Mr. Arrogants
29

The lesson hours are over and it's a pity for me, I have detention. I report to Mr. Kim and taken to class.

"Come in" he said and I stepped inside the detention class and sighed. He closed the door and locked it.

Then, I saw Taehyung sleeping on the desk in the middle of class. Again I was not alone during detention. I smiled and approached him. I wanted to sit next to him when suddenly something hit my mind.

'Choi Mina's.'

No, I can't get close to Taehyung. I can't betray Mina.

I sighed and pried away to another bench. I pulled out the chair carefully and sat down, resting my head on the table.

All right, honestly, I have to say, I have feelings for Taehyung. Just, slightly. I know he's a cold and rude man. But when he's good, he's really good.

Knowing Mina also liked her, I tried to stay away from Taehyung so I would not fall for her and betray Mina. I can't, Mina is my best friend.

I kept thinking about it and my eyes became watery when suddenly someone clapped his hands in front of my face to my surprise.

"Circle of light?" Taehyung.

"Oh, hey," I replied and pretended to smile.

he sat down next to me and I felt bad, I quickly stood up and made sure there was a safe distance between us.

"Why are you here too?" tanyakanya.

"I'm late for school, remember?" my answer.

"Tck, why are you so late now" he said and poked my hand, and I walked away.

"I'm here because I was arrested for breaking the teacher's desk again. No luck huh." la told me.

I pretended to smile again and ignored him, turning around. I was nervous about grabbing the side of the chair.

"Hey, let me see your hand" he said.

I panicked and ignored him again.he clasped my hand which still had bruises. I quickly pulled it.

he looked at me, confused. "I just want to see that bruise, why are you?"

I bit my lips and looked down. "no need. I'm fine," I said.

"Hey... Why were you whipped? Is it because you came home late last night?" tanyakanya.

I slowly nodded, but I did not look at him.

"You're so weird today. Pabo Hyejinnie." he said and investigated my face.

"Leave me alone, I need a break" I said, leaning my head against the table. He also leaned his head against the table as he looked at me. I couldn't stop feeling his presence near me. I just feel so wrong.

I gave up and looked at him, my eyes a little watery. I just can't cover up this feeling.

"You okay?" she asked, still looking at me, "You're not what you used to be."

"Taehyung ah's..." Called him.

"What?" the answer.

"From now on, can you stay away from me? I mean, don't talk at all or eat together during breaks. And I'll try not to get the same detention as you do," I told him, holding back my tears. To be honest, I don't know why I'm sad.

"What are you talking about? Did your parents tell you to stay away from me? They know you came out last night to see me? Wh why? Why should we stay away from each other?" he attacked me with a lot of questions.

"Just do it okay" I said.

"When? Now?" tanyakanya.

"Yes, now."

he got out of his place and walked away, sitting far away from me. My heart hurts a little. It's easy for him, isn't it? I doubt he likes me or anything. I wish Mina all the best. I sighed and rested my head on the table, waiting for the detention to end.

...***...

Two or three days passed and I still hadn't spoken to Taehyung, or seen him, at all. It's Friday morning and I'm walking to the hallway. The lesson hasn't started yet but I've been hoping the lesson hours are over so I can lie in my bed all day and just wake up on Sunday.

I dragged my feet into my locker, feeling a little sick and fed up.

"Heyjin ah!" Someone called. That's Mina.

I smiled weakly at him. "Oh, hey."

"You okay? You look pale and look exhausted."

"It's nothing, I'm just a little feverish" I said.

"Ah... Heals quickly. I just wanted to tell you that, I might.." he shut up and looked left and right before continuing, "I might express my feelings to Taehyung coming home from school today."

"really? Goody! All the best!" I hope, happy for him.

"Thanks. I need a boost from you~ and please give me a suggestion, Master Hyejin." God and put his hand in my hand.

I slowly laughed. "Just do it and be confident. This is the first time you've confessed, isn't it?"

"You know me well. I hope he accepts me. I was so nervous" she said, sounding very excited.

I smiled fake.

