Unexpected plan

 

Hyoyeon’s POV

 

“Seongsaengnim!”, the person called. I immediately turned my head to the source of voice. I was surprised to see the unexpected person, standing not far from the reception counter.

 

“Seohyun?”, I said. She was with a… tall and handsome guy who was standing next to her, smiling. Could that be… her boyfriend? I don’t know why, but why I felt a sudden strange feelings inside my heart. Am I...

 

Feeling hurt?

 

Confused?

 

Sad?

 

All those thoughts rushed inside my mind. I was frozen in time where I didn’t know how should I react to the younger girl.

 

“Seongsaegnim, what are you doing here?”, Seohyun asked while holding my arm. I jolted, felt like an electric shock the moment her hand touched my arm. I immediately snapped out of my thought back to the reality, and slowly pulled my arm from her hand.

 

“Oh, I… I’m working here”, I replied, which is true.

 

“Jinja? Wow, this is so unexpected, seongsaengnim!”, she said, sounded excited. I’m confused of what she was meaning. Before my mind could processed her words, she quickly continued.

 

“Seongsaengnim, let me introduce you. This is my friend, and also my senior, Jung Yonghwa. He’s the President of the Students’ Council, and his uncle is the owner of this restaurant”, she explained. “Oppa, this is my instructor in art and dancing course, Miss Kim Hyoyeon”, she introduced me to the guy next to her.

 

“Annyeong, Kim ssi. Nice to meet you!”, he greeted, and bowed to me politely.

 

“Annyeong, Jung ssi. N-nice to meet you too”, I replied, and smile a bit at him. To know the fact that he’s my employer’s nephew, I felt myself so small in front of them. I just wanted to run away.

 

“Ermm.. excuse me, guys. I need to continue my work. Nice to meet both of you here”, I said as I bowed, and started to walk away from them.

 

“Seongsaengnim! W-wait!”, Seohyun called me, and I immediately stopped, and turned to look at her. She ran lightly towards me, and managed to grab my arm.

 

“Yes, Seohyun ssi?”, I asked while looking at her in curious.

 

“C-can you do an extra class for me? I think I’m a bit left in your first class earlier”, she said while panting.

 

“Haishh.. this girl!”, I grunted in my thought.

 

“Ermm.. I actually don’t do extra class for my students”, I replied, and it makes her cheerful face suddenly turned into sad. I felt so guilty all of the sudden. As much as I wanted to avoid from seeing her often, I thought maybe I could help her, as a lecturer. “But, if you want, you can join me and my team practicing our dancing during weekend”, I offered to her.

 

“Yah! Kim Hyoyeon! Did you just say that to her? Are you out of your mind?”, I thought as I mentally slapped to myself, feeling regret for making the offer.

 

“Jinja? Oh, gomawo, seongsaengnim!”, she said excitedly and without she realized, she hugged me. I was shocked. I glanced at Yonghwa, but that guy seems like doesn’t care much as he was busy checking on his phone.

 

“Calm down, Hyoyeon, calm down”, I thought as I tried to calm myself.

 

“Err.. ermm.. I’m sorry, Seohyun ssi. I need to continue my work now”, I said, trying to break myself from this awkward situation.

 

“Oh, I’m so sorry, seongsaengnim!”, she apologized, and quickly released the hug. “So, I’ll see you at college next week”, she said, and bowed to me.

 

“Yeah, see ya!”, I replied, and with that, I excused myself before heading back to the office.

 

“Phew!”, I sighed in relief while leaning my back at the door after I entered my office room. “What’s wrong with that girl? And, what’s wrong with me?”, I mumbled. I sighed once again, and slowly walked to my desk, and flopped myself on the chair. I put my arm on my forehead, while still thinking about what had happened earlier.

 

“Why in the hell I’m still thinking about them? She’s just my student for God’s sake!”, I said to myself while ruffling my hair into mess. While I was busy thinking about the earlier incident, suddenly I heard the knocking sound at the door.

