Girl Who Cried Wolf

Skeptical

"When do you think you'll be able to go to school? You're missing a lot" Umji asked as she brought Yuju a cup of water.

"I'm not sure. My bones are feeling a lot better. I think I can almost walk, wanna see?" Yuju grabbed onto Umji's shoulder to use her for support.

Yuju stood up and took about two steps before she went stumbling into Umji's arms. She grabbed onto both of Umji's hands as quick as possible.

"Wow be careful" Umji looked at her in shock. It happened so fast.

"I'm sorry" Yuju blushed. She carefully sat back down on the bed. "I think it's just my legs that need a bit more healing" Yuju frowned at her legs as she rubbed them.

"Don't worry, I think you'll be okay soon" Umji sat down next to her.

"You really think so? When he broke my bones, I didn't worry about it because I thought it was going to heal faster. I didn't think I was going to miss school. Now my mother is even more angry with me" Yuju covered her face with her hands and cried a little.

"Well why wouldn't you worry?" Umji asked as she patted Yuju's back.

"I don't know I just thought that maybe even if I was gone you guys still wouldn't need me. So I thought there was really nothing wrong with me getting hurt because it distracted him from hurting you guys. I didn't think it would affect me this much because now my mother is disappointed in me" Yuju admitted. It was rare that she expressed emotions or her thoughts, that's why Umji took it so seriously.

"Yuju we all need you, especially me"

"Why you? Even Yerin doesn't want me anymore"

"Yuju without you I wouldn't have been able save Eunbi. You distracted the alpha so others wouldn't get hurt, you put your life on the line and risked it all for us, you're the hero here. We do need you" Umji reassured her. She noticed that everyone had been different since that night. She didn't know what is it or why they had changed, but she wanted to know. What happened didn't seem to affect her so much.

"And your mother has no right to be disappointed in you. You did what you had to do, she knows nothing about that. She needs to give you time to heal, so don't listen to what she says"

"Thanks" Yuju smiled at her. But her words didn't really change how Yuju felt.

The sun was beating down on the hard wood floors so Eunha expected the floor to be a bit warmer but it made her bare feet cold. She didn't like the cold so she ran down the stairs as fast as she could. By the time she reached the last step she was already panting.

"Hey" Eunha jumped back and screamed at the top of her lungs as she fell back onto the first step on the stairs.

"I didn't mean to scare you" he helped her up off the stairs.

"Why are you here?" Eunha took a step back from the man that tried to drug her yesterday.

"Didn't you hear? I'm staying with you guys for two weeks" he smirked.

"Ok but why?" Eunha glared at him as she tried to get pass him to get to the kitchen but he kept getting in her way.

"I needed somewhere to stay because all the students training to be a doctor are going to be doing our first operations at the hospital within the next couple of weeks" he explained with a creepy smile.

"Ok I don't care. Can you like get out of my way? I'm trying to get to the kitchen" Eunha crossed her arms over her chest and gave him a mean look.

"We should go out again sometime"

"Seriously move before I make you move"

"Aw what are you gonna do? Call your little friend from last night?" He teased.

"She's my girlfriend and she's not little, she's taller than you. Yeah her body is like a twig but she is not little" Eunha finally pushed him out of the way and went to the kitchen for food.

"I thought your mother doesn't accept gays" he followed her into the kitchen.

"She doesn't accept them, but she doesn't know I'm still seeing her" Eunha didn't know why she was telling him this. She didn't think he was going to tell anyone.

"So she did catch you guys one time?" Eunha didn't understand why he seemed so curious.

"Yeah she has many times. She hasn't found out yet this time" Eunha whispered and made sure her mother wasn't in sight.

"Well if we date then there's no need to hide it, I'm sure that would relive you" that smirk that she hated appeared again.

"I only like Sowon"

"Oh so her name is Sowon? Interesting" he nodded with a smile.

"What are you trying to do?" She asked. Now she would try to refrain from telling him information about her and Sowon.

"Nothing. I just want to get to know you more. So if your mother found out what will she do?"

"Kill me and beat Sowon's ass" Eunha rolled her eyes but also laughed a little.

"Don't you think you're maybe over exaggerating a little?" He raised his eyebrows.

"She literally made me transfer schools after she found out last time"

"That's a bit harsh. But the reason for this can't just be because she is homophobic, do you think maybe it's something wrong with Sowon?"

"What are you trying to say?" Eunha turned around, angry again.

"Have you guys ever had sex? And if so does you mom know?"

"You're a pervert, but yes my mom knows we have"

"Ok and how long have you known each other?" He wasn't trying to get involved in Eunha's personal business but he had to find out the reason to why Mrs. Jung hated Sowon so much.

"Almost four years"

"How long was it until your first time having sex with her?" That seemed way too personal.

"I think it was four months?" Eunha said with an uncertain voice.

"And how old are you now?"

"Seventeen" Eunha shortly replied.

"So then your mother is only mad at her because you guys had sex at such a young age. You were between the ages of 14 and 15, that is way too young to be doing that kind of stuff" he had finally solved it and felt proud for it. But maybe that wasn't the truth.

"Do you really think so?" Eunha leaned closer to him and whispered.

"Yeah. 14 and 15 is way too young"

"Yeah but she was 16 so..."

"That doesn't matter. You were most likely only 15" he looked at Eunha like she was stupid.

"Is that bad?" Eunha said with a wary voice.

"Yeah. It might lead to sex addiction. Do you know if she has that?"

"Ok now you're just messing with me" Eunha slapped his arm.

"Ok but I was being serious about why your mother might be mad. The whole sex addiction thing is a joke though" he laughed and followed Eunha into the living room.

"So you really love her, eh?"

"I do, why?"

"That's too bad..." he mumbled.
