Chapter 5

TRIGGER WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS ASSAULT AS A TOPIC.

KIM YONGSUN

"Oh my..." Hyejin remarked. "That's a first."

"What is?" Yooah asked who was sitting beside Hyejin.

Hyejin pointed at Byul using her mouth. "She never left us during lunch. Even if she wasn't eating, she made sure to wait for us anyway." She answered.

Yooah winced at the revelation. It seemed like she now understands the effect of her behavior on Byul. But nevertheless, she started eating and chatting with Wheein and Hyejin. Being kids themselves, they accommodated to Yooah's presence.

Yong Sun started picking on her food. Her appetite suddenly dropped when Byul walked away. She knew for a fact that when Byul was eating, she didn't like doing it alone. That's why she never cooked or ate at home. Always at a restaurant where a lot of people come by even if she was sitting alone at a table.

She got up and grabbed her tray and was ready to walk away when Wheein held her wrist causing her to turn around and look at her.

"Unnie, where are you going?" she asked.

"I forgot, I had to meet up with our vocal instructor. He said he would be giving us the MR of our song during lunch time." It wasn't a lie, but it also gave her an excuse to look for Byul.

Yooah eyed her curiously and this made Yong Sun realize why Byul was uncomfortable with her. The girl had no respect for boundaries so she stared back at her blankly. She saw the girl's cheeks turn pink in embarrassment and dropped her gaze at Yong Sun. That's what I thought. She whispered to herself.

"Okay, unnie. And oh, give this to Byulie unnie if you ever stumble upon her." She gave Yong Sun a bracelet. "I think that came off of her wrist when she was getting food. I forgot to give it back to her when we sat down earlier."

Yong Sun nodded and took the accessory. She then walked towards the window where they place dirty plates and walked out of the cafeteria without throwing another look at the table she left.

After she went to the vocal instructor's office, she set out to look for Byul. Byulie-yah. Where could you be? She thought. She knows that Byul said to not look for her but Byul forgot that Yong Sun was a pain in the ass.

Luckily, she found the girl immediately in one of the Supply Rooms that is hidden at the end of a corridor after looking at several other rooms. The girl was sitting on a plastic chair with her compartment tray now devoid of food was perched up on her knees. Her back was at Yong Sun while she was leaning on her side at the wall. She was humming a soft tune that was unrecognizable to the older girl.

Now that Yong Sun saw Byul, she had second thoughts on disturbing the girl. The mood just seemed too peaceful to barge in and Byul's soft humming added to the already serene atmosphere.
