Son Chaeyoung's POV

"Ugh!! My head hurts because of too much studying." Nayeon whined. "Let's eat first love. We need to consume food so that our brain can function properly." Jeongyeon said while preparing the food she bought for her and Nayeon Unnie. "Yeah.. Let's eat first. I'm hungry." Momo said. "How about we will have group study starting today?" Sana proposed. "It's fine with me." Tzuyu answered. "Me too" Dahyun seconded. "It's fine for me too. We can study in my house, if you want." Mina proposed. " Oh! That's not a bad idea." Jihyo said. I am busy scanning my phone while munching my food when I realized they stop talking. "Bro, Are you listening to what we are saying?" Dubu asked. I shifted my attention to them. Of course..About the group study session.. "So, Are you going or not?" Tzuyu asked. Well, I.. I cannot -- "Why?" Nayeon asked. I have work to do. My coworker in the cafe is on leave so I need to fill her shift later. "Is that so? The exam is already next week and as far as I know we never saw you Study Chaeyoung. Are you sure it's fine?" Jeongyeon asked. Well, yeah. I don't really have time to study. Thank you for the concern Unnie but I'm going to be fine. I shifted back to my phone as I scan again the emails I received. "Are you sure? I know you are smart but you still need to review given that you're not attending your classes since after the University Festival." Jihyo said. I glance to Jihyo Unnie. Ne~ "As expected to the top 1.." I heard Momo commented while munching her food. "Why are you busy with your phone? Something wrong?" Mina asked. Nothing wrong Minari. Just checking important emails." So, you're no-t going to my house later?" Mina asked. Maybe not. She looks so disappointed while playing her food in her plate. Maybe not on time.. But I'll try to come after my shift. Is that okay? I saw her smile and nod. "You just said you won't" Tzuyu commented. I didn't. Nayeon Unnie didn't let me finish my sentence and I'm just gonna be late but I'll go. "That's good then.. Help me later with my business management subject." Jihyo said. "Speaking of business management. I don't really understand that subject at all!" Sana said. "Is it our professor because I also don't understand it.. " Momo said. "Hey, teach them. You're good at that subject right??" Dubu asked after which she elbowed me. I'm not. And why should I teach them when I have my own subject to study?! "Because you don't need to study your engineering subject. I mean are you gonna finish it? You love arts not engineering.." Tzuyu said. "You love arts?!" Nayeon Unnie asked. Painting is just my hobby.. "Then, why you didn't studied fine arts?" Jeongyeon asked. "She's prohibited by my father.. his grandfather..." Jihyo answered. "Woah! So, does it mean you're nailing engineering when in fact your not interested in it?! You must be really that smart Chaeyoung." Momo said. Not really Unnie. It's just I'm good at Math. You know calculations and analysis. "Then, what about the business management subject? You can't take it unless you're a business studies student right?!" Mina curiously asked. "Uhm. She graduated business management course in America Unnie... She's the top of her class too..she's famous in her school like the smartest university queen bee.." Dubu said. Yah! Will you two stop spilling things about me.  " You are?!" All of them asked except the three. It's not what you think Unnies.. I just adapted what is their practice and custom in school.. like here Mina is the queen bee.. "I'm not the school queen bee.." Mina mumbled. Is that so?.. I'm just interested if you have a male counterpart.. like a School King?" Jeongyeon asked. Well, we do have in my previous University... And I think it's already time. Lunch is over.  I'll go ahead. See you later.

Mina's POV

Oh! She's a queen bee huh?! I can't imagine how sassy she would be. And me as queen bee of the school?! Is she kidding me?!

"Well, we do have in my previous University... And I think it's already time. Lunch is over.  I'll go ahead. See you later." Chaeyoung said.

She really have this habit of walking out if she doesn't want to share something.

"Eh?! We still have 15 minutes.. Is she okay?" Sana asked Tzuyu. "She's fine Unnie.. Maybe she doesn't want to share some things  related to her previous school." Tzuyu answered while munching her food. "Kat.. I mean Chaeyoung is secretive type of person.. especially that School King. As far as we know, they are close." Dahyun said.

The queen bee and School King are close huh?

"Wait. How did you know?!" Jihyo asked. " I have someone I know also studying same University with Chaeyoung in America. She's popular there and that someone told me that Chaeyoung and their School King are so close that everyone thinks they are a couple" Dahyun said while playfully raising her eyebrows.

Couple? Chaeyoung and that guy?! I'm now curious who's this School King. I saw Tzuyu nudge Dahyun.

"Hey..Dubu? You're spilling too much information right now and it's not confirmed yet. Even Chaeng didn't admit or deny it to us." Tzuyu said. "By chance do you know the name? I'm interested. Let's search for the guy on Instagram.." Jihyo said. Eh? Why so interested Ji?! "Wow! You're not interested?! Sana sarcastically answered.

I'm not that interested? Well, just a little curiosity..

Because it's the first time that Chaeyoung had a guy as a close friend" Jihyo answered. "Wait! Maybe he's the special person Chaeyoung wants to protect!" Momo said.

So, that's why she's not telling anything about this guy. She wants to protect him.What's special to him that she wants to protect? Who is he? Geez..

So, our Chaeyoung really have a secret lover? Dahyun asked. "I don't think so.. I can't imagine that happening." Tzuyu answered. "Nothing is impossible Tzu.. she even have-" Dubu was cutted by Jihyo. "Almost time.. let's go.." Jihyo quickly stood up and walk away. Everyone seems shock the way Jihyo suddenly walk away. I glance to Tzuyu she's looking at Dahyun disappointed while Dahyun biting her finger mouthing sorry to Tzuyu.

This is weird. Dahyun almost spill something about Chaeyoung that's why Jihyo cutted her talking about it? Is it about the arranged marriage thing or another secret of Chaeyoung?
