Replay (A SHINee's TaeMin fanfic)

Chapter 4

I ran to our classroom as fast as I could. I'm really late and I'm sure that my teacher is going to be crazy mad. I reached the door but I didn't open it. I inhaled deeply, preparing my mind for the explosive nagging that was about to happen. I didn't want to peep in the window to see the face of our teacher... I might get caught and that will boost their anger to the third power... and I, for one, do not want that this early. Key-hyung's nagging today is enough already.

I slowly opened the door, squeezing my eyes shut to protect myself from the teacher's angry welcome waiting for me. But as I opened my eyes, I was startled to see Park Hana.... I mean  Park HaNa-ssi standing in front of me with a confused but thoughtful look as she wonders why I looked so surprise.

Ever wondered if it was embarrasing?? My answer:

Yes. It absolutely was...

" Are you alright Taemin?"  She asks me.

"Uhm, yes. I'm fine." I said with a fake and awkward smile. The same smile I used when I accidentally held her hand yesterday. How could Everything I do be so awkward when she's around...

I bowed my head and apologized for being late, then I took my seat.

"So, as I was saying now that I know everyone of you..." she continues speaking but my thoughts trail off.

Man! I totally forgot about the " introduce yourself" session of her class.

I totally lost my chance again...how cool is that??

Wait a sec. When I came in, did she just------

(Flashback)

" Are you alright Taemin?"  She asks me.

(End of flashback)

SHE...KNOWS MY NAME????????

"Hahahahaha! Hahahahaha"  I  was laughing so hard that I was teary eyed. I can't believe she actually knows my name. Was she asking poeple about me, perhaps? Is she stalking me? Did she, by any chance, liked me and wanted to know my name badly that she didn't even wait for me to tell her myself??? All possible scenarios float inside my head that I can't help but chuckle like a crazy sasaeng fan who found out that  their bias is actually stalking them.

My laughter slowly disappeared as I came back to my senses when I realized that the  room  suddenly got quiet and all eyes, including Park HaNa-ssi's, were on me.

Oh Crap.

"Would you mind sharing the cause of you're sudden happiness with us, Taemin?" She asked me with a questioning look on her face.

" Don't panic...say something...Anything." I told myself as I gulped the saliva that was building up in my throat. I obviously cannot tell her what I was laughing about... that would be stupid.

"I uhmm..ahh...was just remembering something funny. Hehe..."

What the heck was that, Taemin? That was like... the lamest excuse ever... Good job. Now you could call yourself "the greatest excuse maker" in the history of "excuse making".

*************

The class ended and all I practically did the whole time was stare at her. All I knew is that our topic was about peoms and novels. She gave our project and wrote it on the board.
-Create 4 poems of your own.  The peom should have 3 or more stanzas with 4 lines each.Your poem may talk about one or more of the following:
Happiness
Family
Peace
Friendship
Pain
Love
Sacrifice

Deadline would be two days before exams. Project should be printed and neatly placed on a plastic folder.

She asks us if we had anymore questions. One student raised her hand and asked if we could combine the 4 poems in one. Park Hana answered her saying, " I guess that would be possible. As long as your poem's length is longer then others and it should talk about 4 different topics at once. Would you be abke to handle that?"  The student nodded and Park HaNa-ssi dismissed us.

When everyone started leaving, I was still glued to my seat, debating with myself.

"Should I ask her how she knew my name?" I thought to myself. 
"Nah...that'll make me sound like I'm too interested with her.She might think I'm weird. But I would never know if I never ask. I mean, I'm just being curious right?" Before I could answer myself, I was already walking towards her.
"Park HaNa-ssi?" My mouth spoke involuntarily.

"Shake your stupid nervousness off your head. You got this."

Wow. The other side of me who usually tells me how terrible I am at something, actually cheered for me this time. I'm impressed.

"Yes, Lee Taemin?" She replies as she lifts her attention away from her record book and smiles at me.

Crap. Her eyes are too much for me.

"Breathe, Taemin. Breathe. Just one question and you're good to go."

I opened my mouth but there were no words coming out.

"Yes?" She lowered her head a little bit and raised her eye brows, as if helping me to speak and ask her my question.

"Uhmm...about a while ago. I was kinda late and--"

"No. Actually, you were very late" she cuts in, emphasizing the word very in her sentence.

"Oh...yeah. Very late." I said correcting myself. 

"I was very late this morning" I repeated what I said ,emphasizing the word very this time.

"and I wasn't able to introduce myself. So, I was wondering how you knew my name. Just curious." I continued, hoping she doesn't see how nervous I am right now.

"Oh. Is that what you wanted to ask me?" She laughed a little, like she was surprised of my question. I said yes.

"How is it possible for me to not recognize you? You are Lee Taemin of SHINee. Everyone with a TV in South Korea probably know you. I'm actually very flattered to have you as my student. I'm a fan, you know." She says with a smile.

"Oh. Of course. Who wouldn't recognize me? I replied, a little disappointed of her obvious answer. I left without bowing. I'm too deep in thought to remember that. By the time I did remember she already left.
