Hate Tutor || Hong Jisoo||

CHAPTER 7

Author's Pov:

Haeun looked at the door. "Why are you staring at the door? Whom are you waiting for?", Jiwoo asked. "Joshua", Haeun replied her gaze still fixed in the door. "Why?", Jiwoo asked again. Jiwoo has always been a curious girl, she liked to poke her nose in other's business that's why God gave her a pointy nose.

"It's nothing", Haeun said. She sighed and looked down. "Joshua is really hamdsome", Jiwoo said. Haeun again looked at the door. "He unintentionally took my favorite pen yesterday, I am waiting for him to come so that I can have it back", Haeun said ignoring her talk. Right now, she wasn't interested to listen the speech Jiwoo was about to give on Joshua.

Jiwoo laughed, "So that's the reason you waiting for him so desperately?". Haeun nodded, "What did you think?".

"I thought you are worried", Jiwoo said. "Of course I am worried", Haeun replied, "About my pen".

"Uhm, no. I thought you are worried about his health", Jiwoo said. Haeun smiled awkwardly, "About his health?", she stopped, "I am sorry but I am more worried about my pen. What if he loses it? And he is healthy, today morning he posted on his social media".

Jiwoo shook her head, "You care about your pen than someone's health?". Haeun made a guilty face, "I never said I don't care about his health. I do care about his health. But my pen is important too. I have that pen since a long time".

She again looked at the door, "I wish he comes back fine with my pen". Jiwoo shook her head, "Don't act like you can't get a new pen". Haeun looked at her, "I can but that pen holds an important place in my life. It is never about money. It was given by Soonyoung, he brought it with the cash prize he once received. When he gave it to me, he was so happy. I can never imagine to lose it".

"You can just buy a new one and show it to him. He will never know", Jiwoo said. This angered her. "Can you please leave?", Haeun straight away said, "It is my life and I know who and what are important, I don't think you need to tell me about that". 

Jiwoo looked at her, offended, "That was rude". Haeun tightly closed her eyes, "Just leave, please, leave. I want to alone for now".

"Haeun?". She slowly opened her eyes, "Joshua?". He smiled showing her the pen, "I took this with me yesterday. Sorry for that". Haeun sighed in relief, "Thank you".

They both looked into each other's eyes. 'Why does this give those kdrama vibes where both the leads fall in love?', she thought. As soon as this thought crossed her mind, she made a disgusted face, "Ew!".

She broke that eye contact. "Am I looking weird again?", he asked. Haeun shook her head, "I was getting weird thought", she whispered underneath her breath.

"Huh?", Joshua whispered. "Nothing, T-thank you for giving back this pen", Haen said looking everywhere except him. He was about to sit beside her but Haeun kept her bag, "I want to sit alone".

"It is fine if I sit here, the only place where I can sit is here", Joshua said. Haeun shook her head, "I'll kick you, if you sit here. I do what I say. There are other plenty of place to sit. You can go back and sit on your previous desk".

Joshua smirked, "Then I must really sit here". He was about to sit, but Haeun being stubborn actually kicked his leg. "Ouch", Joshua stumbled back, "Why did you kick me?", he shouted holding his leg.

"Don't shout at me, I did warn you but I think you wanted to feel my kick. So here you go", Haeun said. Joshua glared at her, "I want to kick you back".

She looked at him into eyes, "But you can't. You need to keep your gentleman image". Joshua gave a nod and rubbed his leg. Haeun sighed, "Sorry, did I kick it that hard?". Joshua shook his head, "It's fine".

Jiwoo shook her head, "What kind of behavior was that. I know you hate him but I don't think you need to hurt him like that".

"This our common behavior, Jiwoo. Sometimes we have even got  bruises because of each other. You don't need to talk like that if you don't know anything", Joshua said making Jiwoo go speechless.

"I-I was just trying to help you", Jiwoo said. "I understand but this isn't the first time we are doing this", Joshua said. Haeun gave an innocent smile to Jiwoo.

Jiwoo sighed, "Sorry for talking in middle". Joshua shook his head smiling at her but soon that smiled faded as he turned to Haeun. Both of their smiley face turned into a serious ones when they started bickering.

All the students watched them bickering. "I am not tutoring you from now", Joshua said. "Fine, I am not interested too. I was never the one who came up with this idea", Haeun said.

Joshua stood up and went back to desk he used to sit earlier on. Haeun looked over. She felt sorry for kicking him, for first time.

Soon, the classes started and they got busy. Both kept glancing at each other for every now and then.

"Haeun and Joshua, meet me in staff room after the class", Mr. Lee said. Both glanced at each other and nodded. Mr. Lee started teaching.

Once the class was over, Mr. Lee looked at them. Haeun and Joshua followed him. "What did you do again?", Joshua asked keeping an eye on Mr. Lee.

"I didn't do anything. Even if I did something he will call his Soonyoung-ah and not you", Haeun said imitating the way Mr. Lee calls Soonyoung. Mr. Lee turned behind, Haeun and Joshua smiled at him.

Both kept glaring at each other until they reached the staff room. It was empty. Mr. Lee said, "I'll come back. Don't go anywhere and don't fight". He went.

"I'll go home early today. I will go and sleep without being tensed about anything", Joshua said. Haeun glared at him, "Oh, I will too. I don't need to use my brain for someone who doesn't even care about anything".

"You-", Joshua stopped seeing Miss. Hwang along with Mr. Lee. "We are doomed, I think", Haeun whispered. Joshua nodded, "For first time something senseful thing came out your mouth. But I agree with you". 

Miss. Hwang and Mr. Lee sat in front of them. "I saw you both sitting together yesterday", Miss. Hwang said, "I am happy you both are trying to get along. We both talked about this matter and we have decided something".

Mr. Lee cleared his throat, "We want both of you to tutor each other".

"We need to do what?", Haeun shouted. "This is staff room Miss. Haeun, don't shout", Mr. Lee said. Haeun took a deep breath,"You need us to tutor eachother?". They both nodded.

Haeun shook her head, "Not to be rude, we did try tutoring each other but it was a failure".

"We don't care about that, Haeun. We just need good results. You both are one of the best students we have. You both just lack in one subject, it can affect your percentage. If you both improve your lacking subjects then you can be toppers of our school", Miss. Hawng said.

"What if we kill each other in the process?", Hauen said. All the three stared at her with wide eyes, she was serious. "What are you talking about?", Joshua whispered.

"I-I mean, like what I mean is, you know what, means like, ugh", she stopped failing to find proper words, "I am sorry. It just came out my mouth".

"We don't care about that. You both are going to tutor eachother, this will be affecting your grades", Mr. Lee said.

"How is that even related?", Haeun asked. "It is related, we can make it related, understood?", Mr. Lee said.

"Also, we will be keeping a watch on you both. So if your are thinking to avoid it better get that out of you minds. We are also informing your parents about this", Miss. Hwang said.

"You guys can leave. From today we want you both to start". Haeun and Joshua nodded going out. "Why does God hate me so much?", Haeun whined.

"I don't know about that but why do I always get involved in such matters?", Joshua asked. Haeun shrugged, "Why did you sit beside me yesterday? They thought we are getting along".

And that's how their fight started again, their voice echoing through the hall way. Some students looked at them enjoying their daily Tom and Jerry show.

Soonyoung was one among the crowd, "Not again", he whispered and went back minding his own business.
