Chapter twelve

Cho had been dodging questions from teachers and students alike, choosing to hide in a closet in Jiwoos room for the time being. She vaguely listened to the conversation Jiwoo was having with his friends. She snickered slightly at how unprofessional she was acting.

"Cho, do you want to come out of the closet?"

"No."

"O-Okay..."

"Mr. Kang is currently missing." Inhyuk said in the morning. Everyone turned to look at her.

"What? I was with Jiwoo all night." She huffed.

"Well, he's known for travelling without plans. Let's pray for his safe return." He muttered.

She had a pretty good idea what had happened. She was eighty-nine percent sure he was dead, and eleven percent sure he had actually traveled. Her reasoning? Kayden had smelt like salt when he returned to her room that night. Salt and metal.

"We need to meet with our students." She hummed, standing up with a smile. She did a little wave, not noticing everyones look of fear as she bounced out of the room. She did not skip down the hallway, she lightly bounced, because skipping was unprofessional, and she was the poster woman for professional.

"Semesters over!" She announced to the unaffiliated kids, before getting shooed to the side, near Mr. Park and Mr. Goo.

"As Miss. Seo has mentioned, the semester is over. Don't be disappointed, things will be significantly improved for the new semester. Train, enhance your powers. I will see you next semester." Mr. Jang said.

"Mr. Jang!" The kids called. Even her little Ki was speaking. "Thank you for teaching us!"

She smiled. Organizing this probably took three minutes, but she knew how special it would be in the heart of Jang.

"You'll be our teacher next semester too, right?"

"Obviously." He huffed, arms crossed. "Who else would teach you punks?"

She hummed, breaking off of the group to find Kayden. She was sure he would do a dramatic farewell in front of the principal, so she was willing to play her part. She found them in front of the school, and engaged in pleasant conversation, talking about the weather, and Jiwoos cats.

"No, I'm just saying that if you bend-"

"Mr. Kayden!" Jiwoo rushed over, smile evident on his face. "What are you doing?"

"I wanted to say goodbye." He faked sadness.

"Goodbye?" Jiwoo looked crestfallen. Nows the time where one would compare Jiwoo to a puppy, a sad puppy that just lost its favorite ball. But instead, I would like to compare Jiwoo to a cat who's just been born. Unsure, and reaching out for familiarity.

"Yes, it's time I leave. I'll come visit you soon."

"No! I want to go with you!" He cried, eyes slightly glossy. It's now that Cho has a painted neutral tone on her face, because Jiwoo does not know this is a show for the principal.

"...You can't. Keep practicing what I showed you, and I'll check on you in a bit." He jumped, soaring away into the sky like a monkey with wings. She bumped her hip to her little brothers side.

"Well, Korea just lost one great piece of ass. Cmon, kiddo. Kayden left cause he had to, not cause he wanted to." She wrapped a arm around his shoulder, squeezing it. She turned to walk him to the dorms. Once they were a good distance away, she finally spoke.

"You know he just lost to much energy, and is probably napping, right? He wouldn't leave." She said. A large, stupid smile appeared on his face.

"I was hoping."
