SpartAce I: School Love Affair

Sorority

"Ji Hyo-ah..", Dong Hoon calls when they were already in bed that night.

Ji Hyo decided not to go back in her assigned room again, the guys let her without asking anymore questions.

"Yes? ", she asks from the bed she had slept on last night. Jong Kook had already agreed to stay with Kwang Soo in one bed.

"You should start calling us Oppa now."

"What? ", she asks, surprised.

"Right. What's wrong with that? ", Jae Suk asks and the others agreed.

"But.. ", she falters. She could feel the heat rising up to her cheeks with the thought.

She had not been around boys before and she had only called that endearment to her male cousins.

"Why are you blushing? Are you that thrilled to call me Oppa? ", Gary teases from the bed next to hers.

"No.. ", she defends and tries to keep a straight face despite of seeing Gary's teasing face.

"Look at her! ", Kwang Soo urges as he points at points at her.

She knows what he is talking about. She can feel the heat growing from warm to hot in her cheeks and she is certain she is blushing tomato red by now, making the guys laugh.

She looks away from them to conceal her bkushing face, deliberately making her hair fall down to cover her face.

"Ahh, i did not know Ji Hyo has this cute side of her. ", Jong Kook says.

"Right. We always see a blank look on her face at school. ", Jae Suk adds.

Ji Hyo lifts her head up when she feels that her cheeks aren't warm anymore.
"You better stop now. ", she says with a warning tone.

After the teasing dies down, everyone were already lying in there bed, asleep.

She could not sleep though so she decides to head out of the room.

"Where are you going? ", someone asks before she could close the door.

She looks back and sees Jong Kook, lying next to the snoring Kwang Soo.

"Uh.. just going out for some air. "

"You better not get in trouble again.", he reminds.

"Tss. ", she rolls her eyes and closes the door behind her.

The corridor is well lit but it is now empty. She silently walked towards the balcony of the second floor lobby and is met by the cold gush of air.

She pulls her jacket tight into her skin as she walks towards the railings, amazed by the sight below.

The lawn and trees below are being lit by the bright moon's silver glow, making it look mysteriously beautiful.

The cold night breeze blows her dark long hair away, but she does not care, for nobody is there to judge her.

She breathes in the cold air, feeling free for the first time in a while now. That alone makes her thankful that she gets to come in a place like this.

Suddenly, she hears the sound of footsteps, making her spin around.

She sees the form of the girl she had hit in the arm earlier, together with a bunch of mean looking girls, and she immediately knows she is in trouble.

"Should we make her pay back, Lilia?", one girl asks the one she had hit earlier.

"Let's begin. ", Lilia answers.

She backs away and is cornered in the railings with girls appoaching in both her sides.

"Are you in a sorority or something? ", she asks.

Instead of answering, two girls grab her by the arms.

She slung them away as she yells, "Don't you dare touch me! "

Both the girls who grabbed her tumbles backwards but recovers before they could fall to the floor.

"She's quite strong. ", one of them says in annoyance.

She could have fought them off 1vs5 but she is not that great and after that one episode of resistance, they simply grab her by the hair and drag her out of the building while Lilia covers her mouth to prevent her from making a noise.

They push her to the ground the moment they reach a good distance from the house, and she nearly kisses the ground if her arms are not strong enough to stop the fall.

Unfortunately, it also hit some pebbles and rocks, and she immediately feels the sting in her forearms.

She prevents the curse from escaping her mouth and gets to her feet.

"Ooh. You're the annoying type, huh.", Lilia says. Ji Hyo sees a flash of her mischievous grin against the moonlit darkness.

"What do you want? ", Ji Hyo asks.

"Want? Hmm. Let's see.. I want to break your arm like you did to mine. I want to kick your face again and again until it bleeds to tatters. And i want you out of here. "

"All this for a simple accident? "

"Accident? Hey, you slut! ", Lilia calls her.

It rings in her ears again and again, her temper rising at danger point. "What? ", she asks in a challenging tone.

Did she just call her Slut?

"Yes. Slut. You dare sleep in a room together with six guys. "

"Hey, listen. My mind isn't as contaminated as yours. "

Lilia chuckles. "She's even acting innocent. Girls, just get on with damaging that face of hers. She's getting irrutating by the second. "

Ji Hyo tries to get up but two girls grab her by the arms and lifts her up in a kneeling position, and then another girl slaps her face hard that she think her head is about to fall off her body.

She grits her teeth to prevent making a sound. She is not going to give them the satisfaction of hearing her pain.

It has been about her fourth slap when they hear the sound of shoes stepping on gravel.

The girls look at the direction it is coming, and even Ji Hyo sees a silhouette of a tall, bulky figure in a distant.

The person stops when he sees them. "J-Ji Hyo? "

That sound of someone recognizing her sends a bit of relief in her chest.

But before the guy can do something, four of the girls approaches the guy.

Strangely, he backs away.

"Wait. Wait. ", he says, his voice turning panicked as the girls come and grab him on either arms.

"Wait, don't make me hurt you! ", he says.

Ji Hyo stands up but stays cautious with Lilia still standing near her.

"Aish! Why don't you just push them away! ", she yells at the guy whom she suspect is Jong Kook.

"I might hurt one of them! "

"Yah! Is now the time to be worrying about that?! "

"Ahhh! Just go! ", he yells as he turns around and runs away, with the girls on her wake.
