Chapter 4 - "High Dive Into Frozen Waves Where The Past Comes Back To Life"

-

When everyone displayed their artwork, as abrupt as it was, V got up from his place and blasted out. The girls had an idea of what could've gone wrong but obviously, the boys were clueless. 

K sat there, eyes focused on her black and white painting. It wasn't as great as she'd usually paint but it was symbolic. She painted a girl who covered her eyes with one hand and choked herself with the other, tears streaming down her cheeks as she had her hair disheveled.

This was her, six months ago.

Because V left and the girls asked the others to leave too, they couldn't really decide on the winner. More so, it would've been Hexa obviously so the guys thanked their stars for saving them from the insult. 

"What was that about though?" Sanha asked when they walked out. 

"Who said you could grow curious about others' personal affairs?" Somin interjected, appearing out of nowhere. 

"I- uh I was just asking." He hid behind the leader. 

"Ah whatta baby! Can't even handle himself." She muttered, loud enough for him to hear as he immediately stepped ahead. "Excuse me?"

She cocked a brow, "Truth, mister."

"I am not a baby. I can handle myself, alright." He was offended. 

"Show me then." She stepped ahead, raising her neck to look up at him. He didn't look like the baby anymore. She could tell her heart thumped, looking into his eyes.

"Fine. I am free this Saturday. You can see my whole day. I'll make sure I show you I am not a baby." His tone was dominating suddenly and the way he towered over her, she felt like curling up into a small ball and hide into him. 

So, she nodded saying, "cool," and walked away. Is that gonna be a date?

As soon as she went, Sanha hid his face into Jinjin's back again, shaking all over.

"K said she'll go home herself. I'm leaving then." EN texted on the group chat and gathered her stuff from Hexa's exclusive room in the school when someone peeked from her shoulder.

Startled she turned around instantly and kept both her hands near her heart only to see Eunwoo slump on the couch lazily.

"Cutie," he muttered, smiling. 

"What the fuck are you doing here? How did you even get here in the first place huh? Didn't you see 'Serial Winners Only' written outside? Are you- ugh." She threw her phone in her bag, clenching her fists.

"Calm down. I didn't see that written so I just came in. I didn't know it was your hideout." He unlocked his phone.

"Hideout? Hideout what? You- get up and leave!"

"I will, eventually but you'll have to do something in return or I can stay here forever and oh you might have a lot of girly stuff in here. I might intervene." He smirked.