 

“KNOCK! KNOCK!”

 

“Yeah, come in!”, I quickly sat up straight, and shouted. The door then slowly opened, revealing the person who was knocking the door just now.

 

“Annyeong, boss! I need you to check on the list of the ingredients that we need to buy on tomorrow morning”, Kris said as he slowly walked to my desk with a piece of white paper in his hand. He handed the paper which is the ingredients list to me.

 

“Haishh.. this brat! I told you to stop calling me boss!”, I grunted as I gestured him to sit down.

 

“Hehehe.. mianhae, noona!”, Kris chuckled while sitting on the chair in front of my desk. This kid, he liked to tease me since we started to get close with each other. I treated him and Luhan just like my younger brother. I just rolled my eyes annoyingly while starting to scan through the list.

 

“Okay. I will approve the list, and you can give it to Mr. Han. I will call him to give you the money to buy the ingredients”, I said as I signed the paper, and stamped my name on it.

 

“Arasso. Gomawo noona!”, Kris quickly got up from the chair and bowed. He was about to walk to the door, and immediately stopped when I called him.

 

“Err.. Kris, w-wait!”, I said. Kris turned to look at me.

 

“Dae noona?”, he replied.

 

“Ermm.. n-nothing. Just want to ask your opinion”, I said hesitantly.

 

“Oh, really? What is it? Just tell me, noona”, he said as he walked back towards me and sat on the chair.

 

“Ah, it’s just that.. what do you think.. if.. if my student want to join our dance group?”, I asked him. His eyes grew wider as he was surprised.

 

“Oh, jinja? Is he or she?”, he asked excitedly.

 

“Y-yah! What do you mean?”, I snapped at him. He just giggled as he knew that I could read what was playing on his naughty mind.

 

“Mianhae, noona. I was just kidding. Well, I don’t mind at all, and I’m sure Luhan will think the same way either. It just that you need to ask Min noona’s permission first since we always gather at her working place”, he stated his opinion. I nodded my head in agreement.

 

“Good idea. Thanks, dongsaeng. Now, go and continue with your work. Kaja!”, I said. Kris quickly stood up from the chair.

 

“Yes, madam!”, he stood up straight, and playfully salute at me. I just shook my head and laughed at his dorky act. At least this kid made me happy, and I totally forgot about what had happened earlier.

 

Later on that night

 

“Hyo ssi, you looked tired ”, Luna said soon after I approached the reception counter. I just let out a small smile.

 

“Yeah, kind of”, I said. “I have to teach at dance class in the morning before I came here”, I continued. “Ermm.. how many customers still left for dinner tonight?”, I asked her. She quickly checked on the customer’s list on the computer.

 

“Not many, about ten persons at the VIP room. Probably we can closed our business today after they finished their dinner, Hyo ssi”, Luna replied.

 

“Ah, good to hear that. Besides, I don’t think people will come to eat dinner here since it’s almost 10:00 p.m. I can’t feel my leg anymore, you know”, I said. Luna just smiled over my words. I was about to heading back to the office when suddenly Luna called me.

 

“Hyo ssi, do you want me to give you a lift home?”, she asked. I turned around to look at her.

 

“It’s okay Luna, I can take a cab. Besides, we’re not living in the same block. I don’t want to trouble you”, I replied.

 

“Anniyo, Hyo ssi. It’s not a trouble at all. I really want to give you a lift home since it’s already late”, Luna said.

 

“Alright, if you say so. Let’s wait for the last customers to finish their dinner first. I’ll be at my office, okay?”, I replied.

 

“Dae”, Luna said, and with that, I headed back to my office.

 

After making sure our last customers already leaving the restaurant, and all staff did their cleaning work and went back home, I asked Kris to lock the door since he will be the first person to come to the restaurant in the morning.

 

“Alright, thanks so much, Luna”, I said soon after we arrived in front of my apartment block.

 

“Haishh.. don’t mention it, Hyo ssi. Besides, it’s already late, and I think it's quite hard to get a cab at this hour”, she replied.

