I hate you, I love you

Myungsoo had his ears to the door trying to listen in. "Why is it so quiet?" he whispered as he pressed harder.

On the other side of the door Hyorin got Howon to help her with her homework. "That's better. You got 4 right" he said.

"Did I pass?"

"It was out of 15" he said slowly. She sulked as he smiled. "Don't worry. No one gets it at first" he assured her. But it didn't seem like it working. "Let's take a break" he said. He sat down at the desk and turned the chair to face her. "Sorry for introducing you as my tutor" she apologized.

"It's okay. But who was that guy?" he asked.

"Myungsoo? He's just someone that lives here. My parents brought him here 10 years ago" she explained.

"So is he adopted?"

"No. He just stays here."

"Oh. So did you guys ever..." he said trailing off and making hand gestures so she got what he was trying to say. "No. We never dated. Ew, I don't even like him like that" she quickly said.

Myungsoo who heard all of that felt hurt. He slowly got up and shuffled his feet back to his room. "Ew? Am I that bad?" he asked himself. Just then, he looked over at his desk and saw the present he had bought for Hyorin for her birthday. He sighed as he opened the box revealing a silver necklace with a heart hanging on it. He closed it as he put it in his draw.

"Bye" she waved to Howon as she closed the door. She looked around the house and sighed before she went back to her room.

They were at school as they entered their classes. Myungsoo sat at the very front while the girls of the class stared at him with lust in their eyes. Myungsoo was basically the most desired guy at that school. Even the seniors liked him, and some of the young female teachers. "Hyorin" Seohyun snapped at her. She blinked a couple of times before coming back. "What?" she asked.

"You were dozing out. Dreaming about someone?" Hyuna asked.

"Yeah right" Hyorin smiled. Just then Krystal walked in and took her seat. "What took you so long?" Hyuna asked her.

"My driver was late" she said quickly as she caught her breath. Hyorin looked at her as her smile deflated.

Myungsoo looked down as his eyes moved to the corner so he can see Hyorin. "Oppa" a girl said to him. He looked at her and smiled. "Mia" he said her name.

"You said to tell you if Hyorin bothered me again" she said shyly.

"Did she do something?"

Mia nodded her head as she held her hands tighter together as if embracing herself for something. "I shouldn't be telling you this. Sorry" she bowed before scurrying to her seat. He turned back to her as she had her eyes on the ground. He then turned back to Hyorin who looked at him before going back to her conversation. He stood up and walked to her. "Can we talk for a second?" he asked.

"I have nothing to say to you" she dismissed him. "I do" he said as he held her wrist and pulled her out the classroom. "What's wrong with you?" she complained.

"Why do you keep bullying Mia?"

She laughed. "What are you? Mia's bodyguard? And anyways I'm don't bully anyone."

"That's not what she said."

"Ever thought that she's lying to you. And don't make assumptions when you haven't heard the full story" she said as she went back in the class. She slid in her seat as she groaned. "What happened?" Seohyun asked.

"Got in trouble with your brother?" Krystal asked.

"Brother? Oh Myungsoo. No, he just accused me of bullying Mia. Can you believe that?" she said. At school Myungsoo and Hyorin were knows at brother and sister. It was easier for them to say rather than explaining the fact that they're not related and just live together. They were silent as they avoided her eyes. "You guys think I bully her too?"

"I wouldn't use bully but you are kind of mean when it comes to her" Hyuna said.

"Please. She gets exactly what she deserves" she said as she folded her arms together. Myungsoo walked back into the classroom and took his seat. Hyorin glared at him and then Mia.
