Chapter 25.
I sit quietly at my desk at the back watching other people interact, jotting down in my little notebook the behaviours and personality of everyone. Yoongi said we needed to know the students better so that we could see what works for what group.
Ever since that embarrassingly - fatal - day that I got humiliated, I decided I would do what's best for me and separate myself from the mean girls..something I should've done on my first day. So here I am at my [supposing] right spot- well it was supposed to be the one next to Namjoon but Jimin refused to move, therefore I ended up sitting at the back of him next to some weird boy, Im Changkyun. It's almost been a week and three days of seating here.
It's not the best seat but as long as I'm away from the evil in the front I'm fine. A group of girls are writing on the board, I think the girls names are Neli and Nita..ill girls.
"Class!" Neli the slightly obese girl calls out, "Let's learn something today,"
Nita, the obese girl, gets some peoples attention when she steps away from the board revealing what they will be (joking) teaching about.
"How to get away with cheating," I feel a harsh glare on me and turn my head only to see an evil eye from Seolhyun. I ignore her and watch Nita.
Seol and I have almost become enemies- well she isn't fond of me and I'm not that much of her fan, if only I could prove to her that Jimin and I aren't screwing but nope! She won't believe me, but listens to her skank.
"First question: What is the first thing you do when you are caught with a boy or girl that is not your boyfriend or girlfriend?" Neli asks and waits for answers.
A boy in the front bursts out laughing and speaks, "Just say you were giving directions,"
"Good answer, anyone else- oh yes?"
"Just say you were passing by and happened to stop at the same place as he did," the girl shrugs her shoulders.
Neli looks at her and shakes her head, "That is the correct answer for the wrong question my dear,"
These girls are entertaining and they seemed to have caught everyone's attention except the boy next to me who's mute and keeps his head on the table.
Nita and Neli are quit something considering the reputation they hold for class clowns, something I'll have to deal with since its my [and Yoongi's] job to keep order at our school.
"The correct answers," Nita starts while writing answers on the board. "You must say it's my brother/sister or its my neighbour,"
Namjoon turns his head at the back to meet my eyes that are slightly tilted upwards as I laugh, "Are you seriously participating in this iconoclastic action?"
"No, it's just funny," I remark. He returns his gaze back to his book.
"Next question: how do you prevent being caught?" They asks.
Namjoon raises his hand and almost everybody is shocked. "Yes Namjoon?"
"Well for starters you shouldn't cheat-" as he speaks a bunch of people start to 'boo' him. "-it's wrong and secondly-"
"Okay we don't want to hear that-" Nita stops him and points to me. "-what about you Yoona, since your plan backfired, maybe you have some tips for us,"
My plan? Backfire?
"Why are you asking her? You said it yourself," Choa smirks from the front. "Her plan backfired," I roll my eyes realising that they are talking about the so called scandal of Jimin and I
"I have an answer. Stop taking screenshot of chats!" Someone yells filling in.
"Plan very well when organizing your cheating date," the class bursts with answers and comments. Nobody notices the presence of the male teacher by the door. I quickly look away as my eyes meet his.
His throat clears and like lightening people run to their seats. "How embarrassing that such young beautiful girls like yourself speak about such spiteful acts, cheating," Mr Kwon says. He walks in the class reading the notes on the board. Nita curses audibly and hides herself. Mr Kwon chuckles, his laugh coming as a dangerous gurgle, he focuses on the class and calls on my name.
"Young lady," he addresses me. I point to myself as he smirks and quietly leaves the class, "Follow me if you please," he says. I quickly get up leaving the class.

"Do you know why I brought you here?"
"No sir,"
The music room. I've never been here in the mornings before, only during class time. Its the same as before but somehow it feels a little warm.
"Well Mrs Kim told me that you will be participating in the 5th annual school review. Of course everyone will participate, but you're doing a special act,"
"Yes sir,"
"That's lovely," he throws a little smile. "I happened to see your name on one of the sheets and wondered if you would sing for me,"
"Sing?"
"Yes,"
He hands me the music sheets and sits by the piano and plays the familiar tune of the song I have been rehearsing to. My voice echo's from my throat as I start singing.
The melody starts turning soft and slow, I watch as Mr Kwon's fingers skilfully play each note before ending on the low key. "Beautiful, very beautiful"
"Thank you," I slightly bow.
He stands from the piano and walks slowly rounding me. "You know, Yoona," he starts. "I'm sure you've heard countless of times that music has to be felt in the soul right?" I nod my head. "Good. Its very true, music has to be felt from within and I can hear from your voice that you have no problem altering emotions, but what I can advice is for you to have feelings," he stops and stares at me, his crystal eyes gripping my own eyes. "Emotion is good but feeling is better,"
I repeat after him. "Feeling is better,"
"Every word has to be felt," his face is so close that I can smell his fresh breath. His smile is so hypnotic that my knees grow weary beneath me that I back up a bit to ensure that they have not given up on me.
"What is the song about?" He asks.
"Mrs Kim told me that the song is about a young girl who comes to a new place and is immediately in love with it."
"Miss Kim told you that, but what does it mean for you?"
"It's basically about a new world one falls in love with," I answer nervously. "And for me I would feel its a new experience one has in this new world,"
"Go on, connect it with a deeper feeling," he begins whispering.
