Best Friends | Newjeans : Minji x Hanni

Chapter 13

Continuing their chat,

"May i ask you what exactly is going on between you and Minji Sunbae? The truth is, you two don't just seem like close friends." Danielle again asked as she couldn't contain her curiosity anymore.

"You are pretty good at making the right assumptions." Hanni bluntly replied.

"Hehe~ people tell me that often!" Danielle cheerfully replied.

Then, Hanni gets up from her seat, "I have lived in Minji's house since i was a child. Before, i lived in an orphanage, and they adopted me. Minji and i were friends until highschool." Hanni narrates her story and throws her soda can out of frustration from reminiscing her past life.

"Then why are you now pretending not to know each other?" Danielle innocently asked, curiosity got the best of her.

"That is because... Back then, i didn't hide the relationship i had with Minji. We were in the same class for three years. And i was always by her side, and so did she. I was so used to it, that i did not think that to others, it would seem strange." Hanni bitterly narrates.

[Flashback - After what seemed like a terrible pain, Hanni quickly rushed to the bathroom...

*Bam!!!

"Why does my stomach hurt so much this time!? Ugh!" Hanni holds her stomach as she heavily grunts.

She then closed the bathroom door to hide herself away, "I will have to asked the principal to change my medicine."

Then, some girls from her class entered.

"Did she really tell you that?" Said Kazuha.

"Ah! How amusing?" Joined Sullyoon.

Hanni quickly turns her head in fear of getting caught, while listening to their chit chats, "These are my classmates!"

"But Minji and Pham Hanni... Don't they seem suspicious?" Said the girl.

Hanni, who seemed to have heard their conversation freezed in shock.

"What?.... Suspicious?" Kazuha asked.

"Although they are best friends, they are too close. That's a bit weird." Sullyoon stated as she fixed her lipstick.

"Well! You like Minji. Are you just jealous of Pham Hanni?" Kazuha laughed, trying to calm the angry Sullyoon.

Sullyoon quickly blushed just from hearing Minji's name, but turns her head around, "How could...i...be jealous!? Stop speaking nonsense!"

"So, Sullyoon likes Kim Minji? No wonder she always chases her so much." Hanni thought to herself.

"Hmm... I think that Pham Hanni likes Minji. But she is still just a beta..." Sullyoon continued as she discussed the matter with her mean-girls friends.

"But hey, you know what i heard the other day? The teachers were talking about Pham Hanni in the teacher's lounge..." Wonyoung joined in , informing her other friends, "And they said Pham Hanni is not a beta. Rather, she's actually an omega and Minji's family picked her up from an orphanage." Wonyoung continued.

Hanni was shocked to death from hearing Wonyoung's words, but she had to remain silent for the time being.

"Wow! Are you sure? So, has she been lying to us all this time?" Kazuha asked.

"I don't think it's just a rumor if i heard it in the staff room." Wonyoung confidentally replied back.

*Badum....Badum.... Badum...Badum...
Hanni's heart was beating like crazy, she wished for someone to take her out from this place in an instant. Clenching her fist tightly was all she could do right now.
WHEN DID THE WORD START TO SPREAD?....
