An Art I Would Always Wonder

10

The last bell rang and finally this long day came to an end. At last I couldn't hide things from Lili and ended up saying everything to her. She felt sad and equally bad for what had happened however that was the only way I could save lili and we both had no choice.

Everyone left the class one by one, it was silent and then there was me and Kim Taehyung.

"are you not leaving?" he asked with his deep voice

" Not after what you did!" I replied with my arms crossed, wanting him to answer why he did all that

" so are you now planning to stay till I complete all the solutions?" he teased me with his one brow raised and slightly smirked

"don't misunderstand, I'm here because I confessed everything to our maths teacher and now I'm following the same thing as you" I said while facing straight at him

"class president indeed" he pouted and smiled before turning his gaze away from mine

I took a seat and began solving the questions one by one. I still had questions to ask him but I wanted to complete this before anything so keeping all my doubts aside I gave my time to the questions that was infront of me. The questions were not all hard but I was stucked on few of the last ones and the answer didn't matched each time I tried to resolve it. I took a huge sigh and completely forgot his presence before he asked;
"need some help?"

I was startled with his voice, I turned back and saw his pen down and his paper untouched

"why're you sitting still? Don't you have to complete--" I said but before I could complete my words he cut me off by saying

"I finished it!" he said which left me in shock however, I didn't show it in my face. I looked at my watch and 30 minutes had already passed. It was uneasy asking him for help but there was no option left

"uh..can you tell me how you did with the number 49?" I asked then with all the papers in his hand, he approached me and stood at my back.

As he turned his pages, his scent flowed and mixed with the air around me. It was hard to ignore as my mind catched every flavour of the fragnance that was strongly coming from him. He smelled as fresh as those of peppermint and as warm as those lavenders. His eyes scanned through the solutions of question 49 and finally he landed his eyes on mine.

"pen" he asked while forwarding his hand so I handed him the pen that I had been holding. He then smoothly turned the papers at my desk from my back and started solving it while resting his one hand on my chair. He bended his body as he processed with the solutions and I could literally see the narrow distance between our faces siding each other. It was hard to focus on what he was saying and damn, at that very moment, my total attention was not in the papers but his hands which was covered with tattoos. He had his shirt folded almost reaching his elbow and I could literally see his inked skin closer than before.

I followed my eyes through the tattoo and just then he stopped and dropped the pen

"Are you even listening?" his voice echoed and gave me chills of how deep it sounded, I slowly looked up at him leaving his tattooed hands while he stared his eyes down at mine.

I cleared my throat and looked down at the papers "yeah, continue doing..I'm getting it" I said and acted as if I was getting it

"it's finished!" he said and my mind slapped me with the second hand embarrassment

"so you weren't listening huh?" he said and pressed his both lips while crossing his arms

hell no! I was caught, What was I even thinking? This is so embarrassing !!!! My mind screamed

"um..let it be, I'll get it if I go through the steps you did" I said while reaching my hands to my hair slightly tousling it

"what was in your head all that time when I was trying to clear your doubts?" he asked and honestly I didn't knew how to reply but he kept staring at me waiting for my answers

my heart started beating loud and once again his presence gave me a pressure that was hard to hold.

"w-why're you helping me?" the words left my mouth

"because you're an idiot" he said while leaving me completely atonished with his harsh words, I continued glaring at him to which he again replied

"Earlier, I saw you giving your note to your friend and I must say it was brave of you to do that but an act of stupidity" he said and a pinch of fire started burning up within me, did he just complimented or insulted me? My mind which was blank a few seconds ago started filling up with unclear questions about him

"in that case, I guess we're both idiots! After all you did the same didn't you?" I spelled what my mind had been holding on

he gave a slight smile while staring at me, he then dragged the chair and sat beside me with his one hand on the desk lifting his rested head

"why would you do this? Don't you like teasing me and watch me suffer?" I continued speaking things that my mind had

"When did I teased you? I'm not even interested in you in the first place" he replied

what in the world does he think of himself! I didn't even ask him whether he was interested in me or not plus if he's not even a bit interested in me then why would he not act like how he talks? He says something and does completely opposite. One time he's soft and the second he opens his mouth, all those bitter words that one could barely listen comes out. I've never experienced someone talking straight to me like that and hurting my pride plus his face shows no reaction and I could barely guess what he's feeling. I pressed my lips out of frustration and I didn't wanted to be around him, not even a second.....

"i'm done! Thank you anyways for all the things that was never welcomed" I said and stood up from there rolling my papers, I grabbed my bag and left out of the room without turning back
