Where did Soyeon disappear?
-----
I slowly opened the door, my scared self flinching at its reverberating creaks and slowly peeking outside to get a glimpse.
"S-sir? "
"May I come inside, Park?"
"S-Sure sir."
Could you believe that? My school's teaching department's head was visiting me? At my home?
It was an awkward silence. I sat on the couch, eyes staring at my pale hands that were visibly shaking out of fear, placed on my thighs. While Mr. Kang, my physics teacher, looked ironically comfortable, as if he knew the reason for my awkwardness, sipping on to lukewarm water I gave him, to beat the cold.
"So... Park ?"
"Y-Yes, sir ?"
"I got to know what happened today at school. And I am here to give this." he said handing in a bunch of papers to me.
A signed Medical Leave?
"You need time to recover yourself. 2 weeks, dedicate them to yourself. I signed the leave on behalf of your guardian."
My eyes started to fill with tears. No one had ever done that to me. No one. He stood in front of me, and the minute I locked my eyes with him, I swear I saw my dad. My dad, who he was once 6 years ago. His gaze had so much emotion. Sympathy, Love, Affection, a little Confusion, and that Fatherly gaze of his felt like heaven.
"He was my nephew. Don't worry, I got him suspended for a month."
"S-Sorry, Sir."
"Why are you apologizing? That brat should be the one on his knees saying that word." he said, jaw clenching in visible anger. There he was. Our so-called "Hitler teacher". I mean not in a bad way though, I am sorry sir.
"F-For this." I said indicating the paper in my hand.
"That's my pleasure, Park." he said whilst scooting towards me and pulling into a warm embrace. The feeling that I longed to experience again. I hugged him back and I wasn't that short, I could easily see over his shoulder. And there she was.
Soyeon standing at the door of my parent's room. With a small smile. It was an expression that reciprocated and changed the mood of a person, no matter how bad it was. And that person was me.
