"SEONMI!!! GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE NOW!!!" I heard Seonho scream the moment the front door opened. He slammed the door behind himself. He was clearly upset and I was scared of what he was going to say. I cautiously walked out of my room. When I reached the top of the stairs I could hear him impatiently tapping his foot on the floor.
"Hey Seonho, funny seeing you here..." I awkwardly spoke as I slowly descended from the top of the staircase.
"Why are you home early? Why weren't you at lunch? And, oh yeah, why weren't you in class?!" I could see his face slowly reddening.
"Seonho, look-"
"No. Don't 'Seonho, look' me. You've been acting weird lately and I've let multiple things pass. But skipping?! SKIPPING?! What were you thinking?! You could've gotten hurt or kidnapped! Were you even with someone?! If so, who were you with?! Who made you think it was a good idea?!" I could tell he was upset and disappointed but that deep down he was mostly worried.
"It was my fault. Don't blame this on anyone else. It was my decision."
"Were you alone? Can you at least tell me you had someone with you? You don't even have to tell me who." He softly said, trying to make sure I was safe.
"I wasn't alone. There was someone with me. I'm fine. I'm sorry. But about what's been going on...I can't tell you. Well, I could, but I'm just not ready..." I said softly.
"He's getting curious about your past. Eventually he's gonna find out, you do know that right? Eventually, everyone you're close to will find out. Especially if Minho is still around. He'll either deliberately tell them or it'll slip. Either way it won't be a secret for too long." I softly gasped, remembering what Woojin said.
"Are you okay?" I nod.
"I just remembered something. I need to go ask Minhyun for the homework. I'll be in my room if you need me." I sprinted off to my room not giving Seonho the chance to say anything. I shut the door and ran to my bed. I immediately grabbed my phone and texted Minhyun in an attempt to distract myself.
Seonmi:
Hey Minhyun
Locket:
Yeah?
Locket:
Wait, why weren't you in class today? Where'd you go? Your brother was asking about you? Did you skip?
Seonmi:
I just couldn't get myself to go to class. My mind has been really distracted recently but, can you tell me what the homework was?
Locket:
There were multiple things, I'll just send you some pictures
Locket:
4 picture messages
Seonmi:
Thank you!!!
Locket:
You're welcome.
Locket:
I hope that your free day helped you clear your mind.
Locket:
I expect to see you in school tomorrow since your brother would probably kill you if you skipped again.
Seonmi:
I'll be there
I sighed and took out the materials I would need for the homework. But I wasn't able to start once I heard my phone go off multiple times. I looked at it.
Lin Lin:
Where were you? Your brother was worrying

JiJi:
SEONMI
JiJi:
Your brother was looking for you

Guitar Boy:
Did you skip?
I sighed in frustration and threw my phone to the side.
"I shouldn't have done that." I mumbled to myself. I shut my eyes and exhaled.
"Okay, let's do this stupid homework." I say to myself.
"Seonmi..." He sounded hesitant, like he wasn't sure if I would actually respond. However I had no choice, he had a soft grip on my wrist to stop me from walking away. It was loose enough to give me the option of walking away, but I knew better, it would tighten the moment I tried. I've been in this situation multiple times before with Minho. I waited for him to finish his thought.
"...why weren't you in school yesterday?" I paused for a moment. I started feeling stares burning into me.
"She's around Seongwoo a lot too." I sighed.
"Who does she think she is?" I tense as the gazes don't stop.
"I didn't feel well. I stayed home." I spoke with as little emotion as I could manage. He might've took the words in a harsh way but I just wanted to leave. I would say sorry to him later.
"But I thought I saw-"
"She said she didn't feel well. Leave it at that." Seongwoo looked behind me at the person who cut him off. He almost seemed unsurprised. I didn't have to turn around to know who it was.
"Why are you almost always around when I talk to her?" Seongwoo questions.
"I promised her I would protect her. It's kinda part of the job to be around, isn't it?" Seongwoo looked confused. At some point, he let go of my wrist and I didn't notice until now.
"I wanna protect you when you can't handle it entirely on your own, like with Minho." I softly smiled to myself.
"It is, and you're doing quite well. I didn't have faith in you when this begun." I spun around and faced Woojin as I spoke, giving him a soft smile.
"Well, that's a shame to hear." He said with a small pout.
"You proved me wrong." I said and lightly punched his arm in a joking manner. Softly laughing in the process. Completely forgetting about the fact that I was talking to Seongwoo and people were staring. The moment I remembered, I felt awkward. My smile fell and I looked at the ground.
"Well, you two can talk in class. But for now, I'll be taking her." I could almost hear the smirk on Woojin's face as he spoke. At the same time, Woojin put his arm around me and faced Seongwoo. I saw Seongwoo stare at us, speechless.
"What? Is she your girlfriend or something?" Seongwoo questioned, still confused. My eyes widened. I could see Woojin's smirk grow from my peripheral.
"Maybe she is. All I know is she isn't yours." With that, Woojin walked me away from Seongwoo and to my class. But I could hear the whispers circulating around in the hall.
"She's such a slut."
"Wasn't she dating Jihoon? Isn't that his best friend?"
"Wasn't she the one who was in the closet with Minho?"
"I saw her with Daniel the other day."
"She's always around boys."
"How could she do that?"
I wanted to run away. I wanted to cry. I felt like shit. But worst of all, Jinyoung saw the situation. And the moment we made eye contact, he walked away.
<A/N> Okay, I know I said I would publish a chapter before the year ended but I felt extremely unmotivated in the days leading up to Christmas. I felt like I wouldn't be able to accomplish anything so I didn't even try to do anything. Honestly 2017 and 2018 have kind of taken a little bit of a toll on me but I'm getting better. I've started 2019 with some motivation and ideas for my writing so things seem to be looking up. I would make a schedule to follow by for updating but I know it will only intimidate me and I will hate myself if I can't update on the day(s) I promised. So until I can get more consistent, I won't have an update schedule. But I will try to update more than I did last year. <A/N>
