Chapter 9
Fluttering her heavy eyes open, the first thing she felt was her major headache.
It was as if someone was banging her head with a hammer. Yoon Min groaned lowly in pain before closing her eyes again. The sunrays came inside through the open balcony and fell right on her eyes. Which caused her to pout and turn to the other side. The headache wasn’t decreasing or increasing at all, it kept the same horrible pace.
Somehow, the smell of alcohol was being felt by her sensible nose. She opened her eyes and didn’t bother to go to sleep again. Clutching her eyebrows, now her mind was getting heavier with questions.
What happened last night?
Why did she smell like an alcohol freak?
“Ughhh!” not being able to remember a single thing, she buried her head under the pillow, toes continuously hitting the bed.
After spending the few minutes in silence, she actually remembered some parts of last night. She raised her head and made an O-shaped mouth.
“Aaah~ It was Sung Rin's party. I drank a lot. That's sure, I drank way a lot.”
She slowly sat on the bed, cross legged and let the hair band fall from her hair. Wow, she was clearly reeking of liquor now. The head was heavy and spinning mildly. Yoon Min let out a loud clear groan and began stretching her arms. The cracking of her thin bones could make anyone tell how flexible and healthy she waa. She turned her neck side to side so that the tip of her head reached the shoulders.
While stretching, she began to recall what happened after she passed out. Surely, she didn’t come to her bedroom by herself. She had a guess that Ella was the one who brought her here or else who would?
Glancing here and there often, her eyes fell on the indigo jacket laying right beside her bed. Her eyes widened in surprise as definitely she did not own a man's jacket. Her hand reached the piece of cloth and pulled it on her lap. The jacket looked familiar. As if she saw it somewhere...not too long ago...on someone?
“OH MY--” suddenly, memories from last night began rushing inside her brain as if they were catching a bus. She remembered everything. Everything From First To Last. And to clear the confusion, she did not hold herself from...committing... A Big Mistake!
Flashback
———+———
“Aigoo, so heavy! Ugh! Oh my...Open the door fast!” Seokjin yelled at his useless fairy.
“Right away, Sir.” she opened the door and flew inside.
Seokjin also entered with much struggles to carry a light weighted girl like her inside and searched for the bed. After finding it, he flopped her down on the bed with no care. Then he began panting due to exhaustion. He couldn’t help but to sit beside her bed and take long breathes.
Meanwhile, poor Yoon Min was wiggling on the bed, unable to find comfort in her sleep along with her soft mumbles. Daisy tried to pull the blanket over her body but due to her continuous movements, she was failing every time.
And Daisy was that kind of fairy who won't do a task twice.
“Sir, I give up. You can tug her inside the blanket or just leave her in the cold. All I know is I'm leaving.”
Before Seokjin could raise his head and turn her down, she was already out of anyone’s sight. Boy, that fairy sure knows how to upset someone.
Sighing, he turned his head around to look at the sleeping figure who was kicking the blanket again and again. Her face had a mixed expression of many emotions together in her body. Her eyes were shut tight and hands trying to hold the bed sheets repeatedly. She didn’t look like a girl sleeping peacefully instead she looked like she was fighting with something.
Of course, Seokjin had no idea this girl here faced uncontrollable pain and tears whenever she was near him. Since she was passed out almost, she had no energy to hold back the pain in her dead heart. As a result, she was feeling discomfort as in hurt. She could easily try to hide the pain inside when she was conscious but since she was in a state of unconsciousness, the pain was hitting her whole body mercilessly.
“Is she having a bad dream or something?” he questioned himself and put his hand on her forehead. She had no fever but her temple was surprisingly hot. He pulled his hand and was out of thoughts of what he should do right at this moment. Should he wake her up? Or just let her like that? Or maybe he should hold her hand and whisper he's with her?
Hold on, what? No, that's weird.
He shook his head and looked at her troubled face again. The only thing that came into his brain was to wake her up. He didn’t know if there's anything else he should do.
So he shook her arm lightly. So lightly that even a bee will end up thinking who would wake up by that shake. He shook her with a bit force this time and called her name gently, “Guardian Yoon Min...you should wake up.”
Unexpectedly, she woke up with a burp. Which was so funny that Seokjin couldn’t control his wind-shield laughter and chuckled soundlessly, biting his lips. Yoon Min rubbed her eyes and stared deeply at him.
