Chapter 29 - Promise

Hae Rin's head is tapped gently with a pencil.

"It hurts!" Hae Rin held her head.

"You did it wrong. I taught you just now and you forget it? "Min Jun was angry with her.

Hae Rin glares at Min Jun and picks up the eraser to erase her answer. She rewrote the new answer.

"Auch!" once again her head is tapped.

"Wrong!"

"Don't knock my head! "

Min Jun knock Hae Rin's head again.

"Min Jun! It hurts "

"Do it now!"

Hae Rin rewrote her answer angrily.

"Hae Rin? Are you studying? "

They both look at Jae Min, Dae Ho, and Sora who were sitting in front of them.

"Yes"

"Of course she will study now, look who taught her "

Min Jun and Hae Rin look on.

"You're so lucky there is a boyfriend. When will I get a man like Min Jun? "

"I'm here, right" replied Jae Min while pushing Sora's shoulder.

"You?"

Jae Min nods.

"Hell, no! Even only you live in this world, I will not choose you "

Jae Min slowly pulls Sora's hair.

"What did you just say?"

Sora pulls Jae Min's hair.

"It hurts!"

"Let me go"

"You let me go first"

"Shh !!! Can you guys be quiet? "

They looked at Min Jun who scold them.

"We are in the library. Slow down your voice. You will be expelled later "he continued.

"Yes. The other students already reprimanded them as well, but still the same -" Hae Rin said and looks at Min Jun.

Suddenly, Min Jun put a finger to his lips. Hae Rin is silent.

"You shut up and continue to answer that question"

Hae Rin pushes Min Jun's finger away and turned towards her exercise book. She is embarrassed when Min Jun treats her like that in front of the three of them.

"I think we have to go to another table. Leave them both here. "Dae Ho stand up and left Hae Rin and Min Jun.

"Let's go, Jae Min"

"Eh! Where are you going?" Hae Rin asked when they left her.

Sora just waves and left. Hae Rin looks at Min Jun.

"What? I didn't tell them to leave"

"Did I tell you, you the one who told them to go?"

"So why are you looking at me?"

Hae Rin is silent and refocused on her exercise book. She is reprimanded by Min Jun. I don't even know the easy question, how do I will answer the quiz in a moment?

"Can you answer that question?"

Hae Rin is silent.

"I'll help you"

He takes a pencil from Hae Rin's hand and pulls Hae Rin's exercise book from her.

"Look here"

Hae Rin looks at her exercise book.

"You should do this ..."

Hae Rin lost her focus. She looks at every inch of Min Jun's face. His eyes round and shining. His nose is pointed. His face is indeed the characteristic of a woman's dream man. Hae Rin's eyes shifted to Min Jun's lips. Her memory of Min Jun kissing her appeared in her head. She felt embarrassed.

"Did you hear what I said?"

Hae Rin realizes that Min Jun was looking at her.

"What?" she asked back.

Min Jun once again knocks Hae Rin's head.

"You are out of focus! I'll teach once again. Listen and pay attention "

Hae Rin nods.

-

"All right. Time is up. Please pass the paper to the front person "

Hae Rin is still busy writing her answer. She just ignores her friend who was busy collecting answer sheets. Suddenly Sir. Kwang snatches up her answer sheet.

"Sir. I'm not done yet "

"I have given you an hour. That time is enough to solve a simple question like this "Sir Kwang leave her.

Hae Rin felt like crying. Why can I fall asleep just now? Her forehead is tapped on the table slowly several times. Finally, she just put her forehead on the table.

"Why am I asleep?"

She is in that state for a long time. Then, her desk is knocked on. She looks from the edge. Min Jun?

"Come on, let's go!"

Hae Rin raises her head. Suddenly, Min Jun touches her forehead. Hae Rin stiffened.

"Why did you hit your forehead? It must hurt "he rubs Hae Rin's red forehead.

Since when has he been so romantic like this?

"Let's go!"

Hae Rin pushes his hand away. She packs her things in an attempt to cover up her embarrassment.

"Min Jun!"

Min Jun turns away. Areum approaches them both.

"Come on! Let's go-to cafe "

Hae Rin just ignores them both. Since when is she like this with Areum? Areum is not like before. She was always with me but now she seems more to Min Jun.

"Café?"

"Yes! You already promised me, right? "

Hae Rin put on her bag and looks at them.

"Hae Rin. How your quiz? Can you solve that?" Areum asked while hugging Hae Rin's arm as always.

"Not. I fell asleep "

Areum is shocked and slaps Hae Rin's shoulder slowly.

"Asleep? You know we have a quiz and you can sleep? " Areum is angry.

"I fell asleep. I opened the question and I felt dizzy. When I wake up, there were only 20 minutes left, " she said.

"In that case, why don't you come with us to the café?" Areum suggested.

Hae Rin looks at Min Jun.

"Didn't bother you two?"

Min Jun looks at her strangely. Hae Rin really thinks that Min Jun likes Areum.

"Bother us? Of course no"

Suddenly Hae Rin's phone vibrated in her pocket. She takes her cell phone out of her pocket and saw an unknown number calling her.

"Wait a moment"

Hae Rin accepts the call and moves away from the two of them.

