The Drama Club - A Oneus Fanfiction

Act 8

A month have passed, exam week is drawing near and Eri couldn't get anything in her head. She wanted to skip club this evening to study but those dear marks. She glanced at Jun who was on her left, playing with her phone.

She glanced back at the open book infront of her. She sighed and closed it. Last month has been pretty stressful, not only Yoora been causing "accidents" upon her and being a nuisance but also stressing herself out with studies.

"Hey, you've been looking at the same book for over an hour now. Take a break" Jun took her eyes of her phone, looking at Eri worriedly.

"I know.. But I couldn't get this thing to enter my brain like what?" Eri expressed her annoyance with tapping the book.

Eri then rubbed her temples and smiled "Yea, I'm going to stop for now".

Jun showed a thumbs up, approved that Eri's not over working her brain.

...

The bell rang and it was time for the club meeting. They both bid farewell and it looks like Keonhee didn't come. Eri opened her phone and saw a message from Keonhee.

"Sorry, can't go together.. You go first, I have an affair" It was sent a few minutes ago.

Eri wanted to go with Renjun but he politely declined, he promised to go with Chenle and Jaemin only for some odd reason but she's okay with it.

No other choices, she went alone. She entered the hall and it was empty. Good, a peaceful time to read some book.

Peaceful? Eri was about to flip another page until her book got snatched. Not in Yoora's dictionary.

"What the- Give it back, Yoora!" Eri shouted.

"Geez, no need to shout. I'm perfectly right here, Erim" Yoora scanned the book she's holding. Eri wasn't going to tolerate with Yoora's behaviour.

She stepped on Yoora's feet and as Yoora winced at the pain "Fine! Have your stupid book back!" she threw the book at Eri, harshly.

The book was a thick revision book and when it hit Eri, she staggered. Yoora grabbed her by the collar of her uniform "you want war?".

"I don't need your petty war. I have exams to think about. Now, let go" Eri blurted out, Yoora let go of Eri and she managed to slap Eri at the cheeks.

"Being all tough now aren't you.." Yoora pushed Eri, causing her to fall. The slap just took the whole thing.

Eri couldn't take it anymore, she grabbed her bag and dashed out of the hall. When she got out, she saw Xion, Keonhee and some other members of the club looking at her.

Her face has tears streaming down, a mess. Her vision was blurry due to it so she couldn't quite see the expression they were making.

"Eri" She didn't catch who called her and ran towards her main goal. Out of school.

She felt someone grabbed her arm. Her eyes closed with more tears coming out, embarrassed.

"Eri.." She opened her eyes to see Xion with Keonhee. Xion firmly gripped her hand.

"P-please.. Let go.. I- I don't want to" She hiccuped between her sobs, desperate to get out of there. Both of the boys heartbroken by the scene.

Xion eventually let go. "T-thank you..." Eri quickly bowed and ran off.

They watched as her figure slowly disappeared from their sight. "What was that? What the eff just happened?!" Xion asked, demanding.

"Don't question me, Ju.. As much as we want to get the answers out of her.. Best if we leave her some time alone. Let's head back, we have a club to attend" Keonhee said through gritted teeth.

Both of them head back. They wanted to help but with the scenario right now. Not the best time.

As they entered the hall, they put on a mask that shows nothing have happened.

"Let's start the meeting.." Xion smiled with a twitch.

...

Eri ran back home but with a few scratches on her knee and a hand printed cheek.

"You're home, sweetie? I thought you have club" She heard her mom said from the kitchen.

"Club cancelled.. I want to head back to my room to study" Eri lied and went upstairs. Entering her bedroom, she locked the door.

She unbuttoned her blazer and threw it across the room. She slid down on the floor and weeped. Pulling her hair in frustration and she had to admit, this was immature? She questioned at her choice of words.

After around 30 minutes, she laid down on the floor. Time flies so fast when you cry, she wanted to cry more but there was no more tears left.

She stared at the ceiling and recalled the incidents with Yoora. This whole month was nothing but Yoora being a big bish. There was a time where she "accidentally" threw juice at her and once got her books wet.

When the memories of today popped up in her mind, her tears suddenly reappeared especially the moment with the slap on her cheek. All this time, She silenced herself everytime Yoora did those to her but.... this time it was different.

It was like a bomb. She can't take it anymore, she talked back and even stepped on Yoora's feet like who would even thought she could do it. Not herself of course.

But just now, she proved herself wrong. She smiled a bit, proud that she finally having the courage to stand up for herself but that was only the beginning.

"Enough of Yoora, wonder what's happening with the club.." She sighed and thought maybe the club was just having fun.

Suddenly, someone knocked on her door. She got up and unlocked it, it was her parents.

"Yes?" she asked.

"Honey... Are you okay?" Her father spoked in a gentle manner. Worries plastered on both of their faces.

She panicked at first but thought, she had enough of being a coward. She invited them to the living room and told them the whole story.

They were furious and wanted to meet Yoora but Eri stopped them. She doesn't want to put more burden on them, the main reason she rarely tell people about her problems.

She wants to take this matter on her own. Her parents were not too fond of the idea but since she keeps insisted it, they actually give in.

"If you say so, Just tell us if you have anything else but only if you're comfortable in telling it okay? Dont wanna force you" Her mother smiled while her father agreed to what she said.

Eri was touched, she thanked her parents and hugged them "I love you two so much".