For a second, Seokjin thought if she was gonna mention a ghost again.
He cleared his throat and said, “I think you were having a nightmare. Sleep, I will go now.”
He got up from her bed, thinking his job was done. He successfully delivered every drunk guardian back to their rooms. He fulfilled his duties as a senior guardian. And that's when, his thoughts got interrupted by a soft hand holding the leather of his jacket.
He got startled and looked back to see Yoon Min holding his jacket with a strong force. Did she want it?
He stared at her weird action, unable to find any solution.
“This is so nice~”
She kept pulling his jacket towards her which caused him to lose his balance and fall on her bed. Now, don't get any wrong intentions as she was only trying to hug the jacket, not him. Seokjin was being very flustered by her stupidity to cross her limits being so drunk. He pushed her away within a second but the next second, she pulled the piece of jacket again and whined,
“I love it~ the scent is so nice~ I want it~~”
“Goodness, Yoon Min! Let me go, will you?” he held her hand and tried to remove it.
She shook her head, eyes half closed and smiled idiotically.
“S-seonbae is so handsome...”
Seokjin couldn’t believe his ears right now. He was pretty shocked too. It was common and boring for him to hear the word handsome coming from everyone’s mouth countless times. But from the bottom of his heart, he never expected her to say it. She looked so serious and ignorant to these type of topics.
He took a long minute to think all these and tried to pull his jacket away from her grip.
She whined even loudly, “Ah, Seonbae! I am upset with you! Give me your jacket or else I won't let you go.”
“Fine, I'll leave it here.”
He immediately took of his jacket and let her pull it to her body. She snuggled her head inside the jacket and smiled genuinely before falling into sleep again. He let out a sigh of relief and got up from her bed quickly. Gosh, if anyone saw them on a bed together, there could be quite a few unnatural rumors.
He covered her body inside the blanket and thought about giving a good night kiss.
Wait, what? NO! What the heck?
He slapped his own cheeks and left the room real quick before anyone could notice him.
Flashback ends

“I MUST BE THE STUPIDIEST CREATION IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE!” Yoon Min yelled at the top of her lungs and buried herself under the cover and pillows.
“STUPID, IDIOT, LOSER, PATHETIC GUARDIAN! HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO FACE HIM?”
“OH NO NO NO NO NO NO...”
“WHY?!”
“AISH I CANNOT BELIVE MYSELF NOW.”
“AM I THAT CARELESS? WHY WASN’T I NAMED A DONKEY? IT FITS ME WELL. I'M GONNA CALL MYSELF A DONKEY NOW.”
“OH MY FREAKING BLISSFUL MERCIFUL WONDERFUL ALMIGHTY! WHY THE HELL DID YOU MAKE ME DO IT?”
“NO NO NO NO WHY HOW CAN I?!”
“I SHOULD JUST DIE. I HAVE NO RIGHT TO LIVE. I AM GONNA DIE.”
“WHY, WHY WHY WHY WHY DID I DO IT?!”
As could be seen, Yoon Min was currently busy cursing herself and doing all sort of self-harm like slapping herself, banging her head on the wall, pulling her hair, punching her eyes all by herself. She was way too embarrassed for what she did. Why the hell did she want his jacket?! It wasn’t even fashionable! And the fact she called him handsome and hugged him for a tiny bit second is THE BIGGEST MISTAKE she did.
No matter what, she was determined on one thing.
That she was never gonna drink again. Never Ever.
--------------------
The morning began with her peaking from behind every pillar and hiding herself from that specific guardian. She hid behind the wall, took a look at the next room if he's there or not, then stepped out to run to the next room. She skipped breakfast today as she wasn’t feeling too good because of the hungover. But she couldn’t
skip his classes, right?
Yoon Min sighed for the 13th time and entered the classroom. She put her backpack on the last bench and pulled out a book to read. Actually to hide her face from him. She had no idea what she will explain to him; if she should apologize for what madness she caused. Of course, she should apologize but will that be enough? As far as she knew, Seokjin wasn’t someone to hold grudges for a long time but the fact she pulled him on the bed, took his indigo jacket forcefully away for God knows why, told him he was handsome aren't tiny facts. If she was in his place, she would've complained to Princess Aereum by now.
