❝So this was all revenge, since the beginning?❞

Falling in love with someone who was out of your league was stupid. Purposing him in front of the entire school and getting rejected was stupider. Asking him to give a chance after all this drama w...

I sighed and threw my bag to the floor before flopping on my not-so-clean bed. I lift my hand to my head but instead of massaging my scalp I started to pull at my hair.
Bae Yejin, what have you done!?
What ghost possessed you and made you take this big step?
A fangirl ghost? One who can do it while she's alive then grow old and die-
Wait. That made no sense.
I sighed for what seemed like the thousandth time today, my eyes tearing up as I remembered his harsh words.
Flashback
He was sitting with his other friends, at his usual table. The cafeteria was noisy and full of people eating and gossiping. All the other girls were occupying tables that gave them a good view of him, which meant that as usual they were squealing and talking about him.
That day Yoora, my best friend, was away at her grandma's. She returned the next day, which was beneficial for me.
I glance down at my pastel pink paper, my love letter.
I'd stayed up all night pouring my emotions into this letter. Well, I had fallen asleep partway and dribbled on the paper, but I'd covered that part in crayon, so no need to worry.
I was nervous, my palms were sweating as I made my way towards his table. Nobody ever goes to his table. It's not that they're scared, it's just this kind of unwritten rule.
"Sunbae-nim." I called out. Behind me the cafeteria goes silent. It crossesd my mind that if I run now I could get the first flight to Antarctica and never come back. But who was I kidding? If I couldn't afford tickets to see my favourite band perform no way could I afford the trip to Antarctica.
"Yes?" he replied with his eyebrows raised.
"Sunbae-nim I really like you. Please accept my proposal." I said as I bowed and extended the letter. I looked at my feet as I waited for him to accept it.
"Sorry."
"Huh?" I opened my eyes. His face was emotionless save for what I thought was a hint of disgust.
"I don't like to interact with humans, especially those with particularly low IQ. Dating is a waste of my time." he said loudly, with the whole cafeteria listening.
With that he left, leaving my heartbroken and humiliated.
The whole cafeteria immediately erupted with laughter and whispering. Mostly from the fan girls. They were laughing at me, talking about how hilarious I was.
Tears were about to fall from my eyes. I hadn't moved. One of his friends from my class in junior year rushed over. I didn't know him well; I think his name was Jungkook? I covered my face and he patted me on the back to comfort me. He meant well, but I wasn't in the mood to face anyone. I mumbled thank you and started to walk out of the cafeteria, pausing at the dustbin to forcefully kick my letter into it. I spent the rest of the day in the infirmary so I wouldn't have to face the fan girls.
End Flashback
I started to cry again. I wasn't crying because of the rejection; it was the way he looked at me, the way he insulted me and the way people laughed at me.
Suddenly my phone started to ring. I looked at the screen, reading Yoora's name. I picked up her call.
"Hello dear, how's your grandma?" I asked, mustering as much enthusiasm as I could. There was a long pause. Why wasn't she speaking?
"Yejin, have you seen our school's Twitter page?"
I hadn't even known the school had a Twitter page. I hastily opened Twitter and entered our school's name. I opened our school's page and checked the latest post. I regret that now.
Someone had recorded me proposing to him, him rejecting me and my running out of the cafeteria after kicking the dustbin. Basically someone had recorded the drama and posted it.
"You there?" Yoora asked.
"I'm here, unfortunately"
"Yejin, I leave for two days and this is what you did. I told you he was way out of your league, and I was right, you're a joke to the whole school. Highly low IQ? Who does he think he is?"
She was cut off with my unconscious reply of "God"
"Oh my god, things have gone this far and you still call him god?"
"I don't know what to do now" I said. "I'm totally ruined. I'm a complete joke. Should I transfer schools? But I don't think so-"
"Ruined? Darling you are number one trending. Just check it out." she said.
#Rejection was the number one hashtag. Thank god nobody knew my name.
"Yeah, it's trending, but Yoora, people are laughing at me." I said, my voice cracking.
"Dear, don't cry, you've always wanted to be famous-"
"Not like that! He insulted me!"
"Don't worry Yejin, I already have a plan on how to beat his Jibooty," she said, making me laugh. "Are you feeling better now?"
"Yeah, I guess" I replied.
"Ok, I have to go now. See you at school tomorrow. Love you!"
"Yeah, love you too." I replied, hanging up.
I was exhausted from all this drama. It was way to much for an ordinary girl liked me. So I closed my eyes and tried to sleep.
I had never thought proposing to Park Jimin would make me this infamous. But what I didn't know was that was just the beginning.
