Vexatious || Ateez J.WY

chapter 11.

"mr. yang."

in no way did sooyoung see that coming. people always kept saying how joonsoo's family was high and mighty so she expected high and mighty.

she never expected his dad to be one of their employees, and a terrible one at that. this is what's making his head big?

"you know her?" joonsoo asked his father in a confused manner.

mr. yang, still in state of surprise, lets out, "yes. she's, uh-"

"what did my daughter do this time?" a man in formal attire walked in the room, already looking tired.

"hi, dad." sooyoung sheepishly smiled.

"president im." mr. yang slightly bowed. "this is quite a situation."

"yes, so it seems." the girl's dad eyed him head to toe.

the principal took matters to his hand and explained to both fathers what their children had done, causing them to exhale with disappointment.

"i want her expelled!" joonsoo yells demandingly. "she used violence-"

sooyoung rolled her eyes at his tantrum. "you insulted my friends, made minjee an outcast, and cornered me for a pen. that was only my first month here, god knows what you've been doing to other students."

"sooyoung." her father quietly warns before facing the other men. "how about they apologize to each other? maybe this is all just a big misunderstanding."

the bully was ready to dismiss the thought. "screw that-"

"that's a great idea, sir." mr. yang quickly interjects.

"dad-"

"joonsoo, just do as he says." his father slightly glares at him, making him gulp and keep silent.

mr. lee lightly chuckles at them. "well, i guess we could try that."

the room fell silent as the teenagers didn't want to admit their mistakes.

"sooyoung." mr. im had an instructive voice.

"no way. i'm not doing it first." the girl pridefully said.

mr. yang clears his throat, urging his son to make the first move. "joonsoo will go."

"hell n-" the boy was cut off by his father pushing his head down to a bow, both of them bending their torsos.

"we sincerely apologise for the trouble my son caused." the man stated.

sooyoung could feel her dad's glare so she quickly mumbled a, "me too, i guess."

when the two parents settled everything with the principal, both families got out of the office.

"dad! what was that?!" joonsoo grumbled to the stressed looking man.

"i told you that my boss's daughter goes here! when will you stop being an embarrassment?"

the boy only rolled his eyes and walked away, making his father follow him to their car.

"well, that was fun." sooyoung snickered.

mr. im blankly looked at her before pinching her ear and pulling it.

"ow! ow!"

"someone wanted you expelled and you thought it was fun?" her father rhetorically asked.

the girl swatted the adult's hand away, whining in the process. "i was standing up for others, just like you said."

"yes, and i'm proud of you but you don't just go hitting people!" mr. im sighed. "there are other ways to deal with bullies."
