Worth It 𖧵 [TXT Yeonjun]

Chapter 24: Volleyball

Hana's POV:
___________________________

It was now Tuesday; a week had passed since I had first met Yeonjun...

-I felt horrible for having avoided him yesterday...

I kept freaking out whenever I'd see him, but I planned on at least trying today.

Detention was cut yesterday since the janitor called in absent, I was both relieved and upset, I guess I was looking forward to it...

I laid my head down on my desk.

I was lost in thought throughout class when suddenly someone opened the classroom door.

"Can I take Eun-Hana out for a bit? I heard a familiar voice ask aloud.

I lifted my head up and met eyes with Donghyun-

take out?

I felt my face warm up slowly-

"Yeah, go ahead!" Mrs. Seon responded.

As I stood up and made my way outside with Donghyun, I could hear people whispering.

"She's probably-" I heard a girl whisper to another.

I glanced at her as I closed the door and she looked away shyly.

If you gossip at least expect to be caught.

I sighed as the door separated me from the rest of the class.

I'm not new to it- the whispers.

As soon as I picked up popularity around school, the whispers began.

And as I grew up- I also began hearing them outside of school.

Being the heiress to an airport industry gets people talking- and it's unfairly worse since I'm a girl.

I turned around and saw Soyeon next to Donghyun.

What is she doing here...?

"I have good news-" Donghyun said with a big smile.

Soyeon and I looked over at each other in confusement.

"I was able to convince the janitor to get rid of your detention" Donghyun broke the news to us.

As if on cue Soyeon leaped up and began jumping and hugging us.

I didn't know how to react-

"Come on you robot!- A month's worth of detention just ~poofed~ away, show some excitement!" Soyeon told me.

"Nah- it's fine, I just wanted to let you guys know so you don't accidentally stay after school" Donghyun told us.

I scoffed, "Thank you Donghyun" I said as I hugged Donghyun.

Donghyun was warm and almost stuffed-animal-like.

His arms slowly lifted up to hug me back.

I was afraid I had hugged him for too long.

I pulled back quickly.

Donghyun looked at me with a dumbfounded stare- "you never hugged me before-"

I turned around and began walking away, "don't get used to it."

I opened my classroom door and walked back to my desk.

I could feel everyone's eyes on me

I couldn't concentrate in class, I guess I couldn't really believe my 1 month of detention was over.
