Help Me

Chapter 4

We got back to the room and we had 10 minutes to spare. I got my headphones out and listened to my music. Then Min Hyuk left to go see his friends and it was just me and Wonho. Wonho reached his hands out and grabbed one ear bud from my ear.

"Yah," I said looking at him.
"What it's really boring in here. I just want to listen to some music," he said still holding my ear bud firmly.
"Fine but don't judge my taste in music or anything. If you do I'm taking the ear bud back," I said. He put his hands up and nodded his head. I watched his reaction to some of the songs and he seemed to enjoy them. The bell rung and I turned off the music and put my phone back in my pocket. Try not to fall asleep Min-Seo. Bora was the first to come in and saw me and Wonho.

"Min-Seo mianhae for not eating with you at lunch," she said.
"Kwenchana."
"Are you sure," she asked.
"Yeah I'm fine," I said looking up at her. She wasn't even looking at me though. She had her eyes on Wonho the whole time. I looked at him and his eyes were closed. Bora walked back to her seat.
"Is she gone," Wonho whispered to me.
"Yeah," I whispered back. He opened his eyes and sighed in relief.
"Why did you do that," I asked him.
"She kept staring at me and it was creepy," he said.
"So you could have just told her to stop."
He grabbed my face and looked me in the eyes.
"How do you feel right now?"
"Uncomfortable," I answered.
"I prove my point," he said letting go of my face.

Mr. Song came into the room and he was our study hall teacher. I pulled my phone and headphones out after he finished talking. Before I out my ear buds in Mr. Song came up to my desk.
"Principal Jung would like to see the both you," he said to me and Wonho. I put my phone away and we went to the office.
We entered the office and Principal Jung was standing outside of his office. He motioned for us to go in his room. We sat down on the chairs and waited for him to come in. Are we in trouble. Is he going to yell at us for sleeping.

"I called you guys down to ask how you guys are liking it so far," he started off. Wonho and I nodded our heads.
"And since you guys are new students, here are some paperwork for your parents to sign. I'd like these in by the end of this week." After chatting he dismissed us and I went to my locker. I put the papers in my backpack and went back to study hall. Once study hall was over our next teacher came in.

"Annyeong class, I am Mrs. Choi and I'll be teaching you guys history." And once again she did roll call and began talking about what to look forward too. She was probably my favorite teacher that I had today. At the end of her class I went to my locker to grab my stuff. Min Hyuk came and leaned on the locker next to me.

"Hey you wanna go eat somewhere with me," he asked.
"I have detention remember," I said to him. He scratched his head and laughed a little.
"How about tomorrow," he asked.
"Maybe, depends on my schedule," I told him. He walked with me to the room I had to stay in, until Bora came towards us.
"Min Hyuk do you want to go eat lunch with me," she asked. Is she really flirting with Min Hyuk now.
"Umm I'm busy today I have to go home right now," he said walking away. Bora looked at me annoyed and stomped her feet. I walked in the class and I was the only one. Right before Mr. Soh got in Wonho ran in and took a seat in front of me.

"Well get comfy in here because this is where you'll be at for the next 2 hours." He left the room and locked the door. Wonho moved back one seat and sat next to me.
"So why were you so late," I asked him.
He grabbed his book bag and opened it up. He took out two juice boxes and two sandwiches. He handed me mine and started eating.
"Are you going to eat? If not I'll take it back for later," he said holding his hand out.
"Anio[1], I'm hungry too. I just didn't know you would get me some too," I said. He put his sandwich down and brought his face closer to mine. My heart started beating faster. I could see his beautiful eyes and Bora was right, he smelled amazing.
"Okay whatever you heard about me being a bad person it was only two times alright. I'm actually not a bad person. And it pisses me off that people think I'm a bad person." I was speechless after that. I unwrapped my sandwich and started eating.
"Mianhae," I said to him with a full mouth. He turned his head to face me and started leaning towards me. I was leaning back till I couldn't anymore. He grabbed the back of my head and wiped my mouth with a napkin. He leaned back into his chair and continued eating. My heart kept on beating faster and faster. I could feel my face getting hot. I grabbed my phone and listened to my music. He put his hands out as I was about to put my ear buds in. I handed him one bud and we continued our time in detention. Before Mr. Soh came back to let us go, we quickly cleaned up everything so he wouldn't think we did anything. As the door unlocked, Wonho went to the seat in front of me and put his head down.

"Alright you're free to go now. Next time I catch you its detention and another punishment you hear me," he said loud and clearly to us. We nodded our head and bowed to him before exiting the class room. We reached the gate and began laughing and were imitating Mr. Soh.
"Alright well I should go. Thanks for the snacks. I owe you next time," I said to him walking backwards.
"Your welcome." I turned around and headed home.
"Wait Min-Seo," Wonho called out. I turned around and saw him running to me.
"Do you want to go eat somewhere," he asked shyly.
"Umm yeah sure. Do you know a good place," I asked him. He grabbed my hand and went across the street. We walked for about 10 minutes until we arrived at this cute resturaunt.
"It's small but this is my favorite place," he said looking inside. We walked in and one of the waiter greeted us.

"Wonho your here," this guy said hugging him.
"Annyeong hyung[2],how was it today," he asked.
"We're doing good." The waiter took us to our seats and let us look through the menu for a bit.
"So how many times do you come here," I asked him.
"A lot. Usually come here 3 times a day." I looked up at him in shock.
"Really?"
"Yeah, this is really the only place I can get a nice home cooked meal," he said.
"What do you mean?"
"My parents are never home. They are always on business trips and I only see them maybe once every two months."

"My parents are never home either. They say they go out looking for jobs but they never come home until midnight or the next day. They never notice me either." We talked more after we ordered our food.
"Wow the food here is so good. You're right Wonho, the food here is really like a home cooked meal."
"I told you," he said with his mouth full of rice. Once we finished, I paid half while he paid the other half since I only had $10. We were walking out until I saw a sign on the door. I walked back into the resturaunt and went to the front counter.

"Are you guys still hiring," I asked the guy.
"Neh, are you looking for a job," he asked.
I nodded my head and he had me sit down at a table. Wonho walked backed in and stood at the door.
"I need a job," I told him. He sat at a far corner of the table and went on his phone. An old guy walked out with the waiter and walked towards me.
"Are you good with cooking," the old guy asked.
"Neh, I cooked a lot when I was younger," I replied to him. He nodded his head.
"Well you're hired then. Please come here after school tomorrow so I can show you what to do," he said. Is that really it. I got the job. I wanted to jump and scream but I kept my cool after my interview, then walked over to Wonho. He smiled at me and we left the resturaunt.
"Chukahae[3]," he said.
"Gomawo," I said smiling at him. It was still light outside so Wonho decided to show me his favorite places around Seoul.
