News Came Out

Jihyo and Jongin went to the school together, Jongin's reason of he is too tired to walk annoyed Jihyo. Once they stepped out Jihyo's car, they both noticed it, that both students and faculty members were staring at them.

Everybody either whispered with their best friends or pull out their phones and start texting.

Jihyo started to get nervous, while Jongin remains oblivious to the situation. He doesn't really care about everybody else, so there is a 0.1% chance he would notice what is going on.

Her nervousness disappears as she sees that her student wasn't affected at all, 'Why should I be afraid? It's not like we did anything wrong. He just rode with me to school.'

"Jongin oppa~" a familiar looking girl ran up to Jongin, making his face contort in displeasure.

Jongin might not have remember the annoying girl's name who never stopped bugging him since she started going to Seoul High, but Jihyo does remember the bratty girl's face from the other day who didn't tell her where the photography room is.

"Is it true that you're living with this old witch?!" She annoyingly asks.

"H-how did you know that?" Jihyo nervously asked, beads of sweat starting to form on her hairline.

Said person shoved her cellphone's screen infront of Jihyo's face, too close that her nose poked the screen. She backed up a bit and read what was on the screen:

'Gossip Girl
Kim Jongin Spotted Coming Out from Seoul High's New Photography Teacher's House'

And her eyes widened when the junior scrolls down, revealing a photo of her and her student coming out the gates this early morning.

She was so shocked of how fast it could have spread when the photo was taken only mere minutes ago. Jongin's hand then found its way to the junior's phone and before everyone can even say something else, he threw it hard on the ground.

The poor phone was left into pieces that can never be fixed again, ever.

"You-" he started, but the girl cut him off.

"My name is Krystal oppa!" She says, "but it's okay, I'm always going to be here to remind you."

"You," he started again, with a more firm voice, "Have no business with whom I live with."

And then Jongin grabbed Jihyo's arm, and dragged her inside the building. Hearing the persistent Krystal scream behind them, "So you are living with her!"

Once in front of Jihyo's classroom, the teacher stopped her student.

"What in the world Kai?! You just indirectly confirmed that you are staying in my place." She huffed, but she got no response from the bored Jongin. "This is a big problem, even if the set up is only temporary!"

Jongin raises one of his hands to cover his ear, "Gahd, you're so loud. What's your problem?"

"Really? What's my problem?! I'm going to lose my job after my first day because of you!" She angrily throws back and smacks him on the head.

"The fvck? You hit me with your car." Jongin states, but he suddenly regrets it when he sees Jihyo's sad face. "Don't worry about it, you won't lose it."

"Really?" Her eyes suddenly lit up, "you're going to move out of the house?"

"Hell no, I'm going to stay, but you're not going to be fired." He stated before starting to walk away coolly.

"Where are you going? We're not done talking!" Jihyo asked loudly.

"First period, ahjumma." He waves without looking back.

-

In the middle of teaching her second period class, the speakers in each room made an annoying static sound before a person talks, "Song Jihyo-yang, you are immediately needed in the principal's office.

She stops and thinks, 'What could it possibly be? I can't just leave my students.'

And as if on cue, a sub slides open the door to her class. They exchanged smiles and Jihyo excused herself.

What could it be that she was called by the principal?

What

What

What

And realization suddenly hits her, 'It's because of that photo, isn't it?'

Sweat started to form on her forehead again, her hands began to get clammy. She's not afraid, she's nervous. But her will power pushed her to open the door and step in.

It was only her and the principal, reminds her of her old high school days when she would always get in trouble. "Joh-eun achim, principal-yang."

"Does your student Kim Jongin live with you?" she immediately asks, not making small talk. She's really strict.

"N-no." She lies, she doesn't want to get fired.

"No?" She repeats.

"No." Jihyo says in a more confident tone just so she can get away with it without getting caught.

"Okay then," she says and presses a button. It was the button to speak through the speakers, "Kim Jongin-gong, please come to the principal's office."

After a couple of minutes, he stepped in. "Principal-yang?"

"Kim Jongin-sshi~" the principal suddenly said in a cutesy voice, a slight aegyo coming out which confused Jihyo.

"Principal-yaaang~" Jongin called in a cutesy voice as well, confusing Jihyo more and more.

"How are you doing? Are your teachers passing you?" The old woman asks in a motherly tone.

"Aigooo, they're all really nice." He lies, putting up an act and shyly scratching thr back of his neck.

"I see. Um, are you living with your seosaeng here?" She slowly asks, pointing towards Jihyo who was silently watching them.

"Ah, you got me." Jongin says, his cutesy face turning into a serious one. "It's just that... I don't want to go home yet."

"Ah. They're at it again?"

"Yeah." He says solemnly, looking down to his feet.

"Okay, I just wanted to confirm. Just make sure you guys don't get caught again, this is really bad for the school's reputation." Where Jongin and Jihyo nods, "But once they do, you have to go back home, deal?"

And Jongin accepts, shaking her hand.

When they were about to get out, the principal spoke in a cold and strict tone again. "And next time you lie to me Song Jihyo-yang, I'll fire you. Learn from Jongin-sshi who never lies."

Jihyo tried her best not to roll her eyes and say, "Jeoaonghabnida and Kamsahamnida principal-yang."

Jihyo shut the door behind her, seeing Jongin was waiting for her outside.

"What the hell was that about?" She suddenly asks, totally confused from what just happened.

"Well, I just saved your job. So be thankful." He simply states.

"The only time I would say thank you to you is when the world is ending." She huffed, speedwalking back to class and leaving a smirking Jongin behind.
