10 | Eat The Rich

ARTICLE TITLE: Eat The Rich

DRAFTED TEXT: Money can't buy you happiness this, money is the root of all evil that. Philosophers like to believe money aren't important, that one can live even with less. But that's not true. Money is power, and power in this world is a tool. There's a reason why the rich think they can do whatever they want — because at the end of the day, they can do whatever they want.

''You were with who?'' On Jo asked, her eyes wide.

They were in a break and no teacher was in the classroom, so the five girls were gathered in the corner at Soon Yeon's desk. After practically ditching them two days ago, Y/n was asked exactly what had come up.

''Not just Soo Ho,'' Y/n's voice was low. The classroom was noisy, but she didn't want anyone listening in. ''Si Eun and Bum Seok were there, too.''

''You ditched us to hang out with the losers?'' Ji Hyun asked, her arms crossed.

''Hey, don't be mean. They're nice.'' Y/n slapped her shoulder. ''But it wasn't really intentional. We went to save Si Eun and stuff, and then Soo Ho brought us there to work. Oh, did I tell you I beat up Tae Hoon?''

Eun Hye asked as she pointed to the back. ''Is that why he's been glaring at you the whole day?''

The four girls turned and, sure enough, Tae Hoon was sending a piercing glare in Y/n's direction. Y/n gave him a smile and waved, making him scoff and look away. Her eyes then moved to Young Bin, who was collecting his things from his locker. He was in casual clothes — he was transferring schools, Soo Ho had told her.

''Seems like you had an interesting weekend,'' On Jo said, nudging her arm. Y/n looked back at the four girls, all of them giving her looks.

''I guess so.'' They would find it even more interesting if she'd told them she hung out with them the day after, too, and Soo Ho had walked her home and given her his sweater. That was something she wanted to keep to herself, too personal and sweet to share.

''Is it there?'' Soo Ho's voice suddenly echoed through the classroom and Y/n looked ahead. He sat at Bum Seok's desk, the two of them playing a game on their phones. Si Eun was at his own desk, ignoring them as usual.

''Yes,'' Bum Seok confirmed.

''Me first! Oh, no!''

''Stop.''

''I'll take it over.''

''Y/n.'' She looked at Eun Hye, who was grinning at her. ''You really do like him a lot.''

A shrug. ''I guess so. He's nice.'' She's come to therms with her crush, especially after the weekend. She wasn't ashamed talking about her feelings to her friends, but if Soo Ho heard this conversation, she would walk in front of a speeding car by herself.

''Yoon Si Eun.''

The class fell silent at that. Y/n watched as Young Bin stood in front of Si Eun, who took his AirPod off and looked up at him.

''Do you have a minute?''

Y/n's brows furrowed.

''I have nothing to talk to you about.''

''Hey. What's going on?'' Soo Ho asked and looked back at his phone when Young Bin didn't answer him.

''I'll be quick,'' Young Bin said.

Si Eun stood up to follow Young Bin, as did Soo Ho and Bum Seok. Y/n hopped off the desk she was sitting on, straightening her skirt. ''I'm going with them. I'll see you guys later.'' She didn't wait for a protest or a tease, rushing over to catch up with Soo Ho as he walked in the back. Grabbing his shoulder, she made him stop for a moment and turn to her. With a quiet voice, she spoke. ''What do you think he wants?''
