7:45 am

I could feel Sunghoon staring at me as I went to grab the long bandages.

"Why'd you do that?" I asked him as I grabbed the bandages.

"Do what?" He asked back. Was this guy playing dumb or did he hit his head somewhere.

"Why'd you beat Minjae up?" I asked my rephrased question. I grabbed his hand and started dabbing the warm wet tissue to clean up the blood.

"He was being an asshole." His voice was full of annoyance. I opened the ointment and squeezed some onto my fingers.

"Watch your language." I warned him.

"As if you didn't curse at me minutes ago." He shot back. I pressed the ointment onto his busted knuckles without a warning.

"FUCK, WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?" he yelled as I kept spreading the ointment over his knuckles.

"For being such a pain in the ass," I let go of Sunghoon's hand as he inspected his hands.

"Tch, you should tell that to Minjae," he seemed pissed off as he mentioned his name.

I grabbed his hand again and started wrapping it with the bandages. Wrapping it around tightly on purpose, I stayed quiet. What the hell did Minjae do or say to piss Sunghoon off so much? Never seen this guy this pissed off at a simple name.

"I think that's a bit tight," he commented as he squirmed his hands in the bandages.

I gathered all the wrappers and threw them out into the trash. "You should be glad that I'm even helping you treat your wounds." I grabbed the leftover supplies and put them back into the cabinet I got them from. I heard him groan on the bed as he muttered something under his breath. This guy-

I turned around and saw him lying on his back. He should get up if he doesn't want to be late to class.

"Get your ass up and get to class," I paused and made eye contact with him, "and don't forget about the reflection."

"Yes ma'am," Sunghoon was now sitting on the bed looking at me exiting the clinic. What a great start to a day.

11:53 am

"Do I really have to make it 1000? Couldn't you lower it to like 750 or something?" Sunghoon had been the first person I saw as I exited my class. He'd been trying to convince me to lower the word count for his reflection.

"Tempting, but a no is a no, I'm being nice with you already. 1000 isn't a bad punishment for what you did." I told him as he was following me through the hallways.

"I'll buy you a meal or something you want, come onnnnnnn it can't be that hard lowering the reflection by a few words." He kept whining to me as I made my way to the cafeteria.

"Nope, not gonna work. Go eat your lunch will you? You already made me miss the student council meeting this morning. At least let me have my lunch time somewhat peacefully." He just stared at me as if it would change anything.

"Argh fine," finally he gave up. He walked away from me and to his usual group of friends. I walked to my group of friends and took my seat.

"Heard shit went down this morning," Mia was looking at me, waiting for me to spill the tea.

"Saw Minjae's state, it looks bad, like really bad." Jihyun added looking at me with the same look.

"Sunghoon got really pissed this time I see," Zoe commented as she munched on her sandwich. I groaned as I put my head down on the table.

"That fucking asshole ruined my morning, he didn't even tell me the proper reason to why he did that to Minjae." Jihyun laughed at my state.

"What's his punishment this time?" Mia asked with eyes full of curiosity.

"I'm making him write a 1000 word reflection on it. He's been pestering me non-stop to lower the word count." I placed my head in my hands as Jihyun laughed her ass off.

"And I thought the last punishment was bad. Running 10 laps around our school, it would probably be over 2 miles." Mia shivered at the thought of having to run 10 laps non-stop.

"Hell I wonder if he'll even write a single genuine word in his reflection- if he even writes it." Zoe finally spoke up, her face stuffed with grapes.

"If he doesn't write it, I'll make sure I-" I was caught off by a deeper male voice.

"You'll make sure what? What will you do to me?" Sunghoon took a seat next to me, a smirk plastered on his face.

"I'll make sure you'll have a good visit to hell, maybe that'll knock some senses into you," I fired back as he just chuckled in amusement. He got up from the seat he was occupying as he placed a chocolate bar in front of me.

"An apology from me for ruining your morning." He ruffled my hair and winked at me as he walked back to his group of friends. I haven't felt this flabbergasted in a while. That guy thinks he could pop out of nowhere and hand me a chocolate bar thinking it would cure everything? He's damn right. I grabbed the chocolate bar and opened it, taking a big bite.

"I'm guessing the chocolate bar actually made up for your bad morning?" Jihyun asked as she stared at me inhaling the chocolate.

"I don't know where he learned this from, but it's working. Next time I make Aera mad I'll just buy her a chocolate." Zoe added to Jihyun's remark.

I sat in silence, still chewing on the chocolate bar. 

He better write that reflection.