Time passed with guardians filling every seat. Her friends also came at the right time, each had the same expression as her, even more. They drunk more than her so they all must be feeling way too bad. Except for brilliant Myeong Jo who had taken care of herself by drinking hungover soup and pretending as if nothing happened. Yoon Min wondered what happened with the pieces of book pages she ate last night.
Beomgyu didn’t look that bad as he was the one who drank the less among them. He made his way towards her and flopped down on the seat beside her. Before he could sit down, Yoon Min pouted and whined, almost complaining to him,
“Beomgyu-ah~I messed up real bad..”
And the next minutes continued with her telling him every single details. She thought he would console her or something but he made her upset by laughing at each sentence. Yoon Min slapped his head from the back and hissed at him for laughing at her like that.
“Yah, is it my fault you created a blunder? Who told you to drink two bottles?” he replied before moving his gaze back to the board.
She sighed and again ran her fingers through her hair, creating a bird nest.
Koushi poked her from behind, “Hey, Yoon Min. How are you feeling?”
Considering the fact Koushi spilled everything to anyone, Yoon Min decided to hide whatever she did from her. She smiled sheepishly and said, “Not good.”
“I know right? I had to bath the stink away from by body.” she raised two of her fingers. “Twice!”
She bathed twice?
Yoon Min simply nodded and looked back to the front.
And the moment she was fearing finally came. After the bell rang, in a few minutes, Seokjin walked inside the classroom, wearing the same expression as always and stood at the centre. The guardians stood up, bowed and sat down monotonously.
Yoon Min was lowering her head as best as she could. She even requested the boy in front of her to cover her by his back. It was a good thing the boy was tall. Beomgyu was finding her actions really amusing, how hard she was trying to hide from him.
Seokjin began his lecture after a few minutes so she was relieved she would be able to avoid him today at least. But she had to return his jacket. How the hell was she gonna do that?
While he continued his lecture, Yoon Min turned her head side to side if anyone was looking at her. She then elbowed Beomgyu as a result he looked at her, also keeping another eye on the handsome teacher.
“Can you return his jacket on behalf of me, please?” she made puppy eyes and even cooed.
His cheeks flushed red seeing her pretty face and nodded automatically.
She squealed in silence and mouthed “Thank You”.
----------------
The class ended after an hour. So every guardian was leaving the class while chatting. Some even made their ways towards his desk to tell him they needed help in understanding some facts. Of course, that wasn’t the real reason. All they wanted was to spend time with their Handsome Heartthrob and glance at his face time to time.
Taking the right opportunity when he wasn’t looking at her direction, Yoon Min packed her bag swiftly and made her steps towards the door. Meanwhile, Beomgyu already reached his desk and put the jacket on it. Seokjin was surprised to find him carrying his jacket.
“Guardian Yoon Min told me to deliver your jacket. She isn’t feeling good.” Beomgyu said monotonously and was about to walk away.
But he was stopped when Seokjn asked him, “W-wait, she was in the class?”
His voice was a bit mixed with excitement as a result the guardians present in the classroom all heard him and looked at him. Including Yoon Min who was right at the door.
Beomgyu replied, “Yeah.”
So Seokjin actually didn’t see her?
“Where is she?”
Of course, Yoon Min knew Beomgyu wouldn’t tell him. And Beomgyu had no intention to tell him as well. But before he could say, “I don't know”; another girl who was standing beside his desk, pointed at the door, right at Yoon Min's back.
“She is about to leave the class, Senior Guardian.”
Curse that girl!
Everything happened in a swift second. Seokjin looked at her and found her standing with her back right at the door, as if she was frozen in spot. She knew she was caught so she turned back and faced him. Before he could say anything, she began rambling,
“SeonbaeI'mTrulySorryForWhateverIDid.IReallyDidn’tMeanAnything.ItWasTheAlcoholTalkingAndActing,NotMe.PleaseForgiveMe!Don'tBeMadAtMe,PrettyPlease.”
And she ran away from the class, creating a huge confusion between the present guardians. Beomgyu chuckled at her rambling and went out of the class to follow her of course.
There stood a confused Seokjin whose brain was still trying to process of whatever happened. At first, he didn’t find her in the class so he thought she may had missed his class intentionally. Turns out, she was actually in the class. And she was about to leave the class without meeting him or seeing him, and she handed the jacket over to someone else to return it to him. Why wasn’t he aware of anything?
“Who said I was mad at you?”
