CHAPTER NINETEEN : 'penalty'

HEESEUNG POV :

For the last two days, Chae-Young have been.. avoiding me? She won't even look at me. I miss being around her, seeing her contagious smile. Whenever I see her I call her name but she only speeds up. I see her a lot with Taewoo now a days.. and honestly it makes me mad and jealous. Today I will find out the reason she's ignoring me.

———————————

My eyes are fixed on the door. Im supposed to be listening but it's from time, nothing special. As I see the girl of my dreams stride in, I stare at her but her eyes are glued to her feet. I see as she greets the teacher, I smile and I was about to get up when a large figure throws his arm around her shoulders.

Taewoo.

Sitting down clenching my fist, I watch as he takes her to her seat. She can walk. She doesn't need any help from him.

"Chae-Young come here please." The teacher says coldly.

I glance as Chae-Young slowly approaches the teachers desk.

"You know why you're here now tell me-"

"The laps. For my penalty I want to run the laps." Chae-Young says.

Penalty? What's my girl gotten herself into?

"Jangmi" The teacher spits.

Jangmi raises her head and walks towards Chae-Young and the teacher.

"Is laps okay with you?"

Jangmi human in a response.

Jangmi too?

———————————

CHAE-YOUNG POV :

Me and Jangmi walk to the field. We don't talk. I hate her and she hates me. What's there to talk about. Jangmi finally speaks "all because of you we have to do this stupid penalty". I roll my eyes, but I don't regret what I did. "By the look on your face I can tell you don't regret it. But I will make you".

"Over here ladies." The principal screams. We jog over and get ready to run. We both have to run in our school uniform because we didn't bring our pe kits in.

-

Whistle blows.

We both jog around making sure to keep our breathing steady.

———————————

HEESEUNG POV :

Maths is boring. I decide to look at the scenery outside. My eyes widen as I see Jangmi and Chae-Young running laps? I get up hitting the table. So that was the penalty. "I need a toilet break" I say walking out without the teacher's consent. I trudge outside and hide behind a bush trying to see where the teacher is.

———————————

CHAE-YOUNG POV :

I hear Jangmi whisper something from behind me, "I said I'd make you regret it. Teach isn't looking". I am confused from her words. I keep running when I hear a scream, I look behind and see she's fallen. This grabs the teachers attention and he come running towards us.

"She pushed me!"

My eyes widen hearing what she said. I try to resist but the teacher wasn't having it. "Go to medical Jangmi, and Chae-Young for you your laps have been doubles and you will start from the beginning".

"But-"

"No buts from lap one now!" The teacher hisses at me.

This isn't fair.

She.. she's lying.

I sigh and continue to run even if I would've finished after this lap, I carried on and didn't complain. As I'm running I see Heeseung in the corner of my eyes jogging towards me.

"Chae!"

I speed up but I'm tired and he catches up jogging next to me. "Please, tell me why you're doing this horrible penalty."

"Why do you care, you're not my boyfriend."

Heeseung grabs my wrist and Julys me to a stop. I try to release myself from his grip but instead he pulls me from a tight hug.

I won't lie... being in his warm embrace comforted me.

He stroke the back of my head. I am still panting trying to get my breath back. I hug him back.

HEESEUNG POV :

As Chae-Young hugs me back, my heart flutters, my face goes a flustered pink. I missed this. I missed hugging her cute small body. I can feel her breathing and I can see her little red cheeks. I hear the teacher running towards us shouting. Chae-Young tries to break the hug but I hold her even tighter.

"Heeseung!"

"What are you doing boy! Let her do the penalty"

I hug tug her behind me. "No. Let me finish it. I'll do three times the laps, four-"

"You will both be doing three times the laps!" The teacher scoffs.

"No sir, let me just do them please he didn't do anything." Chae-Young insists. I gently cover her mouth with my hand.

"We will both do the laps" I say smiling.

I pull Chae-Young onto my back. "You neither said how we had to run though!" I start to run and when I hear Chae-Young's laugh once again, I feel a warmness take over my heart.
