you took a deep breath while slowly opened your eyes to the bright light in the infirmary. the first thing you did was checking your left to see if he's still there.
empty. he went away when you were asleep. you guessed you were sleeping too long. then you checked your phone's lockscreen to confirm the time. you got 2 hours left before school ends.
" i should probably join the class.. " you whispered to yourself while fixing your hair. you walked to the door but before you could left, a girl suddenly pushed your shoulders back in the empty room.
your body leaned back, almost stumbled on the floor but you got hold of your body and stand up.
" hey ! " you raised your deep sounded voice while pushing her shoulder back in response. if she could push, you can too cause don't like to be treated like a thing. from whoever it is.
" uhh?! rude! " she shouted when you pushed her body back.
your mind travelled to the furthest scenario you could think of. you tried to figure out what issue you had with her that gave her the audacity to look disgusted and rude to you.
Luna crossed her arms followed by two of her friends at her back.
" what do you want? " since she was staring at you with that mocking eyes you decided to ask first unpleasantly.
" just in case you don't know, Han Jisung, i booked him first. you got no business to get close to him. don't even try. " Luna stated arrogantly with and eyerolls while checking her invisible nails.
you scoffed after listening to her warn.
" who said im trying to get close to him? do you feel threatened when he suddenly talk to me? because you know, everybody knows i don't talk to people unless they talk to me first— " you paused your sentence.
" —so you thought he might like me, and not you? " you finished your bullets of questions that only meant to piss her off. and you know she's mad when you noticed Luna's cheek started to burn and redden.
" i don't know but you might miss the memo that i am the only girl that may get his attention. okay? everybody can like him but i am the only perfect girl existed that deserves him! " she paused after delivered one point.
" there's no way Han likes you. low profile, quiet girl. you're not his taste. pftt— " Luna chuckled before she took one step closer to you to brush your hair, playing psycho.
" but if he likes me i can't help it . " you shoot your last shot with a smirk and yes, Luna took that personally as she furrowed her eyebrow and raised her hand up high to give you a slap.
but before she could swing her hand everyone heard the door creaked open and turned around to see who's coming. Luna quickly took her hand down.
Jisung stepped in the infirmary not knowing he just saved you from getting slap by Luna. he was taken aback when suddenly 4 people were standing in front of the entrance. he scanned everyone for you.
" Sungie? what are you doing here–? " Luna showed her big wide smile to gain his attention. but Jisung just tilted his head to you to signal Luna that he's coming for you. good thing he replied her question.
" you okay? " Jisung looked at you in the eyes when you said you're fine. he then grabbed your wrist gently before leading you out from the room and you followed him willingly.
the tail of Luna's eyes locked to his hand and your hand stitched together. the anger in her eyes were very visible until you and he completely disappeared from the place. she needed to release her anger somewhere.
meanwhile Jisung took you to the nearby empty laboratory and silently closing the door.
" aren't we supposed to be in class now? " you asked calmly while observing his movements. he sat on the stool following by you.
" Mr. Kim is absent. there's no substitute i don't know why. no one's in charge.. " he explained to you while handing you a sandwich wrapped in a paper wrapping. you looked at him, confused.
" you haven't eaten lunch yet. " he said. you looked at the sandwich and him and you started to feel very very weird. this is not normal.
" why do you care so much about me? " you asked him while taking the sandwich from his hand. the wrapping paper slowly folded down to reveal the inside.
" if i don't, who else will? " he replied while you chuckled hearing his answer. it's not like you need someone to take care of you anyways. he's being dramatic.
" why don't you have a girlfriend yet? a lot of people likes you. " you finally asked him the question that have been lingering in your mind all day. he's not the type to be single. not in this school. he's well admired. Luna just being over dramatic because she's the prettiest amongst all of his admirers.
" who? " Jisung's brow furrowed means that he don't really like talking about people that likes him.
" Luna? " you suggested.
" no, i want a better person than Luna. "
" Luna is the prettiest. "
" i don't want better looks. i don't care about looks. "
" then what do you— " Jisung suddenly made you hold your sentence when he extended his hand closer to your face. you were stoned. your eyes locked to his face as he was focusing on the corner of your mouth.
he wiped off the food that sticked on the corner of your mouth after you bite the large sandwich. you could feel his pointy finger holding your chin while his thumb was stroking your lip. the then took the tissue and wipe his finger.
" thanks. " you said monotonously as you were still shocked by his actions.
