SIGNAL

INTRO-J-LINE ver.

"Mina, what would the products be of this reaction?" The teacher asked with a smug expression, as if she knew Mina had no idea what was going on.

"I-I... Um, it would be..." Mina's voice faded as she tried to figure out the answer to no avail.

Please just leave me alone.

The teacher gave a short nod and walked back to the front of the classroom, then shaking her head in confusion, leaving Mina relieved.

Wait. I didn't even say that out loud.

Mina's eye widened in shock, with the girl herself overwhelmed.

"What's happening to me?" She mumbled, studying her hands as if they held the answer.

"What was that Mina? Do you have a question?"

"N-no it's fine, sorry."

Stop looking at me.

Any students who had been peering her way immediately snapped their heads towards the front of the classroom. Letting out a shaky breath, Mina gathered her things, stood up and walked quickly toward the door, knowing that she needed to get out.

She wouldn't be able to stay in that room much longer.

"And Miss Myoui, where do you think you're going?"

The teacher gave Mina a glare, motioning for her to return to her seat.

Just let me go.

"Off you go then."

Speechless, Mina left the classroom with a sudden burst of speed. As she rushed through the hallways, she realised she had no idea where she could go.

She couldn't go back to Sana and Momo's place, unless she planned to break in, and there was no way Mina would go back to her class after walking out.

So instead she made her way to her own house, praying that luck was on her side and that her parents had gone to work; she really did not fancy any stray interactions with them.

As she pushed open the door to the building she hadn't stepped foot in for a week, she immediately grimaced at the messy state the house was in, the floor littered with shattered glass bottles and small, suspicious-looking bags.

Home sweet home.

Sunmi hopped out of what she called 'the recruitment van' and walked towards the school that Mina had left minutes ago, whilst her close friend, Yubin, followed.

"You remember the plan right?" Sunmi asked, a flash of anxiety showing on her face.

Yubin gave her a light shove and chuckled. "Of course I do. We'll get it done, easy. Don't sweat it."

"Being overconfident isn't a good thing."

"Shut up and stop stressing, it'll be fine."

The two entered the building, walking through the hallways in an attempt to find the room they were looking for.

"Ah!" Sunmi pointed towards a door. "This is their class. Go do your thing. You know what she looks like right?"
