Shin Ji-yoon walked into the detention room, feeling a mixture of unease and curiosity. As she entered, her eyes fell upon her ex-boyfriend before averting to Jungwon, the guy who had gotten us into this mess. Deciding to avoid any unnecessary drama, she chose to sit beside Jungwon, mainly because it was the only unoccupied seat available. As I placed my backpack on my desk, opening it to receive my books, I looked over to Jungwon, his sleeping figure making me what to wake him up for flicking me in the forehead earlier. As I sat down, I kicked his foot causing his eyes to shoot open. He looked over at me, eyes wide. I stifled a laugh before turning away to open my books.
"What did you do that for?" Jungwon whispered, trying to stay quiet so the teacher doesn't hear him.
"That's for waking me up earlier," I whispered back as a smirk crept onto my lips, proud of what I did. After that, I continued to study.
Jungwon, ever persistent, tried to catch her attention, but she intentionally ignored him. It wasn't that she was mad at him; in fact, she was flustered by the fact that he had stood up for her when her ex was teasing her. The tension in the room seemed to stretch out endlessly, making her slightly bored. She couldn't help but tap her foot against the ground and fiddle with her fingers, trying to distract herself from the situation at hand.
Suddenly, she felt a gentle tap on her shoulder, causing her to turn to the side. It was Jungwon, attempting to strike up a conversation. His raised eyebrows indicated that he was seeking permission to engage with her. Sighing in annoyance at his childish antics, she whispered to him, asking what he wanted. His response was simple: "I'm bored." She couldn't help but retort, reminding him that he was the one who had gotten them into this mess in the first place. If only he had ignored her ex's provocations.
Aware of the need to remain quiet in order to avoid getting caught by the teacher, they both kept their voices low. Despite this, Jungwon continued to tease her flirtatiously, which gradually started to irritate her. "I'm not going to ignore the fact that you got all red when I stood up for you. I'm not going to let you live that down."
"I was red from anger." I gaslighted, Unable to contain my annoyance any longer, I impulsively slapped his knee, causing him to yelp in surprise.
Unfortunately, our attempt to maintain a low profile failed, as the vigilant teacher caught us in the act and scolded us for their disruptive behavior. "I've had enough! We're in detention, and yet you still can't follow the rules. I will not tolerate any more talking in this room!"
"Sorry, miss. We didn't mean to disrupt the class." I sheepishly bowed my head a bit, looking down at my desk before shyly looking up at the angered teacher.
I endured a couple of minutes of uncomfortable silence, the tension in the air almost palpable. However, it didn't take long for Jungwon to break the quietude, as his foot poked mine in an attempt to grab my attention. Irritated by his persistence, I rolled my eyes and swiftly moved my foot away from mine.
Frustrated and feeling the need to defend himself, Jungwon spoke up. "Look, I understand you're upset, but it's not entirely my fault. We both played a part in it," he reasoned, his voice lowered to match the discreet tone of the conversation.
Her eyes narrowed, and she leaned in closer to emphasize her point. "No, I had nothing to do with it! You're the one who acted out and got us caught. Now we have to suffer the consequences," she whispered back, her frustration evident in her voice.
Jungwon's response was quick, attempting to shift the blame. "Okay, I admit I messed up, but you could have stopped me. You knew I was about to do something stupid, yet you didn't try to intervene," he retorted, his eyes searching for any sign of guilt in her expression.
"I thought you were smarter than that!" she whisper-yelled, her disappointment seeping through her words.
A cocky smile played on Jungwon's lips, not entirely meaning the apology he had offered. "I know, and I'm sorry. I got carried away in the moment, and I didn't think about the consequences. But blaming me entirely won't solve anything," he said, attempting to downplay his own actions.
Shin Ji-yoon couldn't believe the audacity of his nonchalant demeanor. "I just can't believe you put us in this situation. We're going to have to deal with the punishment and the disappointment from our teams," she sighed, her worry evident as she considered the consequences they would face, especially from her soccer coach.
The weight of their actions and the impending repercussions hung heavily in the air as they both contemplated the consequences of their impulsive choices.
As I arrived home, fatigued and mentally drained from my time in detention, I slumped onto my bed, releasing a heavy sigh of exhaustion. The day had been excessively long, and I couldn't help but anticipate the impending scolding that awaited me from my soccer coach for the transgression that had led to my detention. Annoyance coursed through my veins as I replayed the events in my mind, reflecting on how I had ended up in this unwanted predicament.
As I arrived home after enduring a long and arduous day at school, the weight of my recent detention hung heavily upon me. Collapsing onto my bed, I released a deep sigh, the physical manifestation of the exhaustion and frustration that coursed through my veins. The knowledge that my soccer coach would undoubtedly scold me for my transgression only added to my mounting sense of annoyance.
I cast my mind back to the events that had led to my detention, replaying them in my head with a mix of regret and resentment. It seemed like a trivial mistake, a momentary lapse in judgment that had spiraled into this undesirable consequence. Yet, here I was, facing the repercussions of my actions.
