part 10

Sooji's POV:

i'm having lunch with Jaeun at subway when i remember what i forgot to show her.

"right. take a look at this" i pull my phone out and show her some pictures.

"what's this?" she asks me. "these were the pictures from Song Jaehyung's gallery. she's secretly been taking pictures of girls with a good figure and a temper. we can expose her as a pervert if we leak them"

"eat up. our lunchtime will be over soon" i tell her. "oh, okay. let me try to persuade her to vote for us"

"do you think you can do it?" i ask her. "yes. let me try. i can't let you do all the work. i feel bad"

Mikasa's POV:

"just do as i say. darn it" Dayeon says, slapping the back of Jiae's head. "why are you talking back?"

at first i was sat next to Dayeon having a normal conversation with her. now i'm being forced to watch her bully Jiae without being able to do anything about it.

"you're in grade F, the lowest grade among us. know your place" Wooyi says. "you are in grade F. so act like it" Dayeon says, with her arm around my shoulder.

"let's do this right, Jiae. i'll be watching you" Wooyi says.

Jiae looks up at me with fear in her eyes. when Dayeon notices she kicks her leg making Jiae shriek in pain.

"what are you looking at Mikasa for?" Dayeon asks her.

Wooyi gasps. "Dayeon. i think she was looking at your girlfriend's chest" "what a pervert" Seolha says. do they just enjoy falsely accusing her of something like that?

"what? no" Jiae says. she's stuttering which makes it look like she's lying, but she's just really scared.

"Dayeon. i don't think she was-" i try to deny what Wooyi and Seolha accused Jiae of, but Dayeon cuts me off by grabbing Jiae by her collar.

"what the hell do you think you're doing, staring at my girlfriend's chest like that? have some respect and keep your eyes to yourself" Dayeon says, before letting Seolha and Wooyi take over. they started beating her.

Sooji's POV:

i'm on the rooftop with Jiae. we're sat in awkward silence for a while before i decide to start talking.

"Cho Yurim was chosen to receive the scholarship from baekyeon art yesterday. i'm sure Baek Harin is behind it" i say. "Harin is?" Jiae asks me.

"about what i said before.."
"yes. you were right. it was my fault. then we'll have to bring in Seungyi instead of Cho Yurim. to make an alliance with the grade D's"

"are you okay with that?" i ask her. "i don't care"

she changed her mind that easily?

i turn around when i hear someone's footsteps, it's Jaeun. she smells like cigarettes.

"what?" Jaeun asks me.
"nothing. how did it go with Song Jaehyung?"

"we've gotten quite close" she says. "don't tell me you didn't use the photos. that's the easiest and surest way" i tell her.

"i'm not as clever as you. i want to do it my way first"
"your way?"

"Jiae!" we hear someone yell, Mikasa is here. "i'm really sorry. i should've done something to try and stop them. are you okay?" she brings Jiae's hands in hers.

"i'm okay. it's not your fault" Jiae says. Mikasa pulls her in for a hug. Jiae is stood there frozen with a shocked look on her face before she starts smiling. she looks at me and Jaeun pointing her fingers at Mikasa, "Mikasa is hugging me!" she mouths at us.
