W-What? You aren't?!

TW: Verbal Abuse

Alexa walked pass Stella and her vocal coaches room, she could hear them talking about something. Curiously she pressed her ear against the door trying to listen what they were talking about.
" I want to try opera!" Stella said
" Why opera? You have many other options." He said
" Yes but I'd feel more comfortable with opera since I'm fluent in many european languages since I'm from England."
" Opera it is Saetbyeol."

Pulling away from the door she bit her lip deciding whether or not if she should also do opera. The words echoed in her head she had to get rid of Stella one way or else she wouldn't have her dream accomplished. Alll the years of training would have gone down the drain.
" We'll see about that." She mumbled walking to her practice room, Ms. Lim smiled as she saw Alexa walking towards her with sheets of paperwork.
" What is this Min-yong?" Ms. Lim asked
" I want to try opera." She said
" What?! Why would you try such annoying music?!"
" You said I should try to do whatever it is to get rid of Saetbyeol. She wants to try Opera! And now so do I." She said
" You're learning well Min-yong. I'll help you with opera." Ms. Lim said smirking

The rest of the day Min-yong couldn't focus, was she really listening to Ms. Lim? She was known to be incredibly strict and ruthless but nothing compared to the reality that was Ms. Lim was.
As she made her way twords school she heard someone whisper about Stella, making her way twords her locker she noticed a group of students surrounding a wall. She walked over to what people were talking about her eyes widen seeing the poster that laid on the wall.
" Saetbyeol and Min-yong both want to try opera? Since when was Saetbyeol so interested in opera? She's trying to copy Min-yong. They both have the same bag pack too. Don't you think it's weird? Stella is so unoriginal, she can't even hold a note." People whisper to others
" Saetbyeol! Saet-Byeol calm down!" Yu-Mi yelled running after the girl, she pushed past the group of people her eyes widen seeing the sign up sheets. Ripping the sheet Stella read through the signatures.

" Min-yong? W-What have you done?" Saetbyeol asked
" I've done nothing Jeon Saet-Byeol. Don't ask me what I've done, your the one copying me." She said
" No! I would never! Min-yong! Please don't try opera too!" Stella begged
" What?! I'm the one who should be begging you." She said
" You know that only two people from each company can sign up! Taehyung has already signed up...I was supposed to be the other one."
" Okay and? Just quit, there are many other genres you'd be good for. Plus you still can't hold a note. What makes you think you can sing opera." She said smirking feeling horrible on the inside seeing Stella's pleading eyes.

" You have everything! You've done acting, singing, dancing and rapping! Your literally good at everything! I just want to do this because it makes me feel happy and at home!" Stella said
" That isn't my problem. Get over it Jeon Saet-Byeol welcome to reality." She said walking away from the group, leaving Stella in shame. At lunch she saw Yu-Mi, Jason and Hyo-eun comforting Stella as she weeped in their arms. She felt incredibly guilty, she had never done anything like that and it hurt. But she had to do what she had to do.
" Hey Lex!" Jeno said smiling
" H-Hi Jeno. How are you doing?" She asked
" Eh okay, hey do you know what's wrong with Saet-Byeol? She's been crying all day." He said
Jealously overcame her as he looked at Stella with worried eyes, she groaned loudly stabbing her food with a chopstick.
" Who cares! She's just a cry baby." She mumbled loudly enough for Jeno and Tae-jin to hear.
" Hey! Kim Min-yong that is your friend! How could you just say that?!" Tae-jin asked
" No- I didn't mean it like that- I-I-"
" Her grandfather just died, her little brother doesn't even know she exist, her dad is thounds of miles away from her and her mom. She can't even see anyone!" Tae-jin said
" You don't think I'm going through that too?!  She's not the only one Tae-jin." She said
" Yeah but you don't knows what it's like to not have money and be the least favorite." Tae-jin said walking towards the other group.
" Are you going to follow him too?!" She asked
" No...but I don't agree with what you said. But no one should eat lunch alone!" Jeno said smiling
Hearing that made her heart skip a beat, she had him and no one else did.

Months had passed by, she looked at her hands seeing slash marks of the wooden sick Ms. Lim would hit her with. Entering the practice room she sighed softly placing a piece of paper in front of Ms. Lim fear over took her body as Ms. Lim read over the document an angry face appeared. Pure fear and panic was strucking deep down into her core due to the deathening since. A loud smack was heard from the room, she placed her hand against her cheek feeling hit hurt more than ever. She wanted to cry so badly, but if she did she would slapped or kicked even harder.
" YOU QUIT?!" Ms. Lim yelled
" Y-Yes... ma'am." She mumbled
" Why would you quit?! ALL YOUR HARD WORK DOWN THE DRAIN FOR WHAT?!" Ms. Lim screeched
" S-Saetbyeol really wanted to do opera...I felt horrible taking the opportunity a-away from her..." She cried letting a tear escape, quickly wipping it away she feared what Ms. Lim would do if she noticed that tear.
" You choose 4 years of training over a 2 year friendship?! WHY WOULD YOU DO SUCH A STUPID THING?!" Ms. Lim yelled throwing a frame at her, she closed her eyes as the frame hit the wall only missing her by an inch.
" You are a disgrace Kim Min-yong, you are a Kim! You are related to The Kim So-Ra and Lee Solhyun!" Ms. Lim yelled
" Please don't drop me! I'll do better next time! Please don't drop me! I'll get rid of Stella! I promise I will! You'd never hear or see her here again if you don't drop me! PLEASE!" She cried as she begged on her knees, Ms. Lim scoffed bending down. She placed her hand underneath her chin sqeezing her cheeks together smirking.
" Of course I won't drop you. You're are too special to me for me to let you go so easily. If you mess up another time I will kill you and ruin everything you've ever worked so hard for." Ms. Lim said smiling
" W-What?! You aren't?!" She asked fear shown deep in her eyes, Ms. Lim nodded quietly making her smile in relief.
