Chapter 3

"Eom Hyeri."

"Hi Jieun!" Hyeri said smiling as if nothing had ever happened.

"Why are you smiling?" I asked crossing my arms as I looked at her.

"Because you're my best friend of course, and best friends forgive each other right?" she said.

...

......

...

"I guess..." I muttered. There was nothing I could really do to her anyways since she was always and had been a fast runner. She could get away too easily.

"Anyways, what happened with the guys before? I heard they showed up and you ran away?"

"Yea, so?" I asked, taking some books out of my locker. "Well...you know the guy you punched...?"

"Punched? Did I punch him?" Hyeri asked, thinking. "Oh wait...maybe...did I? Oh yes...I remember now. He was blocking my way so I punched him in the face..."

...

Now she tells me...

...

"What about him?" she asked, looking at me. "Too bad, he was kinda cute..."

"He's angry at you and wants to kill you," I said, closing the locker.

"You mean he wants to kill you right?" Hyeri asked, smiling.

...

"No...they recognized that it wasn't me," I said smiling at her. "I'm not the one in trouble now."

Hyeri stopped in her tracks. "What?"

"They know it's not me."

"How?! It was your ID they picked up when I ran away! How could it not—" her voice faded out as soon as she realized what she was saying.

Actually...I haven't thought about that myself...but still, that guy who called out my name knew it was me right? He told his friend that I wasn't that girl...

How did he know anyways? Maybe he just noticed that Hyeri and I look different...

Oh well...it's not my problem anymore...I'm free.

"I don't care. As long as they don't know it's me, I'm fine," I said smiling.

"Can I borrow your ID again? I need to go into—" Hyeri suddenly stopped. "Why is your face so sour?"

"Hyeri...you don't have my ID?" I asked slowly.

"I told you before. I dropped it and those guys took it...ehhh...you didn't get it back from them did you?" she asked meekly.

"No..." I said softly.

"Wow, you're taking it so calmly. They know where you live, your name, your age, your weight—" Hyeri stopped suddenly. "Oh...that's not good is it...? Why are you so calm?"

"Because I just thought how I'm going to get it back," I said, smiling at her.

"How?"

"What school do they go to?"

"TaeDo High, why?"

TaeDo high?! That was where Jimin went...

"Because we are going there right after school to get my ID back!" I said, pulling on her arm so she couldn't escape.

"Jieun! You're making me go back there?! Why can't you go alone?! They already know it's not you!" Hyeri whined as she tried to break my grip.

"You're coming with me not matter what!" I said. "You owe me!!!"
