CHAPTER 8

Ga eul's POV

Yet another dreadful day of school. School doesn't seem fun anymore, boring classes, gossiping girls. It sucks. Thoughts ran through my mind until I heard someone call my name.

"Ga eul ah! Over here! Ga eul ah!" A faint voice called, I turned around to find a tall guy wearing specs. He was hiding in a corner after the row of lockers.

"Huh? You are?" Then I looked closely and realised. "Omo! Sunbae, what's wrong with you today?"

"You know you said Jandi likes guys with straight hair? And geeks. Well I can't change my height but-" Jun Pyo said while bending his knees. "So? Does her ideal man look something like that?" He gave an awkward smile.

I laughed. It was so hilarious, the best thing was it happened overnight.

"Sunbae, you like her don't you?" I asked, still laughing.

"Ani, I-" He scratched his head. I waited for his reply but the whole situation was too hilarious i just burst out laughing.

"Sunbae, you got caught. Hahahaha" I said, I played this joke long enough. I decided to be serious now.

"I got caught? Oh yea. I did huh." Jun Pyo sighed. "But by any chance Jandi mentioned about me to you before?" He quickly asked.

"Why not? She loves you to death, it's annoying how your the only topic she can talk about now." I let it out. It was true, ever since school started Jun Pyo had been the only topic we have been talking about?

"Jinja? You're not joking right?" Jun Pyo's face lit up.

"Ani, I joked enough already!" I started laughing again as I stared at his make over.

"Huh? Since when did you jok- Oh! You tricked me didn't you?" Oh my, he's just as slow as Jandi, perfect couple.

"Sunbae, aren't you a little too slow? haha!"

He gave me the . face. "Anyways, is Jandi alright from yesterday?" He added.

"mm, I called her last night, but she decided to rest at home for the day." I casuaully said but I didn't know Jun Pyo planned something right after my sentence.

"Sunbae?" I called as I saw him in deep thoughts. "If there is nothing else, I shall get going!" I turned around and was about to leave.

"Yah, wait. Do you think you can give me Jandi's address? Maybe I can you know, visit her or something?" Jun Pyo asked as he bit his lower lips waiting for my reply.

"I'll think about it."

"Yah! Just give it to me!" He demanded.

"Or else?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Or else, I will kick you out of this school." He finished fiercely.

"Hmm, fine with me." I said as I turned aroudn and walked away. I knew it wasn't going to happen and it wouldn't be the end of this conversation.

"Hey hey, fine, what do you want in exchange for the address?" I thought hard upon hearing that. What do I need? Money? No too shameless, Be my servant? Nah, too mainstream.

"Sunbae, you can send me home after school tommorow." I said. What? I didn't know what I was saying but fine with me cause I don't have to walk home tommorow since I have practice till late.

"That's it? You can't think of anything more creative?" He said in a sarcarstic tone.

"Hmm, That's it? Not creative enough? Okay then forget it, Annyeong!" I smiled and turned away for the third time.

"Heyy yah! Okay fine, Give it to me!" I smirked as I heard him say that.

Yi Jung's POV

I walked across the main hall, hoping to run into her, I didn't know why, I just wanted to see her. But another person caught my sight, this tall guy, he looks so familiar. Jun Pyo?

"Yah! Jun Pyo, whats up with your hair? And that specs haha! You look ridiculous." I started laughing at the sight of him.

"Thanks to Ga eul!" Jun Pyo said. Ga eul? What did she do? "Huh? What did she do?"

"She said that Jandi likes geeks with straight hair. Aish, I will never take her advice again." I burst out laughing. "Yah! why are both your reactions so similiar? She couldn't stop laughing as well just now." Jun Pyo said as he tried to fix his hair.

"Just now? You met her? Where is she?" I didn't know if i sounded desperate but it just came out, like that.

"She was at the lockers, but she went for class already. Why are you looking for her?" Jun PYo questioned. Luckily he didn't find out anything suspicious. Nothing was in the first place.

