"Do you want to meet the other students before the teacher comes?"

Yerim asked as I looked up at her and shrugged.

"No point, the teacher might be here at any moment."

I answered and Yerim nodded.

"But why is there such little students?" I questioned, counting the number of students that are in the room.

There were only 15 of them, including me and it seems like they were doing their own thing. Some were chatting and some were putting on makeup, but they didn't seem to take quite any notice of the 'new girl' for some reasons.

"And why are they so quiet?" I asked as Yerim fiddled with her hair, glancing over at them.

"Well, they're not normally like this, but I think they're just worried for tomorrow's event." Yerim guessed and I frowned.

"But tomorrow is Halloween. Why would they be worried? Is a party after all." I noted.

"True." She slowly agreed and I blinked at her.

"Is something wrong?" I asked and she shakes her head with a reassuring smile. "Just something that happens in the past. Nothing really,"

"Are you sure?" I quizzed and she nodded.

"You've also been acting like you're worried for tomorrow too," I added and she bit her lip.

Not letting her answer, I again shot her with another question that was completely off-topic.

"Did you get punished because of the warning you gave me?" I questioned and her eyes went wide.

"N-No! Of c-course not! I-I got punished because he just wanted to have s-sex! You know!" She stuttered nervously, glancing at someone that was in front of her but I stood focus on her.

I open my mouth to ask another question but immediately shut myself up when Jungkook gave me a piercing glare.

"Can't you see that you're making her uncomfortable?" He scoffed. "Sheesh, so many questions. What's there to be curious about?" He asked, sitting in an arrogant position.

My face scrunched up in disgust as I let out a breath before answering his question.

"Is good to be curious because it helps you with many things in life. According to science and research, it helps us remain vigilant and gain knowledge about our constantly changing environment. It also gives us more positive emotions and lower levels of anxiety. More satisfaction with life and greater psychological well-being. It is also-"

"Okay, wait," Jungkook said, with a hand raised to tell me to stop. "I didn't ask you to give me a full explanation of why it's good to be curious. Did I?"

"You asked why there is to be curious about," I stated and he nodded.

"Exactly. Not why is it good to be curious." He said, rolling his eyes at me but a small smile was curved on his lips.

I opened my mouth to protest when a teacher came walking in, his footsteps thumping loudly on the floor, stealing everyone's attention from what they were doing before. He bowed politely at us and went over to the front desk.

I was about to greet him but stopped when I properly saw who he was.

Wearing a well-fitted black suit, along with a blue and red necktie, he had a well-shaven beard. He had a sort of chiselled and stern face but sort of chubby at the same time. With brilliant black eyes and a charming smile, he could easily lighten the mood of the room. But something about him was not right...

Deep inside, my heart started pounding at an increasingly rapid pace, wanting to jump out of my chest at any rate. Sweat trickled down my forehead and I shuddered. My legs were quite fidgety and I lightly shake them.

This person... or teacher or whatever... I've seen him somewhere before. Not in my dreams or nightmares, not in my previous schools, not in the shops or supermarkets, not anywhere. But in the hospital... right after I was born.

It may seem absurd for remembering something years ago and when I was just born but I got a knack for remembering things that most people don't.

But even though that was ages ago, I could still remember who this person is.

This person has given me a feeling of repugnance. This person was a monster and a devil reborn. This person has left my mum and had let her years of distress, anxiety, and pain.

This person was my father.

What was he doing here!? What-

I was snapped back into reality when someone beside elbowed me. And it was none other than Jungkook.

I glared at him but he didn't seem to notice and lean over towards me until I could feel his breath on my ear. To balanced himself, he placed a hand on my shoulder and I was surprised that he wasn't aware that he was 'touching' me.

"Do you know who that is?" He asked but didn't let me answer. "Is the principal. Remember what I told you? He's my father so be a good girl for me okay?" He said, slightly pointing at the man who was fixing his tie and my eyes went wide.

Instead of answering him, I was speechless at the information he just told me. So he's the principal of this school huh?

And even worse, does this means that Jungkook is my big brother now? Tch, no way. He looks nothing like him!! The only thing those two have in common is their arrogant attitude.

"Good morning everyone!" He greeted cheerfully in a hearty voice. "Before we start the lessons, I will be discussing about tomorrow's event! Now, my son, Jungkook, and his other friends have been going to each dorm, telling everyone about the event. Hopefully, they didn't break in and scared you to death. That would be horrible wouldn't it?" He asked and the students nodded in agreement.

"This year's Halloween challenge is to dress in the craziest costumes! It can be utterly eccentric or extremely adorable! And this year, the teacher will be on the lookout for the best costumes so please shine yourself for you might win the award!" He shouted with so much joy.

"To those who forgot, the Halloween party is always held in the assembly hall. It starts around 5 am till midnight. Of course, you can come later than 5 but don't forget, first come, first serves! But don't worry! There would be enough amount of food for everyone!" He exclaimed blissfully, making me frowned in confound.

Definitely not the type of principal I expected.

With a sudden change, his face formed into a serious and stern face and his voice went deeper.

"Before I make my way out, I will ensure that there won't be any disruption during the party. So please enjoy yourself and eat as much food as you want." He reassured us and I frowned once again as he quickly gave us a quick bow and headed off, leaving me in thoughts.

What does he mean by disruptions?
