chapter fifteen.

Those maybe minor bad things that happened just had to be a coincidence. Arya couldn't even believe that whoever was behind it go to work so quickly, they even went as far to grab or destroy belongings that mattered to those involved.

She was stressed yet she told no one. She couldn't. Not when she was also being threatened daily with her own notes, not when she was behind on so much schoolwork and had to catch up.

Arya vowed to tell them at some point, maybe today.

It was finally the weekend and she deserved a break from the schoolwork that was melting her brain.

Arya got all dolled up, kind of, as today she was going to hang out with the boys. Those threats had to be empty and there's no way things were already happening because she wasn't listening, right?

Arya wore her black knit top that was off-shoulder and well-fitted denim jeans. She was nervous to say the least; she just couldn't get rid of the feeling that something was going to happen today.

It must've been in her head. She brushed off the feeling before putting on her shoes and adjusting her lavender bag. The car outside honked multiple times before she came out, telling them to quite literally shut up.

Jay was kind enough to ask his chauffeur to drive them today and his chauffeur may or may not be happy with the arrangement, but he was getting paid extra so did he really care? No.

She walked out, finding Heeseung at the driver window and actually pressing on the steering wheel to honk. The poor chauffeur sat in the car as chaos was already going on.

Their trip today was located in Seoul! They've never been to the city side before so why not? Arya was just excited to go shopping with Jake and Sunoo, who have recovered from their mishap.

Jungwon was sitting with Niki, goofing off in the backseat. Jay and Heeseung were discussing something. Arya was left with Sunghoon which, by the way, was the most awkward situation she could ever have in her life.

He cleared his throat, causing her to look at him with a weird expression on her face. "So how are you?" Sunghoon asked timidly, giving her a crooked smile. She just blinked before replying, "Yeah, I'm good. What about you?"

"I could be better if I'm being honest."
"Oh right, I heard about what happened with your applications. Maybe you should try changing your passwords to everything?"
"Every time I do, Saemi is demanding for the passwords. I feel like she doesn't trust me."

Arya pursed her lips together, pondering quietly. It was indeed strange that Saemi was "demanding" for passwords. Throughout her entire life knowing Saemi, she was never one to even ask for it.

But people change and maybe this happened to be one of them.

"That sucks. I'm sorry to hear that."

The group got out of the car, buzzing with excitement. Jay told the chauffeur to be back in Seoul at 8:30pm before hitting the top of the car and joining the group.

"Holy cow," Sunoo gasped staring at the bustling streets and different shops located next to each other, "This place is like... heaven!"

Jake immediately smacked Sunoo's shoulder who yelped in surprise. "THERE'S AN ICE CREAM SHOP!" Jake exclaimed, pointing at the ice cream shop that was right in front of them.

Sunoo gasps dramatically, turning to the group with excited eyes.

"No Sunoo," Jay sighed, "You need to eat actual food before having dessert." Sunoo sulks, crossing his arms over his chest as he moves next to Heeseung.
