[ CHAPTER 7: A DISTRACTION ]

[ HEEJIN'S POINT OF VIEW ]

It felt like a ton of weight has been lifted of my shoulders when Ms. Kim knocked on the door and excused me from the class. Without wasting any more minute, I grabbed my stuff and hurriedly placed them inside my backpack. From the corner of my eye, I could tell that they could only helplessly watch me pack my stuff before walking away from them.

I tried to hid the smile that was forming in my lips when I made my way to the door. I spotted my fellow students from the student council when I exited our classroom. I gently closed the door behind me before walking side to side with Soobin to Ms. Kim's office.

We all took a seat around the rectangular table on her office, not forgetting to take a sit next to my bestfriend. Ms. Kim then began discussing about the possible future activities for the students in our school. She also asked everyone for their own ideas and opinions, each and everyone of us then began suggesting various activities for our fellow students.

I wasn't able to keep track of time that an hour already passed and we still kept on discussing with focus. After a while, she asked if we could handle it on our own because apparently she needed to go somewhere to do something really important. We then re-assured her that we can handle the task that was given to us, before she politely excused herself from the meeting room.

It couldn't be helped that I began experiencing headaches as more hours passed, I leaned back on my seat while staring off into space. I took steady breaths before propping myself on the desk and clutching my head.

"Can you still keep up, Miss. President?", I heard one of them ask which made me immediately raise up my head for them to not worry about me.

I waved my hands at them, reassuring them that I'm okay, "Just a headache", I told them.

I felt Soobin place a hand on my shoulder, "Do you want to come to the clinic?", he asked. I shook my head before i looked at everyone who stared at me worriedly.

"It's okay, let's just finish this so we'll get home early", I mumbled and gestured them to continue. Everyone gave each other a look before nodding and continuing to discuss. 

I tried my best to keep up with them, trying to ignore my throbbing head which becoming worse every second pass. After what seemed like an eternity, everyone called it quits after discussing and deciding everything.

"Don't worry, I'll make the proposal for the principal", our vice president, Bomin, announced. Everyone looked them while I only widened my eyes at him, I opened my mouth to argue but he raised a hand and nodded like 'I got this'.

I raised my eyebrow before finally giving in, "Thanks Bomin", I smiled.

"Get some rest, you need it", he told me in which everyone nodded in agreement.

"Okay, does that mean we can go home now?", someone asked.

They all turned to me, as if waiting for my approval. I glanced at my wrist watch which says that it's already 4:37 in the afternoon. I raised my head and nodded at them, which made them smile widely. "I suppose?", I answered.

Everyone then began gathering their things and thanking everyone once again before making their way outside the office. I was he last ones to exit the room because I had to fix and clean up everything, as well as voluntarily turning off the lights before leaving.

I stared at my homework on my hands, biting my lower lip in concentration as I thought about what to write next for my essay. An idea suddenly popped into my head out of nowhere, so I quickly wrote it down on my notebook so I wouldn't forget it. I heard the library door open which made me look up, I watched how Renjun scanned the whole library.

Without a doubt, I raised my hand and waved it to try and get his attention, once he did noticed me he started walking towards my table with a visible smile displayed on his lips. I put my pen down as I looked up at the boy who stood in front of me, "Hey, Renjun?", I mumbled quietly.

His smile grew wider before taking a seat in front of me, he looked around the library once again before finally turning to look at me. "Didn't expect that I would see the President of the Student Council in the library at this hour", he joked without while looking down on the desk.

I chuckled quietly at the joke he made, "Well, the exams are around the corner", I muttered.

"I see, you're studying really hard aren't you?", he asked me and finally met my gaze.

I nodded and scratched the back of my head, "But I'm actually having difficulties with my essay", I replied before showing it to him. He pressed his lips into a thin line as he scanned the paper on my hands, "Do you mind if you help me?", I asked him nervously.

"I don't mind at all", he replied and I handed it to him. He brought out his books before glancing once again at my paper. "Homework?", I heard him ask.

"Yep, but I wasn't able to do it at home because I had to do other things from the student council", I tried to explain to him. He looked up at me for a brief second before focusing back his attention on my paper.

He hummed, "I understand that, besides you also have president of the council duties"

The door opened up once again which made look but shortly regretted afterwards, I looked away and hung my head low. I purposely covered my hair like a curtain on my face, I secretly took a glance from them from the corner of my eye.

"Looks good to me", I averted my gaze from them when I heard Renjun spoke. He gave me an approving smile and a thumbs up while nodding his head at my paper.

I only nodded my head at his comment when I saw someone starting at me from a far, and I don't need to turn my head to see who it was. I froze on my seat and avoided their gaze as much as possible. I couldn't even focus on whatever Renjun was suggesting for my essay because all I could think about is that certain student who just entered the library.

"So what do you think?", Renjun interrupted my thoughts. I looked up to him and saw his eyebrows furrowed together with a worried look. 

I took a quick glance at Y/N who I was still looking at me, but for the sake of myself I had to act normal in front of Renjun. I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear and propped my elbows on the table. "Sorry, what were you saying again?", I scratched the back of my neck and tried my best not to get distracted anymore by Hwang Y/N who's still gazing at me.

PLAGIARISM IS A CRIME.
