Absent
Once Upon A Memory
"REALLY?!" Youngmin said in shock.
"Yes, really."
"Aish, that guy. You can't predict him."
You and Youngmin were talking about what happened the other day and about Kwangmin saving you.
Like every morning, the teacher came in and said Good morning. The class greeted him back.
"~~~"
"Present!"
The teacher was taking record of the attendance.
"Ah Hyerin."
"Here."
"Kim Shinyeong."
"Present."
"Lee Jiyoung."
"Here."
"Jo Youngmin."
"Present."
"Jo Kwangmin."
"....."
No one answered. I looked around and saw his seat was empty.
"Sir, he'll be absent today. He has a fever." Youngmin explained.
"Oh, I see."
"He's always absent during the 11th day of the month." a girl said.
"Come to think of it.." the teacher checked last month's attendance and last last month's. "He is always absent during 11."
You heard that and got curious.
"Why is he always absent during the 11th day, Youngmin-ssi?"
"I don't know, sir. But he might be okay tomorrow."
"Why? What happened? August 11? What's with 11? His lucky number?" you asked Youngmin.
"He is sick. Lucky number? Are you kidding me? He's sick during that day and you call that lucky?"
"Always sick during 11? That's rare."
"Wanna check on him later?"
"Eh, Mr. Grumpy will just get grumpy."
*dingdong*
The bell rang and it was time for break time.
"~~~ -ah, you go ahead to the cafeteria."
"Why?"
"Seonsaengnim gave me something to do."
"Eh? I'll just stay here."
"Your choice."
You were walking through the hallway when you heard girl's talking about why Kwangmin was absent.
"Always on the 11th, what's wrong with oppa?"
"I don't know."
"It's because that date is very important to him."
"Excuse me, but why?" you joined their conversation.
"Oh, ~~~ -ssi. Annyeong." they greeted you.
"Annyeong. Can I know why that date is important to him?" you asked the girl.
"They say it's his special day with his girlfriend."
