IT'S OKAY

CHAPTER 10

I checked my phone, again, as I got down from my car, and the message was still unread

How could he not read his message? I asked

The message I sent him since Saturday is still unread. I placed the phone back into my bag, and headed into the school. I stopped when I heard shouting, not wanting to crash into the floor first thing Monday morning. But I guess I didn't need to, it was in front of me. I walked closer and the crowd was in front of my class, which means that the center of attraction was in my class

I guess I can't enter my class now

"I wish I was in this class" a girl among the crowd said

"I know, right? If only I had known they would start attending this normal class" another one said

I raised my eyebrow at that statement

"But, why did they decided to be in this class of all classes?"

I stopped then

My class? They are in my class? I groaned. That means that I not only have to get used to noises to hysterical girls, and boys, but that I also have to watch out more so as not to fall on the floor

I made to go to the rooftop, but turned back with the thought that Tae Woong might be there, and I wasn't in the best mood to socialize. But I didn't know where to go. I spotted a school map and walked over to it, thinking I could unsolved it, but boy, was I wrong. I stood there for what seemed like aged trying to get what it's actually used for

"What are you looking at?"

I jumped

"Can you stop scaring me?" I asked him with a glare

He shrugged

"I'm not, you're just so jumpy"

I kicked his shin, then went back to what I was doing, leaving him to rub the sore area

"Such a way to say good morning" he muttered

I smiled at his statement

"Why would I tell you good morning?"

"What are you doing here?" he asked

"I'm looking for a place to stay. I've only been to the rooftop"

"Why not just go to class?"

"It's crowded"

"Huh?"

I turned to him

"Apparently, the boys that magnetize attention are going to be in our class"

He raised his eyebrow

"Why?"

"Are you asking me? By the way, you didn't read my message"

"You sent me a message?" he asked, checking his phone

"That worked out then. I also couldn't make it" he said after reading the message

"And you didn't bother to test me? What if I was waiting for you?"

He shrugged

"You would have waited until you realize that I wasn't coming" he said with a small smile, but I wasn't stopping there

I crossed my arms

"What were you doing?"

"Just this and that" he said

I was about to push on, but he talked before me

"Come on, I'll show you were you can hang out apart from the rooftop" he said taking my hand

I retrieved my hand

"No need. It's already time for class"

It was quite harsh, but I didn't bring myself to mind. I wasn't in a peachy mood

I had to fight my way through the crowd to get to my class, only to stop few feet in front of the door

Tae Woong? What's he doing here? I asked. I put two and two together and got my four. He's part of the boys, and he's at the middle, which means, he's likely to be the number one

Daebak, I thought even though I was nothing but amazed. amazing

He returned my look with a smile of his own as he waved at me, causing head to turn to me

"Do you know him? How?" Ji Sung asked from beside me

I was about to answer, but instead I shrugged and

"Just this and that" I said and went to my seat

Class started and since the seat he was on was already taken, being a good boy, Tae Woong miraculously landed on the spare seat next to mine

"Annyeong" hi he greeted silently

I sent him a small smile

"You're starting music today" he asked although I was more like a statement

"De" yes I answered

"Are you angry at me?" he asked

I looked at him

"Why would I be angry with you? I'm not" I replied and removed my attention from him

He probably didn't know what else to say, and since I didn't want to say anything, he just focused back on what we were being taught. I wasn't really angry, but once again, this isn't a great Monday for me

^^^^^

"Are you angry with me?"

"Why is everyone asking me if I'm angry with them?" I asked back

"Did someone else ask?"

"Forget it"

Nobody said anything till we got to the cafeteria

I took few bites of my food before I couldn't take it any longer. I looked up and stared back at Tae Woong

"Mwo? Why are you staring at me?" what? I asked him

"What did I do? Actually"

"Are you asking because you don't really know? Or you just feel like asking a rhetorical question?"

"What are you saying?" he tried to brush it off with a laugh

"Then will you tell me if I ask?"

"Mwo? Mwo? What do you want to ask?" what?

I dropped my food down

"Then I'll start with this question. The weekend before we played on the street, where were you? And why couldn't I reach you" I asked, and as expected he didn't answer

We stared each other down until we were interrupted

"Can we join you?"

I looked up to see my seat partner along with two other boys at his sides

"Huh?" I asked

He repeated his question by looking at the seat beside me

I looked around the cafeteria, and noticed everyone looking towards our table, some whispering. I guess I was too into our staring contest to acknowledge what was going on around me. I looked back at Tae Woong's waiting face

"Sure, if you want to" I said, and he came to my side, the two boys sitting beside Ji Sung

"Annyeong" hi the boy directly beside Ji Sung greeted

"De. Annyeong" yes. hi I replied with a small bow

"That's Kwon Min, and this is Do In-beom. Guys, this is Choi Woo Join, but I don't know..."

"Nice to meet you. He's Ji Sung"

"He's Han Tae Woong" I told Ji Sung

They greeted each other

"How do you guys know each other? This is my first time meeting you" Kwon Min asked

"She's my rooftop buddy" Tae Woong said with his usually bright smile, and I couldn't help to display a small smile on my lips
