Y/n's POV

I couldn't get to sleep, so I got up and left my room.

I bought some juice from the lobby's vending machine which was on the 1st floor and headed back for the elevator.

While waiting for it to open, I decided to check out the CCTV, which showed what was happening inside the elevator car.

I saw Tzuyu, still dressed in her school uniform just like me.

Seeing her might be awkward right now, so I hid behind the vending machine.

The elevator made a sound and Tzuyu exited the building. After she'd vanished into the night, I decided to follow after her. She turned right.

I was about to turn too but I saw that she stopped in her tracks, so I instinctively took a step back and leaned on the wall.

"Tzuyu. I didn't think you'd follow me this far."

I heard a familiar deep voice of a guy so I slowly took a peak. However, it was too dark. I couldn't clearly see the face of the person Tzuyu was talking to.

"I'm far different from the useless girl you once knew, brother. I came here to catch you," replied Tzuyu.

Brother? Tzuyu has a brother? Could it be...

"Catch me?" The guy chuckled mockingly. "I heard you were placed in Class D. I suppose nothing has really changed in the last three years. You've always been fixated on following me, and as a result, you don't notice your own flaws. Choosing to come to this school was a mistake, Tzuyu."

"You're wrong about that. I'll reach Class A right away, then—"

"It's pointless. You will never reach Class A. In fact, your class will fall apart soon enough. Things at this school aren't as simple as you think, Tzuyu."

"No. I will definitely, definitely reach—"

"You really are a disobedient little sister.* Tzuyu's brother stepped closer to her.

From my hiding spot, I could see him.

It was the Student Council President, Chou Taehyung.

He displayed no hint of emotion. It was like he was staring at an uninteresting object.

He grabbed Tzuyu by the wrist and pushed her against the wall. *No matter how I try to avoid you, the fact remains that you're my little sister. If people around here learned the truth, I would be humiliated. Leave this school. Immediately."

Tzuyu gulped and shook her head. "I-I can't do that... I will definitely reach Class A. I'll show you!"

"How incredibly stupid. Do you want to relive the pain of the past?*

Tzuyu looked down and bit her lip. Her eyes became watery.

*You possess neither the abilities nor the qualities needed to reach Class A. Get that through your head, Tzuyu."

Resigned to facing Taehyung's anger, I leaped out from my hiding space and grabbed his right arm, which he was using to pin Tzuyu.

Taehyung stared at his arm and slowly turned to me with a sharp gleam in his eye.

Tzuyu raised her head and looked at me in shock. "Y-Y/n?"

I glanced at Tzuyu then brought back my gaze at President Taehyung. "You were about to throw your sister to the ground, weren't you? You do realize the floor here is concrete, right? You might be siblings, but you should know the difference between right and wrong."