"Well-" I pause myself focusing on his eyes again. "To me it seems as if the girl ran away from something in the past that she simply cannot go back to and this new world has offered something to her that she looks forward to,"
"That's a good observation but," he comes close again. "Would you say that this girl is bond to go back to where she came from?"
"I'm not su-"
"Or if something better was offered to her she would keep changing world's?"
"Sir-"
"Think about it Yoona," he steps back turning on his heel. "Think about it. I want you to go home and do some research on this topic,"
"Yes sir," I nod my head.
"Find a link between your life and her life,"
My life? What is he hinting at?
"Thank you young lady, you may find your way to class or.." He comes forward again. "Would you like me to escort you to class?" He whispers.
"No I- Actually I would like that very much sir-"
Wait. Where did that come from? That was not me talking.
"Sir I meant no- its not a problem sir-"
What's going on?
"Then shall we?" He asks speaking back to normal. That was weird. It felt like my own mouth was being controlled. Maybe it was Hoseok controlling my mouth, but why would he want me to walk with Mr Kwon.
"Yes sir," I'm confused at my own mouth.
We both walk out the class and he hums a soft tune. I've heard that whistle before but I'm not sure where.. in my dream?
"Good morning sir," I break eye contact with the floor and look up to the voice of Jimin.
"Ah good morning Jimin, how are you?"
"I'm very well sir," he glances at me once his eyes smirking.
"That's good. I've been meaning to talk to you and Hoseok and also the young lady here," he looks at me. Jimin frowns for a second but nods his head. "It's about the 5th Annual Review,"
"Oh but isn't that Mrs Noyo and Miss Kim job, Sir," Jimin asks out of the blue.
Mr Kwon chuckles with an adorable smile. "It is. But you need not know of the secrets in the teachers meetings do you?"
"I'm head leader of the school governing body, so of course I know same insight Sir," Jimin says very respectively but it somehow came of intimidating. Mr Kwon keeps his composure and nods.
"A brave one you are," he says and walks away. "I shall see the three of you during break time in the music room,"
"Uh thank you sir- for the walk," I say as he turns around with his popular smile.
"You're welcome young lady,"
Jimin motions back to the class and I follow him. "Young lady?"
"I don't know where that came from," I say honestly, shrugging my shoulders. Jimin looks over at me and stops, I stop too.
"I'm glad you came Sunday to the business conference," he suddenly says.
"Oh Jimin you make it seem as if I had anything better to do," he shrugs his shoulders playfully.
"I assumed Hoseok as your boyfriend would bother you on weekends," Jimin says crossing his arms. "Speaking of which, Mr Kwon...."
"What about him?"
He looks at me for a while his eyes going through my face. He shakes his head and turns.
"Tell me Jimin," I push.
"Well don't look at me like that, but I find him as a great man."
"Okay," I encourage.
"But great man like him shouldn't be unwatched," he says sounding familiar to the Claudias's quote.
"What are you hinting Jimin?"
He sighs and looks down, his fingers go through his hair. "I'm just saying,"
"Okay," I urge him.
"Look," he sighs and slowly starts walking again. "His a sub teacher and his been very busy lately for a sub teacher,"
"I wouldn't know that since I don't have as much insight on all the teachers or sub teachers," I playfully say imitating his talk.
He laughs lightly, "Work hard love," he smiles. Did he just call me love? I look away and walk ever so slowly.
"You know register period has already started," I say slowly. He nods and strides with me. "And I know if we go inside together Seol-"
"Don't be afraid of her," Jimin says suddenly becoming serious again.
I sigh and shake my head, "Jimin you saw what she did to me-"
"-Yoona don't be afraid of her okay?" I breathe in heavily looking away. "I'm sorry," I look ahead as he speaks. "What she did to you that day was totally unexpected-"
"Then why didn't you do anything as Leader?" I ask slightly raising my voice. "Jimin I get that she's your girlfriend, and that she doesn't scare you but to me," I point to myself walking ahead. "To me it's different. I'm actually now very cautious of her anything. I do- especially if it has something to do with you she reprimands me on it," he grabs my wrist and pulls me to him.
"Jimin no, what are you doing?" I yank my hand away. "You don't get that she'll turn my life into a living hell do you?"
"As long as I'm here I'll make sure she doesn't do that," he says.
I look into his eyes and shake my head looking away. What is he doing to me..
"Why do you do this to me?" I ask keeping my head down afraid to see his reaction or how long for him to answer.
"Because," he starts. "You're very special to me,"
My eyes dart to him, a sharp breath hitches in my throat. "Why's that?"
He comes close, the tip of his tongue glides down his bottom lip, he licks it making it moist. He chuckles and looks away. "I'll tell you on another day, but right now I need you not to be scared or frightened of Seol okay?"
For some reason my head bobs. He smiles and pinches my cheek, "cute," I swat his hand away looking at him confused which he returns to me.
"I-I'm sorry, that's what Seol did to me before she messed me up," I motion to my cheeks and my hair referring to the whole clear skin and milk thing.
Together we head back to class but I go before him and he comes in the class a little bit later making it less suspicious.
My head hurts at all the thinking thoughts that come up one after the other.
