Chapter 14 (1/1)

Minjoong’s POVIt's new day again at school and I have music class first. I don’t know why but I feel so happy attending this class. Maybe because I have to work with Taemin alone.“Damn it, Minjoong! You have to forget and get over him. He doesn’t deserve it.” I am cursing myself and hitting my head for thinking about him, while I am walking to class.“Do you need help in hitting your head? If you need, I can help. My hands are itchy because I haven’t hit someone for long.” I turn around and find him smirking to me.“Do you think it is a proper way to talk to a woman like this regardless whatever problem you have with her?” I protested back to him in a loud voice.“Well, let me tell you something. You want to make my life miserable by staying with me, but I will make your life miserable instead by choose to stay near me. If you think it is a wise choice of yours, I’ll prove you it is absolutely wrong to meet me again,” He talked to me in an amusing tone, and smirked and then left me.“Bastard. Why do I fall in love with a jerk like him?” I mumbled to myself.When I arrive at the classroom, Mr. Kim does not arrive yet. But what caught my attention is the two love birds, Taemin and Sujin are making out IN CLASS and IN FRONT OF ME!!! My eyes widen by seeing this and I feel like someone stabs me in the heart. No one notices since they are sitting way back of the classroom. Taemin pulls away when he sees me standing dumbfounded. He looks quite surprised and Sujin follows his gaze direction and smirks at me. I really want to go and slap both of them across their beautiful faces. I admit that I feel jealous and hurt but at the same time I also feel disgusted. At least they should know that they are in school and in classroom. Cant they wait until school finish and get themselves a room if they are that eager in doing that thing?I sit down near Jullie. She must be very surprise by my look-like-I’m-burning face, but she says nothing to me. Teacher Kim comes in and the class becomes quiet. Mr. Kim tells us that we are excused from today lecture because he wants to give us sometimes working on our midterm project. We can go to any free training room or to the instrument room or anywhere we find comfortable to work on our composing. He even gives us a permission slip to borrow school instruments. But I don’t have any interest in these things now because I am still calming myself. The class dismisses and everyone is moving out while I am still sitting at my table. Jullie tell me that she goes to the training room with her partner and I cant say anything beside nodding.Suddenly, Taemin comes up to me with Sujin. His arm is wrapping around her waist. I look up at him.“Wait for me in the old instrument room on the third floor. I’m gonna walk my girlfriend to meet up with her partner. I’ll meet you in 20 mins,” he talked and then left. I am speechless. What’s wrong with that guy? He still has the courage to face me even after he knew I saw him making out with that girl? I though at least he has shame because he did pulled back when he saw me looking. But judging by the way he talked to me a moment ago, he has no shame at all.When I arrive at that old instrument room, at which he asked me to meet, I notice that it is the instrument room I had heard the misterious piano play on first day at school.I have waited for him 41mins and 30 seconds already and he still doesn’t show up. In the meantime, I try to play the piano by following what I have learned in class, but I keep playing wrong note.“Your playing is suck. Don’t let other people know that you are studying at our school,” a voice was spoken from behind me. I turn around and see Taemin leaning on the open door.“You are late. It’s more than 50 mins already. Can you at least keep your small promises if you cant keep the big one? And if you cant even keep the small one, don’t make any promise to someone that easily,” I talked to him in angry tone. He was taken aback by my sudden comment.“I’m sorry. The piano that Sujin and her partner are using has some problems with the sound. So I helped checking it for them,” his replied and sounded guilty.“But don’t change the subject. Your playing is suck. What can I expect from you in this project? How am I supposed to get a good score by working with you?” he continued. I sight hopelessly at him. You cant keep up your hope on this guy more than a minute.“So, why don’t you move your ass into the room and do something to prove your genius skill?” I spoke up to him.“Wow, you turn to have such a bad mouth,” he chuckled and shook his head in disbelief.“There are many sides of me that you don’t know about yet, Taemin. Don’t underestimate me,” I walked up to him and whispered in his ear. I can tell he was stunned by my sudden action.“Well, why don’t I play you a piece of music that I have drafted and check it if we can add up something to make it better. I just drafted it shortly and very simple. I don’t know if it works,” he talked to me, but I can tell he felt uncomfortable by listening to his tone. He must feel nervous because I approached him closely early.He starts to play his piece softly. I close my eyes and listen to it carefully and notice that this piece is the same piece that I heard from this room on my first day at school. Now I know who that mysterious player is. It’s him. He played his own-composed piece, no wonder why I didn’t recognize it.His playing finished. It’s quite short, but it is so beautiful. I mean he is not a musician, but it is very genius of him to be able to compose it. He looks up to me and asks.“What do you think about it?” He looks very nervous waiting for my reply.“Hmm…it’s okay, but like you said it’s short and flat,” I told him flatly, trying to hide my admiration.“It’s just okay?” He asked.I nod and continue. “You need to change and add some notes to make it more attractive and longer. Maybe we should make a piece that is mixed up of piano and another instrument.”“What instrument? How am I supposed to play two instruments at the same time?”“Well, who asked you to play alone? Our group still has me,”“You? What can I expect from you after hearing you played piano earlier?’ He scoffed at me.I say nothing, but get up to take the guitar that is laying at one of the corner. I blow off the dirt that covers it and sit down. I start playing his piece and he keep staring at me in surprise. I smile at him and he seems taken aback by my smile and turns away.“What do you think? I may not know how to play high class instruments like you, but at least I have some specialties,” I said to him and attracted his attention back.“Well, maybe we can follow your plan,” he replied shortly. I smile at his reaction.Then, we start to play the music together. He plays piano and I play guitar. We are quick to catch the right tone and we can play harmoniously. We discussed and put new notes to the piece to make it longer. We smiled, laughed, and mocked each other happily. We don’t even notice that it’s already lunch time until our phones ring. Sujin called him and Minho called me to have lunch. Both of them said that they would come and take us.We stay quiet and avoid each other gaze awkwardly until Sujin and Minho arrive. When Sujin arrives, she wont let the chance that she and Taemin are alone slip, so she kisses him passionately and they are making out in front of me and Minho. My eyes widen again and I shake my head in disbelief and storm out of the room with Minho follows after me.I cant believe these two. What the hell are they thinking of? I start running and crying while Minho is follow and calling after me. He catches up to me and turn me around to face him. Without let him see my face, I hug him so tight and cry in his chest. I think to myself. Why Taemin? Why? Even if he doesn’t love me anymore, he should not hurt me like that. He knows that I still love him, so why he has to do that in front of me again and again? Does he want to hurt me that much? Is it the way that he said he will make my life miserable? You are so cruel Taemin. I surely won’t let you go easily this time. I’m going to get my revenge. I’m going to make you pay me back. I swear in mind to myself.
