Chapter 18

The day grew dim as I slowly trailed into my bathroom. I was exhausted from today's hectic schedule. Exams were this week and I already felt tired from them. Earlier I had to chase a runaway wombat down the hall because it escaped the zoology  room. It wasn't that I wanted to, but because I was ordered to by the principal.

Earlier was even the first interaction I've had with the principal since the first week. Shockingly, it was also the first I've seen him since then. It was strange to see him in the same hall as me as well. I assumed that he was helping with a class.

The hardened and tiled bathroom floor was colder than the outside of the halls. I shivered as my bare feet touched it. There was a strange pain, but not a real pain, that went up my spine. It was probably the sudden cold touching my feet.

I decided to take a long bath, so I plugged the tub and let the warm water run. Grabbing the bath soap, I unscrewed the cap. Taking a breath from it, I felt at ease. The smell of cherry blossoms were my favorite. They reminded me of Sunwoo's grandmother.

As I pour just a little bit into the running water, bubbles formed from no where. It wasn't my intention for a bubble bath, but it was bound to happen. My body was cold due to the halls being the coldest in the building. Just about every room was freezing.

Slipping off my jacket, I put it onto the sink. The cold air hit me on my lower arms. I quickly patted down my sleeves. Next I put my hair into a quick bun. I didn't feel like getting it wet. All I wanted to do was relax and be warm.

I grabbed a towel from my shelf and laid it on the rack near the tub. My eyes felt sort of heavy as I reached for the top button. Taking a deep breath, I unbuttoned the first one. Just before I grabbed the second one, a familiar high-pitched noise rang through-out the bathroom and then  a splash.

Instantly I turned around. He let out a small long groan. My face felt more red than any other shade. Quickly, I turned off the water and reached out my hand to him. He didn't hesitate to grab it. I helped pull him out. Water came out with him.

"It's snowing," he said, "Let's go out and watch."

"I-I was in the middle of s-something," I stammered, "I'm already c-cold."

Beomgyu looked around before speaking, "Irrelevant."

With those words, he grabbed my jacket and reached it to me. I looked at him for a second. Beomgyu then insisted to put it on. I did as he said and buttoned the top button once more. Beomgyu grabbed my hand and then teleported with me.

We landed at the top of the hill. I instantly regretted not putting on shoes. My feet felt like they got stabbed by the freezing ground. My body was beginning to shake. Beomgyu pointed up at the white flakes falling. I felt sort of amazed.

I stared up at the sky while holding my arms close to each other. Strange how snow falling felt so cool to watch. Beomgyu looked down and then disappeared out of sight. Quickly I looked around. Where did he go?

The night was dark and all I could see were the dim lit halls from the windows. A fear came over me from being left alone outside. Should I stay here and wait if he came back or should I run down the hill again? Either way there was no guarantee to live.

After a few moments, Beomgyu appeared beside me once more. This time he had my shoes in his hands. I earnestly took them and put them on. They didn't make my feet any warmer, but they kept them from getting colder. I smiled at him with quivering lips.

"This was fun, but I'm freezing," I said, "Can you take me back?"

"So quickly?" he asked.

I sighed, "I really wanna take a bath."
