"Want you to love me, love me
Will you look at me?"

- WINNER, "LOVE ME LOVE ME"

"I have NEVER been this disappointed with a team in my entire career!" coach nim hits the table with his fist hard, making most of us jump out of our skins.

We got kicked out of the championship.

Apparently, last night's rat and my mystery visitor had a recording of the party the school kids threw and all their drunk asses were now in deep trouble.

"I don't think I feel entirely wronged though, " Ms. Jung says sarcastically, "you over confident idiots had it coming."

We stand at the reception of the hotel, luggage in hand.

We have been told to immediately clear out.

The teams placed fifth will take part in the championship instead of us, and they'll need our rooms when they arrive.

Sooyoung besides me looks livid with anger, and I can see her glaring at me from the corner of her eyes.

As if I knew either.

"I have no idea what I should tell the Principal and the Director," Coach nim shakes his head, "I can't believe you couldn't resist getting drunk for just four days, you animals!"

Everyone looks down, no eye contacts, nothing.

"Did you know about their plans Hye Ran?" Ms. Jung asks me softly, "Why didn't you tell us?"

I have nothing to lose. It's their dumb fault I told them not to do this.

"I had no prior information Ms. Jung," I say straight-faced, nothing betraying my emotions.

Still no one says a word.

Who'd ever speak against me?

"Whatever, I'm done, just get up into the bus you all," coachnim says irritated and goes off towards the car.

All line up for the first time in their life and get into the bus without jostling for seats.

"You fucking housed a traitor," Sooyoung hisses at me all of a sudden.

"like I said Sooyoung, I didn't fucking know-"

"You teo have been whispering all day just tell me what it is!" Jimin bends forward towards us.

Sooyoung and I look at each other.

"What? You tell him," Sooyoung says annoyed and looks out of the window.

And so, I tell him.

-

"So like, you hid him for an entire night?" Jimin says strangely thoughtfully.

"I did, and then he fell asleep, I couldn't just throw him out in the hallway," I shrug.

"And he disappeared in the morning?"

"When I came back to the room at 4, he was already gone," Sooyoung says, her voice still mad.

Jimin leans back on his seat and stays there, contemplating for awhile.

"You did well," he finally concludes, and now I smile and lean back when Sooyoung breaks out saying, "What the fuck Park Jimin?!"

"What? Like Hye Ran says, they would've killed him, the boys were crazy drunk!"

"Oh okay, so like, you agree to get kicked out of the tournament and all the humiliation after it just because she saved a rat's life?!"

"We were the one breaking rules, it's not his fault he caught us," Jimin shrugs.

Sooyoung reaches her limits. She stands up suddenly and shouts, "Both of you are unbelievable!!!" and storms out from her seat.

I and Jimin look at each other.

He smiles.

Sooyoung will never walk out on us, and we know it just too well.

"We want answers!" Mr. Won, the principal, shouts on our faces, as Mr. Yook, the vice principal and some other teachers surround us and nod their heads solemnly.

I, Taehyung, coachnim and Ms. Jung had been called in to his office an hour after we returned.

And standing here now being asked the same questions, I am tired.

Nonw of us look up to their faces since we had no answers, and poor Taehyung still looked so sleepy that we could crawl on the floor right at this instant and fall asleep.

"I heard you didn't drink Ms. Park," Mr. Yook says softly to me, "did you not have any inkling to the incident at all?"

I mumble a no and continue looking down.

Mr. Yook sighs.

"I think we should just let them go Mr. Won, and question those who were seen in the footage," Mr. Yook suggests. As the others nod in reply, my heart drops.

Taehyung. Jimin. Sooyoung.

Whatever the reason, I don't want them to be harmed.

Why did they have to be so stupid?!

"You've already cost us a fine and two championships which we could have won," Mr. Won says sternly, "and now I'll get to clipping your wings, and I don't care about throwing out the star players even if it means bringing down the standard of the team. I've had enough of this nonsense. Two of you, out. Now," he says, pointing to me and Taehyung.

I bow in the directions in which the teachers stand and quickly turn around to leave.

"Hye Ran," Taehyung calls me.

Not the cheesy "babe" anymore.

"I'm sorry you have to go through all this," he says softly, as he puts up his hand to tuck a loose strand of hair behind my ears.

I instantly freeze. But then, now I realize how much the alcohol did the talking last night and that he remembered nothing of it and say, "It's okay Taehyung. Worry about saving yourself and your girlfriend from the sack," I smile and walk off towards the cafeteria where the others were waiting.

Whatever it maybe Kim Taehyung, I will not be taking crap from you anymore.