 

“That’s very kind of you. Thanks once again, Luna. I’ll see you on tomorrow, and drive safely, okay?”, I said as soon as I went out of her car.

 

“Dae. Good night, Hyo ssi!”, Luna bid me goodbye before she left.

 

“Good night!”, I waved at her, and headed to my apartment.

 

The next day

 

Today is the second day of my teaching, and as usual, I have to get up early to go to the university. Since I went there early, I planned to grab some breakfast at the cafe as I didn’t take a dinner on last night. I was extremely tired, and just went straight to bed after freshen up.

 

After paying for my food and coffee at the cashier counter, I walked to the table which located near the window of the cafe. I immediately bite my sandwich while watching the students who passed in front of the cafe. While I was busy munching the sandwich, I felt someone tapped on my shoulder. I quickly turned to look at the person, and gasped.

 

“Good morning, seongsaengnim!”, the person greeted me. She’s no other than Seo Joohyun, my student, and also my...

 

Crush?

 

First love?

 

Could it be her?

 

“H-hey, good morning!”, I said as I still felt awkward with her. She was smiling widely while carrying a tray of food and drinks in her hands.

 

“Can I join you?”, she said as she took a seat next to me, and placed the tray on the table.

 

“Ermm.. y-yeah. Sure”, I replied.

 

“What do you have?”, she asked as she leaned closer to look at my plate. Her face is about an inch from mine.

 

Dup.. dup.. dup.. dup..

 

My heart suddenly beats faster. I flinched a bit as I felt uncomfortable at this sudden closeness.

 

“Oh, it’s a sandwich. Tuna sandwich?”, she asked as she pulled herself back to sit up straight at her seat.

 

“Y-yeah. W-wait, how did you know?”, I replied while looking at her. She just giggled while starting to eat her caesar salad. I furrowed my brows, still curious on what she’s going to answer.

 

“I just knew it through its smell”, she innocently answered after swallowing her food.

 

“This girl.. she’s really.. something”, I thought.

 

“Ermm.. seongsaengnim. Can I ask you something?”, she asked.

 

“What now?”, I thought. It’s not that I don’t want to talk to her, but still, I felt awkward and uncomfortable whenever she’s near to me. Maybe because I'm not used to talking to people other than those who were familiar to me, such as my dear friend, Min, and my colleagues.

 

“Sure, what is it?”, I replied.

 

“When did you start working at the restaurant?”, she asked while sipping her orange juice.

 

“About five years ago”, I replied in short. I was about to ask her a question when suddenly..

 

“There you are!”, a man’s voice being heard. We immediately turned to look at the person.

 

“Oh, Yonghwa oppa!”, Seohyun said as she immediately got up from the chair with a wide smile carved on her lips.

 

“Good morning, Hyunnie!. Oh, Hyo ssi, you’re here too? Good morning!”, Yonghwa greeted us.

 

“Yeah, good morning!”, I replied, and just smiled at him in return.

 

“Oppa, have you had your breakfast?”, Seohyun asked.

 

“Yup, already had just now. I saw you earlier, so, that’s why I came to see you”, he said while smiling charmingly. Yeah, I know, he’s a good looking person, plus, he’s the President of Students’ Council, of course any girls, including Seohyun will fall for him. I decided just to ignore them, and continue eating my breakfast.

 

“Ermm.. Hyunnie. Are you free this afternoon?”, he asked.

 

“Yeah, why?”, she quickly replied.

 

“I want to have a lunch with you”, he said. I could see Seohyun’s face suddenly change, and fidgeting a bit.

 

“Oh, ermm.. I.. a-actually I’ve already had a plan, oppa”, she replied.

 

“Ah.. I see..”, I could see his face suddenly turned into sad, I guess maybe because of the rejection. Seohyun seemed like to notice on his sudden change, quickly said.

 

“I.. I actually will going to have a lunch with Hyo songsaengnim”

 

“M-mwoh?”
