✔️Living With Them

/Forty Five/

Your PoV

Now is another set of days. I woke up and walked to the bathroom as I endured the pain I'm feeling in my right arm.

"Fuck those students. If I can just kick their asses too!" I hissed as I removed the bandages.

I took a shower quickly and after that, I walked out of the bathroom.

I get my uniform and wear it to me.

"Even I told to Irene that I don't want to go to school, I still need to. That's the only way so I could get the robots after." I said to myself.

I comb and also put the bandages on.

I walked out of my room as the guards blocked me.

"What?" I irritatedly asked looking up to the two of them.

"Ms. Kang, you can't go."

"What?! I'm going to school! Get out of my way!"

"But Ms-"

"It's ok, Y/N get down here." I heard Irene said downstairs.

I just rolled my eyes as I passed to the guards who blocked me.

"Seulgi told me that you called her," Irene said as I got in the dining room.

"As expected," I mumbled

"She told me that you were looking for the robots. They are good now. Just Jihyo, Mina, and Tzuyu are still loo- I mean under test run." Irene said that made me look at her.

"Really? When I could get them?!" I asked

"Probably next week?"

"Next week?! That's too- ugh! Fine." I hissed as I stopped myself from burning out.

"About the bullies, I already made my actions to them," Irene said

"You don't need to, I can manage myself," I said

I heard a drop of spoon and fork that made me stop my meal and glance at her.

"Manage yourself? You almost cover your face with band-aids. Your arm is not fine. Is that how you manage yourself?"

"Can you just stop pitying me? When I said I'm fine I mean I'm completely fine!" I said as I dropped my utensils

"Let's say you're fine, but Y/N if you cannot take care of yourself what more the person or things around you?! You're making me doubt if I could let the robots be with you again!"

I was taken back as I heard what Irene said. I just look down as I clenched my fist in anger.

"I didn't do that just for you Y/N. I kick those bullies out so they won't repeat the same mistake to others. I'm not just concerned about you but also with the others. I take care of you coz I see myself in you and consider you like me. Like I said if You couldn't take care of yourself what more to the others? Keep that in your mind Y/N. The world doesn't just revolve around you." She said as she stood up.

"I'll drop you at the school. Go to the car as you finish your food." Irene said and walked out.

I just laughed bitterly as I recall what she said.

Not revolving around me?
Oh yeah, since first I'm not a priority. I always get left behind-, I always get left alone.

No one revolves around me, Irene...

No one will stay with me. Even Irene. As she's done with her mission with me. She'll definitely leave me.

The only thing I have was the robots. They were programmed to stay beside me and protect me. They were programmed but it's ok.... at least they stay. Unlike those humans who'll leave me after they got nothing or all I have.

Third Person

Y/N decided to walk out and get in the car without any signals.

Irene on the other hand just turned her gaze to the younger one who's sitting in the back seat.

Suddenly her phone rings.

"Hello?" Irene said as she answered the call

["This is Seulgi. Tzuyu had free time 30-minutes from now. I already appointed it."]

"Ok, sure."

"Can we just go now so you can go back to your business?" Y/N said with a trace of irritation in her voice.

Irene just ignore it and started the car.

["It's Y/N?"]

"Yeah, send me where I could meet her. Bye." Irene said and ended the call.

Irene started the car and drive Y/N to the school.

After 10 minutes they arrived at the place. Y/N jumped out of the car without saying 'bye' to the older but the Irene just tried to understand it. After all, they had a tough talk in the morning.

As Irene was sure that Y/N is already inside the school, she started her car again and opened her phone as she received the place where she's talking to Tzuyu.

Along the way, she suddenly remembered something.

"Geez, I forgot about Chaeyoung? How can I make her agree with this?" Irene asked herself.

Irene's PoV

I'm now getting in the café near to our building for a talk that Seulgi appointed with Tzuyu.

I got in, I saw a girl facing back but I know who is she based on her figure.

"Nice meeting you again, Tzuyu," I said as I got near to her and faced her.

She smiled back and stood up as she offered a handshake.

"Nice meeting you Bae. Again."

"Too formal, how ar-"

"I won't waste any time here Irene. I know you need me. I need you also just to inform you." She said to me

I frowned but didn't leave my smile.

"What is it?" I asked

"I actually don't care what I can help you but I'll gladly accept it. in a condition of our company and yours to collab." She said that made my smile fade

"I heard from Seulgi that you're now the all-over head of the Kang's corp. I won't lie to you... I need your company to revive mines. So are you up with this?"
