BATHROOM ; J.JK

eight.

"ms. jung can i please just work alone?!" minhee exclaimed.

"bad actions have bad consequences. i'll check later what the topic is." her teacher clicked as she went on collecting the papers.

minhee glared at jeon jeongguk before huffing and taking her seat.

once her teacher was done walking and collecting the essays, she sat back down at her seat and scanned her documents.

"hm, interesting. well mr. jeon and miss. kang you have a rather... unique topic." ms. jung said. 

minhee anticipated as she awaited what her teacher would say.

"your topic will be about how intimate relationships make someone happy."

minhee froze.

"i-intimate... intimate relationships?"

her teacher rose an eyebrow. "yes...? i assume you have been in at least one, miss. kang." 

she shook her head, blushing. 

ms. jung rolled her eyes. "might as well date mr. jeon while you're at it then!!" she exasperated as she started her lecture. 

minhee, still in shock after what happened, took her seat with a blushing face and widened eyes. 

"hm... might as well get a feel for a relationship if we're going to write this essay." she felt a voice breathe in her ear.

she jumped in surprise. low and behold, the infamous jeon jeongguk sat next to her, smirking.

"why are you here?!" she snapped quietly.

jeongguk shrugged. 

"my friends aren't here today and i'm lonely, so i thought i'd sit here and be with my new friend." he said, putting his arm around minhee.

she scoffed and brushed his arm off.

"go bother someone somewhere else. unlike you, i actually want to do well in school." 

"hey i do well!"

"sure you do."

"at least i didn't forget to do my essay."

"says you."

"shut up!" 

"mr. jeon and miss. kang! enough!" ms. jung snapped, silencing them. 

minhee glared at jeongguk, who simply gave her another smirk. she huffed and tried to pay attention to the teacher.

key word: tried.

unfortunately, jeongguk kept "accidentally" grazing his foot against hers, aggravating her. in response, minhee kicked him back, earning a whine.

"ow not there! jeez, you're tiny but you give one hell of a kick..." jeongguk groaned, clutching his leg again.

"five three and feisty." minhee snarled.

"mr. jeon and miss. kang! see me after class!!"

"next thursday?!" minhee exclaimed.

ms. jung nodded, filing her papers. 

"indeed. and i want each paragraph at least a page long."

"a page long?!" 

"i want it in twelve point font, times new roman, and single spaced."

"single spaced?!"

"miss. kang, are you robot? stop repeating what i say."

"apologizes ma'am, but this is simply too much!"

"i'll say it's too much if you're partner says it's too much."

minhee looked back at jeongguk, who was seated atop of a desk, examining his finger nails. she pleaded at him with her eyes. he raised an eyebrow.

"what? oh, it's not too bad."

"why you little--"

"it's settled then. i hope to see an amazing essay soon, you two." ms. jung said, leaving the classroom. 

minhee glared at jeongguk, who was still perched on the desk.

"how could you!?"

"how could i what?"

"agree to what she said!!"

"why? what'd she say?"

"twelve point font, times new roman, a paragraph at least a page long." she listed.

"so? that's not too bad."

"single spaced." she seethed.

and with that, jeongguk fell off the desk.
