dahyun and i sat side by side beside the field and watched the soccer game.

"daniel sunbae even plays soccer well..." dahyun praised.

"they seem to be on different teams, don't they?" she asked.

by the way it looks, daniel and mr. lee are definitely on different teams. even their jerseys are different in colors.

"yeah, seems like it. but why soccer all of a sudden? do they think they're in some teen drama or something?" i asked.

"i heard daniel sunbae asked mr. lee if he wanted to play first."

"why? is he close with mr. lee?"

"hm..mr. lee only goes into second year classes though.."

"then did something happen...?"

"ji-hyo, you really don't know? the reason that daniel sunbae asked him to play a match?" she asked.

"what is it?"

"this match..is just to 'punish'! after you left like that in the morning, daniel sunbae asked if something happened to you, so i gave him all the details. i'm telling you, he suggested the match after what i told him!" dahyun continued to ramble.

what is she saying...?

"what..?"

"you should've seen the look in daniel sunbae's eye. he looked like he was ready to burn someone to a crisp!" she added.

i sighed and said, "you just don't know..he normally looks like.."

i stopped when she interrupted and looked at her weirdly.

"whoa, whoa! wait a minute! oh shizz, i think i just figured it out! i think daniel sunbae...likes you!"

huh?

"whaat?!" i shockingly asked.

"i'm not wrong about these things. i'm sure of it! if it was anyone else, i wouldn't give up on my crush, but i will if it's you!"

what nonsense is she saying?

daniel likes me?

"you know you sound totally crazy right now, didn't you? he's just.."

and again, i stopped when she suddenly stood up and shouted, "wait! ahh, did you see that? that kick from daniel sunbae?!"

i looked towards the field.

the ball was kicked right in mr. lee's face.

"uh..did mr. lee just get hit in the face..?" dahyun asked, she looked a bit startled.

"i think so..." same goes to me.

oh, no. that's gotta be hurt.

-

i continuously rubbed my face after the ball hit me. it is very strong.

it is hard for me to admit, but the kick was very painful.

everyone didn't seem to notice that the ball had hit me when they cheered for victory because they managed to score a goal.

i can feel something dripping out of my nose.

i wiped and there's freaking blood coming out from it.

"oh..are you all right? i thought you'd dodge it. i'm really sorry this t-" before daniel could finish his sentence, i interrupted.

"argh..you're doing this on purpose, aren't you?" i asked, expressing dissatisfaction.

"what? on purpose? why would i?"

"ha..i should've realized when you kept on kicking the ball my way. i just remembered..you're the kid that comes to school with ji-hyo. you're doing this because of her. what do you think you're doing? why are you messing with me?"

who is he to ji-hyo anyway?

i didn't bother his life at all, so why?

does he know all my deeds?

"i have no idea what you're talking about. did you do something wrong to ji-hyo?" he looked away.

huh?

"no? i didn't." i said quickly.

"right? of course not. an asshole that tricks his student into giving him information shouldn't be a teacher."

"what? who are you calling an asshole? me?" i nearly shouted at him.

how dare this kid speaks like that to his teacher?

"why? did that touch a nerve or something?"

this is too much. he is too much.

i grabbed the collar of his shirt and said, "why you little..!!"

but his words stopped my action, "are you sure you want to do this? all the students are staring at us.."

i looked around to see a lot of students are looking towards us weirdly.

no, i shouldn't do this.

i'm a teacher.

"right now, it looks like you're getting mad like a sore loser because you lost the match." daniel added.

yes, he's right.

i quickly let go of him.

"hey, daniel. what's going on?" one of his friends asked.

"haa..it's noth-" i smiled, indicating nothing had happened between me and daniel. but this kid came prepared.

"hey, guys! since mr. lee lost, he said he'll buy us burgers!" he shouted.

huh?

"whaat?!"

"he's the best! from where?!" the student asked.

"he said burger king! everybody, get down here!" daniel suddenly shouted again.

haha, what is he saying?

what? he wants to gather all the kids on the field?!

"i want a combo meal with chicken tenders!"

"please order fast, so we can get the food before lunch is over!"

"yeah, burger king!"

"wow, that's so generous of him."

i laughed awkwardly. looks like i've spent all my money for this month.

-

i walked nervously along the corridor. why am i feeling so uncomfortable at school ever since the news that i'm going to be jungkook's wife spread out?

i hope i do not see any teachers walking by here.

but, guess what? god had better plans.

i accidently met the vice principal. out of all people in school, why him?

"ah, miss park! you're here early! i hope you have a great day!" he suddenly said.

this is what i meant by uncomfortable.

and this is awkward too.

"ah..haha..yes, same to you, mr. bae." i bowed to him.

and when he went away, another teacher came across me and he is none other than mr. han!

this is getting more awkward than before.

"ah, hello! good morning, miss park!" mr. han greeted and bowed to me.

"yes, good morning..."

"i...know it seems like i'm repeating myself, but if i've ever hurt your feelings, i'd like to apologize. i'll be more careful moving forward.."

"ah..sure.."

all teachers acted differently from before and i definitely don't like it.

after that, i quickly walked towards the teacher's office and another uncomfortable and awkward silence welcomed me as soon as i entered.

i sighed.

i knew this would happen but it's so uncomfortable! they're walking on eggshells around me because they thought i'm going to marry the chairman.

there's already been several days of this!

can't they just treat me like normal?

i felt so lonely, i could cry.

i feel as alone as i did when the rumor was going around.

"uh..miss park?" a voice came to me.

i looked to see the owner. jisoo?

"hello. if you have time today, do you want to grab dinner with me?" she asked, smiling sweetly like always.
