A Second Chance

chapter six

We finally arrived to the cafeteria and got our food trays, we sat down at our table.

Seung Ho was walking with his new friends. "Hey, Seung Ho" Seung Ho looked at some kid at a table "did she find you?" "What?" He replied confused. "Kim Ji Hyun" "oh yeah, she came looking for you this earlier."

That's when Seung Ho remembered seeing me in the halls. "Ah, yeah.." Seung Ho walked away "do you know why she went looking for you?" Bong Joon asked "no idea," Seung Ho took a seat at a table and saw us.

I was laughing cheerfully with Ae Cha and Ha Joon.

"I'll be right back," Seung Ho got up and walked up to us, "and then she was telling me..." Ae Cha trailed off, "huh?" I slowly looked behind me, and flinched.

Seung Ho..? What does he want!?

"People been saying you've been looking for me?" Ha Joon looked from him to me. "Why would she be looking for you?" Ha Joon spoke up, Seung Ho looked at Ha Joon "I'm also trying to figure that out" he looked back at me. I gulped.

"So?" "I uh I..."

Damn it! I can't say it now! People would think something is up between us, especially not in front of Ha Joon!

"Finals!"  "I-I've heard... you topped your final exams even while being home schooled. And... I had some... questions!" I lied "questions about the finals?" He questioned, I nodded.

"You could've asked me, Ji Hyun" Jin pointed "n-no. It HAD to be Seung Ho" Ha Joon's eyes saddened, I noticed people were staring "what questions?" "Number," I said out of nowhere "excuse me? Ji Hyun hoobae you're confusing me."

"Give me your number. So I can send you the questions" I smiled nervously, Seung Ho had so much confusion on his face. "Alright," he agreed and grabbed my phone, "hey!" He dialed his number in.

"Is that all?" Seung Ho asked "no!" I grabbed his hand and pulled him out the cafeteria.

I took him to my home room, Seung Ho pulled his hand away. "What's with you, Ji Hyun?" Seung Ho asked aggressively, "I..." "you what?"

Why does this feel like some love confession?

"Just wanted to give you this back!" I pulled out his coat, Seung Ho looked at me, "was this it?" "What do you mean?" "Is this why you went looking for me?" I nodded yes "we both saw each other. You could've—" I cut him off.

"No," "no?" I nodded my head no. "Why?" "I saw her" I looked at my feet "saw who? Who is 'her?'" Seung Ho raised my head up, "Kang Hana," his eyes widened a little.

"You recognized her?" I nodded yes "oh..." "Seung Ho" "hm?" "Do you love her? Do you wanna have HER children?" I blurted out of no where, Seung Ho took a step back.

"Woah, where's all this—" I interrupted him again "tell me the truth," my eyes started getting watery. Seung Ho looked away, and stayed quiet, my lips trembled. "So you do? You don't want OUR kids?!" "Hey! Be quiet! Someone could hear you!" Seung Ho demanded.

I pushed Seung Ho. Seung Ho tripped over himself and tripped into a desk, hurting his wrist.

"Maybe take this chance and become a better guy for your kid, or kids! And for that stupid bitch!" I pushed the coat into his chest and tried walking off, Seung Ho grabbed my wrist.

"Let go... of me!" I threw a punch but he caught it and pulled me in. "I know you're not the brightest person, Ji Hyun. But I want..." my eyes started to widened "I want—" the bell rang, which scared me. I pulled my wrist away and tripped.

"Ji Hyun!" "Shut up!" I got up and ran out of the room, Seung Ho picked up his coat from the floor, "all I was going to say was I want her to stop asking dumb questions."
