I'm here to pick you up (4)

When suddenly I felt a sharp pain hit my head!  I rubbed my head and stood up shouting.

          "Who the hell hit my head!"  I shouted, still a little disoriented from waking up suddenly.

          "Ahem, will the great Miss Bai Ae-Ri stand outside in the hallway as punishment for sleeping in my class!"  The teacher was so angry the vein on his temple is throbbing.

          "But you just came in and haven't started the lessons yet!  So technically I'm not sleeping in your class! This is unfair!"  I complained to the teacher.

           "Oh is it?  Then meet me after class!  I'll share with you some words of wisdom!  Now, stand in the hallway!" The teacher shouted angrily.

         I pouted but still followed his order.  Before I left the door, I caught a glimpse of Ji Hoon's face and I can see he was laughing!  Oh, the embarrassment! I crouch on the floor covering my reddened face. How can I face him now!

          Good thing he doesn't know that I have a crush on him or it will be embarrassing more than ever!  Oh, my fragile highschooler heart! Please survive this! I hope this will blow over soon and no one will keep reminding me of this incident!

          While I was praying that I heard the door open so I immediately stood up straight.  I saw the teacher glanced at me checking if I was slacking off. He just 'humpf' then close the door again.  I leaned back against the wall and stared at my feet. I bet this will be a looong day.

          I can hear the lecture but it was soo boring, I'm starting to get sleepy.  I leaned my head on the wall then close my eyes for a bit. I can feel my consciousness drifting to sleep when I felt my legs give in!  I quickly opened my eyes trying to at least avoid hitting my head on the floor, realizing that it's too late I just closed my eyes shut, waiting for the pain.  When suddenly, I felt that there was someone that grabbed me!

          I can feel a pair of sturdy arms embracing me.  When I opened my eyes, I stared at a pair of twinkling eyes looking down at me.  His fluffy hair almost covering them and his sweet shy gummy smile directed at me, he is like Prince Charming coming to the rescue!

          Being this close I can see his lashes fluttering when he blinks.  Oh, how I wish I have long lashes like him! Suddenly realizing he was hugging me and we are in the hallway, someone might come and see us and that will start a bad rumor!  Knowing how popular he was, his stalker fans will kill me!

          "Um, Sunbae?  Can you please let go of her now?  She is starting to get embarrassed."  Someone said.

          I was so startled that I jumped out of fright and Sunbae released his hold of me.  He just smiled and kinda looked embarrassed as well when he realized he was holding me for too long.

          "Next time don't sleep in the hallway.  It could be dangerous. Good thing I was here."  He smiled at me and winks.

          I could feel my heart go 'kyuun!' from that wink attack of his!  No wonder this sunbae is rumored to be a lady killer! With that charming smile and handsome face, any girl will fall in love with him!

          I was still staring at sunbae in a daze when my vision suddenly turned dark!  "Thanks for the help Hyung but can you please spare her?" I heard Ji Hoon said.  He was the one that covered my eyes from appreciating the candy in front of me.

          "Aw!  Our Ji Hoonie is sooo cute!  Okay, I will not mess with her!"  I heard sunbae said then I can hear footsteps walking away!  I grabbed Ji Hoon's hand away from my eyes and tried to look at prince sunbae but Ji Hoon was blocking my view!

          "Yah!  Quit blocking my view!"  I hissed at him. I thought I was taller than him but I guess not!  Too bad I wasn't able to see prince sunbae anymore, so sad.

          "What's so good about him?"  Ji Hoon suddenly asks as if sulking.  

          "Well, he is like Prince Charming don't you think?" I said and looked at him.  I may have a crush on Ji Hoon, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate beautiful and handsome men when I see one!

          "By the way, shouldn't you be going back inside?  Why are you out here in the first place?" I curiously asked him.  What is he doing out here? He's one of the best students in the class so he should be inside listening and answering the teacher's questions.

          "The teacher caught me zoning out looking outside the window.  He made me stand outside here as well." He said, looking embarrassed.  

          I put my arm on his shoulders and smiled at him.  "Our Ji Hoonie does slack off every once in a while, eh?"  I teased him and rubbed his head. Ah, the benefits of being friends.  I can touch him all I want without raising any suspicions! I thought gleefully.

          "Yah!  Stop messing my hair!"  He said loudly and pushed my hands away.

          Suddenly the door opened and the teacher saw us goofing around!  He was so furious he made us kneel on the floor! Ji Hoon shot a glare at me and I made a pitiful face for him to forgive me.  His glare softens as if forgiving me, and I smiled and winked at him as if saying thanks.

          "Stay kneeling there until classes are over and meet me at the teacher's lounge!  BOTH of you!" He shot another glare at us and then slammed the door shut!

          We looked at each other and can't help laughing.  But we tried to tone it down so that the teacher won't hear us.

          After that, the teacher gave us an earful of sermons and even lectured me about being a bad influence on a good student such as Ji Hoon!  I just had my head lowered while I let him rant his heart out. He let me go and had Ji Hoon left behind. I stayed behind the door waiting for Ji Hoon to come out.
