes.
My father was astounded, excessively amazed, to see me up before he had the chance to yell at me that we are getting late. That is literally a part of my morning routine.
He got up to shake me to wake up first but on the way to my room, he encountered my presence in the kitchen. Ah, his expressions were priceless. (I'm out here looking like a strange hooded figure circling the house at 12 am. Well, only because I can't find my charger)
"I'm gonna hop in the coffee and make some shower." He lazily said before dragging himself away and I smiled slightly at his morning silliness.
I prepared for him an avocado toast and a fresh green smoothie with a fruit-veggie combo since he likes it and I wanted to do something for him. Besides I had plenty of time till he got dressed.
After we left the house, on our way to the academy, I was sitting in the car looking outside at precisely the same course I take almost every single day. Maybe a rock or two more on the pavement actually.
Well, all this time my mind often diverted to my last visit at Sanchez. An incredible day really, but Kai was just too suspicious. Don't think I get special favours being the principal's daughter, yes students are allowed to stay back after school but under some conditions. The reason must be validly about education and related to studies provided by the institute. The student is not allowed to roam freely in the corridors and must not be seen without a teacher or instructor. I could sense he did something he shouldn't.
We both got off from the car and I headed to where my friends gather in school. Kai was not there. I took this opportunity to initiate the conversation towards him.
"Hey so, where is Kai?"
"Getting a drink." Moxy replied shortly.
"I don't think I should be saying this but last Friday I saw Kai-"
"Ohhhh yeah, he told us everything! About you and...our coach." Everyone giggled making me look at them in confusion but I blushed despite.
"I saw him after school." I continued putting pressure on my words hoping to get some attention.
"Yeah yeah, he had a thing with a professor in the other wing. He told us about YOU two."
"What did he..say?"
"No doubt ya'll look like such a couple." Sam supported Moxy in the previous argument.
"Don't be ridiculous. He's our teacher!"
"I mean...he isn't that much older than you? Could be a thing outside of school."
They should stop giving me ideas~
I thought but well it looks like I didn't though.
"So, it has been confirmed you like him..." came Kai out of nowhere with a half-empty water bottle in his hand.
"What no! Stop it, you guys!"
"Loooook there he comes!" Yuni almost shouted.
QUICK Y/N HIDE!
I panicked as if he heard the conversation and walked away from the group to my locker. I heard their faint sentences while separating from them, "I so ship them." To which I felt guilty in a way because I can obviously see myself falling. Even they know about it, that obvious? But it didn't stop me from smiling at it.
My heart flutters every time we would meet which is literally throughout almost every single day and I would especially be left wide-eyed when he would do flustering things out of the blue, like his head pats.
(Picked up writing after a week and I don't can't remember what I was writing :/)
It leaves me wondering whether I should just tell him to let us stay on the professional side; because I can't take it? I should be staying away, I know I should. I can't let myself be weak for anyone, nor can I be vulnerable no matter the time of day.
"Let me give you more tips. This will really help you."
Well, we were training and this damned man! I don't understand. It is like I suddenly can't use words anymore. The only thing that seemed to be speaking for me is the 7172726 shades of red.
"Moving and consolidating your whole body is an absolute necessity since it helps in being quick. Attempt to synchronize the developments of for instance your hips and knees." He halted and immediately illustrated.
"If someone hears you then stop and listen to see if you've been discovered. If not, continue but be wary as continued noise will become suspicious." We shared an eye-contact for a split second which was enough to ignite me from the inside.
"Don't disrupt nature. You may be the most fleet-footed human being on the planet but if someone hears say a bird get really alarmed and fly away as quick as they can, that person is going to know somethings not right."
"Last but not the least, try and avoid "inconvenient areas" such as gravel because even the fanatics face trouble trying to make no noise on that surface."
"Got it."
"Then show me."
I got in position and I felt his burning gaze on me the entire time. It was like he absorbed all my actions which later were corrected by him. I felt like I improved which is a good thing but it still was not enough, definitely.
"Y/N, get lower. I can see you." Unfortunately, even after the fourth time, I didn't hear him clear enough so he had to walk over to me, but he didn't say it again.
Instead, he firmly moved forward and held my waist with his arm and my eyes widened. His hand lightly touched my knee and applied pressure to indicating for me to bend it. My body turned to jelly, following whatever he told me to.
Our faces were close and he was looking at me. He lifted to reach my face and he used his fingertips to lightly brush away the hair that fell on my face.
"Don't be afraid to take risks but be careful. I can't see you getting hurt." He intensely stared into my eyes.
Then pulled away left me feeling as though my heart stopped.
My mind was going insane with different thoughts.
What does he mean by, he can't see me getting hurt? Is it like a teacher-student thing where he doesn't want his student getting hurt or is it something else? Damn it, Sir Jeon, you should've been clearer.
I stood there for a while not being able to function while he was, I don't know where. My stomach did tricks on its own and I bit my lip at the feeling.
I heard movement at the door frame and I thought it is Jungkook but it wasn't. At first sight, my smile dropped. It was Kai.
He was out of breath looking as if he has seen a ghost. Fresh tears held in his eyes and beads of sweat trickled down the side of his forehead making his messed up hair stick. He didn't care to even catch his breath and looked at me.
"An" he was cut off by the shortness of oxygen.
"Annie!" ... I found Kim Taehyung."
A/N:
The new film Moxie is like the homonym of Moxy and I had no idea Moxy is an actual word. I just made it up and I randomly named her that. Now I know.
