Pre-sequel: I want to be yours

Unexpected turn

Jiyeon: Jahoon~ Can you help me with these things? I don't know what to do~

Jiyeon unnie whined and pouted while she leaned up against my side. She fluttered her eyelashes at me using her secret weapon which was being cute. But I do have to admit that Luda unnie could win against her. Have you seen that girl? I looked at Jiyeon unnie for a moment, trying not to laugh before I slowly nodded.

Librarian: Sssshhh!

Jiyeon & Jahoon: Sorry~

We quietly whispered before facing each other. I made a funny face to try and make her laugh which was almost a success. Jiyeon unnie bit her lips tightly and pinched me in the side.

Jahoon: Why did you do that?~

Jiyeon: That is for trying to make me laugh.

Librarian: Sssshhh!

Jiyeon & Jahoon: Sorry~

Luda unnie walked over to us and sat down across from us. She shook her head, looking at us in disbelief.

Luda: You guys are too much.

Jiyeon: Sorry that we aren't bookworms like you, Luda. You know that we can't sit still for a long time.

Jahoon: That wasn't nice unnie.

Luda: But she is speaking the truth, Jahoon. Don't worry. I know she doesn't mean it harshly. But what are you guys doing?

Jiyeon: Our teacher is sick today and the school forgot to find a substitute, so we have a free lesson. Jahoon wanted to study, so I just accompanied her but now I'm stuck on my own homework.

Luda: Let me help. I'm sure Jahoon is busy with her own work and I don't have anything to do.

Jiyeon: But-

Jahoon: Thank you Luda unnie. You came at the perfect timing since I have to go to the bathroom. I will be back in a moment.

I got up from my seat and made my way out of the library and to the bathroom. I got into a free stall, did my business, and walked out to wash my hands. As soon as I walked out of the bathroom, I was pushed against a wall by a group of guys and girls.

Boy1: I would advise you to not get near either Jiyeon or Luda ever again you freak.

Jahoon: And why that? And in what position are you in to say what I can do and cannot? Nothing.

The boy who just spoke punched me in my stomach, making me lean forward as the air left me.

Boy1: Don't you know who I am?! I can make your life miserable if I want to! I will make you regret that you were born, you freak!

Girl1: Yeah! Show her your power Minhyuk!

Girl2: No one wants to be with a girl who has a dick or acts manly at all! What a freak!

Minhyuk: Girls and boys should we show her what will happen if she doesn't listen to what we tell her to do?

The group: Yes! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!

The boy named Minhyuk took a step back with a smirk on his face and cracked his neck and fingers before beginning to launch punch after punch at me. Soon after the other guys began punching me too. There wasn't anybody around to help since everyone was in their classes and the people who passed by didn't really want to be caught in trouble, so they just acted like they didn't see anything. I didn't try to fight back since there were too many for me to fight back and I knew that whatever I tried to do it would only get worse. After they felt like they were finished, they all kicked me for one last time before leaving the miserable me left on the ground. I rolled around a bit in pain before I mustered the energy to stand up and made my way out of school and home the fastest as possible. Luckily my parents were out of town for a while taking Choerry with them and Hyejoo was still in school, so I would have time to cover up the bruises.

I was laying in my bed thinking about what happened today when I heard the doorbell ring. Weird. I wasn't expecting anyone and I knew that Hyejoo wouldn't be ringing the door since she had a key herself. I got up from bed with much pain and made my way downstairs to the monitor that was hanging on the wall to see who was visiting.

Jiyeon: Jahoon! I know you are in there! Luda and I came to give you your bag.

Right. I had forgotten everything about my bag as well as the fact that I had left Jiyeon unnie and Luda unnie hanging in the library.

Jahoon: Just leave it at the door unnie.

Luda: Why aren't you opening the door for us? And why did you leave school all of sudden? You are usually not like that.

I bit my lip as I didn't know what to answer. Even if I tried to lie, they would easily know.

Jahoon: I wasn't really feeling well and the school nurse told me it was best for me to return home and rest.

I coughed a bit and sniffed to try and cover up my lie. They didn't seem to believe it as they turned to face each other with skeptical looks on their faces. Luckily I was available to slip out of their questions as I could hear their mothers calling for them.

Luda: Guess we will see you tomorrow then Jahoon.

Jiyeon: Recover quickly Jahoon! We don't want to see you sick.

Jahoon: Of course, unnies *cough* See you tomorrow.

They finally left, making me available to breathe out comfortably. I stood there in my own thoughts until I heard the door open and Hyejoo walking inside the living room.

Hyejoo: You are already home unnie?

Jahoon: Yeah... I finished just not long before yours.

Hyejoo: That is why you didn't wait for me to go home together.

Jahoon: You are already old enough to go home alone.

Hyejoo: Still. Wait, unnie! What happens to your face?

Hyejoo tried to walk closer to me but I quickly backed away and stretched my arms in the air, acting like I was getting tired and yawned.

Jahoon: Oh my god, I'm getting tired! I think that I will go to bed now. Food is in the fridge.

I turned around and walked up the stairs to my room before plopping into the bed. What am I going to do now in school?
