Script 17: Thrown Words

Nothing about her screams "constructive criticism." She just brings people down and doesn't bring them up.

"I don't think we should be scared of her. She's just a student like us." Yunjin shrugs, and Minju sighs.

"It isn't easy like that. The president thinks she has authority over everyone... which is kind of true, but she flaunts it in front of everyone's faces."

"She's an asshole, and she always seems to have it out for everyone. Chaewon doesn't-"

"Look, Yunjin," Minju suddenly cuts her off. "Chaewon unnie doesn't want any of us to get involved. She has told us countless times not to do anything. Do you think we haven't thought about the way the president treats Chaewon unnie and the others? We all are just thinking the same damn thing. So, please... just let this one go. Chaewon unnie would be mad if we intervened."

Before Yunjin could say anything else, they heard a loud thud from the stage outside, and the president started shouting even louder.

Panicked, everyone stood up from their seats. They were alarmed because of the loud thud that they heard.

Yunjin didn't waste time and immediately ran out from backstage.

Everyone ran out after her almost immediately.

And the scene that greeted them made Yunjin's blood boil.

Chaewon was on the floor, crying. She had tripped, and the president didn't even look like she cared. She's going on and on about how Chaewon is falling off.

How Chaewon can't handle being in the industry if she was this weak. How Chaewon wasn't good enough if she was going to act all tired and unenthusiastic.

It was all pure bullshit.

Yunjin clenched her jaw as she heard the president's hurtful words.

"Chaewon!" Sunghoon called out, and Minju was quick to run up the stage before kneeling down and holding the older girl close to her.

"What are you all doing out here? Didn't I tell everyone to wait backstage!?" The president shouts.

Yunjin takes a deep breath. She's not going to let this one pass at all. She doesn't care if Minju tells them that Chaewon doesn't want them to intervene.

Chaewon is on the stage, crying her eyes out. In need of a break, in need of sleep. She doesn't deserve any more of this.

"Can you please shut your mouth for one fucking second?" She finally snapped.

Her voice was loud and intimidating. It startled everyone, and it even startled the president.

They all turned and looked at Yunjin. She was standing there, almost towering over the president with how much confidence she had.

Everyone had gone silent.

"You keep shouting. You keep spewing out nonsense and words that don't even fucking make sense. Are you hearing yourself? Do you think before you open your mouth? Do you even know what you're saying?"

The president was frozen. Eyes wide and pupils shaking. She looked around as if she was asking for help, but no one looked like they were up to back her up.

Sunghoon and the others finally approached both Minju and Chaewon on the stage, checking if Chaewon was alright.

Sieun and Sakura brought Chaewon water, almost even spilling it with how panicked they were.

Yunjin snapped her fingers in front of the president's face, shocking everyone. "Are you fucking listening?"

The president blinked and looked Yunjin straight in the eyes. "I am..." she mumbles.
