shutting her eyes, she gathered all the strength she could find within her petite body
and swung her arm back, getting ready to

strike.

"wow! that was awesome!"

yoongi exclaimed–baffled.

soojeong brought her hand to stroke the opposite arm nervously.

"th-thanks." she said in a hushed voice.
she could feel chunhwa's eyes piercing through her skin, carving an incandescent

i hate you

in her back.

soojeong looked over at her for a brief second.
she did not seem happy. her lips were in a pout, tongue passing over her whitened straight teeth behind the coverage of her soft lips. eyes squinted in annoyance–looking anywhere which could distract her from soojeong's mere presence.

it was getting to her now, she had to take a breather.

jungkook's hundredth embrace was tightening around on her, and although she wasn't exactly complaining,

she had to stop it.

"i'm going to go...get a drink." she pushed his firm shoulder lightly with her index finger.

he pulled away, a very evident smirk plastered on his youthful face.

"okay."

"okay." she replied and his smile stretched even farther.

even her glare became more powerful.

。。。

soojeong sighed
and reached out to grab the humid can that had just slipped through the opening of the vending machine.

she got so close to doing so,
when another hand finished the job for her.

an eyebrow arched;
an ironic, tight lipped smile.

"so...
what kind of chemistry do you two have?"

soojeong felt a suffocating lump in her throat. even better, her face heated up.

she knew exactly what chunhwa was talking about.
who she was talking about.

but she failed to think of an answer. so she stayed quiet.

chunhwa was growing impatient.

"i can't believe it. you're wasting his time!"
she took a menacing step towards soojeong, face and mind boiling with fury.

"i can't believe you're my replacement. jungkook could–"

the rest of her sentence was silenced by the sound of soojeong's heart and mind shattering so loudly that the memory was also almost inaudible.
it was a devastating blow to her
self-esteem.

"i'm...

i'm going back." she commented and began to walk away.

chunhwa scoffed.

"hey, jungkook."

he nodded toward her,
"noona."

she wasn't that much older than him.

"how a– is that soojeong?"

he spotted her walking back.

"oh u-um... i guess it is but, hey! we haven't spoken in a long time–"

she couldn't cast her spell quick enough–he had escaped.
