𝐈𝐓 𝐖𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐒𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐓, everyone around them had their jaws wide open and their eyes wider. No one had anticipated Ye-Rin to join them, yet alone actually physically get involved.
" God, you really make me loose my patience. " Ye-Rin gritted as she aimlessly flicked her hand trying to dismiss the slight sting. " I don't think I've ever talked to someone with such a lack of common sense, guess there's a first time for everything. "
She could see Seol-A's fierce eyes falter as her jaw tensed up the tiniest bit, proving her words had an effect on her.
" News flash, we don't care if you 'beat' us, we don't care that you're an orphan or that you took a GED. But if you're going to flaunt your stupid pride, flaunt it elsewhere. What's the use of you placing first if your record is already tainted with so many federal crimes, your bad washes out your good. "
Ye-Rin held her arms cover her chest, her shoulders relaxed as she let out her thoughts. Allowing Seok-Kyung to gently pull her back into Seok-Hoon's arms and taking over.
" You didn't beat us. " Her tone equally as mad, if not more, as the girl before.
" You guys have it all. You live in fancy houses, and you have rich parents who provide you with full support. You have everything you could ask for. So why are you obsessed with bullying me? " Min Seol-A spoke up with her new found confidence, if anything, the real person she should've been afraid of was Ye-Rin, she knew exactly where to push her buttons and rail her up.
" I pity you guys. You're pitiful and sad. "
She got up to leave just as Ye-Rin had tried to break loose of her boyfriends arms, only to be pulled back behind him. Seok-Hoon was practically fuming at this point, and he was going to make sure Min Seol-A knew that.
" You pity us? Who are you to pity us? Who do you think you are? " He spoke with malice and apathy, anyone who'd hear his tone would've been intimidated by it, but Ye-Rin found it oddly attractive. He turned to Min-Hyuk, " did you bring what I asked you to? " And quickly returned beside his girlfriend.
" Of course. " The boy replied in his usual cheeky voice, he turned around and began rummaging through his stuff and pulled out two bottles of champagne, very expensive champagne in fact. " Ta-da! "
The group rejoiced as they each grabbed ahold of one bottle, Ye-Rin included as fear instantly clouded the tutor.
" What are you doing? " Her voice quivered as her doe eyes twinkled from the tears that began collecting.
" You're a collage student. You're a UCLA student who took a leave of absence. You're not a minor, so you can enjoy some champagne, right? " Seok-Kyung taunted and teased, thought there wasn't any room in her tone to prove she was joking.
As if on cue, everyone began shaking their bottles rapidly.
" Please don't do this. Let me go home, please. " She begged, which in Ye-Rin's opinion, held much more emotion and sincerity than her previous apology.
" Don't be scared, we're just going to celebrate. " Seok-Hoon advanced as he cornered her inside the van whilst Min-Hyuk whipped out his phone and began filming. " A party to congratulate your admission as the top student. " He laughed before they all began popping open the cork and watched as the alcohol shot out.
They took turns dosing her in champagne as she backed her way completely into the white van, her cardigan now soaked in alcohol that she was positive costed more than anything she owned.
" Look at yourself. " Seok-Kyung laughed as she continued throwing the drink through the window of the vehicle. " I totally get why your parents abandoned you. "
" A top student? You're unbelievable. Who do you think you are? " Eun-Byeol expressed, as Seol-A tried to defend herself from the constant spray attacking her from all sides.
Ye-Rin giggled as she stood furthest from the van, her bottle of champagne almost empty. She didn't feel the compulsive need to play a part in the dosing since she had already done what she had to and made her point clear.
So she was just fine observing. She knew it was probably over-the-top and unnecessary, after all, this wasn't exactly a posh and elegant way of handling it but the adrenaline that coursed through them was enough to blind any rational judgement they had at the moment.
" Let's not forget the cake. We're here to congratulate you. " Seok-Hoon came back into view, holding a small cake littered with candles. He placed it in front of her and handed her restrained hands a bottle for herself. " If you do as you're told, we'll let you go. "
Ye-Rin had a soft grin the entire time, the adrenaline wearing off which also took her energy. Her boyfriend stood beside her as he too let the others have their fun.
" Congratulations on placing first today, " he spoke in a tender tone. Much different from just a few moments before as he turned to face her.
She let a giddy laugh escape her lips. " And congrats to you too for placing first, " Ye-Rin smiled softly as she linked her hand with his. Her other hand came in contact with her lip, trying to get rid of the champagne that spilled onto her knuckles before grimacing at the taste. " Yeah, I'm not drinking until I reach 20. " Sticking her tongue out.
He snickered and pulled her into a side hug, the girl instantly melting into his touch and warmth. " Let's take you home before your parents start turning the entire Hera Palace around searching for you. "
And with that, the two bid goodbye to the rest and made their way home first.
