Eunchae 

I sighed. Why can't he just leave it for once. I turned around and walked out hitting his shoulder intentionally. Hell nah I was getting in trouble on my second day, but Jungwon's stares were scarier. I didn't even know the way to the Principal's office. On my way I asked some random guy who looked surprisingly like Jungwon, 

"Jungwon?" I asked.

"Oh no. It's actually, Jeongin. People often confuse me for Jungwon. You are Dongwoo's cousin right?" He awkwardly smiled.

"Yeah, people rarely know about it though. I'm really sorry, can you please tell the way to the principal's office?" I questioned.

"Yeah, take the stairs two floors below and you'll find it in the right corner of the corridor towards the right." He smiled.

"Thanks dude." I replied rushing towards the stairs. I looked at my watch and the last period was about to end. Gosh, how long was I roaming? I came to the place where Jeongin directed me but there was nothing except a staff room. I was about to go back when suddenly a pair of arms grabbed me and pushed me inside the staffroom. I screamed and looked at the person only to see a masked face that resembled Jungwon. He locked me inside as I shouted and screamed his name but he went away. Dark, confined spaces, no- I have claustrophobia. I curled up into a ball looking at my surroundings finding nothing. Tears came into my eyes wondering why Jungwon would do such a thing. 

"Sh-sh Everything is f-fine. You a-are going t-to get out in n-no time." I consoled myself. Suddenly I started feeling cold and numb and I blacked out.

Jungwon

"Thank you oppa." Wonhee replied as she and Dongwoo went towards the cafeteria. I went towards my friends only to be hit by Sunoo hyung. 

"Ow, what was that for?" I winced.

"For punishing the wrong person. Chae wasn't the one at fault, Wonhee had slapped her." Sunoo hyung replied.

"If so, why didn't 'chae' explain?" I scoffed.

"Because of this, your biased attitude. She knew you wouldn't believe." Jay hyung smacked my head. I held my head in pain dramatically. 

"Find her, she doesn't even know the ways." Jake hyung said sternly. I gave him a 'let. me. eat. in. peace.' look as he rolled his eyes. Soon the lunch period was over and Eunchae didn't come back. I started to get concerned because after all, I was the one at fault. Everyone left to attend their classes as I went towards to the principal's office. He told me Eunchae had not visited him. Aish! Where in the world was this girl. I checked each and every floor and class room but found no luck. The last bell rang as I saw every student rushing home. I had started to get worried and I panicked. Was it that she bunked class. No, she's not that kind of student. Ugh! The only place I haven't checked is the last floor. But, that's forbidden, why would she be there?

Let me check it still. Before I could move, I got a call. It was from Jay hyung. I picked it up.

O.T.P.

Jay: Jungwon, did you find Eunchae? I told Jake that I will bring her home. 

Me: No hyung, I can't. She didn't even reach the office. I'm scared. Let me check the last floor, if I still don't find her, I'll call you back soon.

Jay: Okay, let me ask some of the juniors.

Call cut

I sighed and ran towards the last floor. I checked every corner but I couldn't find her. I was about to call Jay hyung when I saw an unlocked staff room. I cross checked if it was open because according to me, this lock hadn't been opened up in years. I walked towards it as I unleashed the hook. To my terror, I saw her lying on floor, unconscious. I quickly went towards her and patted her face. She was crying, which means she had been locked. She wasn't waking up so I picked her up and took her to the infirmary. The working hours were over, so the nurse wasn't there. I quickly lay her down on one hospital bed and brought water from the water filterer. I sprinkled it on her face as her eyes landed on me, wide open, in shock. She held my collar.

"Jungwon, why did you do this to me? What problem do you have from me? You know that I am scared of dark spaces right? Why did you do this huh?" Eunchae said, rather calmly but her eyes raging. Tears fell down her eyes as she looked at me to explain.

"Woah woah. Calm down lady. I am the one who rescued you, shouldn't you be thanking me. And yeah, think about it, why would I lock you up and come to save you myself? I'm not that bad of a person and you know that very well too." I rambled. How could she think it was me?

"So it wasn't you? But I swear I saw you." She stated, looking terrified.

"God, why would it be me?" I asked. "Let's check the CCTV tomorrow. You must be tired. Get some rest." I assured her and called Jay Hyung to tell him I found Eunchae and will drop her home.

"Let's go." I said looking at her.

"Where? I'm not going anywhere with you." Eunchae replied. Seriously, the nerve of this girl.

"Jinijja? You don't wanna go hourrmee(home)?" I asked mocking her Australian accent.

"Shut up! But still it's your fault, you sent me outside." She replied rolling her eyes.

"I'm sorry about that. I should've understood the situation better. And I promise Wonhee and whoever did this to you is not getting away with it." I promised to her who was sulking. We went outside and rode on my bike to her home. I could tell she didn't trust me because she was holding me so tight that if she would fall, she'd make me fall with her.

The next day

Eunchae

I told Yoonah and Jake all of this and made them promise me to not make a mountain out of a rock. When I reached school, I couldn't understand why people were looking at me sympathetically. Everyone said something or the other about how I should be okay until Yoonah came hurriedly and asked,

"Eunchae, what did you say to the principal? Jungwon is getting expelled."

(Hi guyz, Hope u ppl are enjoying so far. I wanted to clarify that I had changed the POV thingy. SO whenever a point of view will change, I will write the name in bold and underline it.)
