Winter Falls (MinChan)/(HyunHo)

Part - 14

(Lunch Break)

"Hey, stop!!" Chan rushed towards me and grabbed my wrist to stop me. A wave of goosebumps went through his body as he felt how cold my skin was. But he kept that aside and turned me towards him as he continued, "Why the fuck would you do that!?" He yelled, offended by what I did.

"What?" I stared calmly as I tried to take away my wrist from Chan's tight grip, knowing my skin would get bruised easily.

"Don't act dumb! Why did you complain!?" Chan growled as he was about to push me against the wall by my collar but then I showed him the ink bottle.

"If you hit me or do something, this will straight up end over your pretty face." I showed a fake sweet smile. "Leave me." I said sternly.

"Are you 2 or 4? Who the fuck complains to the teacher if someone flirts with them at the age of fucking 20!?" Chan yelled as he let go of my wrist with a jerk.

"So? You wanted me to dance and sing a song in the class just because the GREAT CB97 was flirting with me?! Listen, I'm not one of those crazy fans of yours. You can go and do whatever you want with them. Just don't mess with me. I'm not into you." I was about to leave with that but Chan pulled me backwards by my wrist and pushed me against the wall.

"I never said I was into you either. I just thought you're a pretty little cute thing. And-"

"I'm not an object to be a thing." I said, cutting off Chan.

"I don't care. You know what? If that thing 'Chan is into me' ever crosses your mind, just know, I don't believe in love or such things. Just because I was flirting with you, don't get so high about yourself." Chan rolled his eyes and was about to leave but I stopped him this time.

"Hello, Mr. Weirdo. It isn't me, it's you who's getting so high about himself. To remind you, I never even paid attention at you. And I'd never. So, don't get too high about yourself, ha?!" I was about to walk out but then I saw him smirking looking down the stairs. I furrowed my brows at that. Is he ok?

"Yeah? Well then... let's meet at the detention room."

"What? Why-" I couldn't finish as he walked past me while hitting me at the side with his shoulder. I stumbled at that and as I tried to save myself from falling, the ink bottle fell from my hand. 'Shit!' As I looked down to see where it has fell, I saw our bald headmaster's head and face covered with ink.

"Who did this!!!?" He yelled loudly and looked up to see who was there. And to my bad luck... he noticed me. "Minho! Come down, now!!" He yelled, making me flinch and yelp.

*****

As I walked inside the detention room after classes were over I saw Chan sitting at the very last bench with no care about the world. But his nonchalant vibe disappeared as soon as his eyes landed on me – who was the reason of his detention.

He smirked as he saw me. "Nice to see you as well." I knew pretty well that he was trying to annoy me. So I just avoided him and sat somewhere else, somewhere he wasn't pretty near with.

It was his fault. He knew pretty well headmaster was standing down there. Yet, he purposely bumped his shoulder on me so that the ink falls from my hand.

As I didn't respond and decided to stay away from him, he, by himself, came to me and sat next to me. I could sense it, but I decided to act clueless.

I heard him sighing. "I'm sorry." As he said that, it sounded so honest and sincere that for a brief moment I stayed still.

I furrowed my eyebrows as I finally looked at him face to face. "What are you talking about?" I asked cluelessly. "Me getting detention because of you?"

He shook his head at that. "No." He rolled his eyes. "Chan never regrets about what he does."

"Yeah? Omygod~" I mocked. "Then what's the thing Chan is being sorry for?~" I mocked again as I rolled my eyes and looked away. "Nonsense." I mumbled to myself.

"I saw you crying." As he said that, I wasn't sure anymore what to do or how to act. He saw me crying...? As I looked at him with wide shocked eyes he continued, "I realised, what I did wasn't really a great thing as solution in that moment. I should have stayed shut instead of trying to flirt. Are you okay?" He asked with concern.

"I'm totally fine." I replied coldly. "You don't have to put your nose in someone else's business. You barely even know me." I mumbled silently. 'It's really ironic how you don't know anything about me when the whole college does.' I thought to myself as I kept staring down at nothing.

Before he could say anything, the teacher entered and so he had to go back in his seat. But the look on his face told me that he wasn't really pleased by my answer. I could swear that my answer to his gentle words has hurt his pride. But I don't give a flying fuck. I said what is to be said. He's no one to invade in my privacy. It's my life. I cry, I die, I sigh or I do whatever I want, it is none of his business.

"I'll give you both two papers. Write down the reason why you both got detention and then write a sorry note saying that the same mistake will not take place again." And with that being said we were handed two blank papers.

I sighed deeply and started writing immediately. It wasn't my fault... Yet, here I was, suffering because of him. Why did he locked me up with him in this detention room if he actually saw me crying and was guilty now for flirting instead of staying shut?

I was taken out of my trance as the alarm of my smart watch suddenly started ringing. Yeah.. right... I totally forgot.

"Ma'am...?" I called out with a low voice as I stood up after I had finished writing.

"Yes, Minho?"

"I've an appointment today. Can I please call my mother?" As I told her that, I saw her eyes softening while staring at me. As if she was pitying me. And in all honesty, I hated that look. I hated being pitied.

"Sure." She sighed and started reading the reason why I was in the detention room right now from the paper piece I gave her. "It wasn't even your fault. Why didn't you just tell him that someone bumped into you?"

"I tried to. He didn't listen..." I glared at Chan with narrowed side eyes before looking at the teacher again.

She nodded understandingly and went to Chan to take his paper too. I called my mom at that time. I could hear what the teacher was saying right now to Chan. Well deserved I'd say. Hmph, no.. I don't feel bad at all for complaining. He deserves it.

"Hey, Min? Where are you? I'm outside. Hurry up, come fast."

"Mom.. I got 1 hour of detention. It was a misunderstanding." I bit down my bottom lip. Hoping she'll believe me. I know she'll. I never got detention before. I have always been a well mannered student.

"Tell me what happened. I'll go and talk to the headmaster."

I sighed and glanced at Chan once again before starting to tell her everything that happened.
