Chapter 6

I walked into class and it was just a typical scene - my classmates throwing crumpled papers at each other, and the class president trying her best to keep everyone to be behaving themselves.

I looked around the class and Taehyung was nowhere to be seen. I became restless as I was sitting and scribbling random stuff on a paper.

"Class, stand," the class president commanded and everyone went back to their respective seats.

"Morning everyone," Mrs Jung greeted.

Everyone mumbled back their greeting and sat.

"Take out your math homework, I'm coming around to collect," She said and everyone took it out, except me.

Last night I was too tired to complete it and besides I was thinking about what happened last night when I was walking home.

How did Taehyung find me there? Why'd he save me?

"Lee Hyejin?"

I snapped out of my thoughts. "Yes?"

"Where's your homework?" Mrs Jung asked me.

"I um...I..."
"Didn't do it?" She cut me off and stared at me. I'm so dead. Mrs Jung is not someone to mess around with.

"Why? Have you become Taehyung?" She questioned me.

Just then, the door opened and Taehyung entered the class.

"Speaking of the devil, Kim Taehyung," she said, "I suppose you too haven't done your work."

"There was?" He asked and the class softly laughed.

"What punishment do you want this time?" Mrs Jung asked us.
"I don't know, you choose," He replied.

I prayed in my little heart it's not gonna be raising my hands up while standing outside again. But instead, it was something worse.

"2 hours of detention. Report to me after school."

My jaw dropped. I hate detentions. "Mrs Jung but I can't-" I stopped talking when she turned and stared at me with horrifying eyes.

However, Taehyung on the other hand, was calm and he simply sat down without any troubles, basically because he's used to detentions.

***

"Go in. Don't even attempt to escape from this class," Mrs Jung said and slammed the door shut after me and Taehyung entered the detention class.

Seconds after she walked away from the door, I whined. "WHY DID YOU LET HER CHOOSE?!"

"Shut up its just 2 hours of doing nothing," he replied.

"Yeah, but I'm hungry and I wanna go home, ughhhhh..." I ranted and stomped my feet.

I sat somewhere in the middle of the class, then I shifted my seat to infront of Taehyung, and I stared at him.

"What you little creep," he rolled his eyes.

"Nothing, how did you, I mean where did you, why did you..." I trailed off and thought for a moment. I didn't know what to ask first.

"What about?" He asked and rested his head on the table in between us.

"How and why did you save me yesterday night?" I asked.

"Well," he sighed and sat up straight, leaned towards me and staring into my eyes. I got nervous, expecting some deep explanation.

"...I wanted to prank you."

I rolled my eyes and lost interest, and I leaned back in my chair. "Go on," I said.

"...I wanted to scare you so I actually stalked you up until the alley, but then I heard you screamed," he explained, "...so, yeah and then that happened."

I nodded, showing I understood. Then I waited for him to speak again but he was silent.

"What?"

"Didn't I ask you another question?" I said.

He looked confused. "How, and wHYY?" I said.

"I don't know why, you're a friend, I guess, so I helped. I don't owe you 5000 won anymore," he smiled.

I chuckled, "Yeah, yeah whatever."

I watched the clock ticked but it felt like forever being in detention. Luckily, it was 15 minutes left.

I turned to my right, 5 tables away and I saw Taehyung sleeping with his back leaning against the chair and his mouth open, his arms folded.

I smirked. Should I disturb him? How?

I tiptoed to him and made sure he was really asleep. Snoring? Checked.

I took out my marker and carefully drew an eye on his forehead. He occasionally flinched but I succeeded in vandalising his face, I drew a tiny little heart by his eyes for finishing touches. There, make up done. Totally prettier than I am.

I tried my best to hold my laughter, but when I went back to my seat I couldn't help but burst when I saw his face, waking him up.

"What's wrong?" He said and rubbed his eyes.

"Nothing," I said and smiled.

He sighed and yawned. He stood up to stretch and slowly walked to the window.

"The weather's good today, wait... My face..." He saw his reflection on the glass window pane and then he turned to me. "LEE HYEJIN!"

I kept laughing and he went around the class chasing me.

"YOU LITTLE RASCAL HOW DARE YOU DRAW ON MY FACE!!"

I stuck out my tongue and ran away from him until I was tired, I ran to a corner, panting hard.

He came to me, also panting. I wanted to run but he pushed me back to the wall.

"Payback time," he said and took out a marker out of his pocket.

"NOOOOO!!" I yelled and tried to push him away but he was strong enough to still keep me trapped in the corner.

"Stay, let me do your make up," He said and gripped my arm tight to stop me from fidgeting. He brought the marker tip closer to my face.

"STOP!" I stepped on his foot hard.

He tried to bear the pain but failed and he ended up falling backwards, but since he was gripping onto my arm, I was pulled and I fell along, landing on top of him.

"Ouch," he said rubbing his bum and then he stared at me, and I stared at him.

The door opened and Mrs Jung entered the class.

"Your detention is-"

She saw us in that awkward position, and she stood rooted to the ground, not believing her eyes.

I rolled away from him and quickly stood up, brushing myself. Taehyung also quickly got up and stood distant from me.

"M-Mrs Jung, um, hi. It's over?" I asked, trying to distract her from what she just saw.

"Y-yes, you may go," she said and looked at us from head to toe.

"Nice drawing on your face Taehyung," she said, "you guys were just drawing on each other's face right?"

She smiled and left.

Crap.
