Mr. Perfect & Ms. Imperfect

Chapter 4

Aish! I can't stop thinking about Jihoon, how come I haven't seen him before? I couldn't even focus in history class, he was just so dreamy...

"Lee Miyoung!" I immediately woke up from my daydreaming.

"Yes?"

"When did the French revolution start?" The history teacher looked at me with a smirk on his face.

"Uh... well..." It's better to guess! "1698!"

"Wrong! We just went through the dates, why aren't you listening?"

As if history was that important, anyway... it's not like I'm going to work at a museum.

"Lee Miyoung, that'll be detention for 3 hours after school and you'll be going through all the dates, then you'll have a presentation about it!"

I gasped. Everyone was laughing at me now. Oh, how much I hate you, Mr. Choi! Was he insane? A presentation about the important dates in the French revolution? We had just started this topic today!

History was finally over, and we packed up our things. Finally, the last class was music, I actually enjoyed music!

"Miyoung, don't forget about detention today."

Right, I had gotten detention... Should I just try sneaking out? But Mr. Choi is a really strict teacher. Aish, let's just get it over with.

I left my books in the locker, and that's when I saw Jihoon again!

"Jihoon!" He saw me and walked towards me. It feels good to be friends with the guy of your dreams!

"Ah, hello Miyoung."

"Hey, Jihoon!"

"Yah, Miyoung... I was wondering if you wanted to walk home with me. I finish school after this lesson." Oh, no! Mr. Choi, I hate you so much!!!!

"Jihoon... I'm so sorry! I got detention! Tomorrow, maybe?"

He looked really disappointed; he looks cute even when he's sad! Look at his eyes, awhh!!

"It's okay, Miyoung. Just don't get yourself into any more trouble."

I nodded, and we parted our ways.

"Are you dating Jihoon now?" I heard someone ask. I looked to see who it was, and it was Jaehyun! Does he think I want to talk to him after what happened?

I scoffed and answered,  

"Yah! Why do you care? I told you to not control who I'm friends with. Why would it matter if we were dating? It's not like you're my boyfriend!"

After I finished the last sentence, Jaehyun just looked down and murmured,

"Yes, I'm sorry. I won't care or worry about you anymore." He walked away from me, still looking down. Had I been too harsh on him? I actually felt bad, but he's at fault too! Trying to decide who I'm friends with or who I'm not friends with.

I walked away to the music classroom, and that's when I heard a beautiful melody playing on the piano. Was it Ms. Kang who was playing the piano so beautifully? I know that she's very talented at playing the piano, and a hundred other instruments!

"Wow, Ms. Kang! You sure are good at playing-" I exclaimed as I entered the classroom, and it wasn't Ms. Kang playing the piano. It was, to my surprise, Jaehyun.

As soon as he saw me, he stopped playing the piano and went to his seat. Ouch, why did it just feel like my heart broke into a billion pieces? He had always greeted me before every lesson started, now he was just sitting there, looking out the window. To be honest, he looked kind of sorrowful.

Pull yourself together, Lee Miyoung! He won't bother you anymore about your social life! That's what you wanted, in the first place. I just sat down on my seat, waiting for the lesson to start.

After the lesson ended, I went to the history classroom and, Son Heejin was there! She greeted me with a smile.

"Great to see you here, Miyoung! At least, I won't suffer alone."

Mr. Choi stepped into the classroom, with Jaehyun! Why do I always bump into him?

"Take a seat, Kim Jaehyun will be here to help me. Make sure you study! Use this time to reflect on your actions!"

I started studying the important dates of the French revolution, so annoying! Suddenly, Heejin whispered,

"Hey, why is Jaehyun looking so depressed? He's not even talking to his girlfriend."

I just let out a small laugh, I forgot that everyone had thought me and Jaehyun were a couple! "Hey, Jaehyun! Come here! I need help with this math question!"

"Heejin! What are you doing?" Was she out of her mind? Oh, God. Mr. Choi, where are you when I need you? Tell this girl to shut up!

Jaehyun walked towards us.

"What don't you understand?" he asked Heejin.

Heejin scoffed and whispered,

"I didn't actually need help with math." Jaehyun nodded and was going to walk away, but Heejin stopped him.

"Why are you ignoring your girlfriend? I expected you to hug her or at least greet her!"

Jaehyun scoffed and said,

"She's not my girlfriend. It's not my job to care or worry about her." He walked away and sat down at the back of the classroom.

"Hold up! You're not a couple?" Heejin said.

I shook my head, and Heejin just laughed.

"He seems like a jerk. What does he mean, not his job to care or worry about you? How is a guy like that the class president?"

I gave her a small smile and started studying again. If I don't care about Jaehyun, why did his words hurt me this bad?
