Vexatious || Ateez J.WY

chapter 6.

"oh, why does the world hates me so much?"

"aside from being bitchy, there are other reasons." the boy pulled the chair he placed his bag on.

"why don't you just go somewhere else?" sooyoung not-so politely advised.

"i got here first, you spoiled brat." wooyoung snarled, placing down the book and sat down.

it's not like he wanted to stay there with this witch, but it wasn't as if he could just walk out there with a book belonging to the school without having to go through some measures. and this just damn homework had to be due today.

minjee moved her eyes back and forth the two, feeling uncomfortable by the tension. "soo, maybe we could just-"

"no, minjee. i don't see 'biggest asshole' anywhere, so this doesn't belong to him."

wooyoung rolled his eyes, not wanting to start it with her and just wanting to get the whole thing over with.

both of them started their own task to finish sooner.

however, the two girls just wouldn't stop whispering too loud for the boy's liking. he needed to get this done quick to eat lunch, and in order to do that, he needed to concentrate. the crocodile beside him was making it very hard for him.

"would you shut the hell up?"

minjee pursed her lips, scared what the lilac might do if she wouldn't. the other girl simply groaned.

"it's not my fault you're a dunce now." sooyoung eyed him. "you really changed."

wooyoung poked the inside of his cheek with his tongue. he hated the tone she used, as if she wasn't part of the reason for this. as if he was the problem.

no matter how much he wanted to yell at her, he kept his mouth shut.

he pretended to drop the pen he was using and reached under the table when sooyoung faced minjee again.

she still wears rubber shoes, huh?

he smirked mischievous before sneakily executing the idea that came to his head.

minutes later, sooyoung stretched her arms as she quietly whined. "finally."

"yay!" minjee celebrated with her. "i'll put them on the shelves. you can go tell mrs. shin we're done." she smiled before carrying the materials.

just as sooyoung stood up and was about to approach the counter, she felt one of her foot getting tugged and prevented her from walking any further.

she tripped and fell which caused a loud bang, causing stares around the venue.

she looked at her feet, wondering why she failed taking a step, and saw that the shoelaces from both her shoes were tied together into one knot. this gremlin.

biting her lower lip to contain her anger and embarrassment, she undoes her shoelaces and stood up while dusting herself.

"sooyoung!" her friend exclaimed when she returned. "are you okay? oh, my god."

without saying anything, she marched quietly behind the boy who she knew was the reason for that humiliation.

sooyoung takes out the gum she was chewing and pressed it against the devil's purple hair, earning a gasp from the other girl.
