The hall was loud even though there are only 21 people here. They were beginning to chant Dongju's name. Dongju actually doesn't mind getting picked as president but he was embarrassed that people are chanting his name like some sort of cult.

Eri looked at him covering half of his face and giggled. No doubt, you could see his face was red.

"Okay, calm down. Was it Son Dongju?" Mrs. Rin looked at Dongju, "is there a specific reason you wanted him to become the president?" she asked the students.

One of them voiced out "It's because he has always been in the drama club since middle school!" the others joined and said that's right and gave a bunch of reasons.

"I see.. Well, if that's the case. Then it's settled. Congratulations, Xion. You are now the president of the drama club" Everybody cheered.

Xion stood up "Thank you for picking me as the president, I will do my best in performing my duty as the club president" as he bowed 90 degrees.

"Well, that was an obvious choice" Renjun chuckled softly.

"Yea.." Eri smiled.

"Next, we will be selecting the Vice president of the club" The teacher said and everybody went silent. They were busy thinking, who could be suitable.

"I will be the vice president, Miss" Bae Yoora put her hand up, confidently.

Everybody stopped thinking at looked at her with the word "oh god"

"I love your confidence, sweetie.. Bae Yoora was it? Everybody agree?" The teacher looked around and it was still silent, the student were processing on what just happened.

"Silence means yes too so that means.. Congratulations, Bae Yoora! You will be the club vice-president!" Mrs. Rin clapped for her and soon the students joined too but they were still processing the event.

Eri clapped along and looked at Xion clapping but his face looked emotionless. Was he happy or sad or angry? Eri couldn't point it out.

"What're you looking at? Is it Xion?" Renjun teased her, he kinda observed on where was Eri looking at.

"W-what, no.. Me? No, I was daydreaming and thinking how did Bae Yoora got it" She replied too quickly.

"Whatever you say, me too honestly.. Wondering how did it even come up to this like what? " He sighed and smirked.

Chenle who sat beside Renjun, shrugged "beats me".

"Now, let's choose the other committee members" The teacher chirped and the students agreed.

...

After all the committee members are chosen, the meeting has come to an end.

Eri was waiting for Keonhee outside the hall and suddenly Bae Yoora showed up.

"Hey! Seung Erim wasn't it? Are you happy that I got the vice-president position?" Bae Yoora laughed, she was boastful.

Eri moved a bit and awkwardly replied "Yea.. Congrats Yoora".

Yoora stopped laughing and instead, she grabbed Eri's arm harshly. Her grip was strong and her long pointy nails were digging into her wrist a bit.

"Look here, girl. Dont make your life miserable. You think I didn't see you did an eye contact with Xion so back off!" Yoora expressed her anger.

"What the actual- is wrong with her?" Eri thought and was starting to tear up because how hurt her wrist was.

"I-" Eri wanted to fight back but she doesn't have the courage to do so, Yoora laughed.

"Shh, as long as you stay away from him.. You'll be fine. Also, don't tell anyone about this!" She released Eri's hand and turned her heels, walking off.

Eri stood there with her head down and looked at her marked wrist. "It hasn't even been a day since I entered this club, and now im being threatened?" She thought, a tear slipped down.

Looks like she had to face Yoora no matter what. She wiped her tears and heard Keonhee calling for her, she smiled. Thank god, there was Keonhee.

"Eri! Let's walk home together but with another person!" Keonhee exclaimed while beside him stood Xion waving at her.

She instantly frowned "Oh, it's Xion?" the other two looked at each other.

"Yea, why?" Keonhee asked, concerned.

Eri thought about what Yoora said "I- I just.. Nevermind" as much as she wanted to tell Keonhee about what Yoora said, she can't bring it up. "coward" she whispered to herself.

"Okay, then.. Let's go" Keonhee awkwardly tried to lift up the mood.

...

It was no surprise that the whole walk was awkward as hell. Keonhee was practically panicking on the inside, thinking about what to do to for this awkward atmosphere.

Eri bid farewell to the both of them and entered her home.

"Sorry, she never acted like that on a walk before" Keonhee sighed.

"No, its okay. My fault for suddenly intruding" Xion shook his head.

"What? no.. Also, dont you always go back with Dongmyeong?" Keonhee asked.

"Ah, he went home first. He said he had a stomach ache that was pretty bad? I don't know how to explain it but you got the point" Xion answered while keonhee nodded.

"One question, Keonhee.. Did something actually happened to Eri cause you said it yourself, she never acted like this on walk" Xion crossed his arms, he was concerned. Maybe it was his fault after all, he thought.

"I don't know, Xion.. I will ask her tomorrow and brought this up to Jun" Keonhee sighed.

They continued walking and soon, both bid farewell.

...

Eri angrily screamed into her pillow "What is wrong with me?!" Then, she started to feel guilty of how she treated Xion during the walk.

Most of the walk, she answered him with a hmm. She can't forget the worries plastered on their faces especially Keonhee's.

"I can't believe I frowned with the sight of Xion, oh god.. The guilt!" She ran her fingers through her long hair. She acted as her heart was stabbed and rolled down of the bed in her room.

"Talk about being dramatic, Eri" She said to herself, laying on the carpet.

She stood up and looked at her mirror, "you look like a mess and a coward" she cried when her reflection said it.

"W-what if Xion thought it was his fault for making me feel this way?!" She gasped and the guilt is now stronger than ever.

As much as she wanted to change her cowardness and self guilting. She just laid down on her bed and cried, hoping for a better tomorrow.

One day, hopefully she will.
