ONCE UPON A FAMILY

CHAPTER 5: THREAT/CHEATING

CHAPTER 5:
Author’s P.O.V
After a very exhausting night, Xienyu bid goodbye to Jiyeon and she smiled at Xienyu, Jiyeon waved then walks towards her car. After that Xienyu changed her outfit then went to sleep. *ring* *ring* it’s already five in the morning, Xienyu yawned then took a glance at the clock, she then fixed her bed, after fixing her bed she went downstairs, bread, fried eggs, jam, peanut butter, and milk. Soobin did really prepare this morning, “you’re awake!” Eunseo said, “come join us!” Chengxiao invited, Xienyu nodded as a response to Chengxiao, each student in the dorm starts chatting about what happened yesterday, “that Gahyeon feel so weird, I don’t trust her” Eunseo said, “same, but let’s get to know her more before we judge” Seola said, everyone hummed in unison as a respond to Seola, of course, they really want to know more about the new student.

TIME SKIP
(AT SCHOOL)
It’s still the same feeling going to school and attending class, same old boring class on weekdays, but for Xienyu she found going to school is entertaining, Eunseo and Seola find it funny because what kind of student would be excited to go to school, school is like hell for them, but of course, Xienyu is different I guess? Only smart people would find it fun and exciting, yes stereotyping people again, but maybe something inspires her to be this excited to go to school, or she’s just really excited? Who knows?
TIME SKIP
(BREAK TIME)
Break time, everyone’s favorite time of the day, where people can communicate, eat and play, the siblings meet at the school hallway in front of Soobin’s classroom, they went together to the cafeteria, then buy a student meal, while getting her food, she noticed Meiqi is sitting alone again eating all by herself, Xienyu asked her sisters if can she sit next Meiqi and eat with her, gladly the girls allowed her, Xienyu walked towards Meiqi with a smile on her face, Meiqi noticed then gave Xienyu a small smile, “can I sit with you?’’ Xienyu asked, “sure…” Meiqi responded, the two chitchat together while eating, only Xienyu can summon Meiqi’s inner demon, the two laugh while talking about people they hate. Then, Gahyeon approached the two, Gahyeon gave Xienyu the look, Meiqi felt uncomfortable for her friend. After school, they did the same routine, eat, chat, sleep.

TIME SKIP
(THE NEXT DAY)
As usual, the members did their routine every day, nothing too special, after minutes of preparing the girls went to school altogether, they then parted ways after the school bell rang, when Xienyu was about to open her locker, she found a note, “NERDY BISCUIT” she read with her eyes, she felt uncomfortable, who would say that to her, then Gahyeon appeared out of nowhere smirking at Xienyu, she then walks towards Xienyu, Xienyu looked down and backs away from Gahyeon, “why? Do you feel uncomfortable seeing me here?” she asked, Xienyu looked right at her face and shake her head, Gahyeon smirked and then... “later meet me at the garden of the school’’ she whispered to Xienyu, she gulped and all she can do is nod as she was afraid on what could happen if she rejects Gahyeon’s request. Day by day the girls felt suspicious towards Xienyu and Gahyeon, she would pull Xienyu’s hair out of nowhere then tap her back way to hard, and make her trip, Seola can’t get enough of seeing it, “hey! Can you just stop? Aren’t you tired of doing the same thing towards Xienyu?” She asked with a tone of anger, Gahyeon chuckled then look towards Seola, “well she’s really important to me, she does whatever I ask her” she said, Xienyu looked down with an obvious panicked expression at her face, shaking, pulling her skin with her fingers, she felt anxious, “what did you do to her?” Seola asked while glaring at Gahyeon, “why don’t you tell her Xienyu?” she said then looked at Xienyu who’s in a state of panic and anxiousness, “Xien?” Seola said while looking at Xienyu, “for all this time she keeps telling me to make her tasks just to pass….” Xienyu said with her voice shaking, “I-I can’t believe you would do that?!” Seola said with a tone of disappointment in her voice, “you could’ve told the teachers about it” she added, “s-she would p-punch a-nd kick me if I would she said, Xienyu can’t help but cry in front of Seola, Gahyeon laughed on how Xienyu acted, “you’re smart, yet an idiot” Yein said towards Xienyu, then a loud slapping sound echoed in the hallway, Yein got slapped by Seola who got her sanity low whilst seeing crying because of this, “HOW DARE YOU TELL MY SISTER THAT?” Seola asked with a tone of anger, “why isn’t it true?” Yein responded smiling while touching her cheek. “don’t worry, I’m going to watch after you every day starting now” Seola said comforting Xienyu as Gahyeon’s group walk away from the two.
