The drawing studio filled with their peers quite quickly.
Somin's little incident with Teho had made the older girls in her class either ignore her or whisper conspiratorially whenever they saw her. Everyone had seen the video circulating in the school chat. So, as the group was led in by Ms. Nowak, Somin glanced around nervously.
Just observing the group of girls made Somin anxious and when they chuckled she instantly doubt herself.
Am I paranoid or are they laughing at me?
As their eyes moved from her and the young boy, the senior girls whispered to each other and gathered on the other side of the room.
Somin tried to mask her discomfort by acting unbothered. She forced her shoulders to relax and put on a blank look. Her 'unbothered' came across as tense and stern to everyone else, but Somin couldn't see herself.
She was glad she had chosen a warmer dress that morning. The way it clung to and warmed her aching body helped to ease her mind. The soothing tones of baby blue only added to the feeling. She hoped that at least looking presentable would make her more appealing to them. Her pink hair was neatly brushed and tamed by a light blue headband dotted with a set of small bows, a simple testament about decisions Cholsu had made for her.
She glanced at Junu.
The young boy was alert and turned slightly to her.
"Why are they like this?" he whispered.
"I don't know," Somin answered.
I never did.
