PART 5

"Says the one constantly staring at him," Hyein said.

I nudged her under the table and reached into my bag to grab my lunch.

I started fumbling around my bag but I couldn't find my lunch and I realised I forgot it at home.

"Haerin? Why aren't you eating?" Danielle said.

"I-I forgot my lunch at home," I said, sulking.

Suddenly, Cheol slid his lunchbox over.

"You can have the rest of that," He said, handing me his chopsticks.

"Oooouuu," Everyone on the table quietly but collectively teased.

"Cheol, how old are you?" Y/n asked.

"Thirteen, 14 in 9 days," he answered.

Everyone turned to look at one another and at me.

"How come you're in our class instead of Hyein's?" Minji said.

"No idea. Probably because they think I'll attack people in Hyein's year and not people older than me." He said.

"What got you expelled?" Danielle asked.

"Violence," he said.

We were about to dig in deeper when the bell rang.

"Back to classes!" The loudspeaker announced.

Hyein's POV
Seeing Haerin and Cheol interact like that made me kind of jealous.

But I decided to think nothing of it and let them be.

I separated from the others to get to my class and sat down.

Classes would always go normally for me, no one would really bother me.

Until now.

An older girl and her group of friends came in with a donation box and started taking money from people.

When they got to me, I told them I don't bring money to school, she clearly had bad intentions.

"What are you talking about? Of course you carry money!" She said. "Come on, we haven't got all day."

"I told you I'm not giving you any mone-" before I could finish, one of the girls slapped me.

"Do you know who Hansol-nim is? Do you know who her parents are?!" Another girl said.

"No, and I don't care!" I answered.

"That's it, come to the back of the school with us," they said as they started pulling me.

"What do you think you're doing? Get off me!" I said, struggling.

They managed to drag me to the incineration plant, where there was no one around.

"You think you have authority?" The leader said, kicking me down. "Teach her a lesson. And aim for her face, it pisses me off."

"You won't get away with-" were my last words before they started beating me into submission.

I was hopeless. No one was coming to save me.

Y/n's POV
I was just happy the bullies were gone.

I turned to look at Cheol and found that he wasn't sleeping, only staring out the window.

"What's so interesting it interferes with your slumber?" I joked, getting up to look out the window.

I saw Hyein getting beaten up by a group of girls.

"Guys!" I yelled. "We have to go help her!"

They rushed over and took a quick glance out the window before we ran out to help her.

When we got there, Minji was pissed.

"HEY! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" She shouted.

There were about 10 of them and 5 of us.

"Great," the leader said. "Squash them all,"

They all rushed towards us and I managed to stop one of them.

I checked to see how the others were doing, and it wasn't great.

Haerin was already on the floor but Hanni and Minji seemed to be having no problems.

I went to help Dani get them off of Haerin.

We were able to fend all of them off and went to help Hyein, but we were stopped.

The leader swung at Minji, and Minji collapsed.

The leader seemed to know what she was doing.

She fought the rest of us off like we were nothing.

When she got to me, I was able to hold up for a second but got beaten.

Her friends were starting to recover and get up.

"Get Y/n," the leader ordered. "They're a feisty one."

They were about to make sure I never walked again, when Cheol appeared out of no where.

"Who are you?" The leader said. "Doesn't matter, you'll die anyways,"

Cheol ran through them with no difficulty.

"What the.." the leader said.

"Last warning," Cheol said to her coldly.

"Be careful Cheol!" Hanni warned

She charged at Cheol, she was quick but Cheol was faster and punched her in the throat, ending it in an instant.

Cheol came to help me up and we helped the rest of the girls up.

He bowed to me for some reason and left.

"Do they know me?" I thought. "I have to find out."

We went to help Hyein. Her face was all bruised and bleeding.

"Hyein! Can you hear us?" Dani said.

"She needs to get to a hospital," Minji said.
