029: Caught In The Act

***

Mr. Oh had barely managed to take the first class of the hour without getting distracted. Throughout the lecture, Hazel had an ever-present smile. He could have avoided it by staring elsewhere. But no, he was tempted to look at her. Or more like, she made it inevitable. She rested her chin on both plams and blinked severely at him and smiled. Having had the reputation of a strict teacher, she was supposed to be sent out of the class for such behaviour. But who was he kidding? He could never do that and she knew it all too well.

The smile was directed straight at him. That made him feel...weird because they haven't been on talking terms with each after he had yelled. It had been a week since they spoke properly. During the tutions, he would refrain from talking about anything personal. She too had maintained a distant behaviour. But today was different. He narrowed his eyes at her when he saw her pouting at him. Anyone else in his place would have lost their mind.

Gathering her thoughts, Hazel made futile attempts to concentrate in Mr. Oh's class. Her absentminded smile was not because her exams got over or for coming second in class. It was because of the comical yet heart fluttering event that had happened yesterday night.

"Bring the books to the cabin," he told her.

"What's going on?" he asked indignantly, sitting on the chair.

"Looks like you didn't check the message that I sent you." She smirked while keeping the books on the desk.

Mr. Sehun wore a confused look.
"Will that explain the reason for the smile you had during my lecture?"

"Why not find out yourself ?" She shrugged confidently. "Just a minute," she excused herself and closed the cabin door.

"Why are you closing the door ?"

"Trust me. You'll thank me for doing this." She came and stood beside him.

"Alright, it better explain the reason for your smile during the lecture," he warned, maintaining a safe distance from her.

He opened one of the cabinets and fished for his mobile phone.
As he swiped through the chatlist, "Here," she said pointing to the voicenote, "yes...that's the one."

Once the recording started to play, his calm face showed signs of worry. His forehead dripped with cold sweat and he looked at her with parted lips. "You haven't shared this to anyone else right?" he questioned.

"I wouldn't do that," she frowned at him.

The unexpected had happened and it played on like a loop in Hazel's mind.

She was fast asleep but the phone beside her rang loudly in depths of the night. She was frightened to death when it read : Mr. Oh Sehun.

The time was already 1:00. She quickly attended the call with a hello.
