Wicked Caste

Attention

Joohyun immediately stood up, she left the classroom, ignoring all the fake Hi's and contingent friendship her classmates are offering her.

She's going to look for Sooyoung.

'Ugh! That girl! Seriously!'

She sighed deeply out of frustration and worry. Why didn't the girl wait for her? Did Sooyoung already forgot that she is the Queen? Maybe Joohyun cannot make rule but she can somehow protect Sooyoung.

Joohyun reached the rooftop after scanning the whole school and she didn't saw Sooyoung. Her worry is beginning to grow bigger, thinking of the possible scenarios that Sooyoung is experiencing at the moment.

Considering Sooyoung, she's probably terrified that's why she left without saying anything.

She pulled her phone out and was about to call Sooyoung when a voice of a male interrupted her. "You shouldn't leave just like that. I've been looking for you," Irritation clear in his voice.

"Look I'm not in the mood too, Jack. I know you don't want to hang out with me and you are free to just leave me alone. I'm looking for my friend," Joohyun explained and even though her initial reaction is to bitch out, she's too exhausted to do so. Also Jin's presence is adding to the mix of emotions she currently have at the moment.

"Who? The Whore?" Jin asked.

"Don't call her that!" Joohyun snapped and Jin shoot both of his hands up, signalling that he's not gonna fight.

Though the words that came out of his mouth says it otherwise, "But that's her character, she's the Whore, and you're the Queen," Jin cut the distance between him and Joohyun, he leaned down, making sure that Irene can see his face clearly, "I'm sure you're well aware that your characters are not on the same page. You can't be friends anymore,"

Joohyun glared at the male, "And I'm also sure you know that the King owns the Queen. Know your place Jack," Joohyun walked pass the male, her legs are shaking but she can manage.

But Jin caught her arms, preventing her to walk further, "This game is boring without a little twist you know? They play us? Let's play them too," Jin paused, giving out the deadliest smile ever, "And it's not like people in our Kingdom are unaware of how the Queen is head over heels for the Jack," Joohyun's eyes snapped up to meet with Jin's. The cruelty is evident yet it didn't fazed her, more like it draws her even more deeper as they lock gazes, "And who knows? Maybe the King needs the Whore better than he needs his Queen,"

Joohyun gulped down, the way Jin is looking at her made her feel like she's exposed, bare in front of him.

Jin is ruthless.

That thing alone is enough for Joohyun to hate the male but she just couldn't bring herself to it.

Seulgi knows that her character card is very inaccurate. The Dummy must be fast together with the Ace. And that's her problem, she's too slow and dumb to be an errand boy.

The only good thing that happened is that Park Jimin is the Ace.

Ah, Park Jimin.

A giddy smile left her lips she as she stand up from her seat. Seulgi can feel the way her classmates look at her. They're judging her again and once she made eye-contact with them, they gave her sweet smiles.

Seulgi would be lying if she says she's not sad about how people think of her and the way they treat her. They made her feel like she's trash.

"Hey, let's go eat lunch together," A male voice made Seulgi halt from her track. She turned around to see Park Jimin standing there while looking at her.

"R-really?" She asked, confirming if the offer is for real. The beat of her heart is enough to make her understand how much she likes her Knight so much.

"Yes," Jimin smiled, the way his snob face turned into a very cute one is such a transition no one should miss, "The General might suddenly ask me to do something, it's better that we're together already instead of either of us looking for each other," Jimin explained, the way Seulgi looks at him made him feel a little conscious.

"Okay!" Seulgi answered, a total bright expression can be seen on her face.

Jimin chuckled, "I like that I'm going to be working with you again," he said making the girl choke on her own saliva.

She can feel her cheeks heating up, and her heartbeat is so fast she's afraid it will break.

"M-me too," she stutters as she replies back.

Right. They were King and Queen on freshman year, and the Ace who spends so much together with the General rather than the dummy on their Junior year. The sophomore was bad though.

It's wrong.

Seungwan knows how wrong it is to sit in the middle of a famous clique where everyone's attention is on her while her bestfriend is probably out there being beaten up or something.

It's wrong because she could do something yet she's there.

It's wrong how she enjoys every bit of praise and attention all these people are giving to her.

Is it really wrong?

She never experience all of these. It's the first time she became part of the stars and to her luck, she's the Muse.

Is it really wrong to take all of their complements and use it to build her own self-esteem? All these time, she hide behind her bestfriend, Yeri's shadow as the latter is quiet famous to the commoners. She gave people attention and got used to being disregarded or unnoticed.

But right now is a pure bliss. She's got it all!

Is it really wrong to push aside the growing guilt inside her because she choose to stay and be these people's center of attraction instead of looking for Yeri and protect her at all cost?

Yes, Yeri might be famous among the commoners but it's not like Seungwan's unaware that there are people who hates Yeri for being naturally loveable.

And she could be one of them?
