pyramid game | enemies to lovers

part 6

Sooji's POV:

While i'm looking for Harin, i accidentally bump into Yerim. i ignore her continuing trying to find Harin.

"are you looking for someone?" she asks me. i turn around to look at her. "you don't look well. would you like to drink some of this? although, it's diet black tea" she hands me her water bottle.

"do you know who the mastermind of this game is?" i ask her. "isn't it obvious? were you looking for Harin? and here i thought.."

"obvious? don't tell me the whole class knows it"

"mom!" we hear Harin say.

"they probably do. even the fact that she's the chair's daughter" Yerim says. "the chair?" i turn to look at Harin who's stood talking with her mom.

one of the top three companies in korea, baekyeon group's chair choi yihwa of the board received a commendation today for her contributions to the development of education.

"the baekyeon group family's.. granddaughter" i say.

Mikasa's POV:

i'm having dinner with Dayeon, Harin, Doah, and all of our dads together.

"the steak is tender and delicious" Dayeon's dad says. "Mr Seo, let me ask you something. how can it be explained medically? look. the only daughter of the baekyeon group family, the only child of the amoto family, the only child of the seosin hospital family. and we.." Mr Kim points at Dayeon. "only have daughters. can you say this is a coincidence?

"all of our families have a superior X chromosome. oh, right. Harin, which college are you planning to apply for? if you don't mind, why don't you work on the portfolio with Doah and Mikasa? i think it'll be a chance to tighten your friendship and become closer friends" Mr Seo says.

"we're close friends already" Harin says. "Doah is smart and cute, Mikasa is talented and pretty"

"she's cute?" Mr Seo asks. "Thanks" Doah and i say, Harin smiles at us.

"Do you still hang out with that judo girl?" Mr Kim asks Dayeon. "i'm closer with Harin" Dayeon says, turning to look at Harin.

"aren't you and Mikasa getting closer?" Harin says. "really?" my dad asks me.

"you.." Mr Kim points at Dayeon, "and Mikasa?" he looked almost proud, but Dayeon looked scared. i knew my answer could either make Mr Kim happy, or upset which means he would hurt Dayeon. i don't want that happening to her.

"yes" i say. "Dayeon and i were never really that close. but now that we're getting to know each other better, i really like her" our parents never knew about how we actually hated each other.

Mr Kim smiles, so does my dad. "that's good to hear"

"So, Mikasa. are you still together with your boyfriend?" Mr Seo asks me. "we actually broke up a while ago. it wasn't meant to be" i say. "i'm sorry to hear that"

"it's okay. i think i might have feelings for someone else" i turn to look at Dayeon who's already looking at me.

my dad and Mr Kim noticed it. they look at each other confused.

"oh, dad" Harin says. "can you provide more scholarships to the swimming society? there's a girl named Eunjung in my class. she's talented but poor. don't say no, please?" Harin whispers something in her dad's ear making him agree to what she asked. "alright, let's do that" her dad says.

"why don't we have a toast?" my dad says.

Sooji's POV:
