"come on smalls it's not that much work"
"shut the fuck up maple boy." freya hissed, glaring at the boy from behind her long eyelashes. mark rolled his eyes, crossing his arms over his chest.

"you know you're already usually pissy but today you've been extra pissy." he stated as they continued to walk through the halls of the school together. they got a few confused looks from people passing by, probably wondering what such an uncanny pair was doing together.

both of them, being the aces of their groups, were assigned to work together for training so the past week and a half they've been training with each other- well at least trying to.

it was hard with freyas lack of emotion and ability to care about anything and marks attitude and stubbornness- not a very good mix.

"hm well i don't know maybe it's because i started early morning with the daily eunli and her minions annoying the shit out of me in the middle of the hallway. oh also i started my period on top of that. oh and let's not forget the fact that i have to train with an absolute dick who thinks he's all that because he has bitches."

mark went silent, not exactly knowing how to respond. he knew better than to say anything- even if he had the urge to give a snarky remark. sometimes even mark lee could be scared of freya.

"look... would it be better if i drove you somewhere to get food or something? would you have a better time training then?" he asked awkwardly, his gaze going from in front of them to freya then to the front of them again as they excited the school.

she huffed, rolling her eyes. "whatever maple boy." she said, pushing her bag into his arms and walking in front of him towards his car. "you know you can't get in the car without my keys!" he called out, momentarily stopping in his place.

the girl only held up her right hand in the air and shook it, causing marks eyes to go wide. "how the fuck did you get my keys-"

"so why is this necklace so important anyways? why do you have such a valuable necklace in the first place...?" mark questioned, placing his drink on the concrete next to him. freya let out a small sigh, scrunching her face up at the sun that was almost setting.

they had gotten food from some boba shop freya suggested and now they were sitting at an abandoned skate park at the top of one of the highest ramps. it was quite, the only noise being heard was the sound of birds and the wind that blew.

"it was my moms. and her moms before that. i came from a line of women in the kim family who cherished that necklace with their lives and wore it with pride." she said simply, leaning back on the palms of her hands and letting her feet swing over the ledge of the ramp.

"so this seungmin guy took it to bait you because he knew it was important to you?" the older questioned, turning to look at the girl who's eyes were glowing in the light of the sun. "pretty much. smart... but not smart enough for my team."

"do you ever wear it?" he asked after a beat of silence, watching as she turned to him with a snarky smile on her face. "i was never brave enough, it just there for me to admire." she shrugged, pushing her hair behind her ear.

mark gave a confused look to the girl who was placing her trash in the bag the food came in. "but you said you came from a line of women in the kim family who wore it with pride ...?" he trailed off as freya stood, dusting her pants off.

"i did mr. lee." she smiled, holding out a hand to help the boy stand up. "but i was also adopted so that part didn't really matter." and with a pat on the boys shoulder, she walked away in the direction of marks car, leaving the older standing there dumbfounded.
