Hey, Sharon. (Michaeng)

Chapter 20: Bullies & Regrets

Third Person POV

"What the fuck did you think you were doing?" Frustration can clearly be heard through Jeongyeon's voice as she paced back and forth in the garden at the back of the school. The others were sitting at a bench infront of her.

Jeongyeon was going to follow Nayeon herself and go after Chaeyoung but Nayeon told her that some of them had to stay with Tzuyu. That some of them had to hear her side of the story too. They were friends after all. They couldn't abandon one and take the other's side. Even if Jeongyeon was mad at what Tzuyu did to Chaeyoung, she couldn't argue with what Nayeon said and so here she was trying her hardest to stay calm and listen to what Tzuyu had to say for herself.

"Calm down Jeongie. Let the girl speak." Sana says in a serious tone as she was slowly rubbing Tzuyu's back.

Tzuyu hasn't looked up from her feet since the four of them left the cafeteria. She was just sitting on the bench with Momo and Sana on either sides of her and a very frustrated looking Jeongyeon standing infront of her with her hands on her hips.

"Speak then." Jeongyeon says in a low voice that made shivers run up the foreign girls' spines.

"I-I was mad at her..." Tzuyu started talking. Her voice barely croaking out of her throat.

"Yeah no shit." Jeongyeon said again which made sana give her a glare.

"Unnie please." She says to Jeongyeon to which she nods letting Tzuyu continue.

"She told me she didn't have anyone she liked like that. She told me she wasn't interested in anyone. I was relieved to hear that. Because atleast it would be easier for me to get over her. I wouldn't have to look at her and someone else being all in love. Or so I thought..." Tzuyu said letting out a shaky sigh. She continued to explain her little spying plan she did with dahyun and what she saw. She told the girls everything she saw and felt hoping they would understand.

After finishing her lengthy explanation she looked up slowly at sana who was sitting next to her. All her eyes showed was sympathy. Not a hint of anger in there.

She couldn't say the same for her Jeongyeon unnie though. She still looked like she could stab someone with a pencil.

Tzuyu looked down again seeing the look on Jeongyeon.

"I get the fact that you were jealous Tzuyu but do you have any idea what you've just done to Chaeyoung?" She asked. Tzuyu noticed a difference in her Unnie's tone. It was no longer anger. It was... helplessness.

Tzuyu looked up at Jeongyeon. She looked vulnerable and hurt. Like she lost hope. She didn't quite understand what she was saying so she gave her a questioning look. Sensing her confusion Jeongyeon continued.

"The whole school is going to find out about this. It's going to spread like wildfire. She's going to be shunned by everyone Tzuyu. She's going to be treated like an outcast." Tzuyu's eyes widened as she heard what Jeongyeon said. Yes, Tzuyu was angry at the girl but this is far from what she wanted.

Jeongyeon sighed again and sat down on the bench opposite of the one the other three were sitting in.

"I.. I d-didn't mean to.." Tzuyu's voice cracked and it grabbed the attention of both momo and Jeongyeon, both girls sat upright hearing it.

Tzuyu was at the brink of crying. Tears were welling up in her eyes. None of them has ever seen the maknae shed a tear in the duration of their friendship.

It startled the girls sitting next to her. They haven't seen tzuyu this broken and vulnerable. Even if Jeongyeon didn't agree with Tzuyu's ways, she had to put that in the back of her mind and try to comfort her friend.
