CHAPTER TWELVE
1020 Words
" Umm.. Jimin where is Yeon-seo, I ... I heard what happened, it's great news right. " I tried to reply without stammering but all efforts where fatile.
Jimin just wrote down on his notes as the teacher was talking and completely ignored me, I felt bad, did I do something wrong.
" Did everything go right....is Yeon-seo still at the hospital, is the big surgery over." I exclaimed again but I got the cold shoulder, Jimin raised his hand to the chemistry teacher and asked a question, he was treating me like I didn't exist.
I held my breath confused and also went back to my notes, this went on till the end of the period and when they rang the bell for the next class, everything became worst, as people surrounded to talk to him, I was pushed aside, that brought a dagger to my heart.
"He was being indifferent just when I realized how I felt, like he always does." I thought, squeezing my pencil tightly.
The rest of the day blew away so quickly and I enjoyed most of the company alone, Stacy had her own people to chat with, the Luminous band where too popular for my type of personality, and my brother...well his back to treating me like he didn't know me, this was also one of the disadvantages of being Min-jin choi, I had no habit of expressing myself, hurt people without knowing it and end up winding up back to me myself and I .
"Min-jin, I filled the form." Dong-Hyun replied to me, in the cafeteria, with my head slumped to the desk, he didn't recognize my sobbing cause his concentration glued to the paper in his hands.
However when he looked at me his expression changed to pale.
" Are you okay." He questioned, moving his hands towards my hair and I cleaned the little drops of tears in my eyes before turning to face him.
"I was just....um sleepy, no big deal." I yawned and took the document from his hands as quickly as he could ask what happened .
Min....
" I think all we need now is Hyun-woo approval."I exclaimed, jolting to my feet, towards the exit of the cafeteria, away from Dong-Hyun, I could feel the tears coming out from my eyes, but I didn't want anyone comfort, I normally trusted Yeon-seo to comfort me in this time , but now she wasn't anywhere to be found, I was alone once again.
I ran through the hallway with determined speed to get away from Dong-Hyun and have a talk with the student body president, at least if I engrossed myself In school work, I wouldn't fill the broken pieces of my heart, I wouldn't feel like am left alone again and I wouldn't feel like an unimportant person, a ghost that no one could see or care about.
In the process of running without thinking, my body collided with something really hard and I almost fell to the ground but a hand caught me tightly to the surface.
My face was glued to the warm flesh of someone chest, it's heart was beating fast, my body trapped against the strong abbs against the fabric and when I turned up my head to see the person that had caught me so intimately, my eyes widened to a shock, it was Jimin, and he was staring at me with a cold gaze of indifference.
I turned my head away from his intimidating stare and I couldn't help but cry, a tear out of mere embarrassment to bury myself alive in a hole and one with the feeling like he hates me.
Jimin hands wrapped around my waist tightly and I was forcefully dragged to a room which now I realized looked like the janitor closet.
He was still quiet and speechless but I was confused when he slowly lifted his fingers to wipe my tears away , my face grew bright red.
"Am sorry for coming so close to you, but why are you crying Min-jin." His voice replied mixed with a void of emotions, him calling me Min-jin made me feel bad, he was literally the last person I needed to bump into.
He didn't bother waiting for my explanation but drew me into an embrace, tears flowed down my cheeks and I was speechless, why was he doing this to me after he clearly ignored me earlier this morning.
I...I thought you don't want to speak to me...yo..you hate me." I sniffled, and I honestly did not know what made me to say that outburst to him.
Jimin pulled away from the hug and looked at me once again, my face was filled with tears and sweat, he smiled a little at me and drifted his hand to my eyes, cleaning my drop of tears once again.
" I would never hate you cheayoung, but I would respect your wishes of leaving you alone." He muttered, sighed and went out of the janitors closet, leaving me breathless and lost for words.
We were so close then, that our lips almost came in contact, the way he brushed my skin so lovingly as he wiped away my tears gave me some adrenaline to hold him tight and he read my mind by pulling me into an embrace, all i could feel right then was my uncomfortable beating heart.
I held my cloth tightly around my collar, to take a deep breath and calm my heart but all efforts was futile, I was still red as hot pepper.
The bell to the end of break rang and I was forced to go back to class, a class that contained me and Jimin, seating side by side after whatever that just crossfired in the janitors closet.
"We were having physics now." I thought.
Which I then remembered the project of your partner being your seat mate , since Yeon-seo wasn't around and Jimin was the only person seating at my right.
Jimin is going to be my partner for the physics midterm project!!!. I exclaimed in utter shock
