Chapter 174 - Into a trap (1/2)

Standing in front of the Principal's room, Lee Jinhee turned the knob and pushed open the door. Sucking in the warm air, Jinhee mustered up her courage.

Walking into the room confidently whilst supporting herself on the crutches, Lee Soohyun looked straight at the sight before her. The Principal and her dorm teacher, Lee Aera, stood before her.

Bowing at them politely, Lee Jinhee walked further into the room. The Principal and the dorm teacher seemed to be surprised after seeing her injured just as Jinhee had expected.

Jinhee informed Taehyun beforehand to not mention anything to the school for the librarian, Kim Hyojoo, for Jinhee was afraid either she would not be present. Since the librarian was being irresponsible, she needed to suffer the consequences as well.

"You got injured?" The Principal asked.

Standing in front of the Principal's desk, Lee Jinhee nodded and said, "It happened last Monday."

"You can sit down," The Principal voiced out.

Lee Jinhee nodded and took the seat in front of him. Under the gazes of the principal and librarian, Lee Jinhee felt nervousness grown within her.

"What is the matter, Principal?" Jinhee asked.

"On Monday, you have not showed up in the dorm room, and even if you have gotten injured, you should have informed about it beforehand. However, you decided to not contact the dorm for days before the school had to contact your parents?"

"About that, can you possibly call the librarian here, Principal?" Lee Jinhee asked politely.

"The librarian? Kim Hyojoo? What does she have to do with this?" The Principal inquired.

"I can explain this to you when she comes, Principal," Jinhee voiced out.

The Principal said, "Alright then. I'll order for her to come here."

"Can I come in, Principal?"

Knocks on the door were heard, and Lee Jinhee could easily guess who it could be. Revising the plan she had inside of her mind, Lee Jinhee forced out a confident expression.

"You may," The Principal voiced out in a stern tone.

The door to the library opened, and Jinhee could hear the sound of footsteps as the librarian stepped in. The librarian bowed respectfully at the Principal.

As the Kim Hyojoo stood up straight, she asked, "Did you need me for anything, Principal?"

"Student Lee Jinhee requested for your presence. Student Lee Jinhee, now what do you have to say?" The Principal stated whilst staring at Lee Jinhee strictly.
