-The Girl's Healer- Kang Taehyun FF

Chapter 24

Hwang Haru's POV:

It's now halfway way through 1st period. Kai, Bahiyyih and Beomgyu haven't showed up. I would understand Kai and Bahiyyih because when one gets sick the other stays home (and they get sick a lot) but Beomgyu? He hates skipping school and I don't remember the last time he got sick! He doesn't like traveling either because he gets homesick-

"Haru? What the answer to 12?"

...

"Haru?"

"Huh? Oh. Uh... Sorry??" I mumble feeling embarrassed. I quickly get over it realizing my reputation is horrible anyways. The teacher lets out an exasperated sigh.

"Haru, what is the answer to number 12? Wait, where is your worksheet?" She asked in annoyance. I chuckle and roll my eyes.

"Whoops, I lost it?" I laugh and the teacher gives me detention. If I could count how many times I get detention every year it would be... well over 1,000?? Yeah, somewhat.

"What are you waiting for Haru? Go to detention." She says. I collect all my stuff and exit the classroom.

Kang Taehyun's POV:

I couldn't help but notice Haru was staring off into space, which was normal for her, (not that I'm.. spying on her or anything..) but instead she was in deep thought.. actually using her brain? And that's when the teacher called on her to answer the question.

"Haru? What's the answer to 12?"

"..."

"Haru?"

"Huh? Oh. Uh... Sorry??" She mumbled, looking embarrassed. She teacher let out a upset sigh and asked,

"Haru, what is the answer to number 12? Wait, where is your worksheet?" I could tell the teacher was running out of patience with Haru.

"Whoops, I lost it?" Haru said, laughing. The teacher ended up giving her detention and she had to leave during class which is weird. Normally you go after school, but I guess the teacher gave her a long detention.

"Well, since Haru didn't say the answer, as she didn't even have the worksheet, Taehyun what is the answer to number 12?" The teacher asked me, and I was feeling.. a bit mischievous, so I said.

"I'm sorry, I don't have my worksheet either...?" I smirked after saying it and the teacher gave up.

"Detention. Now Taehyun. Don't waste my time." She mumbled and grumbled, letting out yet another sigh. I smirked and got up. I left the classroom and walked to detention knowing Haru would not like to see me.

Hwang Haru's POV:

I entered the classroom with my phone in my hands looking at my notifications. The door closed behind me with a loud slam and I go back to the back of the class to sit. I was the only one in here.. Literally. No teacher or anything. Normally students aren't in here during class time unless the teachers force them to go to detention at that exact moment.

The door scraped opened again and slammed. I quickly hid my phone thinking it was a teacher but to my surprise, it was Taehyun. The Kang Taehyun got detention? Funny. I've never seen that kid get in trouble by a teacher unless.. It was on purpose...

I rolled my eyes and he came to sit right next to me.

"Taehyun, if you think I'm gonna talk to you after what happened yesterday, you're funny." I mumbled, feeling my heart race just thinking of it. I looked at him from the corner of my eye and he wasn't really doing anything? Wait why am I looking at him? Haru, you're supposed to be angry at him. He looked down at his phone suddenly and he cleared his throat.

Just from looking at his phone, I could tell he was nervous. I gulped and waited for what he had to say.

"Uhm, Haru. Hyunjin wanted to meet you at the convenience store around the corner from your house.. Just wanted to tell you." He said, still looking down at his phone. It was like he refused to look up at me. I just nodded and looked around trying not to suffocate in this awkward and quiet atmosphere. I took my phone out again and texted Hyunjin.

MY FERRET

HARU

Hey, you said you wanted me to meet you at the convenience store after school right? What time?

MY FERRET

Ohh yeah around 6:00 PM? Sound good?

HARU

Yeah sure.

I got off my texts with Hyunjin and sat in shame. The atmosphere was that same as it was 10 minutes ago and it make me feel miserable. I just wished what happened yesterday never happened.

"Taehyun."

He looked up from his phone at me and I could've swore I saw his eyes light up. But the thing is, I have no idea what to say. I just said his name and now I'm in an awkward situation. Every second felt like 10 as I was confused on what to say. I quickly came up with something to save myself from embarrassment.

"Why are you here? You never get detention. I don't think I've ever seen you even get in trouble." I asked, avoiding eye contact.

"I didn't have the worksheet either.. The teacher got angry at me and sent me here." He responded. The vibe in the room was still as suffocating as ever and it made me uncomfortable. Not to mention I could see out of the corner of my eyes that Taehyun was looking at me a lot.

The desks were also pushed together so he was low-key really close to me. I tried not to pay attention and pretended I was doing something on my phone.

"Haru, talk to me. I'm bored." Taehyun said, still making eye contact with me. I did not once look at him out of embarrassment.

"Hwang Haru, look at me while I talk to you." Taehyun slightly raised his voice and grabbed my arm. I kinda.. maybe.. thought it was.. hot..? 

I reluctantly made eye contact with him but I didn't know how long I could keep looking at him. He smiled and repeated, "I'm bored, talk to me."

I couldn't continue looking at him so I looked away, covering my face. I was red like a tomato and my heart was racing.

"I... I have to.. uh use the bathroom.. I'll be right back." I mumble, getting up, racing to the door. I leave and the door slams behind me. I take a few deep breaths to calm down. I've never felt this way about anyone. If this is love.. why does it feel so different than when I was dating Wooyoung..?

I make my way to the bathroom, but a hand went over my mouth and dragged me into a dark room.
