"Mrs. Bossy wanted us to get some money from some kid and beat him up. I don't want to be here as much as you, but we have no choice. This is so boring.."

"I feel you. What does she even want from that kid anyway? He's literally 15."

"Not sure, but I know what she stole some of his money and he tried to report her to the police about scamming."

"Pfft, such a stupid kid. He should've known better than to not mess with her. He'll be easy."

"Yeah, definit- Wait. You hearing this?"

"Hear what?"

"Shit! Someone's coming. Get in, quick!"

We heard some chicks enter the bathroom all giggly and happy like some fucking idiots. We looked through a peephole just to see who was there and we got absolutely petrified.

"*whisper* Is that Kim fucking Yoohyeon? The boss' ex side bitch that went against us a few years ago??"

"*whisper* Fuck, I think it is. And who's that hottie with her? Could she be her new girlfriend?

"*whisper* Imagine if it was. Bossy would absolutely love to see this."

"*whisper* Wait hold on, I think I have an idea..."

12:30 PM / KYH

It was lunch time and I noticed a few weird stares all over me and Minji as we were walking to sit next to Bora, Siyeon and Handong. This time Dami was sitting with us as well.

The moment we sat, Dami questionably looked at me and Minji. I awkwardly smiled and started eating my food while Minji was looking around and noticed almost everyone was staring at our group. She turned towards us and secretly pointed behind her.

"You guys know what's up with everyone? They're staring at us as if we are some celebrities."

"Oh but you are~"

We heard Dami answer and she pretended as if she didn't say anything. I noticed Handong feeling a bit nervous as well. She definitely knows something. I looked at Minji and saw that she was looking at Bora and Siyeon. They were sitting next to eachother but didn't utter a single word. It was worse than we thought..

I was going to say something to soothe the mood, but I noticed Minji ate her glass noodles, carrots and beef, but didn't eat her perilla leaves. I took her perilla leaves and gave her my carrots instead. We both smiled at eachother and heard everyone making comments about that. I noticed Minji was getting impatient and was about to lash out on everyone, but I stopped her on time.

"Calm down, there's no point in getting mad."

"They're staring at us as if we're some psychopaths, just what exactly is wrong with everyo-"

Out of nowhere, Bora loudly gasped and startled us all. We all curiously asked her what was wrong and she just looked at me and Minji at the same way as the other students. What is it with everyone today? She showed us a video that was posted 2 hours ago on the school's site, but was deleted. It was me and Minji... in the bathroom??

I was.

Speechless.

I turned to look at Minji and I swear I saw something awfully scary in her eyes. She was clenching her fists and she angrily put her chopsticks down and crossed her arms.
