Hoshi saw the mosquito on your cheek while you were talking. And so, he smacked your left cheek with a wham!
"Pak!"
He checked his palm but saw nothing on it. "Argh, it got away," Hoshi murmured to himself as he diverted back to you, who currently touching your reddened cheek.
Meanwhile, every students looked towards your side: to Professor Kwon and to the dumbfounded you.
"Why...did you slap me P-Professor K-Kwon?" gritting your teeth, you asked.
It was too late for him to realize that he made a mistake. If only he has the remote control to reverse the time, Hoshi can escape this.
"Oh my gosh, professor Kwon slapped Professor (y/n)."
"Did you see that?"
"What happened?"
"Why did he slap her?"
Students blurted one by one.
The suspect began to detach his soft lips for explanation. "Ahhh s-sorry. Actually I saw a m-"
But principal Gomez came by to pull Hoshi away. "Professor Kwon, we need to talk about something really really important."
"W-Wait. I need to..."
With that, you were left alone without hearing his explanation.
The rumor started spreading within the campus. It was really fast like how a lighting slipped a tree into two.
When you got home, the first thing you did is to make scene in your neighbor's house.
"Auntie! Where is Hoshi?!" You asked to Hoshi's mom.
"He is at his room," his mom answered while cleaning dried anchovies. "He told me that if ever you came by, then I should say he isn't there."
"That freak!" You removed your shoes and dashed inside his room.
By the time you came in, you saw him sitting on his bed while drying his wet hair by a towel. "(Y/n)!" He shouted, bug eyed upon your presence.
Glaring eyes, gritted teeth and furrowed brows: Hoshi knows the danger that'll come soon. His defensive mechanism made him flee by opening the window yet you pulled him back and proved that his escape is impossible.
"Ahhh! WAIT! LET ME EXPLAIN!" He begged before he got thrown on his bed. "Ahhh!"
"HOW DARE YOU SLAPPED ME IN PUBLIC?!" you shouted then sat on his lap.
On the other side, Hoshi's mom paused for a moment after hearing your bicker. Then with a slight shaking of her head, she continued cleaning the anchovies as if everything is usual.
"THERE WAS A MOSQUITO ON YOUR CHEEK!" Hoshi explained while covering his face with his wrists.
You wrapped your hands around his neck and strangled him. "Mosquito?! You expected me to believe that?!"
Hoshi coughed exaggeratedly though death is too far. "Ugh ugh! (Y/n), let me go!"
"Do you know what kind of rumors about me are spreading right now?!" You continued and now pulling his hair.
"Ah! That hurts!" He groped your hands to pull it away but your grips are strong.
"Some says that I got slapped because I am a cursing machine!"
"But you really are! Ahh! (Y/n)! STOP THIS BEFORE I'LL-"
"WHAT? KILL ME? I'LL KILL YOU FIRST! DIE! DIE!" For once again, you choked him while shouting, "They said I got dumped by you! You sh*t!"
Hoshi realized that words aren't enough to shut you up. Your hits are getting stronger and he got agitated. Losing his mind, he cupped your cheeks and placed a peck on your lips.
"Mwah~"
Time stopped.
No.
Time didn't stop but it was the two of you instead.
He maybe succeeded on halting you. Yes he did. But after some thinking, he regretted his action.
The two of you are close friends since your families are neighbors for years. You and Hoshi are both professors in the same university and no one knows that he is acquainted with you. That's why, when students had witness the "slapping scandal" a moment ago, rumors about Professor Hoshi dumping you is getting lit.
Who's dumping who?
Surely, it made you mad enough to beat him like you did.
But for Hoshi to suddenly kiss you, it's not normal. Way far from being usual.
'What the hell?! I kissed her! I only did it because I wanted to stop her and it made me lose my mind!' Hoshi shouted inside his head.
Still sitting on his lap, you carefully traced your lips with your forefinger. Your cheeks flushed in pink as you said, "Okay, I'll believe you. Let's just say you really saw a mosquito on my cheek that's why you slapped it."
"T-That's what I have said," he stuttered.
"But how about that kiss? What was that?" You inquired.
Hoshi gulped. He wanted to say that it was only a mistake but he couldn't, not when you are still free to beat him up.
"All right, I will also accept your confession," you shyly said.
Eyes widened, Hoshi gasped, "Eh?!"
"You like me right? Well, to be honest I also feel the same. Gosh, what took you so long? How did you manage to hide this from me?" You hit his chest very flirtatious before you covered your face with your hands.
He blinks swiftly while analyzing his thoughts.
'Sh*t! (Y/n) thinks that I like her!' He said inwardly.
"Okay! This is final!" You announced then pointed him. "Starting from now on, I allow you to be my boyfriend." A sweet smile escaped from your lips.
Hoshi doesn't like you romantically. Yet, he couldn't say that his kiss is nothing but a result of his not well sorted action.
Thus, another misunderstanding aroused.
