THE UNLIKELY ROMANCE [✓]

She walked into the classroom after the noon class ended.

"Where were you? The teacher was asking for you." Jin Sung Hyo enquired.

Ae Chan and Yeon Joo raised their heads from the notebooks.

"I just went to the rest room." Lee Seul Rin replied curtly.

"What happened? You seem so irritated!" Ae Chan asked.

"Don't tell us SeokJin oppa hurt you." Yeon Joo piped up.

"Don't speak nonsense Yeon-ah! It's nothing! We just got on each other's nerves." Seul Rin scoffed off the matter.

"Give me some of those berries!" She continued, smiling now.

Before she could have some, a voice interrupted them.

"Seul Rin! We would like to talk to you."

All four of them looked with distaste, at the direction from were the voice came.

"Yes Namjoon, what sweet, drooling words have you got to tell me?" Hatred filled her voice as she replied.

"There's no need to tease SeokJin Hyung like that!" He sternly replied.

"What is it you want to talk?" She questioned back.

"Come with us!" Jeon Jungkook replied.

"Jungkook, you think I would?" Seul Rin asked, tilting her head.

"Seul Rin please! For me!" Jungkook begged.

Seul Rin stood silent, staring at the empty desk behind her.

"Fine! I will!" She said.

"SeokJin Hyung does not bully around kids, as you see, Rin. If so, they would have been complaining." Namjoon explained patiently.

"Jesus! Namjoon, what if it was because you threatened them? What did those innocent boys do?" Seul Rin was irritated.

"He was just teaching those bastards a lesson." Namjoon frowned, as he recalled the incident.

"Oh wow! What is he? A law enforcer? Or a teacher?" Seul Rin scorned.

"Rin! Stop it! You have been ridiculing him for a long time now." Taehyung was fierce.

"Look at my lovely cousin supporting his sworn brother. Kim Taehyung, look after your choices. I won't be there for you, if so." Seul Rin replied, frowning.

"I would have him helping me." Taehyung nonchalantly replied.

"Mark your words!" Seul Rin's words were bitter.

She left them, at the corridor, leaving for her classes and friends.

"There's no use speaking to her. She is stubborn, when she decides." Taehyung apologetically looked at his five friends.

"She doesn't hate him."

Yoongi's remark bought all their attention to him.

"Yes, Yoongi is right! After all she helped us get out from being suspended." Hoseok agreed.

"What? When did that happen?" Jungkook was surprised.

"So she was the one, Mrs. Kim mentioned." Namjoon piped up.

Seeing Jimin's, Taehyung's and Jungkook's confused expression, Namjoon explained.

"After we were called at the principal's office, we were supposed to be suspended. Jin Hyung was supposed to be dismissed. But we all were left off the hook, with just a warning. On our way back, I overheard Mrs. Kim talking to the principal. They were saying about a girl, who had requested, not to expel us just because of this incident she mentioned. It was only to be taken to attention."

The three nodded, understanding the meaning.

"So who could it be, if not for her? Her words are the only ones, the teachers hear." Yoongi continued thoughtfully.

The six silently stood, thinking to themselves, Hyung wasn't wrong in judging her.
