Chapter 37 - Awkward

As they walk into the class and Hae Ra waves at them smiling ,but she gets no reaction back as they just stop by the door looking at her hopelessly

Bong Soon:(sulking ) How can I tell her to get off my seat if she's smiling

Soo Hyun:(about to exit)I'm so done with today.

Mr Hei:(entering the class)And where do you think you're going Mr Baek?

Soo Hyun: Umm...

Mr Hei:Don't even bother trying to make up a lie ,everyone settle down NOW!

They all sit down as Bong Soon remains standing still  glaring at Hae Ra

Mr Hei:Miss Kim that's not the only  seat in class there's free seat beside Mr Baek.

Bong Soon: (annoyed )Okay

So now officially the back row consists of Min Ho close to the door  ,Soo Hyun  in the middle and Bong close to the windows.

Mr Hei:I see we've got a new face today

Hae Ra :Um yes  , I started coming  today ,I used to learn here before I started home schooling but  now I'm  back  .

Everyone in the class cheers for her except for the backrow

Bong Soon: (sulking to herself) They never cheered for me when I came.

Mr Hei:(smirking) And what was that Miss Kim.

Bong Soon: (embrassed )Umm Nothing sir.

Mr Hei:I just saw you

Bong Soon:(in her thoughts)Aish does he have some superpower which makes him see every little thing.... (sarcastically  addressing him)You're getting old...your vision isn't that well, you probably didn't see correctly.

Everyone in the class chuckles

Mr Hei walks to her desk  leans towards her making her move away awkwardly  and says

"I'm only 21"

All the girls squeal

Min Ho: (annoyed talking to himself) Is that even allowed .

Bong Soon :(looks straight at him)That's old enough

All the boys chuckle

Mr Hei just smirks and walks back to his desk

Mr Hei:Well we had scheduled a test for today but that wouldn't be fair on our new student .

As people are a bout to cheer Hae Ra cuts them off..

Hae Ra: (smiling) It's okay sir let's write  the test

Mr Hei: Are you sure?

Hae Ra: (nodding) Yes I'm sure.

Hae Ra  wishes the back row the best but she gets no reaction from them.

Bong Soon: (pissed) Its as if she knew I'm not ready for this test.

2hrs later

Mr Hei :Time is up,you can exit when I've collected your paper

He collects in columns starting with Min Ho's.Soon he arrives at the last desk where Bong Soon is sitting   just dying to finally leave the room so she can forget about the stuff she wrote .

Mr Hei:Do you think you did well

Bong Soon: (handing him the paper)I highly  doubt  it

Mr Hei:You should be more positive towards yourself

Bong Soon: (getting up from her desk)I prefer  being real with myself

She exits the room

Mr Hei sits on her desk and just smiles

Bong Soon  arrives at the cafeteria

Myung Soo :(smiling)My Soonie ,how was it?

Bong Soon: (sulking) I think I failed

Myung Soo: (hugs her) Don't worry you did well,

Hae Ra walks into the cafeteria

Won Ho: (casually) Oh ,Hae Ra Is back

Bong Soon: (amused) How can you not even surprised by this?

Won Ho: I'm just not the type that gets surprised

Bong Soon: (annoyed) Are you  even human

Won Ho: No I'm an alien

Min Young: (thinking outloud) Yeah  ,he's totally out of this world

There's a sudden akward silence as they all stare at a now  shy Min Young

Myung Soo: So ....,why is she back

Bong Soon: I don't know ,she must really like pissing  Soo Hyun off.

Hae Ra arrives at their table

Hae Ra: Hey guys

Won Ho: Hey

Myung Soo: (cold) Hi

Hae Ra: I heard that you guys are together now ,

Bong Soon:(cold) Yep

Hae Ra :You guys look adorable

Bong Soon: (fake smiling) We know

Hae Ra: (fake smiling) Okay, I'm going  (pointing at a nearby table )I'll be sitting over there,just wanted to say hi.

Myung Soo: Okay bye Hae Ra

Hae Ra: (sadly surprised )You didn't call me Eunnie

Myung Soo:(shy) Well ...Ummm

Bong Soon: (saving him)You should really  go and eat soon the break will be over.Bye

Hae Ra: Okay I'm going now

Hae Ra goes  and sits at the table on her own.A couple minutes later she's joined by a group of people.

Won Ho: Weren't you a bit too harsh with her

Bong Soon: What ?,did you want me to shower her with sunshine, kisses ,hugs and rainbows.

