Forbidden Kiss

Chapter Three

Oh Ha Ni's POV

Everyone in class shuffled to get into their seats as Mr. Baek walked into the classroom. Faint whispers and laughter could be heard as I saw Mr. Baek turn around to start homeroom.

"Alright, I'm taking attendance and after that I have something to announce," Mr. Baek said.

I turned to Ju-Ri and Min-Ah as they both looked at me with concern.

"Yah, why are you staring at me like that?" I whined.

"Are you okay?" Min-Ah asked.

"Y-yeah, why would you ask that?"

"Omo, it's just that you have been staring off into space for a while now," Ju-Ri said.

"Could it be that you hear about Mr. Baek?" Min-Ah asked.

"N-no! Of course not!" I whispered.

"Ha Ni-ah, we're not stupid. We see you look at him in class and watch him during lunch. We know you like him," Ju-Ri teased.

Was it really that obvious?

"Yah! Be quiet while I'm taking attendance," Mr. Baek yelled at us.

After Mr. Baek called a few more names, the door to his classroom swung open.

A girl with long brownish-orange hair walked in. She smiled at us as she walked over to the front of the classroom.

"Hello," She greeted.

Who could she be?
Mr. Baek walked over to her and sighed, "Why are you here?"

She turned to him and looked back at us.

"Hi everyone! I am Eun Gi-Hye. Nice to meet you! I have just transferred to Mr. Baek's homeroom and period one math class," She said.

Everyone turned to stare at her as the whispered about Mr. Baek and Gi-Hye.

"Alright, take your seat Gi-Hye and everyone else quit talking. I have an announcement to make," Mr. Baek said.

Everyone quieted down as Mr. Baek sighed.

"The school has arranged a special school overnight trip for seniors at a hot spring hotel. Please take these papers and give them back to me tomorrow so you'll be able to go."

The class squealed as they grabbed the papers Mr. Baek was handing out.

"Seung Jo-ah, um, I mean, Mr. Baek, when are we leaving?" Gi-Hye asked.

Mr. Baek snapped his head to look at her with wide eyes open. Why did Gi-Hye call him by his first name?!

"Ah, um, we'll be leaving the day after tomorrow. Now, the bell for the first class will be ringing soon. Gather your things," He stated.

"No way! I can't believe she transferred to our homeroom!" A girl scowled.

I looked over at Gi-Hye, she was sitting at her desk looking at Mr. Baek twirling her hair. All of a sudden, she stopped looking at him and turned to face me. I quickly looked away, but I could tell she already saw me. She sighed, getting up from her seat and making her way over towards me.

"Hi, creepy much?" She said walking over to me.

"Um, what? Sorry I was just spacing out...," I replied.

"Uh-huh, well, I've seen you staring at me. Could you please stop? I know what people around here have been saying about Mr. Baek and I."

I nodded quickly.

"Thank you…," She trailed off, searching for a name.

"Oh Ha Ni," I said.

"Ah. Oh Ha Ni. I have also noticed something else you have been staring at. Mr. Baek."

I looked at her, "W-what? You've noticed…"

"Omo! I was right!"

Her expression changed from happy and carefree to serious as she spoke again, "Stay out of my way. If you could do that, then we can be friends!"

I looked at her and nodded as math class begun.

(A/N: Time skip to day of the class trip)

It was finally time! I was so excited. After giving Mr. Baek my forms yesterday, I already started to plan what I was going to pack.

I lugged my suitcases from my room at my current home, my father still looking for another place to move to. No such luck there. Everything has already been sold.

I met up with Ju-Ri and Min-ah at the front of my house as I said goodbye to my father who was crying.

"Dad, seriously! I'll be back soon, the trip is only a week long," I whined.

"Alright, alright," He smiled, wiping the tears off his face.

He waved goodbye and walked inside the house. I turned to Ju-Ri and Min-Ah as we all squealed.

"Let's go," Min-Ah smiled as we started walking to school.

"I've watched dramas that went like this. We go on a class trip and meet people there. Get boyfriends," Ju-Ri sighed dreamily.

"In your dreams," Min-Ah rolled her eyes playfully.

"Yah!" I laughed as Ju-Ri lightly slapped Min-Ah's shoulder.

"Omo! I just realized something! Ha Ni-ah, this is your chance to get closer to Mr. Baek, and you can possibly confess!" Ju-Ri said, eyes wide.

I looked at her, my eyes widened as well.

"No, I can't. Gi-Hye told me to stay away from him, probably because they are dating," I said sadly.

"Ha Ni-ah, like that cold Mr. Baek would accept a confession from a girl like her," Min-Ah stated.

"Then does that mean he'll reject me, too?" I asked her.

"Probably not," Ju-Ri said.

"It's likely," Min-Ah said as Ju-Ri glared at her.

"Just try and get closer to him over the trip. For your happiness," Ju-Ri said dramatically.

I nodded as we walked to the front of the school where all the seniors were waiting. I saw Mr. Baek talking to some boys and Gi-Hye, who was following him around.

"Alright, everyone, listen up!" Mr. Baek clapped his hands together.

He continued, "We need everyone to form into groups of four. These people will be your roommates, so choose wisely."

I hung onto Ju-Ri and Min-Ah as we smiled together, wondering who could be the fourth person. But our question was answered when Gi-Hye walked over to us.

"Hi girls! Can I be your fourth roommate?" She asked.

"Sorry, we already-," Ju-Ri started before I covered her mouth.

"Sure!" I smiled.

She smiled back at me as Mr. Baek continued.

"Now, everyone, there will be teachers assigned to each group. This group is assigned Ms. Ah, you guys Mr. Lee, you Mr. Cheong…"

He continued on and on until he stopped at our group.

"You guys will be assigned to me."

My eyes popped out of my head as my friends squealed. Gi-Hye smirked as all the other girls groaned.

"Of course, he's assigned to the roommate his 'girlfriend' is in," I heard a girl whisper.

All of a sudden three buses pulled up to the school lot. Mr. Baek looked at the buses and back to us.

"Alright, the buses are here. Everyone stick with your group and board the vehicles please. Girls, stay there and wait for me," Mr. Baek said, eyeing us.