"Hyejin. I'll take you to the UKS" said Mina and looked at my face, worried.

"No. I said I'm fine. Let's go to class

"You okay?" Seojun asked me.

I'm nodding. Suddenly, the bell rings. Now it's a break. Everyone stood up and rushed to the cafeteria. I slowly got up from my stool.

Mina came towards me while everyone was gone.

"Hey... Why are you so weak today?" he asked while feeling the temperature on my forehead.

"Your temperature must be very high."

"I'm good, very good," I said and wiped the sweat down my forehead.

"You're sweating, your mouth is dry, you're pale. You're really sick," said Seojun.

"KUBILANG I'M FINE! MOVE OVER!" I raised my voice at them, pushing them aside.

I walked a few steps, a little bit of a whim. My backups started to run away and my legs became weak. Suddenly, I felt a collapse and it was all dark.

...***...

I slowly opened my eyes and my head hurt. I adjusted my gaze to the light in the room and I saw two figures in the room I was in.

Who'sis that? Where am I?

I looked around and I recognized the bed I was sitting on. I'm in the UKS. I slowly sat down and put on my shoes. I feel a little weak, but I really want to get out of here.

I was about to step out of the infirmary when I suddenly saw two people I knew - Taehyung and Mina, standing outside, talking.

I quickly stepped back silently and hid behind a wall, trying to hear what they were talking about.

"Taehyungdo... There's something I want to tell you." I heard Mina talking.

"What?"

"Actually I.." he fell silent, I peeked outside and saw him clutching his shirt tightly, so nervous.

"I like you."

My heart fell over hearing the word that came out of his mouth, even though I already knew about this. I waited patiently for Taehyung's reply. I saw his face empty.

"So... I know it's awkward but can I be your girlfriend?" Mina bravely confessed to him.

Before he - Taehyung- answered him, my stupid foot accidentally kicked the table behind me and the vase on it fell and broke.

Their attention is focused on the health room. "Hyejin I?" I heard Taehyung calling me.

Sialsiasial

I quickly took off my shoes and jumped back into bed.

They both rushed into the medical room. "Heyjin?" Mina called me. She gasped at the broken vase.

"What's going on?" ask Taehyung. I try not to gasp and calm myself down. I looked at the two of them and then looked down.

"I don't know, the table must have shaken so the vase fell off. Why am I here, I want to go home" I said and sat down.

"You fainted in class. I'm glad you're sober. Taehyung and I talked to make sure you were okay. You can go home if you want" he said and patted me on the back.

"I want to go home. Take my bag," I said.

"Okay, I'll get your bag. Taehyung you stay here okay" he said.

"No no no I'll take it" Taehyung said but it was too late because Mina was gone.

The room felt full of awkward atmosphere between me and Taehyung. I looked down and he turned away from me.

"Why are you sick?" he suddenly asked and my heart beat fast.

"Uh, I don't know," I replied.

he suddenly looked at me, then he sat down next to my bed. I gulped. I was nervous and shifted a few inches.

"That's why you're avoiding me?" tanyakanya. I looked back, confused.

"Huh? What's?" I asked, pretending I didn't understand.

"You heard Mina confess to me, right? You're avoiding me so you're not gonna hurt Mina, are you? You're starting to like me, aren't you?!"

"SILENCE!" I screamed at him and covered my ears, my eyes watering. "I don't like you! Don't talk nonsense!"

he looked at me with cold eyes. "So why are you avoiding me? Tell me."

Mina suddenly entered the UKS. I quickly put on my shoes and grabbed my bag from her.

"Thank you" I told her and rushed out of the infirmary, walking home.

...***...

I finally got home and ran into my room. I threw my bag on the floor and looked for medicine in my drawer. I swallowed the antibiotic pill and lay on my bed, exhausted. Without me knowing, tears fell from my eyes.

How did Taehyung read my mind? I should hate him. I can't be nice to her, I have to completely avoid her.

I sighed, closed my eyes, and tears kept falling down my cheeks.

I will forget you, Kim Taehyung.
