Mr. Lim was talking and he made me want to zone out of the topic at hand but if my grades weren't important his knows I wouldn't even be here.
"Okay so like we talked about last week, you'd be put in pairs and you'd have to present one of Shakespeare's work. You have to talk about the work you chose. You have to talk about a part of it that you loved. You also have to present it to the class. And at the end of the semester, I want a 1500 word essay from each person in the pair dealing with the work chosen." He instructs and you can hear groans and sighs from the students around.
"I know I know. I love school too. Anyway, you can keep the pairs from the last project. But Ji-a since you are here you can be with Jungkook. You're both very bright students and I'd love to see what would come out of your pair work for the last work of the semester" Mr. Lim tells us.
I'm sorry did he just say Jungkook was a bright student? Mr. Mute looks like he got straight F's and didn't give a shit because he was rich.
But I mean I wasn't shocked either.
"So you have two weeks to prepare the project to present the class. And as for the essay, I'm granting you more time until after the coming holidays." He says.
Just then the bell rings and the students start to pack up their stuff.
"Guess we're a team." Jungkook walks up to me.
"Guess so" I shrug.
"So your house or mine tonight" he asks
"Not today. I have somewhere to be after school" I tell him. It technically wasn't a lie. The girls and I were going to visit Hwasa after school.
"Well I guess tomorrow then?" He suggests.
"I'll make sure to clear my schedule." I say nodding.

"We're here" Lisa pulls up to a cosy modern home not too big but just perfect.
"I'm not sure if Mr and Mrs. Ahn are in town but they wouldn't mind us being here." Irene assures.
We walk up to the front door and ring the bell. A man dressed in a full suit opens the door.
"Good day Misses. I take it you're here to see Ms. Hye-Jin" the man who I guess is the butler says.
"Good day to you too Mr. Ha-Joon. And yes we're here to see Hye-Jin" Lisa speaks up.
"Well come on in." He gestures to the grandiose living space where we're met with a woman in her late forties if not early fifties.
"Good day Mrs. Ahn" Lisa and Irene say one after the other.
"Hello Mrs. Ahn I'm Lee Ji-a" I introduce myself.
"Oh hi girls. My, You're even prettier than the last time I saw you" she walks up to me. She touches my shoulders looking at me from head to toe.
"Pardon?" I smile but I was as confused as fuck
"Of course you wouldn't remember. I'm very good friends with your father Jae-min. I came to visit some few years back in the US. But back then you were about 5 or 6." She smiles warmly.
"Oh my. I might not remember you but it's nice to see you again after such a long time." I say politely.
"It's a pleasure darling." She touches my cheeks. "How about you guys go up, Hye-Jin should be resting in her bedroom" she points to the stairs.
"Thank you Mrs. Ahn" I thank her before we make our way up the stairs. I let the girls direct me to Hwasa's room.
We knocked before hearing a groggy voice say 'come in'
"Hey there how are you doing?" We enter slowly into the bedroom to find out poor friend surrounded by dozens of used tissues.
The room was ventilated by the heaters and the diffusers were turned on to unblock her sinuses.
"Oh god I feel horrible." She says letting out a fit of coughs.
"I wish we came bearing gifts to make you feel better" Lisa pouts.
"Well at least you guys are here. It's enough for me" she smiles
"Awww I wish I could take the pain away" Irene says caressing her hair.
"Well you could definitely take my flu home with you if you keep touching me." Hwasa warns her.
Irene is quick to remove her hand from Hwasa once she realizes what could happen to her if she didn't.
"Anyway. Tell me all about today. I hope I didn't miss anything" Hwasa pleads
"Oh girl you missed lots. Guess who's no longer single" I interject
She squints her eyes looking between us three. She notices the blush on Irene's cheek and her eyes immediately go wide
"Hoseok finally asked you out?!" She gasped making Irene giggle.
