Entering the school grounds the front gardens were oddly empty, only a few groups remained outside despite the warm weather. Nearing the main entrance you notice a large number of people crowding in one area of the hallway, much yelling and cheering emerged from the mess. 

Rushing over quicker you try your best to push past people in order to see what all the commotion is. "Come on Sae-Byeok! is that all you got?" Oh no, you could hear your ex yelling at none other than your ex-best friend; 'lovely two people who hate me are fighting' you think to yourself. After discovering the two involved you only tried harder to get to the middle however the more you pushed people the more they pushed back, interfering with your balance. 

Finally making it to the front you stare in horror, Sae-Byeoks nose dripped blood, and her usual smug smirk tugs at her lips as she wipes away the blood on her lip. Looking over at your ex they don't seem as bashed up as Sae but they still don't look great, a split lip and bruises already forming. They both look exhausted yet neither of them looks like they are backing down any time soon.

"What's happening?" You ask the girl next to you. "Ji-Won was talking shit about some girl, pissed Sae-Byeok off," They tell you, their attention fixated on the fight. Ji-Won slams Sae-Byeoks head into a locker, and Sae-Byeok falls to the ground clearly drained. Sae-Byeok looks up at her, her eyes staring into her soul, if a look could kill Ji-won would be dead.

"You fucking bitch" She spits before pulling herself off the ground and jumping at Ji-Won, getting some good hits at Ji-Wons face before two teachers finally intervene and pull them apart, dragging them past the crowd and to the principles office.

Sae-Byeok looks around at the crowd when walking, spotting you almost immediately and shielding her eyes from you. As everyone else begins to move away, breaking off into gossip groups to discuss what just happened you remain where you are trying to figure out if you had something to do with this fight or not. 

The rest of the day continued on as perusal, and rumours spread around the school like wildfire. "I heard that they were fighting over Y/n" "No Ji-Won was saying something about Sae-Byeok I heard her" "Not true, it started because of something that happened with their families" Everyone had their own suspicions about it and you had zero answers which irritated you.

On your walk home you decided to contact Sae-Byeok, it had been a minute since the two of you stop talking. It was when you made friends with the 'popular' kids and when you first started dating Ji-Won that your friendship with her broke and you hadn't talked since.

Y/n: Can you meet me at my house this afternoon? We need to talk.
Sae-Byeok: Sure I guess.
Y/n: Thanks, see you then.

You had always assumed that Sae-Byeok hated you which is why you never contacted her, Too scared to know the real reason things ever ended. Before anything Sae-Byeok and you were best of friends, you did everything together and when your friendship was no more it left you feeling empty and lost.

You hear a soft knock on your front door and rush down the stairs to open it, part of you was nervous and another was excited. Sae awkwardly stood outside, her hands shoved into her pockets and her head hung low. It was certain her cuts hadn't been cleaned properly and they were already starting to scar over. 

"Hey" You smile at her softly "Hey" she answers, no emotion in her voice. "My parents are still at work so it's just us," You tell her as she walks into your house, taking her shoes off at the door. 

You take a deep breath and walk over to her, both hands gripping either side of her face as you examine the injuries. She watches you in confusion "Jesus, She got you good huh? Come on" You take her hand into yours and drag her to your bathroom, pulling the first-aid kit from one of your shelves.

She takes a seat on the edge of your bathtub while you stand in between her legs, applying disinfectant to the cuts to clean them. She hisses as the antiseptic touches her cool skin and you instantly apologize, "it's fine" Her voice is strained as she tries to hide the pain. 

"You want to tell me what happened?" You ask her, not caring about any other past history "It doesn't matter it's over- Ow!" She complains as you move to the cut on her lip. "Sorry, look I know something started that fight and I know that if you don't talk about it you're just going to bottle it up inside and it will end up doing more damage. now just tell me!" You are stern with your reply. Staring into her eyes as you wait for her to speak.

"Why would you care anyway?" She looks away from you "Because I care about you Sae-Byeok, I have known you for years" you grab a small bandaid and concentrate as you put it on her head. 

"Ji-Won was calling you names, saying that you are a 'pathetic bitch with no life' and shit like that. I don't know I guess I just got angry and wanted to shut her up" Sae-Byeok sighs "you didn't have to do that" You calmly answer "Do what?" She questions "Stick up for me, you can just ignore her trust me it doesn't bother me" You move away from her and search around the first-aid kit for something. "It should! You shouldn't just let her say that stuff about you it's not fair" She's getting riled up, angry.

"I'm used to it, she was never a great girlfriend anyway so I should have seen it coming" Your emotion doesn't change, not wanting to start some sort of argument between you and Sae-Byeok. "So why did you date her!?" Sae-Byeok asks in frustration "Because I needed someone, I wanted someone to comfort me, to love me" You look at her hoping she understands why... she doesn't.

"You had me! What was I not enough!?" She stands up, her temper has gotten worse "You were. you are it's just- Being comforted by a friend is one thing and being comforted by a partner is another and I wanted that" You inform her, taking a few steps closer and trying to calm her down. "So why didn't you just date me, why did you date that bitch when I made it obvious that I wanted more with you for years!?" She yells, instantly regretting what she said. I stare at her in shock.

"I didn't mean it like that. I mean that i-" "You liked me?" You interrupt her, she stares at the ground, fiddling with her fingers "Sae-byeok" Your voice fades to a whisper, and you step closer to her, a hand moving to her cheek "Why didn't you tell me?" You ask her, squinting your eyes in confusion "Because I knew you didn't feel the same way" She says, sounding almost ashamed.

You don't say anything, instead, you pull her into a loving kiss. She is still for a second but you soon feel her kiss you back, her lips are rough yet gentle, her hands wrapping around your waist pulling you close to her as yours wrap around her neck. You quickly pull away and move yourself to the other side of the room, "I'm so sorry I don't know what came over me" You apologize, you look at her, a glimpse of hope in her eyes. 

"I've always liked you Y/n and I'm always going to fight for you, no matter what" she looks like she might cry, you give her a soft smile before running back to her, pulling her into a tight hug. "You're a freak Sae-Byeok" There is a long pause before you continue "But your my freak" You stay held tight in each other's arms, both refusing to let go. 

Sae-byeok and you spend the rest of the night talking things out, you invited her to stay the night so you could talk more and it ended with you held in her arms as you drifted off to sleep.
