Was It All For Nothing? - By Sarah Jaju

Bok-su fail (Chapter 37)

Hae-Ri:

"Kim Yoo-Ra?!"

My head jerked around when I heard Ki-young sheik that familiar name.

"Park Hae-Ri eodi iss-seo?!" Kim Yoo-Ra violently screamed. (Where is Park Hae-Ri?!)

Everyone's heads spun around to face me, and I gave Jessica that look that said, "help me!".

To my rescue, Jessica marched up to the door and yelled in Yoo-Ra's face, "daeche mwo hajaneun geo-ya?" (What the heck do you want?)

Yoo-Ra aggressively pushed Jessica aside and barged into our room, "Hae-Ri... neo... neoneun-," (Hae-Ri...you...you-)

"Yah! Ye-ui-neun eodi gasseo?!" Young-Seo screamed. (Hey! Where are your manners?!)

I watched Yoo-Ra as she stomped her feet and walked towards me with a sense of determination for 𝘣𝘰𝘬-𝘴𝘶 (revenge). Her head towered above mine, as she glared into my eyes with fury...I leaned back with nervousness and wondered what this was about.

"Yah! Neo namja-chingu humchineun, sseuregi gateun-" Yoo-Ra hollered in my face, reaching out to take a grab at my hair, when suddenly we heard another voice from the door. (Hey! You boyfriend-stealing, piece of-)

"Kim Yoo-Ra! Get out here at once!" Kim Seonsaengim bellowed.

"E-eoh, nae...Kim Seonsaengnim," Yoo-Ra stuttered, and hissed at me before storming out. (O-oh, yes...)

"Park Hae-Ri, neo do," Kim seonsaengnim instructed. (You too, Park Hae-Ri)

I willingly marched out, chin up and shoulders back. There was no reason for me to feel guilty, and rather, it made me laugh. My life was actually turning into a full-on kdrama that ajhhumas (aunties) would watch when they got bored of their own lives. Before I stepped out, and turned back and smirked at the girls when they gave me ,"thumbs-up", signals.

"Nae, seonsaengnim, I'm actually very glad that you turned up," I spoke first. I realised that my therapy sessions were making me more forthright, or, "cheeky", as some would like to call it. (Yes, ma'am)

"Jinjja-yo? May I ask why?" Seonsaengnim questioned. (Is that so?)

"Mullonijyo! Actually, the thing is, Yoo-Ra-ssi seems to have a problem with me," I stated the facts. The only reason that I wasn't hesitating here was because Kim Seonsaengnim was a teacher who would actually understand, and try to help us. (Of course!)

I know I would've looked like a total snitch, but Kim Seonsaengnim wasn't someone who'd go and take an issue like this to the heads, but at the same time, she would do her best to convey the message to Yoo-Ra, so I thought that this was the perfect way of dealing with this situation.

"Geure, Yoo-Ra-ya? Matdamyeon, jigeumi ohaereul pur-eoya hal wanbyeokhan ttaein geot gata," Kim Seonsaengnim suggested. (Is that right, Yoo-Ra? And if it is then I think this is the perfect time to sort out any misunderstandings.)

I raised an eyebrow and looked at Yoo-Ra, who was fuming but holding back.

"A-aniyo, seonsaengnim. There's nothing like that between H-hae...Hae...Hae-Ri...and I," Yoo-Ra spat out my name like it was some house-fly, and honestly it was hilarious watching her get so nervous. (N-no, ma'am.)

"I see, so you don't have a problem with me...then how about we stay out of each other's way from now on? Does that suit you?" I said dramatically, just to see her get even more annoyed. This was pretty funny.

"Geureomyeon! Well then, *clears throat* I shall take a leave now, Kim Seonsaengnim," Yoo-Ra slightly bowed her head and scurried off. (Of course!)

Kim Seonsaengnim was about to call her back, but I stopped her, "I think it's alright, she got the message."

"Are you sure? I don't want this to get out of hand, I wont hesitate to take it to a higher level if it does, Hae-Ri. I was the way she was threatening you,"

"Gwenchana, it'll be fine. I'll tell you if she ever bothers me again, promise," (It's okay)

"Keure," (If you say so)

...

"Hae-Ri yah! They've organised a movie-night for us! Bbali khaja!" Jessica squealed. (Hurry up)

"Arasseo, arasseo. Ganda!"  (Alright, alright. Coming!)
