My Darling

Chapter 10

Wednesday. 9 Oct.

I woke up, very excited about the wedding my friends and I will be attending. I don't have anything appropriate to wear to the wedding this Saturday. But first, I have to go to school.

I had a proper breakfast today because I woke up earlier than usual.

Hyora made pancakes and I made coffee for everyone. While I was making coffee, my phone rang. It was a call from Junhoe.

'Hello?' I answered
'Hey, do you have an extra brush for art class today?'
'Actually, I have.'
'K, I'll borrow it for art class.'
'If you say please.' I teased.
'Oh my God aeri.. Every time.' He sighed.
'Do you want it or not?' I teased again.
'Why are you doing this to me every time I wanted to borrow something from you.'
'Never mind, I'm late.. Bye!' I hung up.

At school..

I sat down on my table and the class is empty. I find it very weird because usually, our class is the most noisy. I checked outside the class.. No one. not even Junhoe.

I decided to walk around the school garden and bumped into one of my classmate, jaewon.

'Hey.' I tapped his shoulder.

He jumped to his feet when he saw me.

'Oh, it's you.' He fixes his hair.
'What are you doing here all alone?' I looked at a bunch of crinkled papers.
'Nothing.' He picked up the papers as soon as he caught me looking at it.
'Writing?' I tilted my head to look at him while he was busy picking up the papers.
'Not really.' He smiled.
'The class is weirdly empty.' I looked at the class.
'That's why I came here.' He laughed awkwardly.
'With a bunch of papers?' I raised an eyebrow.
'Yeah, it's for poem.' He sighed
'ugh, I haven't done it yet.' I sighed and rubbed my face.

The bell rang and class will start soon. Students are starting to fill the classroom.

'We should get back to class.' He flashes a smile.
'Yeah.' I looked at Junhoe who was standing outside the classroom looking left and right.

In art class, the teacher told us to bring brushes to paint a landscape using acrylic paint.

I was very excited because when it comes to art class, I'm the most excited. Unlike Junhoe, he hates it. Sometimes when he's really lazy, I had to do it for him.

Today, we'll be sharing the art room with another class. We walked to the art room and take our seats next to each other at the back of the class and girls from the other class were glaring at me. They were the ones who keep telling me to stay away from Junhoe and sent me stupid letters.My Fans. Like, it's so childish

When I was about to sit down, Mina took my seat. She tried so hard to be with Junhoe.I pity her.

'Excuse me, that's my seat.' I crossed my arms and stared at her.
'I don't see your name on it.' She smiled and rolled her eyes.

This little.. I felt like strangling her to death. She's so annoying and is desperate for attention.

'Aeri.' I turned around to see Junhoe holding easels.
'Oh, thanks.' I took the easel away from him.
'Who's this?' He put the easel down and wrapped his arm around my waist.

I was so confused and shocked because of what he just did. My face turned red. I looked up to face him and he looked down to face me.

Mina just looked at us with her mouth open. She stood up and stomped back to an empty seat. As soon as she left, I pushed Junhoe to let go.

'What?' He let go and looked at me like nothing happened.
'What? What do you mean what?' I pointed at his hand.
'A thank you would be nice.' He smiled.

He laughed and pulled his hair back. What a beautiful creature. My heart went crazy.

This guy sure knows how to make me fall for him.

We started painting. I saw Junhoe biting his bottom lip while painting. He's better looking than me, it's not fair.

An hour later..

'Are you all done?' The teacher walked around, checking our work.
'Quickly! We have 5 minutes left. I see some of you have finished.' She glanced at my  work.

Junhoe stood up and leaned in closer to me. I looked at him, my brows furrowed.

He marked my nose with green paint. I smeared his cheek with pink paint and we both laughed at the back of the room.

'Mrs. Lee, the girl at the back is playing with paint.' Mina complained.
'Let them be, it's called art.' Mrs. Lee winked at me. I just giggled because mina looked super annoyed.

We went to the bathroom, followed by Mina and her friend, yura. As Junhoe entered the boys' bathroom, of course I Walked in the girls' bathroom with them.

I was washing off the paint off of my nose. When she pulled my hair.

'Don't ever come near my Junhoe ever again.' She pulled harder.
'What is your problem?!' I grabbed her hand.
'Why?! I'll tell you why!' She held my face but I managed to push her away.

Yura just looked at me all innocent like. I  rolled  my  eyes  at  her  and  ran  out  the  bathroom fast.

I can hear her calling me things As I ran out the bathroom and ran past Junhoe who just finished washing the paint off his face.

'Aeri! Where are you going?' Junhoe stood in front of the boys' bathroom.

I just ran straight to my class. I sat in the class alone.

A minute later, I heard footsteps outside the classroom. I hope it's not her. The door opened. My heart has never beat this fast before. I almost went crazy.

'Aeri?'

It's Junhoe. As soon As I saw him enter the classroom, I sighed. Relief to see him instead of that psycho

'What happened?' He sat down next to me.

I didn't answer. I just sat still and looked at him.

'I think the paint got into my nose.' I joked.
'Sorry about that.' He chuckled and pinched my nose.
