"just give me your wallet, kid," a senior growled, launching a forceful kick at the defenseless boy's stomach. instantly, the victim doubled over, groaning in pain.
"i told you i needed the money for vape juice!!!" he screamed through his smoker lungs.
having witnessed countless acts of bullying within the confines of sm university, rina had grown accustomed to intervening. the weight of guilt bore heavily upon her, and she could never bear the thought of silently observing injustice like a bystander.
"hey! what do you think you're doing? leave him alone!" rina crossed her arms instinctively as she confronted the senior, recognizing him as jiwoong. the victim, lee jeno, was of the same age as her brother.
jiwoong shamelessly checked rina out, his lips parting to release a sleazy comment. "well, well - who do we have here? you look smoking hot, miss."
unfazed, she shot him a disgusted look. "have you forgotten your manners, you perverted boy?" she hissed, her voice laced with contempt.
turning her attention to jeno, rina's demeanor softened. she reached out, gently patting the frightened boy's head, her face etched with concern.
"jeno, are you okay?" the boy was still trembling.
"if i find so much as a bruise on him, i'll get you expelled. i won't hesitate to inform my mother." fury ignited within her as she swung her bag in the air, repeatedly striking the senior's face with all her might.
"ouch! i'm gonna have to go- aww! aww!" jiwoong winced in pain.
"such a pussycat, can't even handle my handbag. good thing it's not a designer one. ugh! he doesn't deserve to be slapped with a freaking birkin!" rina clenched her fists and then crouched down to retrieve jeno's eyeglasses from the marble flooring.
"here, take these," rina handed jeno his eyeglasses.
"t-thank you. are you perhaps donghyuck's sister?" jeno dusted off his pants. he had been cornered by the stairs by jiwoong, and if rina hadn't intervened, he would have suffered a severe beating.
"yeah! wait, let me check you," rina said.
"can you stand up?"rina offered her arm, and jeno limped alongside her until they reached the nurse's office.
"nooo! the clinic is empty. the school nurse must be on a break," rina exclaimed.
"aaaaaa, what should we do?" the girl shuffled her feet nervously.
"does it unlock?" jeno asked.
"huh?"
"the door," he clarified.
"oooh, it does!"
with a twist of the doorknob, the two entered the small clinic of the university.
"for a university this size, it sure has a tiny clinic," she mumbled.
"would you lie down for me, jeno?"
"oh, okay-aww," he winced, clutching his stomach.
"oh my gosh, does it hurt that much?" she held the hand that gripped his aching stomach.
"do you mind if i lift up your shirt just a bit? to see if there are bruises" she asked him innocently.
jeno gulped and nodded, lifting up his shirt, revealing the big bruise that started to turn purple from the impact of jiwoong's hit.
"oh my gosh! that looks awful" but nice abs by the way, she refrained herself from saying those thoughts out loud. okay self control queen.
"he's so done. that senior is so done"
rina stood up and grabbed an ice pack from the mini-fridge and placed them on the bruise. "hold this for me, i'm gonna find the ointment."
"it's so sad that im so familiar with what first aid to do for these kind of situations", rina sighed.
"i saved a girl last week, my hero complex is acting up", she continued.
"the amount of bullying here is concerning."

"thank you rina", jeno flashed her his famous eye smile.
"you remind me of a dog", she giggled.
"huh", jeno gave her a confused look.
"a samoyed, my grandma had one when i was a kid!", she explained excitedly. "he was one big, adorable, marshiemallow fluff!"
"ahhhh, that one", he blushed for being compared with such a cute dog breed.
"uhmmmm, wait!", he suddenly reaches for her wrists.
"before you leave, can i like- get your number please? i want to invite you to my birthday next week heheh", he purses his lips shyly, letting go of her wrists.
"sure!", she hands him her phone.
"there you go!", jeno quickly punched in his number.
"i'll text you the details! byebye, see you and thank youuu", he dragged the word out longer.
"awww, i will! and don't worry, i would'nt let jiwoong near you ever again", she assured him, patting his back.
the two walked their separate ways.
she felt a soft tug at her heart as she was walking back to class.
her mind appeared to direct her movements as she proceeded down a well-known hallway of the busy academy. as she walked on, she could feel herself being drawn closer to the room where mark, the gifted pianist, frequently lost himself in music. rina slowed down as uncertainty overcame her, stopping hesitantly in front of the door.
she shook her head, "no!" she was a ballerina, focused and disciplined, "this is a moment of weakness i should never display", she told herself.
and yet, she felt an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for mark's music. he was 6 year old rina's inspiration after all.
to her, there was a familiar signature in his playing, a certain magic that set him apart from any other pianist.
even if she were to walk into a room filled with countless pianos and a multitude of pianists playing the exact same piece simultaneously, she knew like the back of her hand that she would recognize mark's playing.
