Chapter 8

I went to the cafeteria without bringing the box with me.

As soon as I arrived, Pinky invited me to join her and the girls for lunch.

"Hey, Minkyung! How's the tutor?" Pinky asked while wiggling her eyebrows. "What tutor?" Somi furrowed her eyebrows.

"Baejin! He came to my house to ask for her address. Cute, right?" Pinky grinned teasingly.

"Wait, so he went to your house just to get her address? That's crazy! He never ever talked to you, though!" Sejeong said, her eyes were wide open.

"I know right!" Pinky squealed. "Um, guys. It's no big deal, really. He just wanted to help me and my mark is improving so it's a good sign!" I grinned while other rolled their eyes. "Yeah, sure." Sejeong added.

I went back to the locker room the get my textbooks but to my surprise, the box of cookies went missing.

I searched for it everywhere but I still couldn't find it. I decided to walk to the classroom and ask the others.

"Have you seen a box full of cookies?" I asked Jaemin. He furrowed his eyebrows but then smiled, "You keep asking me about desserts. Perhaps, you want to ask me out on a date?" with that, he wiggled his eyebrows.

I scoffed, "You wish. You're not helping at all!" I slammed his desk lightly as a joke and proceeded to the teacher's table in front of our class.

I glared at Jaemin who was still laughing from his own joke. "Class! Attention please!" I said. Nobody paid attention to me except for Jaemin. Others just turned their heads around for a few seconds and then went back to do whatever they were doing.

I sighed but continued anyway, "Have anyone seen a box full of cookies?"

Just then, a girl named Heejin turned around and asked , "I'm studying here. And you're disturbing me. Is that box really important?"

I got taken aback, "Oh no! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to disturb you. And nope, the box is not important. Not at all!" I said while waving my hand.

She tsked and went back to studying. Then, I heard a desk being slammed loudly and that made me turn towards Baejin. I didn't even notice he was here the whole time.

He ran out of class and the whole class was gasping dramatically.

Did I disturb him too? What was he doing? Sleeping?

After about 10 minutes, the teacher came in.

He was asking some questions but nobody seemed to know the answers and decided to just tell some random and false answers. Everytime a teacher ask a question, the person who always answers the questions correctly is Bae Jinyoung. But he's not in class so nobody dared to answer anything correctly.

The teacher sighed, "How I wish Bae Jinyoung isn't sick."

"Baejin is sick?" the class president asked. "Yeah, poor boy. The nurse said he stayed up last night. Probably studying. But who knows." the teacher shrugged and continued in with the lesson.

Baejin didn't come back to class and he didn't come for the tutor either. I sighed, feeling bad for no reason.

The next day, I came to school late but I still didn't see any signs of Baejin. He didn't come to school on that day either.

I kept on spacing out in class and the day seemed to be moving so quickly.

During recess time, I found a small white box inside my locker.

It's light. As if there's nothing inside of it.

I opened the box and to my surprise, there's only a paper that had a number 10 written on it.
