Knowing Ms. Know-it-all (TXT Taehyun X Female OC X Enhypen Jay)

Ch. 54: Scavenger Hunt for Hearts

When Sohee first saw Riki the next day, the first thing she did was glare at him. Not that Riki knew what it was about. It had already spread across their classmates last night that he had apparently "made Jinwoo cry", and of course, hearing that news, Sohee wasn't going to be happy with it.

"I'll punish you even before any of Jinwoo's siblings do that."

"I really didn't do anything!" At this point, Riki was getting tired of constantly defending himself. At least, Jinwoo is actually actively trying to explain why exactly he cried last night, and yet, being that these kids came from such an unruly school, it shouldn't be a surprise that they would continue to be mischievous enough to continue teasing Riki about it. But on the other hand, Sohee... just doesn't seem to know about the truth.

But then again, why would Jinwoo ever even tell her when the reason he cried last night was literally all because she rejected him?

"Then why exactly did he cry, huh?" Sohee grabs Riki by his ear as she asks, earning a yelp from her classmate followed by him whimpering in pain as he bends down to try and lessen the pain.

"Look, I can explain, I can explain! Just let me go for a bit 'cause it hurts!"

With that, Sohee frowns at him again before yanking on his ear even more before abruptly letting go, sending Riki falling to the ground with a thump.

"Umph!"

"So? Tell me. Why exactly did Jinwoo cry?" Sohee bent down as she looked at the boy still lying on the ground.

Riki wore a tired expression on his face as he turned and faced her. "Will you actually like it, though? Pretty sure, once I tell you this, you'll only avoid him even more."

"... What?" Sohee furrows her brows, making her classmate even more annoyed as he smiles thinly all while judging her in his mind.

"Ah, the nerve this girl has to act tough when she's so stupid to even realize..."

"I know you're insulting me in your head. Your face says it all, Nishimura."

"Eek!" Riki flinches, and with that he quickly sits up, and rubs the back of his head before looking up at Sohee with a frown. "Then, can you at least be smart enough to tell that Jinwoo's upset because you've been ignoring him!"

Once again, Sohee is clueless. "... Huh?"

"Hey, Min Sohee!"

"What, Nishimura Riki?!"

"Just give Jinwoo a break already and tell him you like him so I don't get in trouble again for something I didn't do!"

"I already told you that I don't like him!"

"Stop lying!"

Those two never really stop quarreling no matter what. And to be frank, that's exactly what continued to happen, all the while, two boys from their class watch them with varying expressions.

"Those two sure are close, huh?" Jungwon mutters with a glare pointed straight at Riki.

"Yeah, I guess, you could say that," Jinwoo replies with a nervous smile, suddenly feeling ashamed that he used to be jealous of Riki back then but now feeling much calmer since he's finally aware that Riki doesn't even Sohee like that. "Turns out they just have a sibling-like relationship, huh?"

Finally, Ms. Song eventually arrives to the sight with a clipboard and an announcement. As she stands on the stage at the front of the camping sight, all students eventually turn to her, and she smiles brightly as she greets them. "Good morning, students! Are you ready for your first activity of the day?"
