The Path We Take

Chapter 6~~~

I lowered my head I feel like my face is going to melt its so hot why do I keep feeling like he knows everything about me? "I hit it right on the target, Jeon I don't think your heart can take the truth so why don't you just drop it. Tate isn't worth going out and ruining your reputation you have it good in this school keep it that way." I tilted my head and moved a bit closer now warming up to him "Reputation? When did I get one of those? And its not just Tate its all of them, my brothers friend group why does the school treat them the way they do?" He looked towards me like I was stupid and he brushed his hair back and walked towards his bag "Just sit down this is going to take a while." He waved towards me so I sat down a bit worried now and he grabbed a note book and a pen and sat in front of me "Alright little Jeon, this school has three sections understand?" I nodded as I watched him draw "1st group we call them the beggars, 2nd group first class, and finally 3rd group royalty." I got a bit sick hearing that it reminded me of middle school "Pretty messed up huh? Do you want to keep going? You can still not know about this." I shook my head and pointed towards the paper "Continue."

He nodded and wrote a few names "So Royalty the girls have given us names, your group which includes Tate and your brother are Kuk Sool, while the other royalty group which includes me is called Hwa Rang." I nodded understanding it a bit more and he suddenly drew my name in royalty and I raised my eyebrow "I'm royalty?" He nodded and sat back "First girl to make it since Queens but they graduated before you transferred here, CK is your nickname but that's only so the guys can talk about you and none of the girls find out." I scrunched my nose up and he laughed "But why? I don't talk to anyone." He snapped his finger and clapped which made me sit up straight did I get something right? "That's exactly why, two twins transfers here who are well lets just use the word beautiful so you don't get to cocky. One joins Kuk Sool almost immediately because he was already apart of their friend group long before you two came here." I was confused when he said that why don't I know any of this "Wait really?" He poked my forehead "You don't even know about your own brother?" I frowned a bit as I rubbed my forehead I guess I really don't know him "And then there's you, the girl who never spoke and is the top student, guys are to afraid to confess and girl can't help but envy you. To top it off ever since you've been hanging out with Kuk Sool your popularity has risen, now rumors spread about you like wildfire." I messed with my hands that's exactly what I was trying to avoid "First c-" I cut him off as my stomach didn't feel good "I don't want to here anymore, that's horrible." I felt like crying why are people like this? I didn't speak to avoid not to become the center of attention and is that why they wanted me to become friends with them? So they could get more popular? Are they just like Lay? I mean they had no reason to be kind to me and they just instantly accepted me I-I don't understand Are we really family or are they using me for their own benefit?

"Jeon since I gave you information you have to pay me back." I looked towards him, taking myself out of my own head and he stood up "Your brother once mentioned you're a dancer, so from now on during lunch you come down here with me and dance." I lowered my head can I really trust them anymore? Why did they never tell me about this? Did they think they could just fool around with me and then act like I was the one to cause all of it? I bawled up my fist as anger started rising but most of all sadness "Or you know I can tell people about this talk but with a different ending." I looked towards him and he bite his tongue and laughed a bit, but his smile fell when we made eye contact "Hey Jeon don't cry if you hate me that much you don't have to dance with me."

He knelt down in front of me and I whipped at my eyes so I'd stop crying but it didn't work my heart felt broken all those memories and the way Tate made me feel were they all just pretending to like me..? Yugyeom suddenly pulled me into a hug "Hey calm down and breath, you're okay." I took shaky breaths as he rubbed my back "I'm sorry, please don't hate me you never have to talk to me again if you don't want to I understand if you don't.. Just please don't cry because of me or for anyone else.." My tears slowly stopped as I grabbed his blazer "D-Don't leave me.." I buried my head into his shoulder I want to be selfish my heart hurts and I don't know how to heal it "I won't don't worry, if you want me by your side then I'll stay by your side." I felt my chest feel lighter and after a while I was finally able to calm down and I sat down in front of him and messed with my shoes as I pouted my lip.
