"What are you doing here?" Is all I can say when I see her.

She limits herself to lift her drink, take a sip and just shrug her shoulders.

"The real question is: what is the perfect Areum doing in a place like this?" She raises her eyebrows and laughs.

I say petrified, and behind us I can hear the man talking on the microphone. I don't pay attention to what he's saying, but when I turn around I see how he presents the boxers, and how they enter the ring.

Jungkook looks around with his eyes, looking for me I suppose, and then he concentrates. The bell rings and they start to fight. His opponent looks to be good at fighting, and he misses a few of Jungkook's hits.

"You should bet for the tattooed one." Amy says and I turn to look at her. "He always wins."

"I know." I respond, conscious that she's seen us together at the front of the school. "I know him."

She nods.

"Is he your boyfriend?"

The question hangs in the air, like a drop of rain, fragile and instantaneous. I just look at her, not knowing how to answer her question clearly. I don't even know what we are, much less will I be able to explain it to someone else.

"That doesn't matter." I say to my surprise. "You shouldn't be here."

If Amy finds out that Hyerin works here, that could cause serious problems. If she tells her friends, the whole school will find out, and my best friends reputation will crash down.

"Believe me when I tell you that I know this place better than you." She takes a drink from her glass. "My brother works here."

"He's a boxer?" I ask with curiosity.

She shakes her head.

"He's kind of like an intern, he's still practicing."

A hand touches my arm and when I turn around, I find Hyerin behind me. She looks at Amy with an annoyed face.

"Your brother doesn't want you here."

I raise an eyebrow.

"You knew she was here?"

"I'm the one who offered her this job." Amy says with a smile on her face. "Jimin told me that he needed someone to work for Namjoon, and I told him that I knew my good friend Rin-Rin needed a bit of extra money."

My eyes open wide, and then I look at Heyrin, who looks at me like a wet puppy.

"I'm sorry, you would've never let me accept this job if you knew it came from her." She says embarrassed.

"She owes me big time, we both know that." Amy adds with a smile. "Either way, she's helped my brother too."

"Jimin is your brother?" I ask confused.

"Of course not!" She laughs. "His name is Yoongi."

Oh my god.

"Impossible." I suddenly let out.

"Do you know him?" She asks.

Do I know him? I kissed him! In fact, he brought me here. He's very sweet, a gentleman and he's very helpful. I would've never thought that he shared the same blood with someone like Amy.

"He's my friend." Hyerin tells her. "And when I tell him that you're here, he'll be very happy."

My best friend's sarcasm hits Amy, who makes a disgraceful gesture.
