Melting the Ice | Lee Suho - True Beauty

Chapter 47

Miyoung took a deep breath. She held tight the straps of her bag and stepped inside the campus of Saebom high. No running away anymore. She knew who she was. Her loved ones knew who she was. That was all she needed. Ignoring the stares and whisper as she walked the alley, she headed to the Classroom of Class 2-5. Something seemed to have changed too with the students. Their stares were different. They weren't judgmental. They were admirative ("I heard she did surgery on her face?", "Shut up! It was because of her father so don't bring that up!", "She's so strong!").

Miyoung smiled. She wondered what made them change their judgmental eyes for more admirative ones. But little did she knows that her friends were working hard to clarify everything that was said in the post. Seojun searched hard to find the webmaster. Gowoon even fought with the webmaster. Suho had been shamelessly claiming he was dating Miyoung, shutting people up in the process. And Sua, Jukyung, and Taehoon argued quite often with people that were ill-talking about Miyoung. That was thanks to them if Miyoung was reassured to see people not as mean as she thought they would have been. But that, she didn't know it.

The model walked inside the building and headed to her classroom. She slid open the door. Everyone kept quiet and turned to her. Miyoung was nervous to face them again all after three days. But her friends would do their best to make her comeback easier.

"Gim Mi!" both Sua and Jukyung exclaimed.

They bolted up from their seats and tackled the Gim girl in a hug. Miyoung chucked but hugged them back.

"Are you okay?"

"How are you feeling?"

"Don't worry about the people, we took care of them,"

"I'm so happy you are back!"

"Girls, girls, let her breath," Taehoon chuckled.

Miyoung reassured them. She was grateful to have such wonderful friends by her side but she felt guilty too. They must have been really worried. Her classmates too seem to be pleased to see her back.

The Gim girl told her friends she would be back soon. She had to see Mr. Han to collect all lessons she missed. She wanted to see her friends before that. So Miyoung left the classroom and headed to the staff room. But as she was walking in corridor, Miyoung stopped. The bullies were coming her way but they didn't seem to have noticed her. Without thinking twice, the Gim girl turned away and hid the toilet. She locked herself into one of the cabin. The last time she encounter the bullies, it went really bad. Miyoung rather not face her again.

A moment later, Miyoung heard the door of the toilets opening. Soon after, voices filled the place. Miyoung brought her legs up to not be seen.

"Hey, I heard Gim Miyoung came back to school," it was the leader that was talking. Miyoung recognised her voice. "She's shameless to come after lying about her whole life," she scoffed.

"But do you really think she's dating Lee Suho?" another girl said. "She's fake and a real psycopath. I really doubt he's dating her,"

"I bet they broke up after he found out the truth about her," the leader said again. "Who would like to date a girl like her?"

"Isn't Lee Suho a little out of it these days as well?" a girl said. "Remember what happen to his dad? He must be dating anyone because he's not in his right might,"

"I can't believe you said that," the other laughed.

"Let's go," the leader said.

Miyoung heard footsteps, the door opening and then nothing.

Miyoung clenched her jaw. How could they be so mean and heartless? She was mad. She thought they were liking Suho but then they were making fun of him? What was that? They didn't know either Miyoung or Suho but had the audacity to talk about them. Miyoung scoffed.
