Nine or None

Only Yoo And Ms. Chou.

[Josuke's POV:]

Mid way through the discussion, I noticed Jeongyeon is starting to get sleepy.

I brought out a pack of gum, "Psst. Jeongyeon." I whispered to her.

She looked at me. I gave her a piece of gum.

With a note in it.

"Here, so you won't get sleepy." It said.

She refused. Which fine by me.

After a few minutes, she tapped me shoulder.

Asking me for the gum. Which I immediately gave her.

She started to chew on it, softly.

Sometime later the professor was discussing a project, by pair. The professor is picking pairs. Guess what I'm partnered with Jeongyeon.

Jeongyeon is awkward with me, because of what happened yesterday.

"Uhm I'm sorry about yesterday." She said awkwardly.

"Pfft, forget about it and let's focus on this project." I said to her.

"Also thanks for saving Mina yesterday, we owe big time." She said.

"It's nothing." I said to her.

"Ms Yoo! In my office after this!" The professor said.

Which gave us a shock. Time pass quickly when you're enjoying talking to someone.

Jeongyeon went with the professor. It was already lunch time, it made me curious why did he called Jeongyeon when we were just talking.

As a kid who grew up without my parents, everything I learned was learned from my curiosity. That this thing made me realize that the world is a cruel place.

I found his office. Jeongyeon was kneeling in front of him, sobbing and was half naked.

From what I saw, I clenched my fist of rage, thinking why does this school have perverts inside of it.

I kicked down his door, "You fucking perverted teacher!" I said to him, Jeongyeon grabs her clothes and covered up her upper body.

The professor pulled out a cutter.

I quickly kicked it away, and punched his face.

"You fucking pervert! You ruined the image of philosophy!" I said to him.

I removed my jacket and covered it on Jeongyeon's body, I grabbed her hand and walked away. She was covering her face, some students and faculty members were looking at the room.

We walked away from the scene. We sat down in one of the benches outside.

I gave her my bottle of juice. "Here." I said to her.

She grabbed it and drank. "Tha-thank you." She said, still sobbing.

"It's nothing, you hungry?" I asked her.

She nodded. "C'mon let's get something to eat, my treat." I said to her.

She stood up and walked with me.

We passed by Mina, who was looking for Jeongyeon.

"There you are Jeongyeon." Mina said.

"Oh Hi Josuke!" Mina said, waving to me.

"Oh hi Mina, you want to eat with us?" I asked her.

"Uhm sure." She said, hesitating.

"Great, I'll treat both of you." I said to them.
