[Myah]

"Yeah. I just saw her having a hard time tidying up after their practi--"

"Uh-huh, more like you were actually waiting for her to finish" I cut her off, earning a slap from her "Oh shut up! I wasn't!"

"But as I was saying, I decided to help her and after we finished, she just came up to me, kissed me on the cheek and said 'ありがとう、ルアンちゃん' and left. Just like that!"

"Gay bitch"

"Motherfu-- UNNIE!" I exclaim, making the taller girl smirk playfully "Hehe~ Sorry not sorry~" She sticks out her tongue "Put that back in or else I'm biting it off" She complies

"Well, anyways, I'm gonna go now. Mom's calling" Ruan unnie raises her phone, 'Mom' displayed on the screen "I'll see you two tomorrow!" She says, running off, answering the call in the meantime

"So... Myah..."

"Mm" I look up at her, her smile soft and small

Beautiful...

"How come you ditched Yeseo earlier? It's not really something you'd do" She tilts her head to the side

Right, I forgot about that

"Actually, Mao unnie and Suyeon unnie asked me to eat with them before I got to Yeseo, and so as to not make them feel bad, I agreed" I lie "Though, I did decided to drag in my cousin just for fun" I add

"Ohh~ I see, I see. How was lunch with them, then?" She asks "Chaotic" I make a tired face "Oh? How so?"

"Mao unnie kept laughing at the other unnies' jokes that she ended up choking on her food!" Though, it really isn't a lie this time. Mao unnie did choke on her food

"I- That's actually a very Mao thing to do" She says, pondering over the thought "Yeah! And Suyeon unnie even joked about how funny Shana unnie looked when she was trying to push Chanty unnie into the library for her tour!"

Another truthful statement. Nice one, Son

"No way! AHHAHAHA Suyeon unnie's a literal crackhead! I even saw her being dragged away by Suhyeon unnie and Siyoon unnie a few minutes ago!" She laughs out, making me laugh with her

"RIGHT?! She must've done something stupid!"

"YEAH AND LI-- Oh- Youngeun just texted me to meet up" She says, showing me her phone. I feel my throat tighten

Fuck. Not right now. Not in front of her...

"Oh! That's alright! You can actually go now, Hyeju unnie's gonna be picking me up anyways" I shrug, Hiyyih unnie giving me a worried look

"Are you sure? Want me to stay for a bit? Just until Hyeju unnie arrives?" She offers but I decline quickly "No need, unnie. Now go on, I'm sure Youngeun unnie has a surprise for you" She sighs, knowing she can't convince me otherwise

"Fine. But be careful, okay?" I nod as she finally runs off

She really loves you, Youngeun unnie... Keep her happy for me. I'll be gone soon

"Myah. Blood" I look to my side to see Hyeju unnie holding out a box of tissues "Huh? Oh. Thanks" I say as I wipe off the blood and go to the nearby faucet, letting out the flowers that had settled at the back of my mouth

"Myah, are you gonna tell her or not?"

"No. Knowing her, she'll start blaming herself once I pass"

"But My-"

"Hyeju unnie, please. Just let me let her be happy" I pause, washing off the blood "She's found her true love. I don't want her to lose it" I add, making the pain in my chest worsen

"Myah, do you really want what happened to Kokoro unnie a year ago to happen to you?"

"No..." I glance down at the bracelet Kokoro unnie had made for me last year "But I'm willing to go walk the same path if it means Hiyyih unnie will be happy with the person she loves. She deserves to be happy..." I add, remembering how she was treated by others in the past

[5 years ago]

"Guys, look! It's the ugly goat!" Jinseok calls out to the class, standing all arrogantly above Hiyyih unnie who's on the floor "Jinseok, stop it!" I grab his arm only to be pushed off onto the ground by Kyungwan "Shut up, freak!"

"Freaks like you and your friends don't deserve to breath the same air as we do. Especially this stupidly ugly goat right here" Jinseok laughs out, kicking Hiyyih unnie who's helplessly lying on the ground. The other kids just laugh

Why are you all laughing? Help her!

I want to help her myself but I can't, not with Kyungwan's foot on my back. It hurts...

Please! Someone please help Hiyyih unnie!

As I stare at her crying figure, a girl approaches Jinseok "Well well well, if it isn't my precious cousin, Seo Youngeun" He smirks "Want to have a hit at this goat?" She nods

No! Please stop! She's bleeding already!

The girl raises her leg, hovering just above Hiyyih unnie

No... Please...

She kicks. But not at Hiyyih unnie...

"WHAT THE HECK YOUNGEUN?!" Jinseok yells out, gripping onto his stomach

"That's punishment for bullying, Seok" She glares at him, helping up Hiyyih unnie at the same time "You okay?" Hiyyih unnie nods, thanking her

"Choi Kyungwan"

Before I could even process what else she said, Kyungwan's weight on my back was gone as he was already in front of her, kneeling and begging

"I'm sorry, unnie! I won't do it again, I promise you! I'll pay for their lunch and everything for the rest of the school year!" He begs, keeping his head on the ground

As he and Youngeun (is that her name?) are talking, Hiyyih unnie runs to me "Myah! Are you okay? Are you hu-"

"Why would I ask me that when you're the one bleeding...!" I cry out, gripping onto her shirt as she rubs my back "I'm fine, Myah..."

"No you're not! Look at you! You have bruises all over!" I managed to speak, my voice shaking "Myah..."

"They're over here Ms. Joohyun!"

"Yeah! They were even kicking Hiyyih unnie!"

"Yeah! We came to call you as fast a we could!"

Yeseo unnie. Chaeyun unnie. Sein unnie...

"Choi Jinseok! Choi Kyungwan! You two are coming with me to the office right this instant!" Ms. Joohyun yells "Seungwan, Yerim, take those two to the clinic" She calmly adds, walking off with the boys being held by the colar like dogs

"Come now, you two" Ms. Yerim says gently as she and Ms, Seungwan help us up "Let's get those wounds and bruises treated, yeah?" Ms. Seungwan tries to comfort us "Mm.."

"I'm not gonna let Hiyyih unnie experience that ever again for the rest of her life, unnie" I look up at my wolf-like older sister with determination

"Never"
