Trapped In A Novel As The Breeding Mate For Four Powerful Alphas-Chapter 410: What a wonderful brain he had
The vice principal had already heard enough to judge the situation.
He couldn’t believe students... His students... Were capable of having such evil thoughts.
It was too much.
"All of you," he looked at the cigarette that had fallen from her lips and then at the littered cigarette butts, and frowned even more. "Come to my office right now."
The brute stepped away, feeling me, and I felt I could finally breathe.
I stood up and looked at the frightened expressions on their faces.
They knew they were in big trouble now. So, they did know what they were doing was wrong but decided to do it anyway.
If I hadn’t realized it wasn’t Ki-hoon’s handwriting, and if I hadn’t called the vice principal to accompany me then I would’ve been in big trouble.
I would’ve fallen victim to their selfish act driven by envy and jealousy.
It made me sick but I guess that’s how life works.
These people were bullies with steel for hearts. So even if they do get punished, their anger would only be fueled and they would seek revenge later. They would do something much worse.
So, to avoid that, when the principal asked me what I would like to happen since I was the victim of their act, I told him to expel them from the school and take them to the police since they did such acts deliberately, and I... I probably wasn’t the only one who fell victim to their hatred and envy.
Anyways, that solved things, and Ki-hoon, who found out what had happened after he was finally released from the teacher’s office, hugged me.
It was the first time he was hugging me... And in front of others as well... He was so relieved that I wasn’t hurt that it made me feel slightly guilty for worrying him too much.
But... I was fine.
That was all he needed to know.
After that incident, school life continued normally. What happened to those bullies was enough to pass on a message to anyone who had prior plans to mess with me due to jealousy.
I was protected, they said. And thus, there was peace.
I relocated my seat.
Since one of the people who had tried to get me was his seatmate, he was currently without a seatmate, so he asked me to fill in that spot.
At first, I wanted to refuse since I liked my seat better but then he made an offer.
"It would be great if you sat next to me since that way I can point out what you’re doing wrong in self-study time."
It was a great idea so I bit the bait.
So, from then on, we sat together. But Ki-hoon was doing more of staring at my face than at my studying material.
Even during class.
A teacher noticed him and threw a chalk but, as if he had eyes in his temple, he saw it coming and dodged it, laughing about how the teacher’s aim was off.
This got the entire class cracking up, including the teacher.
She couldn’t even complain about his attitude because he wasn’t being rude and his grades always came out perfect.
No matter how much he was distracted by me in class, he still managed to grasp everything the teacher was teaching and taught it to me better later.
What a wonderful brain he had.
It all went naturally until the day he kissed me.
That day when it was just the two of us in the class and the sun was so warm, penetrating into the classroom in a soft glow, along with a soft breeze blowing through the curtains.
It was the first time he kissed me, and my brain turned off for a moment, but I didn’t hate it.
I already knew he liked me, even if he hadn’t confessed, and I liked him too, so I thought this was nice.
Then, as he pulled away, I saw him blush because he had been shy and then he said,
"I’ll give all my firsts to you, Jo-Pil. Because I like you a lot."
His words were surprising, but for some reason, I felt the same way.
"That... Would be nice." I said but that wasn’t the reaction he wanted.
He grabbed my hand, pressed it on his chest, and said,
"Can you feel how my heart keeps racing?" He asked. "When I’m with you, my heart just doesn’t calm down no matter what I do."
"Is it a disease?" I asked,
"It’s not that." He whined. "You’re the reason my heart keeps racing, Jo-Pil."
I knew it. Because my heart raced the same way but I just wanted to tease him.
I chuckled.
"You like me that much, huh?" I asked.
"Yes, so you have to believe the promise I make you." He said, his face turning serious, like he would cry if I didn’t acknowledge his promise. "I’ll give you all my firsts, just as I gave you my first kiss."
"Are you saying that because you don’t know human nature?" I asked him.
I was a little too serious at that time but I wanted him to understand the weight of his words.
"We’re high schoolers right now, Ki-hoon. There’s still so much to life outside these walls. What if the feelings you feel right now are nothing but a fleeting attraction because we’re so young?" I lowered my eyes. "What if you make that promise now and later, when you get into college, you find someone else you’re attracted to? Your destined mate, perhaps!"
I felt his hand clench around my arm, and I looked up to find a hurt expression on his face.
He felt so hurt hearing me say those words that he couldn’t say a thing in response.
"I... I’m not going to let you down." He said to me, dropping his gaze sadly. "I don’t care who I meet later. I don’t think I’ll ever have these feelings for anyone else in my life, Jo-Pil. You... You’re the only one."
"And what’s the assurance that I won’t fall for someone else later?" I asked and his eyes widened, raising his head.
"You—"
"Right now, I definitely like you with everything I have but these feelings..." I clenched his shirt. "I don’t trust them and I don’t want to hurt you either so... Do not make a promise that either of us could break... I’m begging you."
