Chapter 5- A New Kind

#No beta we die like men?😜

It have become a routine for him now to be seen walking around the street wirh Yuna. One day, it is when he just entered the class tiredly that a whisper of someone's conversation instantly woken him up from his slumb. He peered over to listened carefully, and it is clear. Their eyes were all on him as they talked about him trying to build up his popularity by becoming friends with Yuna. Gosh, even their attitude digusted him.

"Sunoo!" Jaeyun waved at him from the distant like a golden retriever wiggling it hand to it friend. But Sunoo was too lost in the battle to be responding. His curious gazes a minute ago morphed into a pairs of sharp glares and he took 4 steps closer to the group that are still muttering into each other's ears. One of them noticed Sunoo's presence and she nudges her friends to eyed him.

A girl turned around, "W-What?"

Sunoo scoffed and he crossed his arms over his chest, "W-What?" He sneered at her. "Why stuttering now Miss girl? And what? Building up my popularity my ass". Sunoo sensed every eyes stuck on him now and he is thankful for that because now he is about to bring up noises and fun. The corner of his lips curled up as he took another step closer, causing that one to stumbled back. They both not breaking eye contacts and the more he stared into her eyes, he saw pathetic in them. "Cat got your tongue?"

And that is when someone break into their tension and he groaned in frustration seeing Jay barging in. He tries to uttered another word to the other yet Jongseong suddenly blocked his way and he almost knocked the back of his head not until he catches a glimpse of another familiar head leaning into the girl's shoulder, startling her and her groups they screamed.

It was Yuna and the reaction bring a chuckle out of her, "Gosh, this is so funny Jay ah!" She pointed to them and Jongseong smirked while nodding along with her.

He suddenly feels... safe. Sunoo isn't frightened that he and Jongseong are inches away from each other with his back facing him, he feels like Jongseong is a human shield protecting him. And when he glances over to Yuna towering over the group of girls, he also found comfort. Are they doing this for me? It's amazed him because he is now admiring these two because of how strong they are, of how unafraid they are to stood up even for someone they don't even know.

No, it isn't always the nasty rumors he heard about them. He did hear one good thing of them from someone he passed by while waiting for the lunch lady to prepped the food on his tray.

"Yuna is actually...nice— it is not like that Giselle!" She lowered her voice once she realized she is stuck between a line right now and Sunoo pretended that he isn't silently observing their chitchat. "Yesterday on my way back, I was getting catcalls by a group of people". Her voice saddened and he also find himself feeling guilty out of nowhere though it isn't his fault. "Then boom.. Yuna appeared and the next thing I knew is me running away with her.."

"Pfft no way? You and her?!"

"Yes! You know violence isn't always an answer to everything so that is why she dragged me along with her". She snickered at the memory. "I ended up getting scolded back home though because I arrived way too late.."

"Because of what? Did she threaten you?!"

She groaned annoyingly at her friend. "What did I tell you? And no, we were having a late night talk while eating scones".

"No fucking way".

"Yes fucking way". The line finally moved and the duo slides over to the next stall. "Anyway, just don't believe all those shit. She even told me to be careful next time and walked me back home".
