7 - finally a friend

"It was you?????"

Birds outside the house flattered from their posts on scattered trees as Y/N's exclamation echoed.

She stands in her wrinkled uniform, mouth agape in astonishment as her brother explains what actually happened after she tripped.

"What? Yea, obviously it was me. Did you not recognize me?" Joe echoed.

"I could only really make out a silhouette of a guy..."

"Well, yes I was the one who helped you up. I was literally walking right behind you, I saw the whole thing happen."

"Oh...you did?" Y/N replies sheepishly.

"Yea. Sis, you really should be careful with that group of guys. I've been hearing some stuff about them and they seem like playboys, not to mention jerks."

"I know, they do seem jerk-y." Y/N says, thinking back to her rude interactions with Jeongguk.

But I thought Taehyung was different...

"Are you doing okay though? You know, after lunch today?"

Y/N sighs, "What do you think?" she replies weakly, rubbing her still puffy eyes.

Joe replies with a sympathetic look.

"You know what, " Y/N sighs. "Whatever. Let's just start today's workout."

Joe's a bit hesitant to how quickly his sister just brushed the whole thing off, but decides this probably isn't the best time to disagree with her.

Little does he know, she tried extra hard that day, and she was thinking about proving herself to all her bullies, especically Taehyung, the entire time.

---next morning­---

Arriving to school, Y/N tries to hide herself as much as she can. The wound from yesterday's rejection was still fresh. However, seeing how she walks after two days of non-stop weight-loss training, being out of sight was not going to be possible.

The loud girl coming up to her and talking wasn't helping either.

"Hi!" The girl says, after suddenly blocking Y/N's path to school. She wears a bright smile on her face and her skirt is slightly lower than all the other girls at school.

"Hi." Y/N replies nonchalantly, before awkwardly circling around her after realizing she wasn't going to move out of the way.

Not even moving 3 feet from where she was first stopped, the overly chirpy girl blocks Y/N's path again and says: "Wait! You're Y/N right? The one who was rejected at lunch yesterday?"

"Uh," Y/N clears her throat, "yea..."

The girl notices that her question made Y/N uncomfortable, so she changes the subject. "What class are you in?" She asks.

"9B."

The girl is confused since she didn't recall ever hearing about class numbers going over 7 in her school. She opens her mouth to clarify but Y/N stops her confusion by adding: "9B as in nine of your Business!" Before circling around this annoying girl again, a little faster this time.

This sudden statement leaves the girl in shock, but she seems persistence since she stops Y/N for the third time and extends a hand out to shake this time.

Y/N is beyond annoyed and confused at this point. What is this girl's deal? She thinks.

"My name is Seulgi, nice to finally meet you. Want to be friends?" she says, hope shining in her eyes. But the response was anything but hoped for.
