she opened her eyes. she felt terrible. she was still in the same hellhole as before. she got up and went to the bathroom. she looked like crap. her eyes were puffy, her hair was a mess. she was disgusted with herself.

she took care of everything, washing her face, grooming her hair, etc. she popped in her 2 earbuds, grabbed her backpack and left.

she walked to school and made it to her locker. she didn't want to see jaebum. she didn't want to talk to him. she opened her locker slowly and started taking out her things and placed them in her locker while simultaneously taking out the things she needed for her class. she closed her locker, and there he was.

she ignored his presence and just walked past him. he quickly caught up to her and walked by her side. he didn't question her actions, even if they didn't spend yesterday together. she was probably not much of morning person. he walked her to her class and she left without saying a word. he sighed and left for his own class.

she entered the classroom and went to her regular seat, her music still blasting. she laid her head in her arms and tested on the desk. she closed her eyes and just listened to the music. class didn't start for another 10 minutes; the teacher was always running late.

she felt one of her ear buds being yanked out, so she opened her eyes. she was met with skirt and looked up. it was choi yumi, the jealous queen bee, who hated dahyun for "taking away" her precious jaebum.

"can i help you?"

she had better things to do than watch yumi stare at her with hatred.

"stay away from my boyfriend!"

her voice was shrieking and made dahyun cringe; it was so high and perky.

"can you leave? i'd rather not start of the day with you making a scene again."

yumi was fuming. she hated how shameless this girl was to answer back to her like that.

"i'm serious, kim dahyun! i can destroy you! this is your last warning!"

dahyun rolled her eyes.

"oh, no. i'm sooooo scared."

she replied to yumi in a monotonous voice. she just wanted her to leave her alone.

"just you wait." (cue hamilton)

she turned around and pranced back to her friends, probably gossiping and hating on dahyun.

dahyun just slumped down on her desk and buried her head in her arms.

"class is dismissed. enjoy your lunch, students."

dahyun got all her stuff together and slowly exited the classroom. she knew jaebum was waiting outside, but she ignored him. he just simply followed. she placed her headphones in again and walked to her locker in silence.

throwing all her books in, she slammed her locker shut and began walking to the cafeteria. she sat down at an empty table and buried her head in her arms again. she didn't feel like eating.

she knew jaebum sat across from her, watching her. he was wondering why she decided to close up her heart again. he saw a sneak peek of it yesterday and wanted to see more, but she shut it closed.

he frowned. he decided to go buy his lunch, so he left the table. not that she noticed. while he was away, yumi was scheming from afar.

dahyun started crying. she didn't let anyone see, but her tears started raining down her face. she hated her life.

splat.

dahyun stopped crying as she felt something wet being smeared. she slowly lifted her head and saw choi yumi standing in front of her, a victorious smirked laced on her face. she had dumped her lunch on dahyun's head and gotten the attention of the cafeteria.

"i told you to stop."

she arrogantly walks around dahyun. she snaps and one of her girls brings over their tray of food quickly.

"jaebum doesn't want you. he wants me. he just feels sorry for you. because you're a little loner, who can't seem to make any friends and has family problems."

she took the tray of food and dumped it on her head. inside, dahyun was fuming. outside, her face was drowned with sorrow.

"stop! yumi stop!"

jaebum ran towards the scene. he glanced at dahyun who was covered in food. he turned his attention back to yumi, who nervously gulped.

"what the hell are you doing?!"

his loud, booming voice scared yumi and made her jump.

"do think doing this is gonna make me want you back? you're disgusting."

"but oppa-"

"get out of my face."

she whimpered, her eyes growing wide.

"but-"

"i said leave!"

she quickly ran off, her little posse following her. he turned to dahyun who was staring at the table. tears rolled down her cheeks.

"hey, let's go get you clean-"

"stop. please stop."

he frowned.

"dahyun, i-"

"stop! you don't understand!"

"i'm just trying to help."

"then stop trying! leave like everyone else! don't stay in my fucked up world!"

"but i want to."

"stop saying that! i want to trust you, but after everything that's happened to me, i can't. so leave. don't bother with me."

she got up from the table and left the cafeteria, leaving a very confused, broken jaebum.
