Vexatious || Ateez J.WY

chapter 12.

after having that eventful lunch with hongjoong, they made their way back to their respective classes, not missing how other students were murmuring when hongjoong tried to put his arm around mingi as they went off.

when sooyoung stepped into her classroom, she immediately noticed minjee who was already seated.

"hey, did you eat well?" the transferee tries to start.

the shorter hummed and nodded. "yeah. you?"

"yeah."

awkward. sooyoung thought, wanting to bang her head on the desk.

lessons went by quickly, and soon came their last class.

"the teachers are having a seminar and unfortunately that includes me." the teacher announces which some students let out celebratory noises. "don't be too excited. you'll still have to wait one more hour to go anywhere. until then, stay in this room."

the adult walked out after hearing a few groans and telling the class president to keep an eye on the students.

while minding her own business, a pair of hands suddenly slammed down on her desk, making minjee flinch.

"im sooyoung!" a furious voice almost screamed. the whole class wonderingly moved their gazes at the trouble waiting to happen.

the mentioned girl looked up with a dull face, making eye contact with joonsoo's boar-like face. before she could ask what else he wanted, he immediately yelled,

"you had my dad fired, didn't you?!"

sooyoung was confused at his sudden outburst but tried not to let it faze her. "what bullshit are you sprouting this time?"

barely finishing her sentence, the things on her table were flung away. "don't play dumb with me! you had my dad fired because of yesterday!"

whispers of gossip spread across the room. she really didn't want to talk about anymore news regarding her family, however, she had absolutely no idea what this ogre was yapping.

minjee saw the slight confusion of her friend. "joonsoo, you're going too far-"

"shut it, squirt." the bully glared. "you think you can talk back to me just because she's keeping you around? that's what you do best, isn't it? leeching off others?"

"i still owe you for that pen, right?" the tone of sooyoung's voice became darker, catching the attention of the guy. she reached for something in her bag, "here." and threw it right at his face.

it took a while to comprehend what she tossed, and upon realizing what it was, it made the people around know who had more authority.

it was a stack of cash. lots of cash.

"i even added the interest." sooyoung then faked a pout. "i guess you'll need it now more than i do."

you could basically see smoke coming out from joonsoo's nose from the way he was breathing out of anger.

the girl batted her eyelashes. "what? are you gonna hit me?" she smiled maliciously and leaned forward. "go ahead. i'll have more reasons to sue you."

"you bitch! i'll fucking-" a book abruptly hit the back of joonsoo's head, causing sooyoung to glance behind him.

"do you ever shut up?" a lilac haired boy yawned, looking like he just woke up. "so goddamn loud."

"joonsoo, i'll to ask you to stop stirring up trouble or i'll have to tell the teacher about this." the class president spoke up.
