Who You ?

Chaerin’s P.O.V

Time seemed to pass really slow these days. I wasn’t paying attention to my teacher but instead playing with my pencil and started scribbling on my paper. The image of my bed started to appear in my mind as my eyes were dazing off. The project we had last month took my sleep away and all I wish for is holiday.

After handing in the project, we got informed that a test is coming up. It was really tiring and stressful to think of it. My plan to pay back my sleep got ruined, all thanks to the heartless teacher. ‘Okay that was rude!’ I mentally slapped myself.

Then Jiyong’s face appeared in my mind and I started smiling. He was there to help me with one of my projects, I mean he was my partner. And after that, he helped me stay strong to endure the whole tiring day. He was definitely my motivation to get off the bed and head to school as he was my only friend.

I quickly brushed that thought away. He’s gone, I thought. I shouldn’t be relying on him everytime. I have to start finding myself a friend and try to fit in with the other girls. I then looked around the classroom, looking at every girls in the class. No, I can’t fit in. They dress way too revealing, way too girly. That’s just impossible.

“Chaerin!” I then heard someone called my name. I looked up and realised all eyes were on me.

“Y..y..yes,” I responded. Aisshhh what is it this time? Don’t ask me questions, I wasn’t even listening the whole time.

“Are you in class?” Mr Jongin asked. He is not as strict as the other teachers. Probably because he’s young (?) Does that even make sense? He does have good looks, which causes a lot of the female students to fall for him. It’s not even surprising to see the class full as a lot of students joined the Chemistry class because of him, not the subject.

I blinked my eyes few times, not knowing what to reply. “Pay attention, okay?” I heard him say before continuing to teach. I sighed. Good thing that I didn’t get scolded or have to stay for detention. Detention is dreadful, or that’s what I heard.

After the warning I got, I started to pay attention to the lesson. ‘Mole’. Oh man, this is my favourite subject. How can I not pay attention all along? I started paying attention and writing down notes.

I then looked at the clock. ‘4:50.’ Ten minutes left to end the class. That was when my eye started twitching. I rubbed it few times, hoping that it would help. But it didn’t work. It kept twitching. I then tried blinking, thought that it would work but it didn’t. I gave up and continued to pay attention, or at least I tried to with this eye that keeps twitching.

“Okay! That’s the end of lesson. Don’t forget, there will be test tomorrow. Mole will be tested too.” Mr Jongin finally ended the lesson after extending it for 3 minutes. I’ve started packing my things and managed to write down ‘Mole’ under the topics that will be tested tomorrow.

“Alright, class dismissed!” He stated. As usual, the girls would go to him and flirt before exiting the classroom. I mentally shook my head. Can these girls for once let him live? I continued arranging my stuffs in my bag and head to the exit when I heard Mr Jongin called me.

“Are you okay? You seemed to be away from class mentally although you are here physically,” he said. Yeahhh, he noticed it. But the way he asked, he doesnt seem mad about it. Haisss, maybe he’s not just about good looks.

I smiled. “I’m … I was ... “ I stuttered but he continued to listen.

“I’m just a bit tired, that’s all. Project was over but there is a test,” I complained.

“You’re talking about tomorrow’s test?” He chuckled.

“Sorry to cause a lot of stress.” He then gave me a small smile.

I started to feel guilty. Why did he even apologise? “No, it’s not your fault. That’s just normal for students to feel stressed up. I’m so sorry for troubling you,” I said and bowed to show respect.

He gave me a questioning look and asked why. I chuckled and I told him to forget about. I then excused myself and exited the classroom.

Outside the classroom, Youngbae was already waiting for me. I walked towards him and smiled. I didn’t suspect much as he has been doing these to accompany me when Jiyong wasn’t there.

But as I approached him, I noticed the frown on his face.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

Instead of replying, he handed me a box of chocolate that was dented all over. I managed to open it up and saw the chocolates were not in their position.

I then laughed and smirked. “What is this?” I asked.

He then handed me an envelope.

“J...J...Jiyong,” he finally replied, and he sounded like he was going to cry.

I looked up at him, confused. What’s with Jiyong? He has not been in school, or that’s what I thought since we didn’t spend much time together anymore.

I then took the envelope from him.

“He was admitted to the hospital.” I then heard Youngbae explain. I looked at him, gesturing him to continue talking.