"Oh, nothing, I wanted to ask if Jandi was okay.. Because of yesterday, I just feel bad." I quickly responded. I tried to sound convincing, but to Jun Pyo, anything could convince him.

"Oh, okay, see you later!" Jun Pyo said.

"Orh, Annyeong." I said and walked towards lecture.

Ga eul's POV
-during mass school lecture-

"So, for this year's mid-term project, we will have a collab between visual arts students and performing arts students. Within this cohort, you are to pair up. Each pair consisting a visual arts and performing arts student. You have to create a performing piece and a art piece by the end of this semester. Hand it in with a report and reflection. It would be fifty percent of your final grade, further instructions will be on the noticeboard." The teacher announced. After the announcement, the whole theatre filled with mummers and chattering. I sat there worrying. I was sure no one wanted to partner me. Jandi was a performing arts student too, there wasn't anyone whom I could think of.

"Hello, do you mind partnering me for the-" "No thanks." I got cut off before I could finish, I really couldn't find anyone. I sighed and headed to the studio to practice. Maybe to set my mind free from the mid-terms, and maybe come up with a dance for the mid-terms. Maybe I should just do it alone.

I finished practice and decided to head to the lockers to get my clothes to change out. I usually just head straight for home but I was so tired I might be to lazy to shower if I just went straight home. I walked down the empty hallway, expecting it to be dark but I saw the light of the pottery studio on.

Maybe there was a pottery student I can ask to partner with! I peeked in to find Yi Jung the only person there. I sighed as I decided to walk away. Oh wait, should I ask him? Should I? But he probably already got a partner right? But it won't harm to try right? I decided to walk in and asked but just as I was about to. It's going to be so awkward if he said no, I walked away again. But I will never know if I don't try right? I paced back and forth in front of the studio. *screech* The door opened.

I turned around to find him staring at me akwardly.

"Annyeong!" He said with a smile after putting down that awkward expression.

"Oh that- Annyeong." I said awkwardly.

"I saw you pacing back and forth, you got something to say?" He asked. Shucks! What was I suppose to say? I'm deciding whether to practice somemore or not? Aish that's not good. I forgot where the toilet was. Say what?

"Do you happen to have a partner already for the mid-term project?" He asked.

"I-" I wanted to say yes and acted cool but who am I kidding. "Isn't it obvious?" I looked away in embarassment.

"Do you want to be my partner?" He said with a smile. That came easy,

"Sure" I was really happy, not because I was partners with him but at least I had a partner.

"You seem excited to be my partner eh?" He smirked.

"Yes indeed I am. I get to see you dance!" I smirked back. That thought already made me laugh but seeing his reaction was even funnier.

"Oh crap." He mummered under his breath. I laughed. "Aish, don't laugh at me!" I laughed harder.

Yi Jung's POV

"Do you want to come in and see some of my Masterpiece?" I wanted to boost my art works but surprisingly she wasn't interested.

"It's okay. I think I might have to go home now, it's getting late. I still have to reach home before dinner." She said. I was abit disappointed but I understand.

"I'll send you home!" I offered. Knowing she will decline it.

"You have to listen to me remember? Kacha." I quickly added before she could say anything. I thought she would protest or something. I was already preparing to carry her to my car again. That thought was quite funny.

"Arraso. Gomawo." Oh, that came easy.

"Er, It's nothing." I said and hurriedly get my things before heading to my car.

The car ride was quite quiet. I decided to say something.

"Yah, who was the one who said we better not talk huh?" I looked over as I said.

"There wasn't anyone in school just now. Anyways, you spoke first!" She argued.

"Hmm, so what are we going to do now? We're partners." I added. I saw her "omo" reaction. I let out I slight laugh.

"Don't worry about those fangirls." I said. I knew that was her worry.

"Ani, I'm not worried." She faked a smile. That insecure girl. Aish.
