Regret

7: Sayongja

Beryl's POV

"Okay, here's the formula for number one. First, you have to...*bla blu blip blu blap*..."

Here we are in class, listening to Mrs. Gill's, our General Math teacher, discussion. I still don't know how to do this and that even if I'm listening. If only you can notice, there are only four people here who can follow the steps. And it's Clare, Jia, Reye, and Ah-Seun. Well, they're fast learners, especially Ah-Seun.

An hour later...

"That's all for this day. Bye cla--oh wait, I almost forgot to tell you all. Since all teachers will have a very important meeting, you can all go home now. Okay, bye everyone." Mrs. Gill announced.

"'Bye Misis Gill." we all said then she left.

"Class let's go. I have to lock the room now." Mrs. Huang said.

"'Bye Misis Huang." we all said.

"'Bye everyone, take care."

We all started going downstairs. How nice! I can rest my brain for the meantime, geez.

"Celeste eonnie, let's go." Lia said. What are they up too???

"Psst."

"Ah why?"

"Where are you guys going?"

"To the mall. You know, bonding time and stuff?" Celeste said.

"Oh okay." I said then mouthed "Be careful with those two."

"Yeah sure." she mouthed back. Good thing they're not looking. Those two are fakers. You think they're actually nice? They're just gonna befriend someone who acts demure and well-behaved like Celeste because they need something. You'll see, they won't even help her if she's having trouble. Or worst, they'll just leave her behind.

"Ate, tara na! (Beryl, let's go!)"

Oh, it's my brother. He's section three.

"Okay Vern."

Lia's POV

Hey it's me again! Hao (Okay), we just arrived here in the mall and now we're checking out stuff.

"Good bye baby good bye

Turn around and go on..."

"Oh wait, my twin's calling...yeoboseyo?...I'm in the mall...With Lia and Gaiea...Naneun arayo (I know)...Ne, go ahead...Okay you too, 'bye...Sorry for making you wait, he just asked me where I am. Okay, let's continue." Celeste said.

"Yeah, it's okay." I said and smiled. Correction: "fake" smile.

Hyoneul's POV

"Seojung, gwaenchana (are you okay)?" Yeon.

"Hey namdongsaeng, you're not yourself today. What's with the smile?" Soorim.

"Admiring someone?" Yeon.

"N-Ne noonas. (Y-Yes.)" Seojung said and looked away.

"Omo nugu? (Oh my who?)" Yeon asked excitingly.

"It's...it's...what's her name again? Noona's Japanese friend?"

"Ah Miku?"

"N-ne i-imo. (Y-Yes aunt.)Of course why would I forget." Seojung said and looked away quickly.

"Aww, chukhahae (congrats). You're a man now." I joked and giggled.

"Annyeong. (Hi.)"
