PART 7

PART 7: It's payback time

Here I am again, crying soulessly on another night.I'm slowly breaking, emotionally.It's just too hard for me, I-I can't understand why, why did she leave me, am I not enough?Was I not enough?What did I do wrong?Did I dissapoint her?

I ran  my hands through my hair, frustrated.All of the thing that happened and is continously happening is just too hard for me.Now I'm living on the same roof as the possible child of my Mom from another guy?I scoffed.

I can't even tell anyone about my problems--not even Yifan, I just think that he wouldn't understand, and if I tell it to Hyunae I could only think of her making fun of me.Why do I have to go through all of this?

Studies are like smashing me in the head, now my personal problems are like smashing my head twice harder than my studies and it just--I don't understand why.

Can't I just have atleast somebody with me who could possibly be with me through all this, someone who could help me?someone who'd understand me?I guess none.

I've built a wall around my feelings, my soft spot, and now--the wall feels like thorns enclosing me, suffocating me instead of protecting me, but still I ignore it, thinking it's still protecting me.

My door creaked open, I immediately wiped my tears dry.I saw Beauty walking in and approaching me, "Is Venus okay?", "Why are you here?and why are you still awake?" I told her, completely ignoring her question.She sat beside me at my bed then she held my hand,

 "It's okay Venus, Beauty here for you", then she hugged me, I frozed--her warmth reminds me of mom again, which I both like and hate. I removed her grip from me, "Go sleep with auntie", she just nodded and went to the door, but before she completely left she looked at me again and bid me Good night.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Good morning Hyunae!", I cheerfully greeted her as soon as I saw her, she smiled back after saying it back.

"You done with your project?", I nodded in reply, the submission's today but it was mentioned the other day so I had time to do it without cramming.

She hummed and then mumbled a good for you.That was quiet odd, is she not done with hers yet?I turned to her and ask if she hadn't done hers, I mean, I'd be glad to help her.She shook her head and motioned towards Jungwon's direction.I followed it and saw that he's doing his project--wait he's literally just doing it now--today?

Hyunae seemed to have read my expression, "He said he's at a family gathering, and mentioned he's almost done so that's basically the final touches.", I shrugged and made my way towards Jungwon.I poked his shoulder, "Give me atleast 5 minutes.", I sat beside him and I guess since he's too busy, he didn't seem to have noticed that it was me.

"Need an extra hand?", he quickly looked at my direction, I raised a brow at him, waiting for his answer.He waved it off claiming he's almost done and he could do it himself so I excused myself and went back to Hyunae. "He's too stubborn anyways, I can see that he need help yet doesn't ask for it", I said rolling my eyes.

"Maybe he really doesn't", she laughed, I shrugged but I still wavered it off

I looked around, waiting for our professor to arrive.My eyes met his again, but I quickly turned to look away, no one even noticed it. 

Soon enough,  somebody unfamiliar walked in, everyone's head turned to the front, noticing the unnamed person walking in--a few girls started whispering, maybe because they think he's 'attractive', I just rolled my eyes.

"Professor- nim is about to arrive, he sent me here to say he'll be late and you can start preparing for your debate", he bowed then he left.

"Is he new here?", I heard a girl squeal in a really annoying way.What's new anyways, they're like that, someone 'attractive' arrives and they'll be like wolves looking for a prey.I faked a cough.

A few eyes looked towards me. "I think it's best if we focus our attention on preparing for our debate like what Professor said rather than doing other things.", I said glancing towards the girl, she rolled her eyes at me and said "mind your own business bitch", I laughed 

"oh look, a dog on her defense mode", then smirking towards her, many laughed while she just frowned.Serves her right.

Yixing's POV

"Now I will announce your grades from the debate.Obviously Ms.Wu's side won, and with her big contribution to that side she'll get a perfect grade", he paused as a sign that we should applaud her, I rolled my eyes but still clapped

 "followed by Mr.Zhang, who also contributed a lot for their side, other than that most of you did received a high to decent grade but..", oh does that mean somebody failed, probably those flirtly loquacious girls?Dang some mufus failed on a debate.

"I've observed that one of you didn't actually contributed any points to their respective team, thinking they'd receive a grade, well guess what--you don't.Aren't you all curious who they are?", our professor is obviously amused yet half irritated by those people since he really wants to take them into the spotlight.

"Yes professor, I'd like to know who they are", I said, an amused smile plastered into my face.

"Han Jikyung, Kim Dawon, Gong Shinyu, will you girls stand?", I chuckled looking at them embarassingly standing up.I looked around and see her just as amused at it, she obviously hate them.

"Will you tell me what were you doing while waiting for me to arrive?", the girls just remained their head bowed repeating their sorry's.Our professor just shook his head, still waiting for their answer.

"Ms.Wu, why are you raising your hand?", nearly everyone--even me, looked at her direction, she stood up.

"Since they wouldn't answer what they were doing while waiting for you, I figured it would be best if I would do it for them, Professor-nim.", our professor nodded, waiting for her to continue.

"Well you see, a while ago, an unfamiliar student--no wait, a guy went here to announce what you wanted us to do while waiting, and as you can see these..3 girls are ofcourse swooned by the guy and just focused on talking about them instead of focusing on preparing for the debate--and I tried to tell them to stop", she shrugged then went to sit.

I saw the girls glaring at her, which the professor caught. "There is nothing wrong with saying the truth is there?But there is something wrong with disobeying your Professor, you 3 will get detention.", I glanced at her, but she wasn't looking, she's actually smiling, probably glad with the punishment.
