Author's Note
I just realized that I missed a chapter for the Jeno fragment because I accidentally merged chapter 16 and 17 together. I'm so sorry ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

I knocked on the bedroom door, then slowly opened it. Once Gyuri and I saw Jangmi lying in bed with her right hand casted though, we immediately freaked out.

"Jangmi?!"

"Oh, hi guys!" Jangmi waved when she saw us. "Why're you here? Shouldn't you guys be in school?"

"I'm a college drop out, Ji." Gyuri sighed.

"Riiight..." Jangmi rolled her eyes before glancing at me. "What about you?"

"That doesn't matter. What happened to you?" I asked, sitting beside her. "Why haven't you been answering my texts or anything?"

"Ah! I knew this would happen if they took away my phone." Jangmi mumbled brfore cupping my cheek. "Jiyeong, sweetie, I fractured my arm."

"What?!"

"Yeah, and my mom being my mom, she took my phone away." She continued. "She wants me to not do anything stupid and put me under house arrest."

"... H-hold on a damn minute!" I slapped her arm away from my cheek. "So you're telling me you're unaware of what the hell is going on with your play right now?!"

"I told the headmaster to get a replacement..." Jangmi mumbled. "Why? You're scaring me, Jiji."

I sucked in a deep breath before quickly answering.

"Iseul is in charge of your play right now."

Jangmi's eyes widened.

"W-what..." She whispered, making me let out a small sigh. "You mean Iseul as in Glitter Squid Iseul?!"

"Yes, I mean Iseul as in Glitter Squid Iseul!"

"How dare she?!" Jangmi yelled, slamming Moby Dick, aka her whale doll, to the bed. "How dare she?! How dare she?! How dare she?!"

"Jangmi—"

"Don't "Jangmi" me, Kim Gyuri! Get my mom! I need to leave this fucking house and get back to my dorms now!" She commanded like a spoiled brat throwing a tantrum. The other female sighed before standing up and leaving to find her friend's mom.

☆•☆•☆•☆•☆•☆•☆

"Does your arm still hurt—"

"No."

"Does it still—"

"It's fine, mom! Just let me leave!" Jangmi groaned. Her mother sighed as she nodded, then looked to me and Gyuri.

"Please look after her." She murmured.

"We will, auntie." I gave her a reassuring smile. The three of us piled in Gyuri's car, then drove towards the school.

"Why are we driving so slowly?" Jangmi asked.

"We just started moving fifteen seconds ago." Gyuri rolled her eyes. "Plus, if we go fast, something might happen-"

"We don't have time for worrying! Drive! Drive! Drive! Vrooooooom!"

"I don't remember you being this annoying when you're hurt." I sighed. "But listen here, Jangmi.

"I promised your mom that I'll look after you, so if you're looking for the day you break both of your arms, I hate to break it to you, but it's not today."
