✔ Your Bias is my Ex!

Chapter 22 - Hide and Seek

"You should be dubbed as space-out queen." I jumped in surprise when namtae appeared in front of me with his face only a few inches against mine.

"You scared me!" I slapped his arms with my left hand while my right hand still clutching my heart

"What's on your mind... again?" He twirled his chair away from mine and rest his face on his hand that is on my desk with his elbow as a support

"Let me guess.. yoo-- suga?" His eyebrows perked up

"No. It's the twins." I slumped on my seat thinking about what happened last night

"Hey! Let me meet those 'lil monsters." He cheekily glared at me

"Really?! Monsters?" I squinted my eyes at him

"The mom is a monster so they are too..." he said like it's the most rational thing to say.

"Ok fine. Cute monsters. Happy?" He gave up when I wouldn't stop giving him the look.

"Better." I nodded in approval.

"What happened anyway?" I sighed and told him what happened when I got home

~~

"I'm home!" I called out even though I know no one would greet back cause my parents are at work and the kids is probably asleep by now as they always did these past few days so I went to my room to change my clothes and check on them after but before I could even change my clothes, the twins barged in and tackled me to bed.

I was gonna tickle them thinking they were playing games with me but I froze when I hear them sob. They both snuggled close to me as they cried and I panicked. They seldom cry like this. I think this is just the second time they cried. First was when I had to explain to them why their dad can't be with us. I sat up bringing them with me.

"Hey hey.. what happened?" I rocked them as they clung to me

"Bully." Sky uttered and I gasped

"Look at me. Who bullied you? What did they do?" I let them go so they can face me. I've always wanted them to act their age but not like this.

"An ahjumma." Woozi wiped away his tears

"What?" I wasn't able to hear what he said.

"She's a meanie." Sky pouted.

"Did she hurt you?" They looked at each other them shook their heads at the same time.

"She made us eat ice cream even if we don't want it." I sighed in relief thinking it was not that serious.

"Bullying is bad, although there's a thin line with bullying the bully... standing up for yourselves and others can never be wrong. You just have to outwit them without needing to result to violence and if they try to hurt you in any way, run if you must okay? Don't fight back if you're able to run away. Got it?" They stared at me for a long time so I thought they didn't get what I mean but then they slowly nodded. I was not able to see the smirk playing on their lips when realization hit them.

"Let's go to bed! Let's sleep here." They cheered and put theirselves on either side of the bed. I quickly changed my clothes and settled myself between them.

"Poor kids. You should sue the bully!" I sighed and looked at namtae.

"You don't know them. I'm not that worried about them... I'm worried about the bully." It's true. Although they didn't cry when they were first bullied in school, they did make the bully cry and that's how other kids don't bully them any more but at the same time they sort of got isolated because of it but then again they don't like being social.
