Heejin's POV
"Are you seeing someone?"
I choke on my food because of Sooyoung's question, making my friends laugh. Haseul handed me a bottled water and I chugged it down.
"What the fuck, Soo?" I coughed couple of times before calming down.
"Girl, you're always on your phone and you often disappear" she said and my palms started sweating. Why do they have to do this to me? I'm a terrible liar for Pete's sake.
"I'm not seeing someone. I'm just busy cuz dad is making orders to me" I said and eat more veggies. Hyunjin scolded me so many times that I should eat more vegetables so I can stay healthy and here I am eating greens.
"Really?" Kahei looks at me suspiciously so I tried to act casually.
"Yeah"
"He isn't asking us to accompany you though" Yeojin said
"It's just simple tasks so help is not necessary"
Just finish this topic already. I can't lie that much especially to them.
"Boo!"
Almost all of us in this table jump before of this motherfucker named Shin Ryujin.
"Fuck it" Jinsol cursed and held her chest where her heart is while Ryujin just laughed at our reactions.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" I asked her, obviously annoyed. She just laugh harder and sit beside me.
"It seems like you guys are teasing the bunny. What's the tea?" she asked and casually steal food from Haseul.
"Nothing much, we just asked her if she's seeing someone cuz she's always on her phone and goes missing sometimes" Kahei said and Ryujin gave me a glance.
"What did she say?" she asked
"She denied it" Yeojin said
"You denied me?" Ryujin said and looks at me. Now it's Sooyoung's turn to choke.
"You guys are dating?" Yeojin asked, quite loud that the other students from the other tables near us looks at our direction.
I step on Ryujin's foot, making her wince in pain. I can feel my real girlfriend's piercing glare at our direction and I want to strangle Ryujin right now.
"Do you have a death wish, Shin?" I whispered to her. She's about to ask something when I muttered "Kim"
She knows what that means cuz she's the only person who knows about Hyunjin and I's relationship. She's our mutual friend and our trust on each other is so much that we share each other's darkest secrets.
She subtly looked at Hyunjin's table which is just next to ours and I saw her visibly gulped.
"I'm doomed, right?" she whispered and I nodded. I'm gonna witness Hyunjin trying to murder Ryujin again. May she have mercy on our poor friend.
"So are you guys really dating?" Sooyoung asked
"No" Ryujin and I answered in chorus.
"I was just joking, okay?" Ryujin said, eating my sandwich. I can feel her nervousness lol.
I received a notification, it's a text message from Hyunjin.
my little meow meow <3
bubu, go and tell ryu that she's dead
to me when i get my hands on her
I chuckled and show my phone screen to Ryujin.
"You're gonna help me out, right?" she said and I shake my head.
"Go and deal with her yourself" I said, tidying up the wraps and container I used and get up from my seat.
"Ya, bunny"
I ignored Ryujin and throw my trash to the bin before leaving the cafeteria.
Hyunjin's POV
I just got home and I got something needed to be sign by my dad so I went to the basement where I guess he'll be.
There I saw a man kneeling in front of him begging my dad to spare him.
"Dad" I called him and they turned to my direction. The man crawl towards me and cling to my leg. Now he's begging me to tell dad not to kil him.
"Don't touch me." I said sternly and kick him so he'll loose his grip on my leg. I got some of his blood on my skin. Great. Now I have to take a shower again.
"What do you need?" dad asked and I handed him the folder I'm holding. He took a ballpen from his table and while he's busy signing the paper, the man move quickly and get a knife from the ground and trap me in his arm. He's behind me with his arm around my neck, the sharp knife pointing to my neck also.
"Let me go or you'll lose your daughter" he said and I scoffed together with my father.
"I'm dead serious!" he shouted and god, my ears. Dad just chuckles and finish signing the paper I needed.
Hyeju walks inside the room and look at us with a bored look.
"Why are you letting him point a knife to you?" she asked, clearly confused.
I shrugged, grabbing the man's hand that's holding the knife and elbowed him right into his tummy. He fell on his knees and I burry the knife that he was pointing at me to his hand.
He screamed in pain and I take out the knife only to stab him again. I grab a handful of his hair, making him face me.
"Next time you fucking touch me- oh wait there will be no next time. Right, dad?" I said and smirked at him.
"That's right, Uno" dad said and I let go of the man, taking the knife with me then I placed it on the table together with the other weapons.
"Here" dad handed me back the folder
"Thanks, dad" I said, turning around to walk away. I turn my head one last time, making an eye contact with the man. Poor him. He's not gonna make it alive there.
Every person who was brought there, gets out not breathing anymore. There's no exception.
I look at our family portrait on the wall and stare at it for a long time. I was born in this family that doesn't know how to have mercy on people. I was born to be a sinner. I was born to be Kim Hyunjin. Ju and Jarim's Uno.
