imaginary friend - red velvet

iii

park sooyoung (joy) and kim yerim (yeri)

extra: bae juhyun (irene) and son seungwan (wendy) and kang seulgi (seulgi)

mrs. lim, the algebra teacher, handed back the algebra tests back two days later, and yerim could feel the guilt pooling up inside her. she was still wondering how sooyoung was able to get her the answers without the teacher noticing, but she guessed it wasn't really any of her business. 

yerim stared at the a+ test in front of her and stored it away safely in her backpack. her mother would be happy to know that she aced yet another test. 

"the highest score in this class was yet again, kim yerim," mrs. lim announced. the other students in the class gave her envious looks and her friends cheered for her. 

"look at the youngest of the group, getting those good grades!" juhyun, the eldest girl, said. 

"it makes me feel like a proud mother," seungwan joked. 

"totally," seulgi agreed and pretended to wipe away a tear. 

the guilt in yerim grew larger at each of her friends' praises. 

after all, they weren't actually her smarts. 

sooyoung had cheated for her.
