PART IV

New opening theme for the new season!~ Hope you'll like it. ❤️

Jeongyeon couldn't even hide how terrified she was after Jimin mentioned The Pharktom. On the other hand, Dahyun was confused. Jimin kept his serious facial expression which confirmed that he was not bluffing.

Jeongyeon: What? What was that?

Jimin: Am I right?

Dahyun: What is it? Can you at least give me a clue?

Jimin: Dahyun-ah, it's time for you to go back to your class.

Jeongyeon: You should go back too! *continued walking to the cafeteria*

Dahyun: Arasseo. Mianhae, unnie.*bowed and left*

Jeongyeon: You should leave too.

Jimin: Waeyo? Don't be righteous when you also left your class—not to mention—attacked a student in broad light.

That was right. Jeongyeon flinched upon remembering what she did just a few moments ago.

Jeongyeon: Well, I'm sure they'd understand once they see you harassing me.

Jimin: Am I? Really?

Jeongyeon: Ne. And once I get the suspension notice, you'll treat me to— you'll...

Jimin: Yes? Are you asking me out on a date just now?

Jeongyeon: It's a no.

Jimin: Are you that afraid of that Pharktom?

Jeongyeon: Please! Shut up! If you really know about him, you should know how dangerous he is.

Jimin: He doesn't even have a face, why would I be afraid?

Jeongyeon: You know what? I'll stand in line. Be useful and find a seat.

Jimin: Yes ma'am! *giggles and left to find a seat*

Jeongyeon: Tss. Very naive. And what if I just leave?

She was rolling her eyes when an emotionally damaging idea came into her mind. Once she made sure that Jimin was not looking in her direction, she swiftly moved and exited the cafeteria, leaving Jimin waiting for her.

It was not a good day for Jeongyeon. Firstly, since the confession from her nemesis, she felt people gossiping whenever she'd pass by them. Huh, deja vu, isn't it? She thought. Another thing was her anxiety whenever a class would end. She'd glance at the window and sigh in relief if she confirmed that Jimin wasn't coming. This, however, was noticed by Mina who hesitantly asked her while they were moving into another classroom.

Mina: Unnie? Are you alright? You- you seemed stressed.

Jeongyeon: Huh? Wae?

Mina: You were not focusing during our classes and kept on glancing at the windows.

Jeongyeon: Huh?
