"join my crew!" a boy around 5'8" yelled out, holding his hand out to the girl in front of him who was sitting down, pencil and paper in hand.

"no? what.." she raised a brow and curled her lip in confusion before frowning and turning her head back to her paper. the boy groaned and spaced out for a bit before coming back to reality.

"why not?" he asked, tilting his head as the girl slowly turned back to him and putting down her pencil as it clacked and rolled on the wooden table before dropping to the floor.

"because i said so.. you can't force me to do anything i don't want to do." she shrugged, her frown growing bigger as she furrowed her brows at him.

"oh yeah.. you're right. i apologize. i'll be going now, thank you for your time." he bowed to the girl, a frown transferring onto his face as he walked out and the two boys behind him follow him. one with tattoos giving the girl a dead stare as he followed behind his leader.

the sweaty girl walked out the locker room, school uniform on and a white towel slung around her neck as another girl ran towards her. "y/n! wait up!" she yelled, as she attempted to catch up with the girl. "seulhi, chill out. you know i'm not just gonna run away from you right after running the track." she yawned, checking her wristwatch as seulhi rolled her eyes at her while they entered the classroom together. it was still empty, other than the same three boys from earlier waiting for her once more at her desk.

he slowly got down on his knees while taking a deep breath before yelling once more, "WILL YOU PLEASE JOIN MY CREW!" he clenched his fists tightly, head down in shame as tears began to form in his lowered eyes in embarrassment.

y/n sweat dropped, scratching her neck before sighing.

"alright, just get up. this is embarrassing for yourself..."

a few days later
how did y/n exactly get into this situation? just by agreeing to joining suhyeon's crew. just a few minutes ago, her and the crew had walked into the gangbuk pool hall to recruit the leader and now she's stuck watching her "leader" getting his ass kicked.

"join your crew? you're messing with me right?" the girlish pool hall leader scoffed, cracking her knuckles. "i see what's going on here. you're here to mock me because i'm only ranked 49th in north gangbuk," she stretched her arms out more while staring down at suhyeon. "and all i do is watch a little pool hall?"

"you wench! how dare you ambush suhyeon like that!" hyeondong screamed out, leaping towards the leader before getting roughly punched across the face repeatedly and flying back.

"i'm a guy." the owner said while beating hyeondong.

"such incredible speed... i've never seen a girl move so quickly in a fight..." hyeondong fell to his knees, holding his poor face in the palms of his hands as he completely ignored the owner's previous statement.

"i said i'm a guy."

kuja came out of the shadows, lowering his head down as he spoke. "you underestimated her hyeondong. even though she is a woman, she is also a warrior. i shall be your opponent." as the boy with glasses was preparing to fight, someone stood up and spoke.

"no kuja, let me deal with this."

suhyeon got up from the dirty floor, and began to feel his cheek. "are you certain suhyeon?" kuja asked in uncertainty and in concern for his friend and leader.

"that was my first time.. being kicked in the face by a girl," he smiled as he held in red cheek weirdly. y/n's mouth dropped open at his statement, taking a good step back from the scene.

the pool hall leader began to clench his jaw in anger, beginning to swing as suhyeon but he weaved before he could get touched. the leader's eyes widened in shock as he dodged. "nice to meet you," suhyeon threw a straight at the leader who dodged it, "i'm tank top suhyeon."

suhyeon's eyes then also widened, "she dodged that? that's so cool... and hot!" he thought in his head. he began to turn his body to the side, using a spinning back kick to attempt to knock out the leader but he once again dodged it with ease.

at this point, y/n was beginning to get exhausted just by watching the fight and some of the bystanders at the pool hall were surrounding and bothering her. her brows were furrowed and she had a big frown on her poor face as she got frustrated from all the boys. "god damn it, can you guys shut up!" she screamed at them, kicking three of the boys in front of her to the wall, knocking them out. before the other boys could even begin speaking, she started to knock them out one by one with ease and without breaking any sweat. she sighed and wiped her hands on her school sweats that were under her uniform skirt.

the fight between "haru" the pool leader and suhyeon had kept going on as y/n beat down the bystanders. he began spewing the same bs he told y/n about joining his crew, and blah blah blah. haru repeatedly refusing to join suhyeon, just like y/n had just a few days ago which made her laugh quite a bit.

suhyeon slumped over haru, appearing to knock out onto him, before he grabs his waist and slams haru onto the cold hard floor. suhyeon bends down to harus ear as he lays on the floor, "haru seong. just give up already. you can't escape me."

"where am- oh," the red haired boy sat up from the bed of desks, looking around at his surroundings.

"don't get up yet." hyeondong said, holding a needle to a lighter for a random reason. y/n sat on a chair on the opposite side of hyeondong, closely starting at haru. the two made eye contact before haru looked up at who was by the window.

"this is west gangbuk high. you passed out and we had to carry you over here," suhyeon said, creepily standing by the open window and staring out into the sky as the curtains waved side to side from the wind outside. "remember, you lost the fight. as per terms of our bet, you're a part of my crew now." suhyeon recalled.

"no thanks. i refuse. who cares about a stupid bet?" haru scoffed, walking over to the exit doors of the classroom. "you really won't join my crew?," suhyeon turned around from the window, facing haru and walking towards him. "this is all for your own good." he eerily said, his vibe changing drastically. he began to question haru, trying to persuade him to join the crew by making everything bigger in haru's mind to convince the poor red head.

"if you join my crew-"

"fine." haru finally agreed, turning around to face suhyeon on the other side of the room. "you owe me for this, but you can cash it in later."

suhyeon hugged haru tightly, with haru trying to get the boy off of him but failing. as suhyeon let go, haru began to rub his wrist. he began to explain that they will be in trouble now, since suhyeon had attacked north gangbuk territory but suhyeon claimed everything was "under control".

"anyway, haru, you need to fight with us in disguise!" suhyeon said, as y/n finished touching up harus hair, tightening the red ribbon she had gave him and applying more powder to his pale face. she crossed her arms across her chest and nodded in accomplishment, mentally giving herself a pat on her back.

haru yelled in protest, "this isn't a disguise! you're just making me look like a girl!" he tugged on his ponytail slightly before y/n slapped his hand and put it down. suhyeon left, leaving hyeondong, haru, and y/n in the same room together. hyeondong quickly followed behind suhyeon, saying he was going to guard the bathroom for him just in case. haru and y/n just sat down with each other awkwardly before y/n said,

"hahaha, i guess we're both in the same predicament now..," she awkwardly laughed and smiled, rubbing the back of her neck and looking away from haru.
