Wish Upon A Star [EXO Fan-fiction]

Chapter 5

"So I was wondering if I could start a little later than usual." I asked on the phone while Da Eun was eating her hospital food.

"Yeah. Okay. Thanks so much!" I answered with a huge smile amd hung up.

"Hey, this tastes shitty. Can't we go outside to grab something else like a hamburger?" she asked squinting as she forced another spoonful of rice in her mouth.

"Do you want porridge?" I asked worriedly.

"Let's go out. I'll buy us hamburger and some ice cream. Please?"

I hesitated. "I'd love to, but it's important for you to stick with this food for now. Get well soon so we can do that with Hyo Jung and Minji."

She groaned and continued gagging the stuff inside, "I hope I do too, before mid-terms because I need serious help on the math."

I looked up and smiled thinking about my tutoring classes, "Which section do you need help on?"

"You understand all of the sections?" she asked as her eyeballs looked like they were about to pop out of their sockets.

"Not all of them, but I do know the concepts of each one."

"What? Are you like, okay?"

"Huh?"

"What happened to the #1 Math Hater Chanmi? You used to fail every single thing related to math!"

"Hm. Things change, I guess." I shrugged.

"That's insane."

Right then my phone rang and the ID was an unknown number.

"Hello?"

"Good afternoon, is this Song Chanmi-sshi?"

"Yes...Who is speaking?"

"I am the headmaster of Chowon Elementary, and your brother Song Yoonho is in my office with two other classmates."

"What? Is he in trouble?" I asked with a panic-filled dread.

"I will explain specific details when you arrive at the school. For now, please come to pick your brother up."

"Alright..."

I stopped biting my nails when I felt a slight burn on my finger. Then I saw that it was bleeding and wrapped it with a tissue.

"Who was it?" Da Eun asked with a curious look.

"Yoonho's school... Hey, I'm really sorry, I think I need to go. I'll call Minji to come. We'll grab the hamburgers later this week. Bye." I jogged and closed the door without letting her speak.

The hospital was really close to Chowon Elementary. I crossed a few streets tapping my foot endlessly as the lights kept showing red. There was a lump inside my throat that I couldn't get rid of and my palms were wet. If Yoonho did get in trouble... If he did... Mom and dad could be really disappointed.

I knocked on the big door and proceeded inside when I heard a "Come in!"

The first thing that caught my eye was the face of a boy with both of his eyes bruised blue and purple. Then my eyes trailed to where Yoonho was sitting with an unreadable expression. He was avoiding eye contact with me.

"What happened?" I asked facing the headmaster.

"Students Song Yoonho and Ha Min Soo are suspended from school for a week from today for using physical violence against their classmates Ryu Joon Ah, Park Jung Woo, and Lim Seho," she said with a robot voice.

"What? V-violence?" I asked completely taken aback.

"I had to call you instead because I heard the conditions of your family."
