Script 17: Thrown Words

Yunjin was the one who dismissed them that day. The president couldn't even get a word out. She was too stunned. She never expected anyone to go against her like this.

In front of everyone, too.

It was humiliating.

She can't believe that it was Huh Yunjin out of everyone who humiliated her.

The other members seemed to be impressed with what Yunjin did, and it made the president's blood boil.

But the president would surely not let this pass.

—

As soon as Chaewon's back hit the bed inside the infirmary, she fell asleep. It didn't even take a minute; she passed out immediately.

Her friends waited outside as they were told that they couldn't stay inside the infirmary. There was a rule that a group of students could not stay inside the infirmary unless they were the ones who needed assistance.

Only one of them can enter and take care of Chaewon.

It was Minju who went in and waited by Chaewon's side. Their friend group chat would be blowing up her phone, and the girl would just let her phone vibrate in her pocket.

She was too worried about Chaewon to even check her own phone.

She didn't know what happened back there, but she knew she was thankful that Yunjin had suddenly stepped in. Minju just isn't sure about the confrontation... She feels like Yunjin shouldn't have done that in front of everyone, but at the same time, she weirdly feels relieved that Yunjin put the president in her place.

Minju thinks about what Chaewon would say when she wakes up, though Yunjin doesn't particularly defend Chaewon. She defended everyone who has experienced the same harsh treatment from the president.

A few minutes passed by, and Minju was still there, frozen in her spot, watching Chaewon sleep. She watches as Chaewon slowly inhales and exhales as she hears nothing else but the blow of the air from the air conditioning inside the room.

She hears the door open, and she feels a slight tap on her shoulder. Minju immediately looked up and made eye contact with Yunjin.

"Yunjin," Minju whispers, and the girl offers her a gentle smile.

"I can take care of her. You can leave now."

Minju blinked. She was hesitant. She turned and looked back at Chaewon, who was still sleeping, before turning back towards Yunjin. "Are you sure? I think it's better if I'm the one who she wakes up to."

Yunjin quietly huffs, "You're tired, Minju. I know that you know that she always looks for you, and you're the only person she looks for when she's in trouble, but this time it's okay. You can go and wait outside, or you can go home if you want."

Yunjin could tell that Minju was still hesitating. She thinks maybe she should just leave and let Minju handle it. She pats Minju's back after a while before turning around and leaving, but she feels a hand pull her arm.

She turns, and she sees Minju's worried expression, "You can stay here."

Yunjin smiles, "Are you sure?"

"Call me when she wakes up." Minju was already standing, and Yunjin didn't need Minju to assure her that she was sure of her decision.

"I will." Yunjin watches as Minju slowly leaves the room. She shoots Yunjin another look before finally closing the door.

Yunjin sighs as she sits down on the chair that Minju occupied earlier.

Chaewon was still sleeping. Her brows weren't furrowed, and she looked peaceful.
