39 : Seeking The So-Called Drug Dealer

"... I don't get it!" I ran a hand through my hair. "You... You clearly improved! Your average is ninety!"

"I know!" Shotaro huffed. "What went wrong?"

I stared at him, eyes filled with pity. Shotaro has been trying his best since he first came here, and in a rather short period of time, his scores really improved.

So what went wrong?

He clearly met the expectations Jungwon wanted, so what exactly happened-

"Wait a minute..." I furrowed my brows before glancing at Shotaro. "You know what? I think I know what went wrong."

"What? Tell me." Shotaro immediately sat up straight, his eagerness was very obvious. I wrapped an arm around his shoulder, then pulled him closer.

"I think Jungwon doesn't want you here." I whispered. Shotaro's eyes widened and he stared at me like that for a good three seconds.

"You know what, that does kinda make sense..." He muttered.

"No I think it makes a lot of sense." I corrected him. "But I... We need proof... We need someone to tell us what's going on... Someone inside the student council..."

"Who?"

"Hmm..."

At that moment, the door swung open, and the whole class inmediately glanced at the door, thinking it was our teacher.

"The foot bone's connected to the leg bone... The leg bone's connected to the knee bone... The knee bone's connected to the thigh bone... Doin' the skeleton dance..." An sang underneath her breath as she walked into the class. She looked up, and immediately flashed a sheepish smile before dragging her feet out of the class. "I, uh... Wrong classroom... Sorry... Very sorry..."

Once she closed the door, the class stayed silent for a good three seconds before it got noisy again.

"I think we found our spy." I glanced at Shotaro, a smirk on my face.

☆•☆•☆•☆•☆•☆•☆

"Where the hell is she...?"

"We've looked everywhere." Shotaro sighed. "She didn't escape school, did she?"

"No, she wouldn't." I shook my head. "Even Jeno and Jaemin don't know where she is- Wait..."

We stopped in our tracks and stayed silent. I could hear a faint voice nearby, and the more I listened to it, it kinda sounds like An.

"I think we're close..." I mumbled before looking back to see the janitor's closet. Immediately, I pushed the door open, and my eyes widened at the sight of An, sitting in the corner of the dark and cramped room.

Her legs were bent over, exposing a bit of whatever was under her skirt, but she didn't seem to care. She was holding her phone close to her ear, and a thin white stick was hanging losely from her mouth. In her other hand was a lighter, and beside her was a small blue backpack.

"Nao, what the hell are you doing?" I raised a brow as Shotaro peeked inside. His eyes immediately widened before moving away, probably because An was exposing her underwear. "Are you smoking?!"

"Uhh, yeah?" She raised a brow before signaling me to stay silent for a moment. "Listen, Hyo, I'll have to call you later, okay? ... Okay. Bye byeee~..."

"Nao, what the hell are you thinking?! You can't smoke! Not here at least!" I walked up to her.

"Oh, it's fine!" An scoffed, placing her phone in her bag's front zipper as she straightened her legs.
