The Deal Pt. 2
3 Weeks to 143
From the very beginning, I felt that following Kim Jongin out of the room was a very bad idea. I realized what that nagging feeling is all about.
He is indeed, furious. I can practically see steam coming off his ears. He wasn’t talking either. I’m not really fond of silent treatment.
“So why were you late?” I asked trying to lighten the mood.
However, this seems to only add fuel to the fire, he whirled around to face me.
“Now you ask?” he barked. “Now, you ask why I’m late?”

“Ms. So, I’m so disappointed. You’re my best student during your junior year. I wasn’t expecting you to play hooky with some guy …” he trailed off but I know exactly where his remark is going.
I bow my head in shame, not being able to defend myself from him.
“I’ll make sure to take action of this event, Ms. So.” He finalized giving me another look of disappointment.
