Minju's Pov
I'm in such a rush right now and trying to make up for my repeated tardiness to class that I'm almost flying.
My pesky alarm clock wasn't working, and instead of waking me up, my sister just laughed at me. that haughty woman.
I hurriedly opened the door to our classroom and was about to apologise and offer an explanation for my tardiness when...
"Ms. Kim, I'm not going to take any excuses from you; could you close that door and wait outside until I'm done?" A short and firm response from Ms. Bae greeted me.
She is one of our terror instructors, she is kind sometimes but she is really strict especially during class hours.
I just closed the door and decided to wait on the stairs next to our classroom.
I also took a handkerchief to wipe my dripping sweat, Like I ran from the ground floor to the 5th floor, peeps.
"Is your rotten watch completely broken so you're late?"
I just rolled my eyes in annoyance when I heard a woman's voice from behind me.
"Oh, there you are, I didn't notice you." I replied and didn't bother to look back at her.
From behind me, she went to and leaned on the railings just opposite the stairs and was now looking at me intently.
"Tss, how can you notice me when I'm just like an air from how you treat me." She said in annoyance and put her hands in her pockets, "And can you stop avoiding me? I won't even bother you anymore."
"..."
"Now it seems like you have no intention of talking."
"Can't you see I'm tired and need some air?" I said while pointing at my sweaty face.
"Who told you to run this far—"
"Wouldn't you run if you knew you were late?"
"No, I'm already late so why bother make myself tired?" She has a point, "And one more thing, There's an elevator."
Shit, I was so stupid, I must have been in such a hurry that I forgot there was an elevator.
"Wait, why are you here?"
"I'm a student, this is school." What a pedantic
"funny,"
"Am I joking?" I just took a deep breath to calm myself down and didn't speak again.
Never mind her there, so annoying.
"Sorry..." I looked up at her, "A-anyway, I kicked out before you even came, and the reason is that in the midst of class, I suddenly blurted someone's name out loud." she added and looked away.
"It's too early in the morning, and yet you're thinking about random things."
"...You're the only one I thought about."
I just pretended that I wasn't aware of what she had said and fought back the smile that was itching to come out.
I enquired further, gathered my belongings, and said, "What are you murmuring there?" My uniform was already damp from perspiration, so I also planned to walk to my locker to change.
I simply gave her a brief glance before getting to my feet and strolling down the stairs while stating, "There is... the wind whispering."
I sense her following me as she asks, "What? Hey! Where are you going?"
"Well, why are you keeping up with me?"
"Because you still haven't responded to my enquiry regarding where you're going."
