4《Irene》

*Jihyo's POV*

I can't believe it... Irene is really out there doing whatever she wants.

Tears fell as I thought of what she did to my best friend years ago.

"Are you okay?" I looked up.

"No.." I shook my head.

"Come here," Youngjae spread out his arms and I walked to it. "Don't think about her if it makes you feel so bad,"

"Nayeon..." I whispered my bestie's name while sobbing. He rested his chin on my head and rubbed my back to calm me down. "..she's gone, Youngjae, I miss her,"

"It's okay," He said softly. "I understand the feeling,"

I looked up at him. His facial features are just perfect. Any girl would easily fall for him, but he gotta become the original Youngjae first. The one that smiles and laughs, the one that loves himself and his life, the one that isn't afraid of the future.

*YoungJae's POV*

She cried, making a part of my shirt wet with tears.

"It's okay," I repeated softly, running my fingers through her soft hair.

"Irene." She suddenly said, her tone filled with hatred. "She's going to get what she deserves."

I picked up her phone and asked. "What happened?"

"You'll know soon." She pulled away and sat on the edge of the bed, deep in thought.

I didn't dare to ask another question, afraid that she'll explode.

After what seemed like hours of silence, she looked up.

"I'm hungry, let's go eat," She pulled me up gently.

"I'm fine," I assured her. "I can walk on my own."

She finally lets go, but still keeps an eye on me. We walked slowly to a restaurant, since we are both sick of the hospital food.

"I'll have dumplings, I guess," I said while looking at the menu.

"Don't eat that," She said. "Nayeon died after eating that."

I widened my eyes and quickly chose something else. It's not like I'm scared, but I don't want Jihyo to worry too much.

"What... happened to... Nayeon?" I managed to ask.

"She got poisoned," She stared at her fingers. "By Irene."

I widened my eyes and gasped. I can't believe it. How can someone be so cruel?

"...Why?"

"It's hard to explain..." She sighed. "Irene is the principal's daughter. She basically gets away with anything because the principal never believes what she does to her classmates."

She paused for a few moments, looked up, and continued. "I was bullied by her back in middle school. Nayeon stood up for me, causing Irene to turn her attention to her. At first, it was okay-ish, she tripped her a few times, but after that, she started getting worse. She poured toilet water in her lunch once, locked her in the classroom after school, ripped her homework notebook, no one dared to stop her, or even tell the teachers. Of course teachers knew, but they didn't do anything. I should've did something..."

She blinked a few times to keep her tears back. "She got poisoned one night, when I came out to eat with her. She told the waiter something when we sat down, and came over, asking to eat together. We couldn't say no, so we agreed. The next morning I saw my roommate/bestie, dead in her bed. Investigators took her body and tested it, and I got to know that she was poisoned."

I can't believe it. She used her sleeves to wipe away a few drops of tears that fell, and I just kept my mouth shut.

"I have video clips of what security cameras got, and a few classmates sent me others. Irene will get what she deserves. I swear she will." Her expression darkened, and just looked at the table, nodding slowly.

"You don't have to be scared, youngjae, I won't do cruel things," She smiled. "I'll leave it to the police."

I lifted my head and smiled at her, she's such a logical person.
