I just want to be a normal student! ⚔️

Chapter 8 - The disciplinary committee ⚔️

Lock was walking quietly while avoiding Choi Han's gaze until they reached the vending machines at the corner of the hall which was a bit far away from the cafeteria.

Choi Han put some cash into the machine and got several cola and juices before sitting on the nearby long chair and called Lock.

"Lock, come and sit for a bit."

Lock, who felt embarrassed for showing his emotions carelessly, immediately bowed his head and apologized.

"Hyung.. I'm sorry.. I know I shouldn't.. but.. hik..."

Tears fell down on where Lock stood, one by one making Choi Han bit down his lip and spoke harshly for the first time.

"I will definitely make them pay. So you don't have to take this matter into your hands, got it? Hyung will take care of everything for you, alright?" Choi Han pet his dongsaeng for a bit before taking out a handkerchief and helped the young but tall boy wiping his tears.

"Yes, hyung.."

Lock obediently nodded his head although he was still looking a bit dejected.

"Here, take this. Your favourite juice. And, let's go. Everyone's waiting." Choi Han gave the boy his favourite apple juice and started to walk back to the cafeteria.

'I will take care of it on my own.

That's why there's no need to drag Jung Soo or Cale-nim into this.

Plus..

We might be friends, but Cale-nim.. he might not say it yet but... he would soon end up with the council.

That's why there's no need to drag him into this.

It's not like we're close enough to do so anyway..'

Choi Han clenched his fist before letting it go when they were back at their table. He then put on a smile before asking Cale about his drink.

"Cale-nim, is cola okay?"

Cale, who was sitting leisurely with Raon on his lap, as he had just finished his lunch, responded.

"Sure."

It was short, but Choi Han could feel the sternness in it.

'Is he perhaps mad at me?'

That was the only thought that across Choi Han's mind.

Cale, on the other side, tried to avoid Choi Han's gaze and took the drink.

'Ha.

Does he think he's a great actor or something?'

Even though, Choi Han was walking from afar, Cale could see it. He could see a rage in the boy's eyes, as well as the fist that got clenched before letting go later on. Even how Choi Han smiled, he was still having a bit of a frown which made Cale avoiding his eye contact because it looked scary.

He then turned to see the other boy, Lock, who looked different just a moment ago, was now laughing happily while talking to the kids. He could also see a redness under Lock's eyes.

Cale was certain.

He was certain that the boy's cries definitely had something to do with Choi Han's anger.

'Is it related to the WS matter?

Or is it completely different?'

Cale was thinking about the reason behind Choi Han's rage before turning around just to get caught in Choi Han's gaze.

Choi Han was also observing Cale seriously from afar.

'Did he know?

No.
