A Matter of Time - Bbangsaz

Chapter 36

Hanni's POV

It was the last class of the day, French class. I liked this class; I knew the teacher very well and I knew how to get the best grade without having to work hard.

—Okay, students, sit in pairs, you will have to do group work— she said in French.

I got up to sit with Sunoo, but he had already sat with Wonyoung.

I turned around and went back to my seat.

Why would Sunoo sit with Wonyoung and not me? I'm much better at French and I'm also her girlfriend, so I should be her first choice.

I heard my name called, I turned around and saw Yunjin walking towards me.

—Hello, do you want to be my... —she said in slightly understandable French—How do you say partner? —She switched to Korean.

I replied as stated and agreed to be her work partner.

—Well, I'll finally have an A in French— I laughed at her comment.

I know that things didn't end very well with Yunjin but I'm trying to make up for my mistakes and do what she once told me; do what I want without caring what others say, I'm working really hard to achieve that. This project might help me fix things with her, at least that's what I'll try.

We spent the rest of class planning how our project was going to be, which consisted of writing a paper on a topic and then presenting it in front of the entire class.

—What if we do it from the history of France?

— Think about the fact that you have to talk about it, you could spend 10 minutes talking in French about France.

Yunjin thought.

— I better choose an easier topic.

— It will be better— I laughed — and what if we do it about this high school? —Yunjin looked at me confused — It is easier to tell the history of this high school, who founded it, how it has evolved... All that.

— Okay, then we go to the library, I guess there will be something there to get information.

When class ended, we headed to the library, I didn't even say goodbye to Sunoo.

We grabbed a few old yearbooks and headed out.

— Mmm, shall we see each other this afternoon?

— Yes, of course, is 4 o'clock okay?

—Yes—we said goodbye.

***

4 o'clock arrived and there I was in front of Yunjin's door, waiting for someone to open the door for me.

A woman, with red hair and pale skin, opened the door to me, I assumed she was Yunjin's mother.

— Hi I am...

— Hanni, come in, Yunjin is waiting for you. Yunjin!! — She shouted.

— I'm coming!

Yunjin appeared holding a child in both hands, the little one walked clumsily and ran towards Mrs. Huh.

—Hello— she greeted me.

— Hello.

Yunjin handed the child to her mother and turned to me.

— Let's go to my room.

—If you need anything, let me know, I'll be in the living room.

— Yes, mom.
