Against ALL Odds (MoonSun FF)

Chapter 23

Solar's POV

With the school festival around the corner, everyone has been busy with preparations. I hardly see Moonbyul in school and by the time we both got home, we're too tired to do anything else except for sleep. I really miss going on dates like we used to, I miss her.

"Prof. Solar?" Jung sunbaenim snapped my listless self, back to the faculty meeting as I notice other Professors are now glancing at me, shaking their heads in disappointment.

"Ah... Yes, I'm sorry Mr. Jung. I wasn't particularly paying attention." I put my head down in embarrassment.

"That's alright, we're just asking what event would we be hosting this year and the progress of the preparations, do you need any help? You seem exhausted."

"We'll be hosting a talent show this year. I know someone from the RBW Entertainment and they've agreed to hold a mini concert for Mamamoo at the end of our program." I replied confidently when I see mouths gaping in shock and whispers of 'oh my! THAT Mamamoo? I love them! I can show off to other University professors now.'

"Very well, please do let us know if there's anything we can help you with." Jung sunbaenim replied at the same time, many other professors offered their full support, "Yeah! Prof. Solar, please shout out to us we'll help you in any way we can."

The meeting ended and Jung sunbaenim joined me for lunch as we sat across each other. Eric joins us shortly after he came over to show some decorations that he had done for the school festival. I held one of the decorations in my hand, staring at it blankly slowly returning to my listless trance but was interrupted when Jung sunbaenim said, "Your girlfriend sure is popular."

I unconsciously stabbed my food looking up to his smiling face before he pointed his head towards Moonbyul who is surrounded by girls who are flirting with her. I tried to ignore the feelings, but I can't help feeling jealous.

"W-Wha? Girlfriend?" I scoffed, fail to realise I'm crushing the decorations in my hand.

"Y-Ya...!!! Hey noona... I spent all night to do that! But whatever it doesn't matter to you right? You just do whatever you want aiiish! Who needs sleep anyway?" Eric sighed, scratching his head stressfully.

"You can't be seriously thinking you've hidden your relationship well... Any idiots could tell" Jung sunbaenim said, lifting an eyebrow, "But like I said, I'd love to see this ship sailing. It's just not an easy journey, you've just barely touching the tip of an iceberg."

I sighed, but he gave me an assuring smile and pat me on my shoulder to show his support. I honestly felt like having a brother that I never had until some students had to ruin that thought by mindlessly spouting, "Oh my god, look! It's Mr. Jung and Prof. Solar, don't they look cute together?" they giggled among themselves but loud enough to reach the hamster's ears.

I was surprised at Moonbyul's reaction – She's unfazed by the comment. I feel rather disappointed and hurt. 'Does it not matter to you that I'm with someone else?' I got up from my seat telling them that I've finished my lunch and left the cafeteria.

From the corner of my eyes, I can see Moonbyul lightly brushes off the hands of other girls with a polite smile, following me but I just speed up my pace towards my office, trying to avoid her. She eventually caught up to me and held my wrist.

"Ms. Moon, please let go of my hand." She ignored my request and pulled me into my office, closing the door shut, "Ms. Moon-"

"You matter to me, my sun." she said while I froze when she hugged me, "I just didn't want to get you into any trouble because Hwasa warned us the other day on how obvious we have become with our relationship."

I felt tears trickle down my cheeks, I grabbed unto the back of her shirt tightly while burying my face on her chest, "I thought... You didn't care, I don't matter."

"Shhh..." She places both her hands on my cheek, carefully planted a kiss on my forehead, "I'm sorry. I know we haven't been going on dates lately, I miss you even though we live together. It's my fault that you feel insecure."

"But they're younger-"

"Look at me, sun." she places our forehead together, I feel my cheeks heating up, "They've got nothing on you. Besides, I'll never stop loving you it's my promise to you when we... I mean our first..." I can see her face gradually blushing as much as mine does, I shake off that feeling by hitting her shoulders.

"Ya!!! So cheesy!" I turned back but knocked on a bookshelf and closed my eyes expecting a rain of books falling down on me, but I felt nothing. I slowly peeked and the bookshelf are still in place, so I slowly turn around to see Moonbyul who caught the books from falling onto me.

"Careful, can't have the books falling on you. Although, I don't mind you falling for me." She winked.

"Moon Byul Yi... You are being very cheesy! Gosh, stop it!" I said, covering my tomato face. Moonbyul returns those books back into the shelves and cornered me, now looking at me in the eyes smiling warmly. She closes her eyes, leaning in slowly and I followed her actions.

*BAM*

"Moonbyul...? What are you- ARE YOU A LESBIAN?!" the door swings open and a voice interrupted our moments together, then I suddenly felt a sting on my face.

"Mom!!! Stop! Why did you slap her?!" Moonbyul yells at the woman, covering my face while caressing the part where I was slapped.

"Are you a teacher? IS THIS WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN TEACHING YOUR STUDENTS? HUH?!" Mrs. Moon glared at me, but I looked away in Moonbyul's embrace, "I no longer care what the police wants. YOU are coming home WITH ME, Moon. Byul. Yi!"

She pulled Moonbyul away forcefully and ending our embrace. I fell on my knees and starts to bawl as I hear her voice slowly vanishing, "No matter what happens, I'll never stop loving you. Don't ever forget that! KIM YONGSUN! I LOVE YOU!"
