"Noona, have I mentioned you look really pretty today?" Jungwon whispers to me shyly, showing off his dimple.

I chuckle in awe from his cuteness.

"You look really handsome, too, Jungwon." I pinch his squishy cheek, as he grins even wider.

"Yo, Jungwon, stop flirting with Jihyun... Sunghoon's going to kill you later." Jay jokes.

"Shut up, hyung. No I won't kill you, Jungwon." Sunghoon puts his hand on Jungwon's shoulder, rolling his eyes at the snickering Jay.

"Sunghoon hyung's secretly a yandere." Sunoo laughs.

My heart pangs with pain, thinking about Sunwoo after hearing the word 'yandere'. It was the most commonly used nickname for him from all of the other guys. I gulp bitterly, shaking away the thought of him in my mind. I'm getting over him, which is good. I need to stop getting reminded of him every single time. I don't need him. He's an asshole.

"I am not a yandere." Sunghoon rolls his eyes again, this time more dramatically, while throwing his arm around my shoulders.

"What's wrong with you guys and your obsessions for Jihyun? Gross," Jake snorts.

"Jake... I will throw you in front of the train." I glare at him, and he grins at me nervously.

We enter the train station, buzzing our train/bus cards to let us in. After we all got in past the gates, we stood there, waiting for the train to arrive; just 12 more minutes, which is absolutely horrific, but it's fine. We have all day to ourselves. It was Friday, anyway. We didn't have school tomorrow.

"Hyung, can you please buy me boba~ I'm broke, and I want to save my money to get this game later!!" I hear Riki whining to Sunghoon while I was standing next to Heeseung.

"No. Why didn't you bring more money, stupid?" Sunghoon flicks Riki's forehead.

"Because!! I spent it all on food this morning at school!" Riki complains.

I roll my eyes, walking towards them. "It's fine, Riki. I'll pay for your boba, okay?" I ruffle his hair.

"Wait.. no! I'll pay for your drink, Niki. I'll pay. It's okay, Jihyun." Sunghoon giggles awkwardly and nervously, suddenly stepping in after I offered to pay for Riki.

"Okay.. whatever you say, Sunghoon." I retort.

"Thanks hyung! And thanks anyway, Jihyun noona." Riki smiles at me and I nod my head in return.

"It's no problem." I respond, walking back to stand next to Heeseung.

"It's hilarious how you're wearing one inch heels but you're still shorter than all of us." Heeseung snickers, making fun of me.

I stare at him with a deadly look and he laughs.

"I'll throw you in front of the train with Jake." I deadpan.

"Hey! What does that have anything to do with me!" Jake throws up his arms in defense, standing with us.

"Shut up. Besides, all of you are literally just tall. It has nothing to do with me being short." I cross my arms, fussing.

"Stop making fun of Jihyun. We all know she's a midget." Sunghoon rests his head on top of mine, wrapping his arm around my shoulder again after walking to next to me.

"You hyungs are so mean! Leave her alone." Sunoo pouts.

"Jungwon, Sunoo, and Niki are younger than you but are giants compared to you." Jay laughs loudly, clutching his stomach from the hysterical laughing.

"You guys are rude." I sigh deeply, exasperated.

"Yeah! Leave her alone." Jungwon chuckles softly.

"Not her fault she's a living dwarf from the movies-" Jake starts, but we all stop talking as we hear a familiar voice.

"Babe! The train stop is here." I look over and see Soyeon with Sunwoo.

They were holding hands; she was leading him over to where we were standing. Matching and everything, the two had on couple outfits. They both looked at each other as if they were so in love. They looked really happy.

We didn't bother saying anything to them; we tried to avoid them seeing us, but Soyeon noticed me. She gasped a little and dragged Sunwoo over here, the two of them standing in front of us all.

"Oh! Jihyun, hi." Soyeon smiles at me.

I can see right through her smile. Everything about her was fake. I knew she was secretly rubbing it in my face that she had Sunwoo.

"Hey." I quickly say, with no emotion.

"Sunghoon, right? Hi." Soyeon waves at him and I honestly just want to barf.

What, is she gonna steal him from me, too?

I avoided looking at Sunwoo, because even the thought of him alone just angered me. Though, I can really feel his gaze fixed upon me the entire time Soyeon was faking to be nice.

Sunghoon didn't respond to her greetings. Instead, he just gave her a blank expression and nodded his head slightly. The other guys avoided eye contact with her.

"Where are you guys going?" Soyeon smiles.

"None of your business." Heeseung deadpans.

This was the part where I expected Sunwoo to jump in and defend his girl friend, but surprisingly, I look over and see him staring at the ground now; not saying a word, not even making a single noise at all. Soyeon looks at Sunwoo, expecting him to jump in, but she notices that he was keeping quiet and looks back at all of us.

"Jihyun, why are your friends being mean to me? Shouldn't you tell them to calm down? We're friends, right? You and I?" She gives me a fake grin.

"I'm not your friend." I remark coldly.

"What? I thought you were my friend!" She fusses, raising her squeaky little voice.

"We've been best friends for years, Jihyun! Why is it different? I thought I was your friend."

She does that voice thing on purpose. She has a way deeper voice, but when she's around guys, she makes her voice sound higher. It's honestly so annoying. I had enough of her.

"We aren't friends." I shake my head. "Do you know what you are, though?" I ask.

"What?" She crosses her arms defensively.

"You're a home wrecker. You're nothing but a fake and conniving home wrecker." I finally lash out on her.

"Stop coming near my friends and I. You may have Sunwoo on your side, but we sure as hell don't want you anywhere near us." I continue.

"And as for you, Sunwoo," I start, and he looks up at me with a sad expression. "Good luck, dating someone like her. You'll soon realize how much of a bitch she really is." I finish.

The two of them stay silent. Just in time, the train arrives. The guys and I get on, either taking a seat next to each other or standing in front of each other holding onto a pole. I sat down next to Sunghoon and Jake.

"Damn, you actually annihilated them, Jihyun!" Jay laughs out of amazement.

"It was nothing." I shrug.

"Oh my gosh, did you see the look on her face?Priceless. I had to try so hard not to laugh in her face. It was hilarious." Jake scoffs.

"It was pretty funny.. I'm glad you talked back to them, noona. I've heard a lot about them." Sunoo smiles brightly at me, being proud of me.

"Sunwoo didn't even bother to defend her. He knew she was in the wrong and that he fucked up." Heeseung breathes out in fascination.

"They were pissing me off. I just had to say something. Hopefully now, she's learned her lesson." I say, unbothered.

"That's my girl." Sunghoon whispers to me, grinning.

H-Huh?

What did he just say?

Did I hear right?????
