At School...

  J-Hope and Jin confronted Jungkook about his behavior in the game. They sat in the seats in front of him, ignoring Chaeyoung who was visibly irritated by their noise.

  “Hey! Did you know that Suga was one of the enemies? How are you going to face them now? I bet they’re going to laugh at you” Jin said, clearly disappointed. Jungkook remained silent, indifferent to the potential laughter of others.

  Their attention shifted to Chaeyoung, who loudly crumpled a piece of paper, her irritation palpable.

  “Oh! Sorry, Chaeyoung, didn’t notice you were here” Jin said, noticing her anger. “Yah! It’s your fault; you’re so noisy” J-Hope whispered to Jin, annoyed by his loud nagging.

  “Sorry, Chaeyoung. I must’ve been too loud” Jin said nervously, trying to calm her down.

  The owner of the seats and the teacher arrived, forcing Jin and J-Hope to move as they took their seats.

  “Class, we have a new student today” the teacher announced. Jungkook and Chaeyoung watched as Lisa walked in.

🥀CHAEYOUNG'S POV

  My frustration and guilt were overwhelming. The troublemaker beside me had lied to Mom and Dad about my whereabouts, resulting in me being grounded. This punishment meant I missed Lilly's grandmother's burial, and now I was facing a month of grounding. The noise from Jin and J-Hope only added to my stress.

  As the teacher introduced Lisa, I felt a mix of excitement and confusion. Lisa's familiar short hair, tall stature, and wide smile were a welcome sight. “It’s Lisa!” I thought, eager yet puzzled by her sudden appearance.

  Lisa introduced herself with a smile. “Hello, I’m Lalisa Manoban, 17. I’m looking forward to studying with you” she said, bowing. Meanwhile, Nancy, Dahyun, and IU looked disappointed, realizing their plans to bully had just gotten more complicated.

  “You can sit at the back” the teacher directed, pointing to a seat next to me. I was relieved to be close to Lisa, though confused by the reason for the swap.

BREAK TIME

  Lisa explained between bites of her burger, “I offered cash for Lilly to swap schools since she was being bullied here, and she accepted.”

  “I’m sad Lilly transferred, but at least she won’t be bullied anymore. I just hope she’s okay at the old school” I said, my worry evident.

  “Our class is full of nerds. They’ll probably befriend her just to copy on tests” Lisa reassured me, trying to lighten my mood.

  My attention shifted as I saw Jimin and his friends approaching. I lowered my head, avoiding eye contact as my heart raced. I was still recovering from the noise and tension of earlier.

  Lisa noticed my reaction and asked, “Who are they?” I glanced up to see Jimin kneeling in front of me.

  “Park Chaeyoung, I’m sorry for what I did. Please tell your brother not to file a lawsuit” Jimin pleaded, his posture submissive.

  “Yah, what did you do to Chaeyoung to make you kneel in front of so many people?” Lisa demanded. When Jimin didn’t answer, Lisa slapped the table and shouted, “Answer me! Apologize properly!”

  Jimin, clearly annoyed, looked up at Lisa and snapped, “Who the heck are you?” Lisa, enraged, kicked him and threatened to use a water bottle on him.
