Stuck in Between

3. Disappointment

Chorong POV

The class is over. I was in charge of cleaning the classroom today so I told Eunji and everyone to just go ahead and not wait for me anymore.

It's 7pm. I was walking through the hallway when I passed by a slightly open room with lights on. I got curious because all other rooms are closed already. Who could still have been inside in this hour?

I peeped on the slight opening of the door and I saw a familiar back doing something like dancing with a sword. Babo! He's doing martial arts. Isn't that called Wushu or whatever it is?

I was so fascinated by his moves. It's my first time seeing someone do perfect stunts in person, and it's just meters away. I can't help but admire him.

I gasp when I saw who the guy was.. It's Tao.

I think he heard my gasp because he suddenly stopped and turned around to see who it was. I quickly turned to the side wall to hide.

"What are you looking at?"

I almost screamed in surprised and fright but I managed to cover my mouth.

Grease was leaning on the side wall.

More than being shocked of his sudden appearance, I am now more angry remembering the incident this morning.

I just gave him a cold look and walked away.

Though my back is turned, I could see him sarcastically laughing as I leave.

What's his problem? Did I do something wrong to him in the past and now he is off for vengeance? I don't remember meeting him before though.

Huh! Maybe he is just in drugs. Crazy and high!

Remembering his face.. that stare.. oh! goosebumps! Now I am more convinced. He is really in drugs.

It's almost midnight and I still have lots of homework to do. I went out to go to the convenience store to get something to eat to fight drowsiness.

I was about to get a pack of Jjajjang when someone touched the same pack as me.

I turned to see who it was.

Heol~ why do I have to see this person all the time?

It's Grease again.

I took another pack instead, but he also took what I took. Is thia guy playing with me?

I faced him. "What do you want?"

"Jjajang" he answered without looking at me, took 3 packs of instant jjajjangmyun, and put it in his basket which is full of other stuff. He then went straight to the counter.

I was left there feeling dumb. Why do I feel disappointed?

I ate my jjajjang while doing my homework. What had happened a while ago came to my mind.

I find myself giggling thinking how holding a store basket doesn't fit him.

I stopped and shook my head from side to side. No! Stop thinking about him.

But..why did I feel disappointed with that incident? Was I expecting him to do some jerk-stuff again?

Coz we think he likes you. That echoed inside my head.

I shook my head again. No!!! Did I just believe in what they told me? HEOL~~ No!!!
