Regret ➳ Bang Chan

Chapter 12

Frantic knocks were heard on Junghas front door.

Quickly, she crept out of bed and down the stairs, opening the door to see Jennie standing there, a very worried expression painted across her soft features.

Without saying anything, she walked in and hugged the troubled girl, the hug lasting over a minute.

They pulled away from eachother, Jennie scanning the opposite's face.

"Wow.." Jennie said, staring intently at Jungha's face. "You look awful."

Jungha pouted while Jennie pulled her by her arm to the couch, ushering her to elaborate on the subject of her concerns.

"I beat someone up. She's in the hospital." Jungha's face was blank.

"What?"

"I beat someone up."

Jennie sighed.

"Who was it?" she pressed cautiously, in an attempt to not make the situation worse.

"Joohyun," Jungha bowed her head down shamefully.

Jennie stared at the traumatized girl with wide eyes. Her mouth was slightly agape as she repeated Jungha.

"Joohyun?" she confirmed, her voice cracking at the end.

Jungha nodded her head. "I don't know what came over me, I guess it was just all of-"

"THAT'S ALMOST AS AMAZING AS CHRIS EVAN'S ABS!" Jennie shouted. She was now laughing and her face was gleaming with victory.

"Just think about it, so she's been beating you up for years and suddenly you get to do it back to-"

"It's not amazing." Jungha mumbled.

"-and honestly, who'd even care if she got-" Jennie continued.

"Its not amazing!" Jungha screamed. She put her head in her hands as her body shook. "It's not in any way, shape or form amazing.

Jennie had a meek look on her face as she moved forward on the couch to hug Jungha again.

"Tell me exactly what happened," said Jennie.

10 MINUTES LATER

"Wow, that's..." Jennie trailed off.

"Bad," Jungha finished off and laughed bitterly.

"Yeah, it's... bad," the friend agreed. "BUT - there's always good that comes from the bad." She continued optimistically.

"Like?" Jungha pressed, unamused.

"She'll be the one scared of you," she smirked sitting back while crossing her legs.

A comfortable silence fell between the girls as Jungha thought for a minute.

"Yeah," she said. "Maybe that is good!" she smiled, ultimately bringing up the whole mood in the living room. For a second, she forgot that she had just lost Chan, a very dear friend of hers.

"By the way," Jennie started. "Why don't you tell Chan about everything?"

"I don't know," the fragile girl muttered. "I'm scared he'll be depressed. Like, he suddenly finds out that the girl he loves has been bullying a girl for many years? I wouldn't want that to happen to anyone, as much as it hurts me."

"Wow,"

"What?" Jungha asked, tilting her head.

"Your parents raised you right." Jennie laughed.
