Third Person's POV

-----

"Are you serious? You met Joy in the restaurant and you, Y/n, who always ranted about Joy being a creep, joined her for dinner." Moonbyul snorted, her nose scrunching like a hamster.

"I didn't joined her, willingly. She was the one who ruined my hiding place. And Joy being Joy, she just sat there across me like I was her date." Y/n explained to her.

"But you didn't kick her off of your table?" Moonbyul teased.

"Of course, I wouldn't kick her. Jennie already saw me. And if Joy wasn't with me that time, Jennie will be suspicious of me spying on her. Cause who the hell does that?"

"You" The brunette pointed at her. Y/n slapped her hand away.

"Why can't you just confess to her already?" A sudden high-pitched voice surprised the two, making them jump out of their seat. The two loudly groan as they clutched their chest.

"What the actual fuck, Wheein?!" Moonbyul cursed out. The said girl stood there, smiling innocently.

"Fuck, you're going to give me a heart attack, Jung" Y/n said, returning to her seat. Wheein joined them at the leather couch.

"I'm gonna tell Solar-unnie. That you did it again!" The small girl didn't got scared of Moonbyul's threat instead she-

"And I'm going to tell her what happened at-" Wheein's voice went muffled. Moonbyul's hand is at the smaller girl's mouth. Y/n who was watching this shook her head.

"Shut the fu- AHH" the older girl caressed the part of her hand where she got bitten.

"Why would you do that, you disgusting-" she stopped when she saw Wheein taking out her phone and dialing Solar's number.

"Wheein-ah, I'm sorry," Moonbyul said in her baby voice, and then she pouted while batting her eyes at the younger girl. Wheein squeeled out of cringiness. Y/n could only look at her dumb best friend with her disgusted expression. Her concern about the other day went off of her mind because of the two beagles, bickering.

"Y/n! Wait!" Joy shouted in the middle of an empty hallway. Y/n stopped in her tracks, then she took a deep breath. The loud girl keeps on appearing everywhere she went and it is stressing her out. After that night, Joy's clinginess got worst. She always clung to her arm, even though Jennie looked like she was killing her inside her head.

There was this time when the two almost got into a fight in the school's cafeteria after Joy's clumsiness almost spilled the drink on the table. And Y/n couldn't do anything but sigh because the girl was too hard-headed to stay away from her.

"Joy, what the hell do you want?" She tiredly asked. Y/n didn't have any energy left because of her basketball team's practice earlier. Her arms and legs are very sore that it was hanging freely like she was a walking zombie.

"Are you okay?" She went from excited to anxious. Joy was worried about Y/n. She noticed that Y/n looked pale these days. Joy moves closer to the taller girl. While Y/n just stare at her, waiting on what she'll do. Joy put both of her hands to Y/n's cheeks, making her lean down.

"Wh-what are you d-doing?" Y/n stuttered, flustered at what Joy did. The two were too close to everyone's liking. If someone saw them, they would assume that they were kissing.

Y/n can't help but admire the face she was seeing. Her skin looked so soft to caress it. Her eyes were drowning her. And the way Joy's lips moved made her blink twice. Now, Y/n admits that Joy is really beautiful.

"Are you listening, Y/n?" Joy smirked. But her smirk grew wider when she saw Y/n's cheeks turning red and when she saw three girls walking towards them, recognizing the three she planned something to Y/n. Y/n was about to pull away but the girl who was holding her cheeks, quickly get a hold of her neck, holding her closer than before. Y/n gulped when she felt Joy's warm breath on her lips.

A loud cough interrupted their moment. Y/n pushed Joy not too hard. She faced the three girls with different expressions on their faces. She divert her gaze away when she met Jennie's eyes.

The three girls were Jennie, Irene, and Yeri. Jennie was again glaring at the girl who was beside Y/n. Y/n couldn't even count on how many times Jennie glared at Joy. And it also confuses Y/n because of how she hated Joy so much especially when Joy is around Y/n.

Yeri, who was one of Joy's close friends had this hurt expression that she was trying to hide but failed to do so. She was uncomfortably fiddling at her short skirt and avoiding someone's gaze.

And then there's Irene, her usual cold stare made Y/n scare the shit out of her. Bae Joo Hyun also known as Irene, is the current school supreme president. She always tops the class, not just the class but the entire school.  That means she's one of those nerds but a different kind of nerd. Instead of everyone making fun of her being a nerd, every student here in school knows not to mess with her and Jennie.

The two were also inseparable, just like her and Jennie but that changed when Kai came into the picture. Y/n glanced at Jennie who now have her arms crossed and bitch-resting face on.

After Kai asked Jennie out, the two hangouts were lesser than before. The only time the two talk is when they have their lunch but their talk wasn't like in the past, you know the comfortable one like they forgot that they have their class, now it was shortened, Y/n don't even know how to act in front of Jennie who is being sweet to Kai. She just quietly sat there, eating her food. She just talk when she was asked. Sometimes Y/n is cursing herself for being the third wheeler. And when Joy joined the table, that's where she silently thanked the girl even though she was too touchy for her liking.

"-Didn't you know that public display of affection here is prohibited inside the campus!?" You flinched at Irene's shouting. For a small girl like her, she sure does have a very loud voice, you thought. That's why you shouldn't mess with small girls, they're quite scary.

"You two will be having a detention tomorrow. And don't even think of escaping. I'll be watching you two after class." Irene warned like she's some kind of a strict teacher. Joy pretends to yawn which made Y/n think if she's crazy for doing that. And Y/n almost had her jaw dropped when Joy asked Irene in her dull voice.

"Are you done?" Her eyes quickly glanced at the youngest who had her head down, still fiddling at the hem of her skirt. Joy didn't wait for Irene to speak, she already dragged Y/n away from them.

"Okay, what the hell was that?" she mumbled as she got pulled away by Joy.
