AN: So, I guess after almost 2 years of absence I'm going to have to continue this story!
To everyone who had to wait, I'm very sorry. Once stopped, it's hard to pick it up again. With that thought I kept delaying it and in the end I actually didn't think of continuing. But a couple of people sent me messages, asking me to continue. And this is actually the reason I started writing again :)
So I'll try my best to write this story until its end. Once again I'm very sorry for the long wait!
"Oh Ha Ni, get up" Ha Ni turned around and buried her face in Seung Jo's pillow. "Hmrhw d'wannaaa" She mumbled. "Remember we're having a field trip today. At this rate you're – we're gonna be late" Seung Jo said. He was already fully dressed and showered. His bag was already packed and he was actually ready to go. "Do I have to?" Ha Ni moaned as she looked up at him with one eye open. Seung Jo sighed. "Were you planning to keep running away? Those guys won't touch you anymore. And you shouldn't care about what the girls say" Seung Jo said, and he pulled the blanket away. Ha Ni squeaked and rolled on her stomach, wrapping her arms around the pillow.
"No!" She protested. Seung Jo gazed at his watch and clicked his tongue. "Fine then" He bent down and clawed at her sides, making her squeal as he tickled her playfully. "Okay okay!" She laughed and she got from the bed, rubbing her sides and still laughing. "That was easy" He said to himself as the bathroom door closed behind her. It had not been their intention to spend the night together, but as things went it just happened.
For a girl she was – fortunately – pretty fast so soon enough they were outside with the others, waiting for the bus. Seung Jo and the other teachers were counting the students while Ha Ni joined her friends. "And where have you been tonight?" Joo Ri asked playfully. Go Min wiggled her eyebrows and Ha Ni blushed. "Ehm…" She started giggling and the girls laughed. "Guess you made up huh" Go Min said, and she gave her friend a playful punch. "Y-yeah" She said. "Girls!" Seung Jo called, and he pointed at the bus. They nodded quickly and joined the other students.
"Hey, where are we going actually?" Joo Ri asked. Ha Ni shrugged in response and Go Min also shook her head. "I don't know. You should know Ha Ni, Seung Jo is a teacher here. Didn't you talk about today's field trip?" She asked. "Hmm no" Ha Ni said, shaking her head. Joo Ri grinned. "You must have been too busy" She said, and she probed Ha Ni in her side with her elbow. "Come on stop it!" She giggled, and Go Min and Joo Ri laughed. "Lookie lookie, who do we have here?" Their laughter died as they looked at the girl who was sitting in the seat in front of them. It was Min Hee. She sat turned around now and leaned her arms on top of her seat as she gave them a bitchy look. "I never knew Nerd Ha Ni was funny" She said, looking them up and down. Min Hee smirked at their surprised faces and her friends laughed out loud. "I never knew that witches still exist" Go Min said, still looking surprised. Ha Ni smirked and Joo Ri giggled. Min Hee frowned, turned around again and mumbled things to her friends. "What a bitch" Joo Ri mumbled, and Ha Ni nodded.
Meanwhile Seung Jo was sitting in the other bus with his colleagues. The one who caught him with Ha Ni the other night kept staring intensely at him, and it was frustrating him to dead. "Are you trying to kill me with your eyes?" He asked dryly. "But – but –" The poor man stuttered. "In the elevator – you – you –" Seung Jo shook his head and placed his hand on the teacher's shoulder, giving him a pitying look. "Maybe you should've controlled yourself with drinking, Kang Joon. In the elevator you say? Are you seeing things?" He then turned his attention back at the newspaper he was reading. The teacher kept staring at him, then blinked his eyes and shook his head in confusion.
They finally arrived at the destination. The students all got out of the buses and sighs and moans could be heard everywhere. "Now what?" Someone whined. They were at the foot of a mountain, and only nature surrounded them. "No zoo?" "No shopping?" "I thought we were going to see the ocean"
The head teacher frowned and pressed his lips together in frustration. Then he started barking. "You couple of rotten spoiled students!" The volume of his voice shocked and silenced everyone and the teacher looked at them with a satisfied expression. "No girls and boys. No zoo, no shopping and no ocean. Today we will explore some nature and – " He spread his arms " – we will climb this mountain". The students started whining again, but the teacher didn't need to yell again to silence them. Just the look in his eyes made them all go quiet again. "It's good for you. You'll be able to get some good exercise while we explore the beautiful nature of this part of Korea" He said. He looked at the students and decided not to react to their disappointed faces.
"Now, I will lead you guys. The other teachers will be spread among the group, if there's anything wrong please report it to one of them. I'll ring this bell when we're going to have a break" He said, and he ringed a little bell. "Alright let's go!" He started walking and the students unwillingly followed him. "I had hoped for something better. It's too hot for mountain climbing" Joo Ri mumbled. "If I had known I would've worn better shoes" Go Min whined. Ha Ni looked at her sneakers. She was lucky. While they followed the group she looked around to see if she could catch a glimpse of Seung Jo. But he must have been further away from her.
After an hour they were already exhausted and they were happy when the head teacher rang the bell. "Finally!" Joo Ri sighed as she let herself fall in the grass. "It's quite beautiful here though" Go Min said. She had already given up the whining and enjoyed the view. Ha Ni decided to agree. "Yeah" She said with a nod. "If you enjoy the nature and the view it's really nice Joo Ri" She said. "Too bad about the heat though" Joo Ri continued whining. After the short pause the head teacher roared that they had to start moving again.
"Oh Ha Ni!" Ha Ni stopped walking and looked behind her. Joo Ri and Go Min didn't notice and continued walking. "Min Hee?" She asked. "We have to move on" Ha Ni said with a frown and she wanted to turn away from the bitch again. "But Oh Ha Ni!" Min Hee grabbed her hand and stopped her while the other students all passed them. "Teacher Seung Jo wants to see you. He asked you to come here" She said as she started pulling at her arm. Ha Ni was forced to walk with her while she looked at the group. "But, hey, wait!" She said. "Come on!" Min Hee said, pulling her along.
"Where's Ha Ni?" Seung Jo asked. "Oh Ha Ni?" Go Min asked, and she looked around. "She was with us just now" Joo Ri said. "Seung Jo looked back at the front of the group where he just came from. "Maybe she had to fix her shoelace or something. She'll catch up soon" Go Min said. Seung Jo nodded and decided to stand still and wait for her.
"But we have to keep moving or we'll lose the group" Ha Ni said. She finally managed to pull her arm free and Min Hee turned around. "Seung Jo said it was important" She said with a serious face. "He's a teacher. You'll catch up anyway" She said. "Oh, yeah right" Ha Ni said with a nod. "Where is he?" She asked as she continued walking. Min Hee smirked. "He said he would wait down there. Hurry!" She said, and she headed back for the group. Ha Ni swallowed and walked in the direction she had pointed. What would he want? Naughty thoughts flashed through her head and she blushed and giggled against her will. She took one more step and stood by a tree at the edge of the mountain. "Seung Jo?" She asked. She gazed down and noticed they were pretty high already. "Seung Jo?" She asked again. "Seung J –" Before she could react two strong hands gave her a push. She lost her balance and fell down the cliff, too late to even scream.
Seung Jo frowned when the last students passed him. Did he miss her perhaps? He looked at the group once again. She was wearing a bright red T-shirt. He couldn't have missed her. Or maybe she was walking somewhere in the front with Soon Chun? He shrugged and went after the group again. He then stopped walking after all. A weird feeling in his stomach told him to go back. He sighed and turned back. The weird feeling didn't feel good.
