"Jangmi."

"What?"

"You're up to something, aren't you?"

Jangmi turned her ball chair to face me, an uninterested look on her face.

"And what makes you say that?" She asked, brow raised.

"Oh, I don't know." I scoffed. "Gut feeling?"

Jangmi stared at me for a good three seconds before shrugging.

"I mean, you're not wrong."

"Wait, I'm not?"

"I had a plan to make you and Jeno a couple of some sort, maybe the mains, maybe not." She explained. "But the auditions showed that very few people can act and since you and Jeno are the best, I had to make you guys the main."

"Wow. Straightforward, as usual." I commented, taking a cute whale plushie from her bed.

"The students were awesome actors back when I was still a student, so you losers broke my expectations." Jangmi stated without making eye contact before pointing at me. "Put Moby Dick down."

"... Cool..." I mumbled, slowly putting the plushie back where it was, then patting it. "But do you seriously have no better way to state that?"

"The only ones who can act properly are you, Jeno, and Jaemin. The rest are decent pieces of shit."

"... I don't know if I should feel honored or offended." I murmured. "Somehow you don't make it sound like a conpliment."

"I'm ninety-five percent sure I am going to yell at you guys tomorrow." Jangmi sighed, rubbing her temples.

"From the top!"

A few small groans were heard while everyone walked back to their positions.

"C'mon! Quit whining!" Jangmi rolled her eyes, her fingers tapping on the armrest of the chair she was sitting on. "It's not my fault you losers can't do your jobs."

"Then I assume you can do better?" I heard Inhye murmur from behind me. Jangmi's lips formed a smirk before she stood up and walked towards Inhye. She brought her hand up, then flicked the female's forehead.

"Rule six. One must not speak freely to the director." She stated. "Rule ten. One must not provoke the director."

"What are you talking about?! Those rules don't exist!" Inhye snapped.

"Rule thirty-five. One must not snap back at the director." Jangmi tilted her head to the side. "And I'll show you I'm better at acting than you are."

Jangmi turned on her heel, then walked towards me, a blank expression on her face. She then grabbed my wrist and held it tightly.

"What business do you have with Juwon?!" She yelled, her expression immediately changing into an angry one. "Answer me!"

"W-why does it matter?!" I immediately got into character and yanked my wrist, making her let go. "You're not even the slightest bit important to him! You're just an obsessed stalker! Ridiculous!"

"What?! Hold your tounge!"

"I don't have a tounge to hold for you!"

"Argh! I've had it up to here! If you don't have a tounge to hold for me, why don't I just cut yours off and make you hold it?!" Jangmi yelled. Her voice echoed through the auditorium which was dead silent. Jangmi's lips then stretched into a satisfied smirk before glancing at Inhye, who's jaw was left wide open. "What did I tell ya?"
