eunwoo grabbed yerin by the strap on her bag. "i'm talking to you. are you deaf or something?" he said and pulled yerin backwards, making her fall. she still hadn't said anything, just stared up at him in fear. "what the fuck do you think you're doing?" sinb asked, showing up out of nowhere. "piss off, football captain." eunwoo said, rolling his eyes. sinb scoffed. "do you know who this is?" sinb asked, walking up to yerin and patting her head. "the blind bitch who bumped into me." eunwoo said, crossing his arms. "this is jung yerin. she belongs to me and i hate when people touch my things." sinb spat, kicking eunwoo where it hurt.

eunwoo's knees met and he grabbed his area, screaming in pain. sinb grabbed yerin's arm and helped her up. the two of them got out of there as people began inspecting the cause of the noise. "he didn't hurt you, right?" sinb asked as they got yerin's class. yerin still wasn't talking, in fear of her voice wavering and breaking out into tears. instead, yerin shook her head and kept her head down. sinb grabbed a fistful of yerin's hair and made her to look up but was surprised to see her in tears. sure, sinb hit her and what not but yerin would always take the hits without tears, so seeing her cry was strange to sinb. suddenly, sinb felt bad, really bad. "are you okay?" sinb asked, slowly letting go of yerin's hair. yerin couldn't keep it in anymore. she hugged the closest person or thing to her and it happened to be sinb, sobbing her heart out.

sinb didn't know what to do. no one ever really cried around her, let alone hug her while doing so. sinb just awkwardly returned the hug, swallowing the lump that was building up in her throat due to guilt. as soon as yerin realized what she was doing, she quickly pulled away from the hug. "um, i'm s-sorry." yerin said before quickly entering the class to get away from sinb. sinb tried to tell her to wait but she was already in the class. eunbi sighed and shook her head. 'why are you worried about her feelings? that's not your problem.' sinb repeated in her head, trying to convince herself that it was true. "did you get that?" one of the students who ran the school's gossip page━momo━asked.

the student with the camera flipped through the pictures before nodding to momo. "good. this is gonna be good for us." momo said, smiling sinisterly.

when sinb got home from school, she still couldn't get the image of yerin with tears running down her face out of her head. "hi, mom." sinb said to her mom, that was in the kitchen making dinner, as she entered her house. "hi, sweetie. no football practice today?" her mom asked, dropping the knife she was using and kissing sinb on the cheek. "no, not today. what are you making? it smells good." sinb asked, looking into the pot on the stove. "don't touch my pots with your filthy hands, eunbi! go and shower. and tell your cousin dinner will be ready in about thirty minutes." her mom said, shooing sinb away. sinb laughed quietly and ran upstairs into the room her older cousin stayed in while she was there.

"don't you know how to knock?" her cousin━eunha━asked, redirecting her attention from her phone to her cousin. "shut up. you don't even live here. anyway, dinner will be ready in thirty minutes." sinb said, sticking her middle finger up at eunha. eunha rolled her eyes and shook her head, turning her attention back to her phone. "bye, now." eunha said. sinb chuckled to herself before shutting the door and heading to her room. sinb threw her book bag onto her king sized bed and kicked her shoes off, rummaging through her wardrobe for a comfortable outfit to wear. she settled on a pair of grey sweats and a white tee shirt. she grabbed her towel, phone and speaker before heading off to the bathroom.

sinb connected her phone to her speaker and put her shower playlist on shuffle. she hummed to the song as she stripped and got into the shower. she sat in the shower with her knees pulled to her chest and water pouring over her, still thinking about yerin's red, tear stained face.
