Heeji's POV

The next day , I thought about what I've said and I cringed so hard that I felt so numb about everything else.

Being the rich daughter I am , everyone is trying to serve me as if i'm some sort of princess but i'm not and i'm far from one.

Does princesses eat fried chicken while placing her legs on the table ?

Lucky for me , there's no school today so I don't have to see Minho and think about the cringy thing that I said yesterday.

" Because i'm your personal bully and no one else can bully you. "

Is that some sort of confession ?

I walked to my bedroom and flipped through a photo book where I saw picture of me when I was really young and I realized that one of them looked like one of the bully I've met yesterday.

His the guy that didn't do much except for standing in the corner , too timid to do anything.

He doesn't look like he wants to follow them which means that he might be forced into following them for some sort of benefit.

" Dad , who's this ? " I pointed to the little boy who is standing beside me while smiling.

" He is your cousin but his family went bankrupt so he decided to follow a gang and I've never heard of him ever since then. " He said.

" I saw him yesterday. " I said and his eyes widened.

" He was with a gang but he didn't seemed like he wants to follow them. It looks as if he was forced to be with them. " I said.

" Where is he ? " My dad asked as he stood up , putting on his coat and taking his car key.

" I'm following. " I said and he shook his head.

" I got the information so I have to follow you in order to confirm it. " My dad gave up and eventually I followed him.

" What's his name ? " I asked.

" Seo Changbin. " I nodded as I got into his car and we drove to Hongdae where we walked around since the gang would usually walk around there.

Just as we've predicted , we saw them.

I spotted Changbin from afar since he got the good genes that I have.

What's creepy is the fact that they are holding a picture of Minho and asking around if they did see him.

" Dad , I think I have to hide. " I said and I told him a summary of what happened. He told me to hide and call the police.

I nodded as I ran to his store and waited at the top where I saw what was happening and I also called the police.

I suddenly remembered that I heard Changbin became soft whenever he heard about his grandmother which is also mine , me being the busybody I am went down to say that.

" Seo Changbin ! " I screamed and the whole gang turned to look at me but my only concentration was on Changbin.

" Would your grandmother be proud of your current situation ? would she be proud and say , good job Changbin ? " I asked and he seemed shocked.

He walked to me with a glare.

" Don't talk about my grandmother ! You have no rights ! " He raised his voice.

" I mean , I do have the rights. " I said and his eyes widened but it became even more angered.

" She's my grandma too. " I said and his eyes softened as he turned around slightly to see my dad staring at him.

" That's your dad ? " He whispered and I nodded.

" Eye him to run away and you too because the gang is planning on hunting for Minho and you guys are related to him. " I looked over at my dad and tell him to run.

He started running away but no one realized.

" What about you ? " He looked at me.

He grabbed my hand and we started running away from the gang as they chased after us. We found a school and we told the guards what is happening so he allowed us in.

We sat at the cafeteria as I contacted my dad and I told him to go back home.

" Why did you join them ? " I asked and he thought for a while before smirking.

" I guess I wanted money , not having money is like hell to me and they offered me a huge sum of money but I guess being in the gang is even worse. " He said.

" I know i'm going to go to jail soon because you called the police. " My eyes widened , how did he know ?

" If you're wondering how did I know , your phone showed the number just now. That's why I stood in front of your hand. " He said.

" How did you know i'm Changbin ? " He asked.

" I remembered you because you were that timid dude standing at the back of the gang , not daring to hit anyone. I looked through the photo album and realized you're him. " I said and he nodded.

" I missed school. I've not been to one for about two years now. " He smiled as he looked around.

" Oh yeah , how did you know Minho ? " He asked and I was hesitant to tell him.

" He is my classmate. " He smirked and asked if we are just classmates because I fought for him even though my life might be in danger.

" What did Minho do though ? " I asked.

He sighed and looked over at me.

" I don't know the exact details of what happened but what I heard of was that Minho used to be part of the gang too and he is the best fighter so the chief offered him a higher price and he accepted the money but he left without saying anything after taking the money. " He said.

" The chief found out and got so mad that he chased after Minho everywhere. Minho transferred school and they didn't managed to find him. " I nodded.

" Minho then exposed their gang secret and eventually they wanted to seek revenge so they find him and beat him up. " My eyes widened.

" I didn't know Minho was in a gang , he looks like someone who wouldn't even dare to kill an insect. " I said and Changbin smirked.

" Don't judge a book by it's cover. "
