"wha-what did you just say?" i asked again, perhaps i heard it wrongly.

"i suggested we get married." he repeated.

"that is what you said right? i thought i heard wro-no, wait. jungkook-sshi, have you lost your mind?" i knew it, i didn't hear it wrongly!

get married? to him?

"i'm perfectly sane." he said. how could he still had that stoic face?

"i'm not trying to say you're abnormal..but marriage? that doesn't make any sense." i scoffed.

"why not? i have a duty and responsibility to my child."

"i told you this baby is not yours. this baby is mine." did he deaf of what? i've repeated this so many time already.

he sighed.

"if you don't have time tonight, please give me a call so we can set up a time to meet. we need to take time too.." yeah i think this is the best for now.

he is just saying whatever crossed his mind at this point!

"where did he go all of a sudden?" wait, isn't that the principal's voice? "i think i saw him being dragged around that corner."

what do i do? that's the principal. is he coming this way?

he already yelled at me this morning during the meeting. if he catches me here..

i froze as soon as our eyes met, making both of screamed in shocked.

"wh-what was that earlier?!" the principal snapped at me.

but before he could see my face clearly, which i believed he did just now, i hid my face on jungkook's chest.

"mr. jeon?" the principal called.

"uh..chaeyoung-sshi?" jungkook called me. i raised my head to look up at him. i laugh awkwardly. what did i just do? this is so freaking embarrassing!

why can't i just stop embarrassing myself?!

"haha, ah, uh, thank you! i almost fell over. so thank you for catching me!" i made up an excuse, bowing my body in front of jungkook.

i have to keep acting if i don't want to be fired today.

"but this isn't dae-han middle school. this is dae-han high school. to get to the middle school, you need to head back to the front gate and take a right.." i kept on rambling useless things. i have no idea what to say!

"miss park?" the principal called me.

"oh, i'm sorry. i didn't see you standing there, sir!" again, another nervous laugh escaped my mouth.

"it seems like this gentleman mistakenly came to dae-han high when he meant to go to dae-han middle school. so i was just showing him where to go." i explained.

"what is this nonsense, miss park?"

"huh?"

did i say something wrong again? as i just let my mouth shut, know nothing what to do, jungkook stand in front of me.

"i apologized, mr. chairman. it seems miss park didn't know who you are and made a mistake. were you planning on visiting the middle school?" the principal asked jungkook.

"no, i wasn't." he replied.

what the..? does jungkook know the principal?

mr. chairman?

wait, but isn't he?

he's the chairman?!

"can you please head up to the office first? i'd like a word with miss park." he's the chairman?! is he going to fire me because of my behavior just now?

"ah, yes, mr. jeon. but do the two of you know each other?"

no..there's no way..no!

i grabbed chaeyoung's hand after the principal asked me that question, "yes, please go up to the office first."

i turned towards her after directing jimin to handle the things with the principal.

after they left, she instantly let go of my hand. i looked at her with her head hanging low and she seemed in a deep thought.

she perhaps thought that she's in trouble after knowing that i'm really the chairman of their school. automatically i'm also the chairman of dae-han foundation.

she perhaps thought that i am going to fire her now? or maybe thinking about the marriage proposal?

but why did she looked so pale? i could see her eyes are getting watery. even after our eyes met, why is she looked at me that way?

she looked so cute, though.

beautiful.

"did you have something you wanted to say?" i asked, after getting cluelessly distracted by her cuteness.

"i need to head back to prepare for my next class." why is she trying so hard to ignore me? she seems so different with the woman i knew. the woman i thought i knew, actually.

"what? but chaeyoung-sshi, we're not done talking yet. i came here to speak with you." i added.

"don't you need to head inside as well? the principal is waiting for you. and i think i have an idea of what you wanted to talk about." why is she a bit moody than earlier?

before i could response, she grabbed my tie, making our faces are so close with each other. one wrong move, and we might kiss.

why is she looked so attractive like this?

why am i blushing so hard?

i gulped, she's so close.

"i'm planning on submitting my letter of resignation before the end of the first period. i can make sure i never appear in front of you ever again, so you better not bring me up to the principal. if i quit, it's because i choose to do so. furthermore, i plan on taking care of doo-jool by myself." she stated clearly. but i couldn't understand on what she said.

what with the resignation letter?

doo-jool?

what is she saying?

i'll be the one to take responsibility.

"are we on the same page now?" i asked.

but then, she let go of my tie and went away.

why did my heart beating so fast?

so, he's really the chairman of our school? that means he's the chairman of dae-han foundation!

this coincidence is too bizarre.

am i going to get fired?

but why does he keeping saying things like he'll take responsibility and suggesting marriage?!

does he think i'm going to try and get money out of him by using this baby as an excuse, so he's trying to nip it in the bud first?

could he have already put a plan into place to fire me?

but this isn't right.

he fell for my clumsy attempt to seduce him and then took the lead himself!

does he expect me to beg? forget that!

i can survive without this job.
