Solitary ♢ Na Jaemin

"Yunhee, I heard your Dad is sponsoring the school again? Will he be holding another school trip?" One of the girls in the class asked, clapping her hands together hopeful.
Yunhee shrugged in reply.
"I don't think so."

"Why not?" Another groaned and chatters broke out about how they wouldn't get a trip this year.
"You're Father is rich though, he's the main reason why this school is still here."
Another said and Yunhee exhaled, dropping her pencil on her desk.
"That's true, he usually pays for everything...I wonder if that's why the boys talk to her?" One muttered not so quietly.
"Because she's rich? But they're all quite wealthy."

"I heard Her father is looking for a business partner-"
"You mean Yunhee is going to get married?"
"That's what I heard."
"My bet is on Donghyuck."
"No! He's mine."
"But wouldn't it make sense if it was Jeno...I mean his parents are big business people too."

"Imagine your daughter being a pawn in your business plan." One giggled and sniggers broke out. Yunhee clenched her jaw and breathed harshly through her nose.
Her nail scratched the side of her finger as she tried to contain her anger.
"One of the cons of having a silver spoon in your mouth-"
The talking was cut off by Yunhee's chair scraping back. She stood up and slammed her hands on her desk, glowering at the students.

The students looked up at her wide eyed, watching how the other boys of N6 glared at the pupils around the room.
Yunhee scoffed, her foot kicking back the chair slightly as she exited the room in anger.
Murmurs broke out, whispering sounded through the room and Donghyuck inhaled deeply, standing up also and slamming his fist on the desk.

"YAH!" he shouted out harshly, eyes dark with anger.
"Don't you have anything better to do?" He scorned, picking up his bag along with Yunhee's. Donghyuck locked eyes with Jaemin who had been watching the whole scene and they both held each others gazed until Donghyuck walked away.

"Yunhee," Donghyuck called out, following the girl who tried to hurriedly walk in the direction of the N6 hangout- yes they had their own hangout in courtesy of Yunhee's Father.
"Yunhee-ah!" He called out once again, trailing behind the girl as fast as he could. "Aish." He sighed out, striding faster and catching her upper arm in his hand.

Yunhee jolted and turned towards Donghyuck with her head down. Donghyuck looked at the girl and inhaled.
"Don't listen to them." He began, holding her bag out towards her.
"They're just jealous."

Yunhee shook her head and gritted back her tears.
"They're right though," she began grabbing her bag from his hand.
"I'm just a pawn." She said sharply, turning around and beggining to walk again.
"I need air." She muttered, leaving Donghyuck in the hallway.

Yunhee's mind replayed what the students were saying in the classroom, her mind was elsewhere when she turned the corner and began walking up the stairs- not paying attention when her foot slipped and her heart jolted.

She gasped as she felt her body going backwards, only to be stopped by something, or rather someone.
Yunhee turned her head slightly, her face directly next to the emotionless boy.
His deep brown eyes cut into hers as his hand supported her back to prevent her from falling as he stood behind her.

Jaemin broke the eye contact and pushed her back up, inhaling with irritation.
"Watch it." He warned, hitting her shoulder with his as he walked up the stairs, his black attire and brown hair excluding him from the liveliness of the school.

"Are you okay?" Jisung asked, running up to the girl and bringing her out of her trance.
"Huh? Oh yeah... I'm fine." She waved off, looking back to the direction Jaemin was in, only to find he had left.
