#13 An Unfortunate Surprise

Seungcheol's POV:

"Cheol, calm down." If it wasn't for Nayeon comforting me right now, I would've exploded two times stronger than the bomb that happened an hour ago.

"What happened?!" Out of nowhere, someone suddenly barged in the door, creating a thunderous sound that astonished all of us. Jeongyeon was supposed to be excused, but she came here because of a certain reason: the stupid explosion.

"These two little hard-headed people sneaked out of our hideout and went to a shop that was ready to kill them." Sana and Jun widened their eyes out of disbelief. Really? The audacity to react when they're the ones who broke the rules.

"It was my fault okay. Leave Sana out of here." Jun stated, which made the girl to look at him with awe.

"Are you guys okay?" Jeonghan, who came along with Jeongyeon finally muttered.

"Certainly, we are. But I need to tell you something." I stared at Jun, as my anger starts to tone down. His statement is something that I want to learn about. There is just something in it.

"Actually, everything was peaceful inside the shop. Not until a guy in all black appeared and placed the bomb."

"What's your point?" Chan asked and all of the people inside the room became more attentive.

"He probably knows us. He wouldn't place the bomb right after we entered the shop if we're not his target. Maybe he's part of the group that you and Nayeon once encountered." As much as I still want to be vexed at Jun, I can't deny the fact that it make sense.

"Oh, really?" Nayeon's eyes widened.

"How do you say so?" Dang, my pride isn't letting me easily fool myself. Or maybe, my pride just don't want to hear his reasons because everyone believes that everything that comes out of my mouth is right. Maybe I can't accept defeat after all.

"As far as we know, no one's chasing us rather than them. We may be clueless of who they are and I don't know if what I'm saying is exactly true, yet I can just feel it." Jun's eyebrows slowly crumpled as his veins appeared while speaking with dedication. Adding a little politician aura.

"You always prioritize your feelings hyung. It's better to stick with factual informations. You know why? Because facts are proven while your feelings are still pending and undecided." Right after talking in his own podium, Mingyu responded at Jun's statement.

"Burn!" Seungkwan said as all of them teased Jun, mainly the boys.

Mingyu is right, but Jun also has a point. I know that we should always prioritize facts, but feelings are like a backup plan. We're not assured that our decisions are always right, and that's where feelings enter. To make us think twice and refresh our minds with a tad of support. Feelings came from our senses, and senses are influenced by what is happening around us. In other words, we should follow our heart.

"Both of your statements are reasonable. We stick to facts, but we shouldn't also be careless. To make things safe, let's treat everything as a threat."

Chaeyoung's POV:

"Can I spill something?" Jeongyeon hesitantly muttered.

"What is it?"

"A guy in all black was following me earlier too." She added.

"Where?" All of us looked at her attentively.

"At school. It creeps me out but luckily, Jeonghan was there." It made Seungcheol oppa more confused. Maybe, Jun is right. They may be the same group to as Nayeon's in the past.

"If they started with Jeongyeon and continued it with Sana, it means that they'll carry on with the rest of the girls." I shivered from the thought of it. That's freaking terrifying.

"Okay, I have a plan."

"What plan hyung?" Lee Chan asked.

"You'll know it when it already happens."

That's another set of additional information that was discussed yesterday. Gosh, my head is aching. What plan is Seungcheol oppa pertaining to?

Letting my thoughts slide, I thought that I would be fine but no. Just as I was about feel normal, my head was shot with extra pain. I stopped from moving, as I was disoriented.

"We have a new student for this school year. His name is Lee Chan. Welcome!"

Am I hearing things right? Am I seeing things right?

I was in the method of processing things and putting it in its place when Chan decided to sit beside me.

"What are you doing here?" I whispered with annoyance and confusion.

"Yah, this is Seungcheol hyungs plan. He said you guys will be safer if we'll transfer school." He whispered likewise.

*Bang!*

I closed my locker with so much force that I don't know if I can open it again. I don't know where Tzuyu is since we're just in the same class, and that just adds up to my anger right now.

"Geez, you're the exact definition of small but terrible." Chan said. Good, now my anger keeps piling up nonstop!

I held my notebook tightly and tried my best not burst out.

"Chan, what are you even doing here?"

"I told you earlier. It's an order from Seungcheol hyung to keep you safe." He retorted with a smile. Geez, I'm so sick of his face. There's not a day that I didn't saw him.

"What I mean is, why are you literally sticking by my side? Can you just shoo off or something?" I suggested the best and the most possible way for him to do around here.

"Again, Seungcheol hyung said to work with our partner. Have you forgot that you're my partner? Ofcourse not. So, you can't do anything about it." I groaned out of frustration. I don't know why.

"Tsk. Why do you exaggerate too much? You like like a dying fish or something. You know, the ones that are catching air. They move too much and their eyes bulges two times than usual." My gaze slowly landed on his. He didn't looked at me until I have him my darkest glare.

"Hey, it was just a joke. Don- hey!" Before he said anything else, I threw the notebook that I'm holding earlier as he bent down and avoided my attack. I threw it with such force that afterwards I became, guilty.

"Shoot Chaeyoung!" Chan went beside as we both froze from our spot. Goodness gracious, why did it flew to the teacher instead of him?!

"Chae, Chan, you guys are here." I flinched when Mina and Wonwoo appeared beside us.

"Who did that?!" The teacher looked back, raging with fires and flames surrounding her.

"I-it's the t-two of them!" Chan pointed out the pair who got no idea what just happened.

"Y-yeah it's th-them!" My adrenaline was high so I did likewise.

"Wait, w-what?"

"Detention!"
