"I-I was actually helping a new student get to his class." You admitted, staring at the desk that now looked interesting. "I'm really sorry I couldn't meet up with you, Sang Min."

You keep on looking at the desk, not wanting to turn and look at his face. You hear him sigh and you are suddenly pulled into an embrace.

"I was really worried for you, babo." He mutters, and you hug him back as silent apology, but you couldn't help but feel relieved that he was okay with you being late.

"I was calling your phone many times, you know. I thought that something bad had happened to you." You felt guilt that you made your boyfriend, Yeong Sang Min of 2 years, worried.

"I'm sorry." You say, still hugging him. You smell the cologne coming from his uniform blazer, which smelt really good. You and him were still embracing, when your hear a gruff cough coming from the side.

You break from the hug to see your first period teacher, named Mr. Hyun, staring at you both. < Well isn't this awkward... >

"I would like you both to see me after class." He says sternly, a prominent crease forming between his eyebrows. "Public displays of affection are not acceptable, particularly in a classroom environment."

You hear Sang Min curse when Mr. Hyun leaves you both and goes to the front of the room.

"Now, class. My name is Mr. Hyun. I would like to..."

But the words he's saying go in one ear and out the other. You aren't paying attention, still baffled that you got in 'trouble'.

Sang Min quietly calls your name, and you glance at him.

"I'm sorry, ________. I didn't know he would get us in trouble." He mutters, leaning back in his chair. You give a small smile to show you were fine, and turn your head to the front.

"Throughout the school year we will be learning..." You groaned and put your head down on the desk.

♛ 40 minutes later. ♛

Before Mr. Hyun left the classroom to go to his next class, he called Sang Min and you over. "Sang Min, ________, may I have a word with you both."

Exchanging glances, you both got up and headed towards the front of the classroom.

"Please do not show public displays of affection again in this classroom." He says sternly, wagging his index finger in both of your faces. "It is not appropriate in a classroom environment and may negatively affect your peers."

You mentally roll your eyes at his ridiculous statement, but refrain from saying anything. He continues to lecture you, but you start spacing out, his words beginning to sound like gibberish.

"Do you understand, ________?" Mr. Hyun and Sang Min are staring at you.

You feel embarrassed, and slightly bow. "Yes, Mr. Hyun." Mr. Hyun smiles.

"Good. I should be going now, or I'll be late to my next class." He laughs at his own joke and leaves the room after bidding you and Sang Min goodbye.

Sang Min and you exchange confused glances before going back to your desks. A female teacher comes in shortly after.

"Class!" She shouts immediately after standing in front of the room. "I am Mrs. Park, and I am a strict teacher with zero tolerance for disrespect."

< Please let lunch come faster... > You plead in your head while Mrs. Park continues talking.

What do you do?

a. Try to pay attention until lunch comes.

That's the only option for this chapter.
