9 ❣ A Mannequin 

"Min Jae, we have to tell you something," said Mihee during lunch the next day. She and Nabi pulled me to the end of the hallway at the stairs. Nobody uses these stairs during lunch so I guess it made sense to drag me here.

What was this about, anyway?

"Yesterday... wait, before that, we should apologize," Nabi said, getting on her knees, which I react to pulling her back on her feet.

"Yah, don't kneel. What's this about? I promise I won't be mad about it," I assured them, waiting for them to continue on.

"Yesterday, while Mihee and I walked back home, we saw someone on the way," Nabi started. She looked left and right, checking if anyone was there. She leaned in closer and whispered, "We saw Solji with Jihoon."

"What?" I asked, confused. "Wait, they met up?"

If I remember correctly, Jihoon suddenly had a text and needed to go first. I lingered around the bingsoo shop but there was something about Jihoon that made me feel uneasy again. He seemed somehow... mad. Like he didn't want to leave at all.

The last time I saw him like that was when I accidentally saw him talking to his dad. Why Solji all of a sudden then?

"That's not even the shocking part," Mihee chimed in. She-just like Nabi-looked left and right then whispered to me, "I think... they're going to be siblings."

"What?" I was so confused right now. Does that mean... Jihoon's dad was getting married to Solji's mom? What on earth was going on... "So that's why... Solji..."

This time, Mihee sighed, which made me curious. Why did she sigh all of a sudden.

"Wae? Wae? Wae? You just sighed. Sighing doesn't do good. Why did you sigh?" I asked Mihee. "Is something wrong? Did something happen? Mihee, tell me, please!"

Mihee and Nabi exchanged looks and finally Mihee said, "Solji... talked bad behind your back."

"What? What did she say?" I asked.

"She said something about... you being a nosy girl and that you're too bright and happy. She also said something about you'll never be successful with that type of attitude..." Mihee sounded like she regretted telling me this.

I clenched my fist, my heart feeling heavy all of a sudden. I never knew someone could treat me this way. I thought that if I treated everyone kindly, I wouldn't have to bother about things like these. Now with this happening... I just don't know what to do anymore.

And I thought we were friends. What kind of friend talks behind another friend's back? What kind of friend points out the bad? Friends are supposed to love them despite their downside and Solji is just there talking bad about me.

I looked up at Nabi and Mihee and said with a forced smile, "I'm not feeling so well right now. I'm going to head to the nurse's office. You guys go eat lunch and I'll see you in class later on."

Before they could say something to me, I quickly turned my heel and began walking away from the two of them. I needed some time alone right now so I headed to an area in school where you could sit under a tree. There was a provided bench there and no one goes there, so it was just the right place.

I sat down and felt hopeless once again. I never knew I could be hated for being myself... I never knew I could be hated if I was the cheery, happy pill that helps out my friends. What cruel life am I living in right now?
