IX

The three girls explained everything to the principal, suspending them for three weeks since they were scared that Guanlin might spill their part-time job and Wonyoung was relieved.

Currently, the young girl was consoling Yujin to stop her from crying.

She was upset that she couldn't even speak for herself.

Upset that she can't even defend herself.

"Yah! Everything's fine now. I'm here."

She said to reassure the crying girl who was wiping her seemingly endless waterfall of tears.

Wonyoung patted her back constantly and offered Yujin her handkerchief, but it still wasn't enough for Yujin to stop.

It was unusual for her to cry in this situation, even she was surprised.

It was unusual for her to be silent in such a situation, once again she was surprised.

All of it was so unusual for her that she can't help but cry. She was silenced because of the principal saying her name and it upset her so much.

Just, why did she have to appear in my life?

"Yujin, how about we have a talk?"

The said girl lessened down her whimpers and sobs, wiping her tears as she looks up to see the owner of the voice, Guanlin.

"Uh? Ah... sure." She stumbled on her words, smiling after and Guanlin mirrored the action.

They started going out of the room, leaving Wonyoung behind.

Just from words like that from him, you already compose yourself.

With a heavy heart, she chuckled. No one was in the room since the principal was out with the three girls.

But with me, even if I tell you how much I love you, you wouldn't even care at all.

She let the tears fall.

I'll still love you, even if it hurts.

The two were walking down the hallway but no one dared to utter a word.

Their feet brought them to a deserted area, which is a space in the second floor that only has metal railings, letting it expose the whole school's campus.

No one still said anything, just enjoying the view as raindrops slowly poured and turned into a heavy rainfall.

"Wonyoung really likes you."

Guanlin broke the silence and Yujin looked up at him.

"What do you mean?" Yujin was confused. Didn't he like Wonyoung? She thought.

"Seems like she haven't told you yet."

Now Yujin was even more confused.

What does he mean by haven't told her yet?

Don't tell me...

"She's my cousin."

The girl's thoughts were gone as she heard the statement, letting out a huff of relief.

"What? Did you seriously think that we were dating?" Guanlin laughed and Yujin couldn't help but smile.

She still likes him, after all.

"What about class?" Yujin asked.

"Eh. Wouldn't hurt to skip."

The two were having a good conversation, occassionally sharing laughs as they tell each other stories.

Unknown to them, Wonyoung was secretly behind them, hiding in the corridor's wall connecting to the balcony.

She has recently stopped crying but now, she is crying yet again.

Wonyoung clenched her fist as it grabbed her blouse on her chest part, where her heart is.

If you're happy with him, then I don't have the right to steal you away from him right?

After all, I'm just a nuisance to you. A nobody.

But why does it still hurt?
