Chapter 3

"Choi Haein talking bad about her friend behind her back?", I read the text.

My eyes went on the publisher name and I regretted it.

Publisher: Koo Jungmo

"Wonjin I-"

"I know you didn't do it", he responded blankly.

"Why is Jungmo even doing this?", I asked myself a loud.

"It's either misunderstanding or something serious"

"Anyways, all we know it's Jungmo's doing, so I will ask him something", Wonjin replied and left the rooftop, leaving me alone.

I sat on the bench near me and started thinking the reason why Jungmo released that article.

Nothing came in my mind and I felt like wanting to cry.

The bell rang and I didn't even mind to walk to the class with those all eyes watching me.

I just cried until nothing came. I looked at the sky, feeling like it could help me.

I saw a blue butterfly flying near me. I stared at it for a while but then I realized that it has been on that same place since I started staring it.

The butterfly felt like it was a person who could listen to my concerns.

I don't know if I was just insane that time but I swear I saw a boy's face I when I looked at the butterfly.

I'm going crazy (roll action)

Just when I was about to leave, I saw Jinwoo enter, I immediately stopped my tracks.

"Jinwoo", my quiet voice was heard.

"Haein!", Jinwoo ran towards and hugged me tight as if he hadn't seen me for years.

"I'm sorry for ignoring you, but I was told to stay away from you", he explained.

"Who told you?", I asked curiously.

"Erin", that's when I knew Jungmo and Erin were planning on something.

"Don't listen to her", I commanded.

"I have to or they will do something to my dad"

"What?! Now that's something I want to talk about to them", I said, ready to beat those two.

"Haein please don't, we can meet privately", he suggested but as if I care.

"But they told you-", before i could continue...

"Haein, please, just for a while", he begged.

"Okay but if those two threat you more, I swear I will not hesitate to beat their ass", I said, earning a chuckle from Jinwoo.

"Yes ma'am", he replied earning a soft hit on his back.

"You probably have to go now, class is starting soon", I reminded him.

"What about you? Aren't you coming?", he asked before opening the door.

"I don't feel like going but you must so go now", I replied, pushing him to go now.

"Okay I'll go now but let me tell you something", I stopped pushing him and looked at him confused.

"What?"

"I love you", he said and ran away. Part of me wanted to chase me but part of me told me to stay. So I chased him until the stairs ended.

I watched him run towards his class and I thought, he has to experience this kind of drama because of me.

If I hadn't befriended him, would he be happier now?

I shook my head, throwing that thought away and walked to cafeteria. It was better to go there while it isn't full of staring students.

I thought I would have peace there but I didn't expect that hoe couple was there.

I looked at Erin for a second and looked away but I knew she said something to Jungmo because he was looking now at me.

I tried to ignore them and went to take the food since I was hungry.

I sat on somewhere far away from them because I didn't want more drama.

I ate in silence and soon Wonjin's class was coming to cafeteria. I looked at Wonjin and he gave a little smile. Soon he came and sat beside.

"Was it hard for you?", he asked.

"What was hard?", I asked back.

"The stares from your own classmates- wait a minute, let me guess, you didn't even come to class", I looked at him, nodding slowly.

"So it was that hard", i heard him say under his breath.

"I couldn't just come to class, the whole school literally hates me for talking bad about the popular girl everyone likes", I explained.

"But you don't deserve it, you did nothing yet you get hate"

"It's okay Wonjin, we'll find a way to get out from this ugly mess", I tried to brighten the mood.

"Okay but you're coming to next class though", he said, stuffing his food in his mouth.

"Not promising anything though", i replied.

And so that's how the lunch break went with Wonjin and I talking about our childhood memories.

When the bell rang, I lazily walked towards the classroom but stopped when i got a message.

Come to physic's class if you wanna solve this mess...

This must been Jungmo's or Erin's doings. So without thinking, I just ran to physic's class.

I opened door, hoping that we could solve this drama but what I saw didn't meet my expectations.

They were smoking there and the whole classroom smelled.

"What's happening here?", I asked them, trying block the smell for coming in to my nose.

"Nothing, just chilling, you wanna try?", Jungm(h)o(e) offered. Bitch as if I would.

"No, no thank you", I declined the offer.

"Really? What a pity because the punishment you're gonna have could've been bigger"

"Wait what?", I asked but then I noticed something on the floor. Jungmo dropped his smoke and ran away with Erin.

I tried run after them but they were faster and I noticed behind that fire had started.

I tried to open the windows, while blocking my nose but it was no use, that bitch couple had planned this.

I panicked and tried to bang the door if someone could hear me but all i heard was the bell ringing.

Soon, it was too hard to breath that I blacked and out while seeing the fire getting near to me.

I swear I love Jungmo🥺🥺
