I Guess I'm in Love | Ryuryeong

5

Ryujin ate alone once again during lunch break, she was so tired of the students who kept looking at her, so she decided to stay at the garden of the school. She liked it being alone, she didn't want anyone around her that much, ever since....

She removed the thought but then she had to finish her lunch quickly before someone sees her. She quietly walked back to class, still her hoodie up and then sat down on her chair. She noticed that the girl who was supposed to be beside was not present.

"Okay class, I see that your student president had a long of things to do, but, do update her about the lesson. Also, for your project, it would be by partner" the teacher said

The class started to complain but then the teacher started talk

"Class, its for the whole year already, don't worry" she said and chuckled

"Hmm, I guess your partner would just be your seatmates, for it to be easier." The teacher said and the class agreed well, except for one. Ryujin just groaned, knowing that her seatmate would be her partner.

The teacher then started the lesson, Ryujin listened though, even if it was boring. After class, she walked around the school first.

"See you tomorrow Ryeong" Yeji said and waved goodbye to the girl

"Bye unnie" Chaeryeong said. Yeji needed to go home early because she needed to do some errands. 

She was asked to go to the library by Yuri and Minju which she did. As she went there, she saw the two girl waiting for her near the book shelves.

"What do you need to tell me?" Chaeryeong asked

"Oh, we have a project and you're partnered with Ryujin, the transferee" Yuri said

"Ah really? I need to contact her if its possible" Chaeryeong said and pouted

"Hopefully, but anyways, try to follow her home, then you guys can work together for the project" Minju suggested

"I could, I'll try though, I'm scared that she might get mad at me" Chaeryeong said and furrowed her eyebrows

"I saw her leaving the garden three minutes ago, you should follow her home now" Yuri said and Chaeryeong nodded

She bid goodbye to the two girls and went off to follow Ryujin. She noticed that Ryujin was already walking out of the school so she had to be careful. She didn't want the girl to be hearing her following her.

Chaeryeong noticed the neighborhood, it look kind of familiar, she continued to follow the other girl but then she stopped when she saw Ryujin turning to a dark alley.

"Why there?" Chaeryeong asked herself and slowly peaked through the alley that Ryujin went to.

"We already told you to stop following us huh" one guy said as she pushed Ryujin's shoulder

"I have nothing to do with you guys, you should just leave me alone" Ryujin said

"Oh, I remembered, no one is here to protect you huh, too bad that your mom and dad abandoned you-" Ryujin suddenly punched the guy. She never wanted anyone talking about her parents. She hated it, they were the ones to blame why Ryujin became like this. 

Chaeryeong wanted to help but she kept quiet because she didn't want to be in any trouble.

The other students then started fighting Ryujin as well, harassing her... They were starting to remove Ryujin's clothes.

"Hey!" Ryujin shouted as she was starting to get undressed by them.

"Stop it!!" Ryujin started crying, she was also getting beaten up by them.

Chaeryeong heard the other girl crying, she wanted to help so she had no choice.

"Yah!!" Chaeryeong shouted as she saw them. She noticed that the students who were bullying Ryujin came from their school.

"C-Chaeryeong" one boy got shocked, seeing the student president.

"What are you guys doing? Harassing a student??!? Do you want me to report this?!?" Chaeryeong asked in anger.

"S-sorry, umm, we'll leave now" they said and ran off.

Ryujin was left there crying but then, she got angry as well. She didn't want anyone to see her like this.

"Are you okay?" Chaeryeong asked as she tries to help Ryujin up.

"F*ck off" Ryujin said and sniffed. She grabbed her hoodie and then wore it once again.

"I was just trying to help you" Chaeryeong said as she was taken aback by the elder's response

"The try not to" Ryujin said and glared at Chaeryeong as she continued to walk back to her cousin's house.

Chaeryeong sighed, but she followed the girl. It annoyed Ryujin but she just kept mum, knowing that the girl would keep asking her questions.

"Can you just leave me alone" Ryujin said as she stops right in front of her cousin's house.

"As a student and as your classmate, I can't, knowing what just happened" Chaeryeong reasoned which made Ryujin groaned.

Ryujin rang to doorbell of the house and then it was opened by her cousin, Rosé

"Oh Ryujin-" Rosé was shocked to saw Ryujin in that state, her knuckles were bleeding and for sure she might has bruise somewhere else.

Without any hesitation, Rosé also let Chaeryeong in. Rosé noticed that Chaeryeong was a student as well. Chaeryeong explained what happened, Rosé got worried.

"Thank you for bringing her here Chaeryeong" Rosé said and Chaeryeong nodded with a smile. Chaeryeong left the house and went back to her place

"You should be careful next time Ryujin" Rosé scolded

"Be thankful that your friend was there to save you" Rosé said as she applies ointment on Ryujin's knuckles

"She's not my friend" Ryujin said and rolled her eyes

"Too bad, she will be, I asked her to keep an eye on you" Rosé said

"What!?!? unnie, you can't do that!" Ryujin said as she stood up

"I can, and I just did, now stop being stubborn" Rosé scolded her cousin

"Whatever" Ryujin said and ran up to her room, Rosé sighed.

"If they were only patient and considerate about Ryujin, she wouldn't be acting like this" Rosé said as she fixed the things and put it back where it was. She cooked dinner for her and Ryujin.

Ryujin got annoyed because she would need to be with the other girl everyday.

"My life just keeps getting worse" Ryujin says as she starts to play a game on her phone
