Chapter Three

Minzy followed Chanyeol, her steps are very cautious and she is preparing herself to run once the taller does something scary.

Chanyeol stopped in front of the emergency exit, Minzy gulped.

The taller turned towards his class mate; he is trying to be calm.

"Give yourself a favor; don't tell anyone about what you saw." Chanyeol's deep voice echoed through the empty hallway. Minzy nodded and raised her right hand.

"Uhmmm... your secret is safe with me." Minzy said, her voice came out as a whisper.

"Good. And I'm keeping my eye on you." Chanyeol said before turning away from his classmate.

"And can I give some piece of advice in return?" Minzy said, she saw how Chanyeol stopped on his tracks but didn't turn back on her.

She let out a sigh. "Listen to what Ms. Park is saying. I'm sure she won't say anything that will cause harm to you."

Chanyeol smirked. "And I won't let anything harm her also."

Minzy watched the tall man walked away from her.

He is not that bad after all.

Minzy feels like she really needed to do this. But the part of her mind keeps on telling her that she should not. She is now in front of Ms. Park faculty room, she thought that maybe having some chat with the petite teacher will give her some points about how to help Chanyeol. Helping Chanyeol means helping herself, she is indeed starting her mission in this school

She counted a silent 1 2 3 inside her mind before knocking on the door.

She was greeted by a sleepy looking Ms. Park; figures since it is lunch time and the professors tend to eat fast and have some good nap during break-reduce stress from the troublesome students.

"Oh, Minsu..."

"Good afternoon Ms. Park, can I have a minute...if you don't mind." Minzy was not sure what to say as of the moment, she just hoped that Ms. Park get what she is thinking.

"Sure dear, come inside." Ms. Park smiled, Minzy walked in inside the room; her eyes roam around, there is a book shelf filled with books; a coffee table that has some reader's digest on it while in the wall-hangs a portrait of Ms. Park and her family.

Eveyrthing is neat, as expected from Ms. Park.

The teacher told the student to sit on the brown couch while she is preparing iced tea. Ms Park knows why Minsu barged in her room. As a matter of fact, the petite professor is happy Minsu decided to talk to her. She has a feeling that talking with the new student will help her with her issues with Park Chanyeol.

They stared at each other for a while; none of them knows what to say. None of them knows how to start a conversation.

Gong Minzy can feel the thick awkwardness lingering in the air.

Both of them cleared their throats at the same time.

Scratched the back of their heads at the same time.

And looked at the window at the same time.

"Okay, we look silly-now I have an idea what you want to talk about..." Ms. Park is the first one who broke the silence between them.

Minzy let out a sigh.

"Chanyeol talked to me, he just said that I should keep what I heard. I just wanted to tell you that you secret is safe with me." Minzy said, she is looking everywhere but on Ms. Park.
