12-redemption

"mr choi", yeonjun knocks on the door gaining the math teacher's attention.
beomgyu's stare pierced into the girl , her messy hair along with the blood-stained cheeks and wounds on her arms. "what happened?", he gave a dirty look to yeonjun, "did you hurt her?"
the boy with widened eyes shook his head frantically.

just then, ms lee walked in , informing beomgyu about yesoo's injury.
adding fuel to fire. the man nodded, "alright would you look after yesoo and yeonjun you may leave now. i need to speak to chaemin." chaemin rolled her eyes at the obvious intention of lecture. beomgyu let out a loud sigh after they left his office, "so why did you start the fight?" she furrowed her eyebrows, "what makes you think i did? oh right, what can i expect from someone like you." chaemin then crossed her arms , acting unbothered.

this made beomgyu noticed her ripped blouse, revealing her cleavage. he gulped and looked elsewhere, taking off his blazer in the process and then covering her. "i don't need it", she pushed it off to the ground. beomgyu breathed in and started calmly, "chae , why did you hit her?"chaemin was disgusted by his 'nice' acting. "it's none of your business, why do you care?", she then violently pushed him with her shoulder , walking towards the exit.

"HAN CHAEMIN!", he shouted, pinning her arms against the door. "why should i care?? you see that cut on your cheek, it HURTS me more than it does to you!", his eyes were shining with fury. he looked into her eyes and couldn't hide the tears building up. "wow nice acting there beomgyu, guess what! i don't need your pathetic pity.", chaemin felt heavy in her heart and knew if she wasn't harsh she would give in to his tears. he released his grip, wanting to speak but the words stuck in his throat were suffocating him. beomgyu looked up , tears escaping the corner of his eye, "i lied okay! i pushed you away because i was too afraid of the feelings i grew for you. after that kiss, every time i shut my eyes i would think of you! and it's so sickening that i feel that way for a girl i treated as a little sister my whole life." "it's so selfish of you to hurt me just because you were confused about your feelings!", her shoulders finally relaxed, the hatred disappeared instantly.
"i know, i'm sorry chae. i was just scared of how others would think of me or even myself! but i couldn't bear to see you cry on the rooftop that day, i can't just see the one i love get into fights. i care for you chae, so much i thought i was going insane."

beomgyu's sudden confession caused her cheeks to heat up. "so that kiss meant as much to you too?", she took a step closer.
beomgyu couldn't take his eyes off her crimson lips while he swallowed the lump in his throat. "y-yeah", he held her waist as he chest moved up then down.
leaning in, she smirked knowing she had him wrapped around her fingers.
"doesn't mean i forgive you.", she teasingly swayed her hips as she walked away.

the next day, their teacher brought a guitar to class. "i'd like to start our class more interestingly", he sat down with the instrument on his lap. "this song is dedicated to her", he steals a glance at chaemin who tried to keep the corners of her lips from lifting.

the class was mesmerised by his vocals but yeonjun worriedly stare at the back of his bestfriend, he didn't want her to be heartbroken again. after the song ended, claps echoed through the classroom.
"i wrote this for her when i was 18 , she took part in the melody i guess!", beomgyu chuckled while his eyes never left hers.

when the lesson was about to end, chaemin walked up to the teacher's table to hand in the worksheets. "you liked it?", he secretly held her hand that was rested on the table. she looks down and nodded shyly. "then shall we go home together?" he smiled with those sincerity in his large, doe eyes.