"Hello"

"Hello. Is this Hae Rin? "

Hae Rin is silent. Who is this? Sounds familiar.

"Hae Rin?"

"Yes, I'm Hae Rin. Who is this? "

"This is Aunty Lee, Min Jun's mother. Do you remember me? "

Hae Rin is shocked. She glanced at Min Jun. Coincidentally, Min Jun looked at her. Hae Rin immediately turns her head.

"Can we meet?"

"Meet me?"

"Yes. I'll meet you at school "

"School?"

Is she want me to bring Min Jun?

"I want to give you your school uniform. So let's meet for a while, shall we? "

Hae Rin is silent for a moment.

"All right, aunty"

"I'll wait for you here"

"Okay"

"Thank you, Hae Rin.

"You're welcome"

Mrs. Lee turns off the call. Hae Rin sighs. Hae Rin thinks Mrs. Lee would definitely want to meet Min Jun. But, Min Jun has made a promise to Areum. Hae Rin approaches them.

"Guys, I'm sorry. I can't join you "

Min Jun is a little upset.

"Why? Aren't you working at night today? "

"Indeed. But "

Hae Rin thinks of a good reason to avoid following them.

"But, Young Ji called and told me to replace her"

Areum just nods her head.

"In that case, Min Jun and I are the only ones to go"

Hae Rin nods slowly. She is disappointed to let them both go together.

"I'll go first!" Hae Rin asks herself to leave.

"Be careful, Hae Rin"

Hae Rin nods and left them both.

-

Hae Rin approaches Mrs. Lee who was waiting in front of the school fence. She felt that everyone was starting to look at her. Hae Rin feels embarrassed because Mrs. Lee looks very different from before. She dressed quite stylishly and brought a fancy car with her.

"Hae Rin!" she hugs Hae Rin.

Hae Rin just smiles at Mrs. Lee.

"Are you alone?" she asked, looking around.

"Yes"

Hae Rin notices that Mrs. Lee is looking for her son.

"Min Jun is not there. He went to hang out with his friend "

Mrs. Lee looks at Hae Rin. She smiled bitterly.

"Do you want to see Min Jun?" Hae Rin asked carefully.

"Is he already go?" Mrs. Lee asked again.

"When I went out, he is still in the classroom"

Mrs. Lee just nods. Mrs. Lee realizes that she was as sad immediately smiling. She opens his car door and pulls out a paper bag.

"Here," she handed to Hae Rin.

Hae Rin takes it.

"That's your school uniform. Thank you for lending it to me "

Hae Rin smiles.

"You're welcome"

"What if we go eat together?" suggested Mrs. Lee.

"Eat?"

"Yes. Come on! "

-

"Min Jun, what wrong with you?"

Min Jun looks at Hae Rin's figure leaving them.

"Are you okay?" Areum asked again.

Min Jun looks at her.

"I'm sorry, Areum"

Areum is shocked.

"Apologize? For what?" Areum asked.

"I think I can't go to the cafe with you. Actually, Hae Rin is jealous when we are both together "

Areum laughs a little.

"Jealous? I know she is just joking "

Min Jun is silent.

"After all, you two are just pretending as a couple. So, why is she must to jealous? "

Min Jun is silent again.

"Let's go. We are late "

"I am sorry. I have to go see Hae Rin "said Min Jun and immediately run away from Areum.

He runs out of the classroom and looks for Hae Rin. He sure Hae Rin is still not far from here.

"Where did she go?"

Then, he runs out of school and he saw Hae Rin and a woman. His run slowed when he realizes the woman was his mother. He stops. His fists were clenched.

"So you met that woman?"

He was angry when he saw Mrs. Lee. He wants to go but he remembers his promise to Hae Rin. He remembered that he had promised yesterday to give his mother a chance to atone for her wrongdoing. Min Jun sighed harshly and turns back to approach Hae Rin and Mrs. Lee.

"Hae Rin"

They both turned away. Hae Rin is shocked while Mrs. Lee smiled.

"Min Jun, do you want to hang out with your friends?" Mrs. Lee asked.

Min Jun silence himself. He sure Hae Rin tells Mrs. Lee that he is going out with Areum.

"Here" Mrs. Lee handed a few pieces of money to Min Jun.

Min Jun looks at the money she handed out.

"What is this?"

Mrs. Lee smiles.

"Pocket money. You want to go fun, right? Take it "

Min Jun is silent. Hae Rin starts to feel awkward when they were both silents like that.

"I don't want that money"

Mrs. Lee's smile died. Hae Rin feels a little disappointed with Min Jun.

"But, you can use that money to buy me food"

Mrs. Lee and Hae Rin were shocked.

"We go eat and you can use the money to pay for my food"

Mrs. Lee smiles.

"Can you?" Min Jun looks at her.

Mrs. Lee nods quickly.

"Let's go. Get in the car "

Mrs. Lee is so excited she immediately got into her car. Min Jun looks at Hae Rin who was smiling at him.

"Why are you smiling?"

"You kept your promise to me"

Min Jun is silent.

"Thank you," said Hae Rin.

Min Jun just ignored her and got into the car. Hae Rin is excited to immediately follow Min Jun. She was happy to see Min Jun choose to sit in the front with Mrs. Lee. Finally, he accepted to give a chance to his mom.
