Star Lost || Kim Seungmin

CH-21: Plans?

3rd Person's POV:

"Now everything is falling into realization. Sumin and Harin, these two bitches have set things up. I swear they are trying to create misunderstandings in between our friend circle." Jisung, the loudmouth, rambled after everything has been talked. "This is so absurd!" Aera, the loudmouth's girlfriend, rambled along with him as well.

"What shall we do now?" Jiyeon asked and they all wondered. "But what do they even want from us? We didn't even beat that Siwoo and Chanji to a pulp like how we promised. So, what do they want now?" Changbin wondered. "They are just jealous." Hyunjin told them. "Why?"

"Because we have a good friendship. A true friendship. We trust and love each other and no one or nothing can break us apart. They know about it very well. Why do you think they hang around each other? Because they want to show off. They like to show off that no one is perfect than them or no one is better than them, but inside they are just hollow. We, one the other hand, have a very strong and almost unbreakable friendship. They want us to fall apart so that they can take the spotlight.

They want everyone to think that we were only being kind for the show, money and nothing else." Hyunjin's statement made everyone think. "This was the main reason why I stopped being a part of them. They make rich kids their friends, ruin their status and then let the kid take all the blame for what they did. Do you guys recall what they did with Sunhee?"

"Sunhee? I didn't saw her since I came here. Did something happen with her?" Iseul asked. "I don't even want to recall what happened with her, that was just horrible." Jisung chirped. "Yeah, I really felt bad for the boy." Eunji said as well. "But what happened with her? And what boy?" Iseul asked again to Hyunjin.

"During the second last year of high school, she liked this boy, but he was from a not so very financially stable family, and he didn't saw her like that. She confessed, got rejected. Out of frustration and anger, she started to bully him along with the others. One day, a teacher found both of them inside a room and she immediately accused of him molesting her.

He was taken into questioning and then her father made the authorities suspend him. The boy only had his mother in his family and was working part time to take care of both of them. When this news circulated, he lost his job and wasn't able to provide medication for his mother and she died because of lack of treatment as she had pneumonia. He gave up on his life as well and committed suicide.

During all this incident, a friend of his, who was in his support, started to research and collect some proofs against her. He collected evidence of her bullying other kids and even got the footage of her bullying him and even of the same day when he was accused. He showed it to the higher ups, and they immediately called the family of Sunhee and she was suspended instead.

The friend went to see the boy and wanted to deliver the happy news. During all the time, he couldn't contact him and even visited his house, but he was not present there. When he again went there, there were no responses, but the door was open, when he went in, especially in his room, he saw the dead body of his friend hanging from the ceiling. The whole incident was so devastating that the whole school was in shock. The friend prepared a proper funeral for both the mother and son and the whole school went to pay their respects to them."

"And you know what the worst thing was? These people were also involved with Sunhee, but their names never came because they only let her bully the others and even encouraged her and gave her ideas. She played into their game and was caught up with them. Not saying she was good, but she had an option to not do the things they told her to, but she never did anything like that." Seungmin also added and Iseul held her head.

"Was this why they wanted Hyunjin to be in their friend group as well?" Jiyeon asked and Hyunjin nodded. "Yes. They even tried to make me think that if my family have money, then I can rule the whole school. They made very dirty comments on the other students behind their backs and in front of me. They were in my class, that's why they spent more time with me, but I was friends with the others even before I met them and they talked shit about all of them, especially Chan Hyung.

I can understand if they talk shit about anyone else, but Chan Hyung? He has been so friendly to even animals, forget about humans! And that's when it started to take a toll on me, and I realized that they are all nothing but losers and manipulators. I stopped hanging out with them and they didn't take that very well, so they targeted Iseul, my best friend and succeeded in making her feel worse." Hyunjin put his hand over her, and she smiled back at him.

"So those unseasoned chickens want attention?" Minho said and they all looked at him. "I guess so?" Seungmin answered and Minho hummed. "Then let's give them." He smiled the kindest smile and they all looked at each other. "What are we going to do then?"

........

"HARIN!" The mentioned girl stopped walking and turned back. She saw Jiyeon running towards her and stopping. She panted and Harin asked, "What happened?" She calmed down and said, "By any chance, are you and your friends, free today evening?" Harin tilted her head. "I don't know, I have to ask them, why?" She asked and Jiyeon smiled.

"It's just." She sighed and then looked at her with hesitation. "You know, on that day, when you and your friend Sumin were talking to Hyejin about Seungmin in the washroom, I was there in one cubicle as well. I didn't want to eavesdrop on your conversation, but I happen to hear you guys." She confessed and Harin nodded in realization.

She looked at her skeptically. "So?" She asked and Jiyeon again sighed. "The thing is. You know Seungmin and I are dating right now, but I don't want to jump into conclusions without hearing the whole thing. And if I went to him, he would obviously lie. Yesterday Iseul came and misbehaved with me because of all this. She said I don't know everything and I realized that the best person to ask about everything will be you and your friends, so if you guys have time then let's meet and discuss about everything?"

Harin smirked internally and nodded. "Of course! No problem. You know I am looking out for you, and I care about you because your mother has asked me to. So, obviously I won't want anyone to take advantage of you. How does six p.m. sounds like?" Jiyeon nodded.

"I'll text you guys the address."
