무빙 3. The Unspoken Feelings.

The classroom was filled with the boisterous laughter and teasing of students, their playful jeers directed at Ganghoon and Bong Yi. Amidst the noise, his stern gaze silenced the room. He shared a soft fleeting glance with Bong Yi before turning to address the class.

"Okay, everybody takes a seat. This year's welcome speech will be a video of the principal." Ganghoon announced, his voice echoing in the sudden silence.

However, the quiet was shattered by a scoff. Kisoo, the class's notorious troublemaker, leaned back in his chair, an electric cigarette in his hand.

The boys' eyes met. The tension in the room escalated as Ki Soo, retorted to Ganghoon "What are you looking at, shithead?" Kisoo exhaled the smoke out of his lips. "Why are you staring at me?!" He continued to smoke nonchalantly in the classroom, seemingly oblivious to the rules.

Ganghoon sighed, a mixture of frustration and resignation on his face. He said, "Sit up straight, okay?" Meanwhile, Bong Yi, her anger flaring, stood up and faced Ki Soo. "Ya, Bang Ki Soo! Mind your manners," she said, her voice sharp and cold. "Stop smoking in the classroom. It's suffocating."

Seeing the escalating tension, Ganghoon decided to step in. He moved to Bong Yi's side, placing a calming hand on her shoulder. "Bong Yi-ya, let it go," he said softly, his voice barely above a whisper. His gaze met hers, a silent plea for her to calm down.

Bong Yi looked at him, her anger slowly fading as she took in his sincere expression. The room fell silent once again, the students watching the confrontation with wide eyes.

Suddenly, the classroom door opened again, and a new girl walked in with Ilhwan ssaem. Bong Yi and Bong Seok exchanged surprised glances. Bong Yi turned her head at her brother, her eyes wide.

Bong Seok nodded, equally surprised. "Yeah, that's her. The girl from the bus."

Ganghoon, overhearing their conversation, looked at Bong Yi behind him with curiosity. "You know her?" he asked, his tone casual but his interest piqued.

She just remained silent. Bong Yi found herself increasingly distracted. She couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that settled in her when she noticed the change in Ganghoon's tone and unreadable face.

Despite having known Ganghoon since their first year, Bong Yi realized there's so much about him she still doesn't understand. His expressions, his thoughts, they're all a mystery to her. And it frustrated her, this sudden feeling of distance.

"Bong Yi-ya, you've been quiet. Is everything okay?"" he called out, his voice cutting through the noise of the classroom. Bong Yi looked up at him, her eyes meeting his. She forced a smile, trying to reassure him. "I'm fine, Ganghoon-a," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

Ganghoon looked at Bong Yi, his gaze steady. "Bong Yi," he said, his voice soft but firm. "I know you're upset. You can't hide it from me."
