The Cheese in the Trap
Beneath The Starlight
We were whisked away into an isolated class by a Mrs. Oh after school for detention. Turns out she's a Math teacher. I totally love Math (not). I remember when I took my final exam in fifth grade I had to be guarded (literally) to prevent me from running out of the exam hall screaming "Death to algebra!!!" I'd done that before. Well, as usual, class -detention- was boring and even more so since it was Math. I didn't dose off or anything -Choi Min Ho did though- but for some reason I found more interest in staring at my pen than the blackboard. Who was I kidding when I said detention would be interesting? Detention is anything BUT interesting. It should be renamed "de-torture" that name suits it perfectly. It was quite uneventful but for the paper aeroplane that landed strangely on my table. I opened it and read "Meet me at the gym after detention. I miss you. Hyun Joong." My heart did somersaults. I turned back and caught him giving Kim Bum a quizzical look, but then he saw me and smiled. I smiled back. 'Miss Suljini, what are you looking at!?' Man, this woman had powerful lungs. Detention ended a few minutes later and we all shuffled out leaving Mrs. Oh to do whatever it is teachers do after detention. I went straight to the restroom to give the guys time to leave, so I'd meet Hyun Joong at the gym. I used the opportunity to touch up a few things here and there. I looked good when I was done and left the restroom five minutes later feeling elated. I'd never been in a gym before because I figured where there are sweaty guys, the air is bound to get misty, if you know what I mean. But don't get me wrong, I do my laps too #wink. I opened the door leading to the gym and stepped in. Hmm.... Not bad.... For guys. At least it didn't smell so bad. 'Hyun Joong, where are you?' I waited five seconds, no reply. I was about to ask again when I felt firm arms slide around my waist. The question died in my throat. I just sighed. 'I missed you.' A snicker. 'I didn't.' I turned so quickly, my neck hurt and leaped out of his arms. There, standing in front of me, smiling (how dare he smile!?) was the devil himself, Kim Bum. 'Hey, Sugarpie.' He waved, 'Wow, just a day in school and you're already at the top of the romance chart. Somehow, I knew you wouldn't refuse the letter. It was the cheese in my mouse trap' he smiled 'How fortunate for me to have you here. Now, for the reason I brought you here....' He took a step forward.
