MISTER LEE

Twenty four

I pace around Mister Lee's office as I jump off the couch. I passed the exams and I got in the Dean's list. They emailed me just now that I'm qualified to fly with them to Canada next week.

I smile and hug myself in excitement and joy. I've never been this excited to tell someone that I'm going out of the country!

I wait for Mister Lee to come in while I watch movies in his laptop. I don't even notice that I already finished one and it's already night time.

I look at my wristwatch and notice that I have been waiting for two hours already. His class ends at five pm, why isn't he here yet?

I glance on the window and saw no one. There's no one around already. It's given since it's almost eight at night. I bit my nails off as I wait for another hour.

Still, he didn't come back.

I'm starting to worry about him and where the hell he is. I walk back and forth, look at my phone then at the door, still no Mister Lee.

I try to call him but it was always decline.

Where are you?

I texted.

Please come home alone. I can't pick you up. He replies.

That's not an answer to my question.

Where are you? I reply.

Donghyuck, please not now. Don't expect me to be home. I'm shutting my phone off.

So you're not home?

No answer.

Mister Lee?

Professor Lee?

Mark?

Mark Lee?

Goddamn Mark fucking Lee answer my texts!

I try to call him but it was no use. He really did shut his phone off. I huff and finally walk away from his office. I wave at the bus and it stops right in front of me, I sat on it as my mind lingers on Mister Lee and where the hell he is right now.

Shouldn't he atleast tell me where he is to lessen my worry?

Once I've reached his condo, I open the door and saw no one. He's really not here. I sigh and decided to stay in my room until he comes back.

It's already midnight and yet, he's still not here. I wait for him in the living room, leaving the television on.

My eyes blinks as the door opens wide. I look at Mister Lee but I don't welcome him. He looks... tired. His hair is disheveled and he's not wearing his uniform anymore.

Where the hell did he come from?

I just sit on the couch and wait for him to talk to me in which he didn't. He instantly walked right into the kitchen and drank water.

I squint my eyes and still he hasn't noticed my presence. I furrow my eyebrows and clear my throat.

"Hey," As soon as he looks at me.

Hey? Hey? That's it?

"Where are you from?"

He didn't answer and it's leaving me confused and pissed.

"You won't even ask what I did today?"

He furrows his eyebrows.

"You won't even ask what happened to me today?"
