Because it's you | BOOK 1

Part 28

"Beaten."

*

Wait... Isn't she the-

I looked back and was expecting Young Master behind me but he wasn't there already. He probably left after we came.

I entered the room and quietly sat on my chair. I looked at Mingyu but he just rolled his eyes and looked away. What's his problem?

"Oh, Senior?" It's Soyeon. I awkwardly smiled at her as she held both of my hands with a big smile on her lips.

"I never thought my so-called Senior is actually my classmate! Hi, I'm Soyeon!" She cheerfully said and I just smiled and introduced myself shortly. "I-I'm Hana..."

Soyeon sat on the free chair in front of Mingyu and she smiled at Mingyu and introduced herself, but Mingyu just nodded without saying anything.

*

And lunchtime came and I decided to follow up to Mingyu before he could even walk away, I grabbed onto his arm and he looked at me irritated.

"Hey, are you mad?"

"No."

"Yes, you are."

"No, I'm not."

"Then why are you glaring at me?"

He didn't replied and just looked away. I tried to pull him back but he is strong, he won't even look at me.

"Hey, look at me. Let's talk about this..." I said and Mingyu finally looked at me.

"We can talk later. Your FRIEND is waiting for you outside." Mingyu said and I looked outside seeing Young Master Han. Mingyu left after and Taeyeon looked at me worriedly but smiled afterwards.

"Don't worry, we'll fetch him. You should go now, Young Master's waiting!" Taeyeon said and I slightly smiled before nodding and walking up to Young Master.

"D-did you waited long..?" I asked and he shook his head. "Just came here. Let's go."

We headed towards the Cafeteria together and eyes had been really watching us from the hallways all the way to the Cafeteria. I've been really uncomfortable.

"Have a seat, I'll get ours." Young Master said and left. I just sat down and waited until he came. He then arrived after a few waitings and we started eating together, without anyone opening something to talk about.

"Hi, seniors! Can I join you?" It's Soyeon. She then sat down beside Young Master but he scooted away from Soyeon and continued eating. Soyeon smiled awkwardly and then looked at me.

"Senior, I never expected I'd be seeing you here, and I even joined your tables. Now I can longly think of anything to how can I repay you back."

"I-it's alright. We glad we helped you, we won't accept pay backs." I said and she wavered her hands and chuckled. "No, no. You can't decline. I need to pay back-"

Soyeon got interrupted when Young Master loudly dropped his spoon and fork that caused too much attention. He then looked at Soyeon and huffed.

"We said we don't need paybacks anymore. Are you really that stubborn?" Young Master said and Soyeon is still surprised from what situation just in.

"I'm done." Young Master said and stood up, walking his way out of the Cafeteria with eyes watching him. Soyeon then looked down and I hesitated to coo her.

"S-sorry, Soyeon... H-he must've been not in his best mood today.." I said but Soyeon just frowned and looked down in embarassment.

"It's alright. I got used to it, he's not the only guy who did that." Soyeon said and I sighed.

Our Class President announced that there will be a faculty meeting that's why most of the students are not inside their rooms. I kept following Mingyu around but he's being too pouty.

"Come on, Mingyu. I've been chasing you for almost half an hour already. Can't we just talk?" I said but Mingyu just shrugged and walked away again. I sighed and just gave up, what's with his attitude anyway?

I went to the opposite way and just decided to go back to the room. I sat down and sighed heavily that took Soyeon's attention.

"Senior, what's with the sigh?" She asked and I shook my head with a smile. "Nothing..."

"HANA! HANA!"

"Hangyeol?"

"M-Mingyu!"

"What's with Mingyu?"

"He got into a fight!"

"What?! Why?! W-where?!"

"Come on!" Hangyeol pulled me and we both rushed into the back part of the Greenfield and saw Mingyu being beaten by a group of guys.

"You're acting tough but you can't even fight back, huh?" The guy said and punched Mingyu on the gut. A small part of his lip is bleeding and his face is bruised already. Some students are just spectating and is not even doing anything to stop them.

"HEY! STOP!" Probably the loudest voice I ever emitted. The boys stopped as they looked up to who screamed at them, and it's me.

"Oh, ho ho hoe. Who's this?" The guy said. Hangyeol stepped back in fear while I stood in my place, the guy looked at me from head to the feet before looking back at Mingyu. "Your girlfriend..? Huh, what can she even do?"

"I-I'm not his girlfriend but for pete's sake. He's my friend and you can't just hurt him." I said and the guy approached me that made me step back.

"I tell you, he crossed on our territory. It's his own fault then." The guy said and I looked at Mingyu, I guess he's not denying himself.

"B-but it's still not appropriate to hurt him-" I was about to step my way towards Mingyu when the guy held my collar that made Hangyeol gasp.

"What now? You're going to help him? How?"

"Let me go!"

"You're so fragile I can just make you one with the ground by pushing you." The guy said and pushed me, making me fall down the ground.

"Hana!" Hangyeol helped me stand up and the guy came back to Mingyu and lightly slapped his bruised cheek.

"Beat him, NOW." The guy ordered and his friends continued to beat Mingyu.

"NO! STOP!" I tried to run my way towards them and stop them from beating Mingyu but the guy pushed me again.

"Go away! This is our business!" The guy said. Hangyeol pulled me away that made me burst into tears. I must save Mingyu, or else he'll collapse.

"Hangyeol... M-mingyu..!"

"Ssshh... Hana, w-we can't do anything-"

"What's going on here?"
