I have to admit, Sangeen and Yonsu are my favourite couple. But here is another very sweet and sugary and innocent love story. Enjoy!
"I'm going!"
Tao's shout almost got lost under in the noise they made. Yuna hadn't even heard the ring of the bell over the cheery chaos during their board game. They were all present, even the headmaster, so Yuna wondered who might be at the door. Now that she thought about it, she had never seen another visitor here except for them.
Due to her curiosity, she kept her eyes on the door so that she could follow the events right from the start. Tao-oppa reappeared through the doorway, his face pale, and he kept his back to the wall while he threw wary glances at the woman following him. If Yuna hadn't known better, she would have thought he was afraid of her. But that couldn't be, right? The woman seemed harmless, wearing pure white clothes and carrying a pink parcel in her hands. She was beautiful, although not in the slender and almost ethereal way as Seira, more athletic and outgoing. Still, there should be no reason for Tao to look almost scared.
Something was wrong, at least the atmosphere felt tense since she had arrived. Yuna leaned closer towards Seira to still be able to watch the woman. She didn't know why, perhaps to get a better look, but Ajussi stood right in the way, his back turned to them.
"A scary woman appeared." There was definitely a sigh in Tao's voice as he introduced the visitor. A little late, because by now everyone's eyes rested on her as she confidently stood in the middle of the room.
"Not scary, fiery," the headmaster corrected, which earned him a chuckle from the woman's side. Principal Lee had made his way from the kitchen area towards the visitor and now faced her with one of his brilliant smiles. Yuna exchanged a look with Suyi. Was the headmaster flirting with the woman?
"I came to give you something, and afterward I'm going to leave again," the woman said. Her gaze swept over the adults, and then lingered on Rai for a moment. "That's all I'm here for today."
Her words caused the headmaster's smile to become even brighter, and Yuna felt Seira relax slightly next to her. It seemed like her friends knew that woman, and that there was a history between them. If this mystery didn't unravel while they were here, they would need to ask Seira, Rai, and Regis about it tomorrow at school.
"Do you two feel like we're missing something?" Shinwoo's whispered. For once he had caught onto the weird atmosphere, too. But it seemed as though he hadn't talked quietly enough because he ended up on the receiving end of one very amused glance from the mysterious woman. Yuna frowned as Ajussi again stepped into her view, annoyed to have him in her line of sight.
The woman raised her hands in a slow and deliberate movement, as if she wanted to look as inoffensive as possible. The headmaster reached for the pink package she offered, his eyebrows questioningly raised. Yuna could see a small card tucked on top of the parcel. A Valentine's card. Suyi next to her sighed delightedly, as much of a romantic as Yuna herself.
"Take this as a sign of appreciation. I rather liked our last... conversation."
Yuna noticed the slight pause before the last word and the way the lady's glance had rested on them. Somehow she doubted that "conversation" had been the word the woman had wanted to say, and Yuna blushed.
"She's the headmaster's girlfriend!" Once again Shinwoo's whisper to Ikhan was loud enough for Yuna to hear it clearly. And so did the others. Yuna could see Tao's horror-stricken face. Ajussi had turned around and looked rather pale. Principal Lee's lady friend seemed to unable to choose between laughing and looking aghast.
The headmaster cleared his throat as he read the card. "I think, we should continue our conversation another time. While we have less of an audience."
"I would like that." The woman nodded towards the general direction of the couch, and Yuna saw Rai incline his head slightly from the corner of her eyes. The headmaster's friend turned around and headed for the door. Did she just smirk? A look of pure mischief flashed over the woman's face as she turned around again to face the headmaster. "See you soon, my dear."
With an unrestrained laugh, the woman disappeared from the room, and a few seconds later, Yuna could hear the front door open and close. The chairman's face had lost the brilliant smile, and for the first time, Yuna could see surprise taint his features. She turned her head just in time to see Rai hide a smile behind his teacup.
Okay, jokes aside... you MAY see a love story here, if you squint at it rightly, but well... I rather see the kids misinterpreting things ^^
The scary/fiery woman part: It is an "inside joke" between Franky and the 5th - remember their first fight? Franky called her scary and she replied that she would rather be called fiery. I couldn't resist using it. Thanks to Vapor for helping me find that scene! And for her quick proof-reading. What would I do without you!?
