HE'S BACK.

When my eyes casted back outside, I saw Heejun running in our classroom. Most of my classmates had already gone out to the cafeteria for lunch but I was confused to why he was here.

You see, Heejun rarely comes at this time. He would rather be with Jihun, the library, the teacher's room, or either at patrol.

Sometimes, there would be chaos and he'll be the one to stop it --- with some help of the student councils, of course.

Raising my eyebrows at him, I stretched my arms upwards before crossing it. It can't be possible that he's running away from his admirers, right?

"무례하게 굴고 싶지 않아요. 하지만... 여긴 왜 왔어요, 부통령님? (I don't want to be rude. But...why are you here, vice president?)" I asked him as he then looked at me, fixing his glasses in the process.

His blonde hair falling a bit as he then took his time to look inside our room. I could tell that he wanted to announce something urgent but completely stopped when he saw how empty the room was.

I was the only person left in this classroom.

"그냥 내현이를 찾고 있었어. 나는 방금 몇몇 선생님들과 이야기를 나누었다. (I was just looking for Naehyun. I just had a talk with some teachers.)" Oh great, he's in trouble again. Mentally facepalming, I just sighed.

"He's at the cafeteria if you want to talk to him. Is it about suspencion due to his tardiness?" His eyes widened and shook his head though, which surprised me to say at least.

"아니, 역사 얘기야. 선생님은 그가 없는 동안 몇 가지 기사에 대해 의논해 보라고 하셨다, (No, it's about the history one. The teacher wanted him to discuss some articles while he's gone.)" he explained as I nod. It was a relief that Naehyun wasn't going to get in trouble after all.

When he was about to leave, I then took that time to ask him about Jihun. "희준선배 씨, 내현 씨와 구녀 씨가 지훈 씨를 화나게 한 게 뭔지 아세요?(Heejun sunbae, do you know what Naehyun and Gunyeo did to make Jihun mad?)"

He blinked before he then looked around. His confused expression was evident once he heard about this.

Maybe it wasn't a good time to question him? He's probably in a rush anyway.

Once I tried to avert my attention to him, I was surprised to hear him answering in a low tone. "화났어? 그 셋 사이는 아닌 것 같아. (Mad? I don't think that's the case between those three.)"

"What do you mean, vice?" There was a hint of confusion in my tone when I had asked him about it.

It was a bit suspicious and weird at the same time that he'd be the one to say that Jihun was actually okay rather than mad.

Heejun then decided to lean on the doorframe, putting his finger under his chin as if he was pondering. "봐, 지훈형은 그렇게 나쁘지 않아. 사실, 그는 그 그룹에서 가장 배려심이 많은 사람이야. (You see, Jihun hyung is not that bad. In fact, he's the most caring one in the group.)"

My eyebrows furrowed at that point and my lips had already curled into a frown. "But...he looks so cold."

"하, 나도 그렇게 생각했지만. (Ha, that's what I thought so too.)" he chuckled at what I told him. "중학교 2학년 때, 나는 그에게 약간의 문제가 생겼다. (Junior year, I got a bit of problems with him.)"