Myung Soo: We'll be nicer next time ,right Soonie

Bong Soon: I'll be nicer, but call me Soonie one more time and you'll regret it

Min Young :(looking at Hae Ra's already full table)Wow  she already has friends.

Won Ho: Its easy for pretty people to make friends

Min Young: Yeah she's really pretty,so I'm ugly right .I still have no friends besides you  guys.

Won Ho: No you're not ugly you're adorable  and we're all the friends you need.

Min Young: (sulking) Not adorable like Hae Ra

Bong Soon: Can we please just eat without mentioning her.

Min Young: What did she do that you hate her so much

Bong Soon: I don't hate her,it's complicated so lets not go there .

Min Young: Ummm,okay  then young miss

After break

Myung Soo, Min Young and Won Ho get back to their class.

Rachel:Can we share the textbook ,I forgot mine

Myung Soo: Okay cool

Min Young looks at them

Rachel:(annoyed) What's up with her?

Myung Soo: (smiling)What about her?

Rachel: She's always looking over here like some creep.

Myung Soo: (sarcastic) Awe really, I never noticed.

Min Young looks at back at Won Ho

Min Young: Aren't they a bit too close

Won Ho: They are just sharing a book,it's no big deal.

Min Young: (sceptical) If you say so,but hey do you know why everyone hates that Hae Ra.

Won Ho: Awe that old story,she just used to be Mr Baek' s mistress.

Min Young: (surprised) Soo Hyun's dad?

Won Ho: Yep

Min Young: But he's so old

Won Ho: Well he's also very rich

Min Young:(confused)Didn't she date Soo Hyun before?

Won Ho: She did

Min Young: (disgusted)She's got no shame

Won Ho: (chuckles) So this  is how it feels to gossip.

Min Young: (shocked) You've never gossiped before

Won Ho: Mmm  not really

Min Young: (petting him)You're just too adorable.

Evening

Min Young and Bong Soon are in the kitchen doing the dishes

Bong Soon:What's the news for today

Min Young: Well today they were really close.But only  because they were sharing a textbook.

Bong Soon:(annoyed)The old book trick huh

Min Young: They seemed happy even though they could see I was staring right at them,they were not intimidated at all.

Bong Soon: I thought we agreed you have to be lowkey about it

Min Young :It was only this time, they caught me staring at them so I couldn't back down

Bong Soon: Okay but next time don't make it too obvious. I don't want him to think I'm petty or let her know that she's a threat.

Min Young: But Myung Soo seems loyal

Bong Soon: He is but women change people,look at what happened with my dad.He loved my mom dearly but threw it all away for his trashy assistant.

Min Young: I get where you're coming from

Mrs Kim who was spying by the door gets sad and goes up to her room followed by a  concerned Mrs Gu

Bong Soon finishes her chores and goes up to her room and just lies on her bed

Bong Soon: What a day ,I went worried about the exam then Hae Ra just had to show up and make the day worse.I might have even liked her a little bit if she agreed to the cancellation on of the exam but no ....I wonder why she's back....Is she trying to win back Soo Hyun   because the way she kept on finding excuses to look back at him was pathetic..... I mean she found the perfect spot lucky her, I hate where I'm sitting now..... I feel more distant from the guys... .At least back then I could still hear what they were saying now Hae Ra has that privilege. How unlucky am I really.....

MEANWHILE...at the Baeks

Soo Hyun:I need you to do some research on someone

Mr So:Who might that be young master.

Soo Hyun:This new teacher from my school.He calls himself Mr  Hei.

Mr So:(concerned)Did he do something to you .

Soo Hyun: No ,but I didn't like the way he spoke with her.

Mr So:(confused)Her?

Soo Hyun: You shouldn't worry about that,just do your job and don't  tell my dad I asked you to do this.

Mr So: Okay young master ,as you say.I'm leaving now enjoy your evening.

Soo Hyun: Same to you.

Mr So exits the Baek residency

Soo Hyun: On one hand I've got this sketchy teacher and on the other Hae Ra just had to come in the picture.How can someone that young be our teacher...Why did she have to stop getting homeschooled , couldn't she find another school to go to....i can't stand the sight of her....Now she's even taken Bong Soons place .that's the only time I get to be close to her ,well now she's by my left but it feels like she's a mile away .I can't even smell the scent of her hair or her sweet  perfume.One thing is for sure,I'll get rid of Hae Ra .
