Bluff (BBANGSAZ)

II

Hanni's POV

I'm super duper hungry, and I regret not getting some snacks at home so I could eat discreetly while the teacher drones on like a machine.

As usual, my best friend is listening attentively. She's the complete opposite of me.

I can't count how many eyes are on the back of my notebook; it's the only thing I can draw when I'm not in the mood to listen.

My stomach is growling and I can't hold it longer, I rushed the essay that's why it's short and straight to the point while Danielle have too much thoughts about the topic.

When the bell rings, I'm the first one to leave the room and head straight to the canteen.

"Hanni, wait for us" Lily says, catching her breath. I slow down and wait for them.

I cling to Lily and Bae, and the line isn't moving because of me. I'm really slow at choosing food but I'm not hungry anymore and I'll do some nonsense idea again. This is an everyday scenario; students who manage to get in front of me consider themselves lucky. People at the back groan when they realize I'm in front of them. I just bow to them as an apology.

"One bagel, please," I say. Students whine louder when they hear that I bought the same thing again.

"Hanni, why does it take you 20 minutes to choose? That's literally your snack every day."

"So we have an excuse for the next subject teacher. We can say we're late because the line is super long."

We find a decent seat to eat. Lily and Bae are so talkative, but I'm still thinking about that Kim Minji they're talking about. I wanted to see and ask her on why does she hides her feelings for me for so long.

I stand up from my seat, and students start squealing. The noise gets louder. Yeah, I know, right? I'm famous and beautiful. I flip my hair and sit back. Embarrassment slaps me when I realize they're not looking at me.

"HEY!" A loud voice echoes through the whole canteen. The girl catches the attention of the students. I shift my gaze to see who she's talking to.

There, I see a tall girl with straight hair and a perfect nose. Her face is perfect too. Where did I see her? Let me think for a while. Oh, it's Kim Minji! I've been stalking her on Instagram, hehe.

She doesn't even glance at the girl who was calling her. Her resting bitch face is what caught my attention. She's beautiful and handsome at the same time, how could that happen?

"Hey, Kim Minji. I'm talking to you," the whole crowd is shocked at how brave the girl is. What the heck, this is the girl I hooked up with last month, and I can't even remember her name. Why is she causing a scene here?

"The fuck do you want?" Minji answers, still uninterested in the loud conversation.

"Pham Hanni is MINE!" the girl shouts. I cover my face in embarrassment; my name is being mentioned.

But I steal a glance at Minji; she looks bored and doesn't give a single concern about it. Ouch.

"I SAID, PHAM HANNI IS MINE" she repeats, louder this time. Finally, she gets Minji's attention. Minji stood up, the girl flinched from her sharp gaze before letting a reply.

Yes, fight for me, Kim Minji. I'm all yours if you want.

"All yours, bitch. I don't even know who Pham Hari or Phan Hanri, whatever his name is" she replied, making people look in awe.

Excuse me 'his'? Do I look like I'm a man?

And how on earth she doesn't t know me?

I thought she likes me? My ego is hurt. But maybe she's just afraid to admit that she has a crush on me. There are people like her who deny their feelings to avoid getting caught. Yup, I'm gaslighting myself.

"Stop denying anything. I know you like her, and don't you ever take her away from me." The girl retorted angrily building up her bravery.

"How could I ever like someone that I don't even know?" Minji answers back.

Okay

I'm hurt.

I'm insulted.

"HEY!" I stand up, but it seems like they can't see me because of my height, so I move closer to them in the center.

"I thought you like me?" I asked looking straight at Minji but she's now busy munching her food.

"Yes, I like you, Pham Hanni. I think I'm in love with you." the loud girl confessed to me.

"I'm not talking to you; I'm talking to her," I pointed at Minji, who is busy eating her sandwich. She chokes on it when she hears me.

Yeah, I know, who wouldn't? It's me, duh. No one can handle my existence. Too good for anyone. I flipped my hair once more causing student to shriek, all eyes on me.

Minji scanned me from head to toe. Her eyes are full of judgement and confusion.

"Excuse me? I don't even know you" Minji said, hurting my ego even more.

"I'm the one and only Pham Hanni of this campus. I'm the mus-"

"I don't care" she interrupts before I can finish my introduction. So rude.

"Don't involve me in your life dramas" she adds and walks away from the canteen.

I stare at the students who are gossiping, and they quickly look away when I throw them a deathly glare.

That was embarrassing. Can the ground just  swallow me right now, all I could feel is embarrassment. How could she do this to the person she likes.

But I understand Minji. She's just shy and not ready to admit it. Plus, I'll give her time. I can see that she really likes me.

"Whoa, that was lit. How was your first rejection?" Lily chimed in clapping loudly.

"What if I punch you right now?" I glare at Lily and Bae. They made me believe that she likes me.

Frankly, she's interesting. Oh nvm, she must be the one chasing me.

"Calm down. She's probably denying it because of your fangirls and fanboys." Yeah, exactly. But I can handle them all and make my way to Minji.

"You're right. Who wouldn't fall for me? I can dance, sing. I'm even the Muse of this campus. I can play guitar and piano. I'm literally perfect."

Lily and Bae don't seem amused by what I said. They don't give a damn and continue eating. Tsk.

I miss Danielle. Speaking of Danielle, she's coming towards me with Haerin again.

"What was that, girl?" She's crossing her arms, looking done with me.

"I don't know either."

"Stop putting yourself on shame." Is she really my bestfriend?

Okay, I'm hurt again.

"But Kim Minji likes me."

"And you believed?" she replied, and I just shrug my shoulders.

My day has turned bad, and I'm in a bad mood because of Minji. Why can't she just confess to me? It's easy because I wouldn't reject her.

By the way, this Heeseung guy keeps bothering me. I've told him many times that I'm not into boys. I hate them all, me cringe the hell out of me.

A bulb lights up, I'll make that Kim Minji fall for me. Easier than Math's addition. I'm literally everyone's dream girl so I'm 100% that I could get her. Get ready, Minji your wife is coming.

Wait she's the one who's suppose to make the first move, right? Right.
