Here I Am | Yoon Jeonghan

Chapter 5

Previously...

''Well?'' Joshua asked, waiting for me to continue.

''I'll tell you guys when we reach Busan,'' I said cheekily, causing all of them to sigh in defeat.

''Please check if the seats next to you all are occupied." Mr. Yang told us. I raised my hand to which he asked, ''Is there no one sitting next to you, Jeonghan?''

''Yes, Mr. Yang,'' I say looking at the empty seat.

If only I avoided blaming her, she'd be here...

''Okay, then you go sit next to him dear,'' Mr. Yang said to a girl, whom I couldn't be bothered to look at.

It can't be Jihye, so why bother? I mean, I can't expect her to be back after blaming her for-

''Jeonghan, can I sit next to the window?'' Jihye asked, pointing at the vacant seat, while my mouth was agape. I got up to let her sit there and sat in my place.

''Jihye...'' I started. ''Don't Jeonghan, I'm still trying to be angry at you,'' she said while taking a pill.

 A pill?

''What's that for?'' I asked her, ignoring her statement.

''Sleep. I do not like traveling, I have...'' she trailed off.

''Something you do not need to know, after all, it was mine fault that Areum sunbaenim came,'' she said coldly.

''Jihye, stop being unreasonable,'' I told her with an annoyed look on my face.

Oh, I fucked up big time.

With a dismissive scoff, she retorted, "Me? Unreasonable? Huh," and then took a sip of water to swallow the pill.

''Wake me up when we reach Busan,'' she said and closed her eyes, leaning on the window.

''Sure,'' I said quietly, while I took out my phone to listen to music.

''Jihye... Jihye wake up, we're here,'' Jeonghan woke me up while gently shaking my arm. I stretch my arms and rub my eyes. ''We're here already?'' I asked as I looked out from the window.

''Yeah, you've been knocked out for a whole 3 hours straight,'' he said getting up.

''Really? I didn't notice.'' I said coldly and got up from my seat and went out the bus, as we were the last ones in.

''Are you still mad at me?'' he asked with guilt clear in his voice.

Why are you like this?

''Oh no, I'm so happy that I would feed an orphanage with A4 steak,'' I said with sarcasm.

I can't be mad at you for long, because I-

''Now students, we'll be staying here for a week and for the first day, which is today, let's all go rest in our hotel rooms, because my back hurts like hell after sitting for 3 hours straight,'' Mr. Park interrupted my thoughts, while everyone else laughed. 

''Also, lunch will be severed in the buffet area at 1 p.m. (24 hour clock, 13:00), so make sure you all come to eat, and for tomorrow, I'll tell you all tomorrow, because I'm dying out of pain,'' Mr. Park said, again making all of us laugh.

''Mr. Park, please go rest, and all of you as well,'' Mr. Lee Soo-man said making Mr. Park leave first. ''All of your rooms were discussed earlier, but if you did forget, there's a notice on the front desk of what is your room number,'' Mr. Lee further announced. 

''Now, you all can you rest, meet up with your friends, sleep, or whatever it is that teenagers do these days, but remember to be inside the hotel premises and be there for lunch,'' He finished, making us all clap and make our way to the entrance of the hotel.

''Jihye-ni, I'm so excited to spend the rest of the trip with you and my lovely boyfriend, Oh my! It could also be a double date,'' She exclaimed near my ear.

Areum sunbaenim, I love you but your voice is just too high-pitched, and what double date?

''Oh yeah, your right, Me and you, Jihye and Jeonghan.'' Seungcheol came beside her and agreed with her.

''Excuse me?'' me and Jeonghan asked together.

''We aren't dating,'' Jeonghan said giving them an awkward smile.

That's true but... It hurts?

''Yeah, who gave you guys the idea of us dating?'' I asked looking at them while the four of us follow everyone to the front desk.

''You both are always together, so we thought...'' Areum trailed off.

''We're sorry,'' They both said at the same time.

''It's fine,'' Me and Jeonghan replied quietly.

Hello lovely people! I had the idea of making the company CEOs to be teachers, and I expect Mr. Park Jinyoung to have back pain very often... Also, I'm incredibly grateful that this book has reached 100+ reads. I didn't expect this to be read, as there are so many other wonderful books out there, so thank you all for your support. Please continue supporting, as it means the world to me. Also, chapter is dedicated to luna8xoxo . She's been working hard and feeling stressed about school, so I decided to quickly edit this chapter as a gift for her hard work. Until the next chapter, stay safe and take care.
