Switching Sides [Exo & BTS]

Chapter Eight

"Jongin and Chaerin." What. My head whipped to look and Jungkook and he was muttering something under his breath. 'What in the...are you kidding me?' I mouthed and he mouthed back, 'I know right!' Taking a peep at Jongin, I saw his worried expression. That's right Jongin. You better be worried. Why should I work with a traitor?

"Ah since Jungkook and Yoongi has no partner, they'll just go with each other." Jaebum smiled. What?! Not fair! Yoongi stuck out his tongue at me and I rolled my eyes. "Okay now. I want all of you to choreograph a dance for a song. You can pick whatever song you want. This isn't graded but I hope that you will still treat it seriously. Now, for the remaining half an hour, why don't you start on some brainstorming?"
And with that, Jaebum sent us to different corners of the room to prepare.

"Looks like I'll be working with you Chaerin." Jongin tried to sound positive despite knowing what I thought of him at this point of time.

"Trust me, a few month ago, I would have liked it." I scowled. "So what should I do for my part huh? Scrub the floor?"

Jongin looked at me with a sad expression and turned me around to face him. "I'm sorry okay? I admit, I was scared that I would be treated the same way! None of us would have wanted you to become a servant!"

"Oh really? You guys were sure eager for me to come back home despite knowing just what would be of me if I did."

"Well...Father asked us-"

"Sehun and Baekhyun could do it. So could you Jongin. Maybe if you had a little courage, we could be as a happy family again." I could feel my tears welling up but I refused to be seen as a pitiful, helpless girl.

"Why can't we still be siblings?"

"I'm adopted Jongin! And you know that! You knew that all along!"

"But we've always treated you like a sister!"

"You sure didn't when your well-being was threatened. Anyway, I don't want to fight with you. Let's just get this over with and pray that we never have to work together ever again."

"I'll show you how much I care for you Chaerin." Jongin said confidently.

Jongin's POV
I'll show you that I care. I made a mistake and I'll do all it takes to make you see me as your brother again.
Chaerin's POV
"It's going to be hard to trust you again Jongin."

"But it's not impossible." Jongin said. I looked at him and he smiled a warm smile, a smile that I trusted and loved seeing in the past.

"We'll see."
Sehun's POV
I can't believe that Joy's my biology partner. Gosh, what is Chaerin gonna feel? Suddenly, someone put her hands on mine and I turned my head to find Joy staring into my eyes. "Hey Sehunn~ I'm Joy! Nice to meet you! Let's work well together okay?" I couldn't help but smile back.

"I'm Sehun and I'm sure we'll work together fine!" She laughed and took a seat beside me.

"So, you're pretty close to Chaerin huh?" I nodded my head.

"Oh, what's so good about her?"

"Uh...she's nice and kind and..."

"Nice?" Joy scoffed. "How is she nice?"

"Well-"

"Do you remember how mean she was to Mother and I?"

"At that point of time it was self-defence-"

"She could have done it nicely?"

"I guess she could've been more-" But I got interrupted by Taehyung.

"Well I think your mother was disgustingly mean. She could have done it...nicely?" Joy looked embarrassed for a moment. Then again, Taehyung was exceptionally handsome and was the third richest after her. However, her embarrassment went away and she frowned.

"You support Chaerin too Taehyung?"

Taehyung rolled his eyes and walked away.

"No one gets me! I've never gotten any attention and I was mean to Chaerin just to defend my Mother! I never intended to make Chaerin a maid!" Joy exclaimed. She is actually in quite a pitiful state. Joy didn't mean to hurt Chaerin did she? Poor girl, Bangtan and Chaerin thinks that she's a mean brat.

"It's okay Joy. I understand you." I comforted as I patted her back. Joy smiled brightly at me and my heart melted. Such a cute girl...

Joy's POV
Chaerin. You might have escaped from working for me. You might have found another family which even happens to be the richest in Korea and seven friends who happen to be the most popular boys in Korea. But your beloved Sehun is not going to be there for you any longer. Because I know that he is more precious than anything else that you have. You've beaten me for now, but I'll win Sehun from you.

Taehyung's POV
I walked away, frustrated. Can't Sehun see that she's trying to seduce him or something? That annoying brat, stealing everything that Chaerin has. Class ended and I whipped out my phone. "Namjoon? Gather them and Baekhyun. Ah don't forget Chaerin. Leave Sehun though. We need to talk."
