with one last sigh, she exited the backroom, her eyes widening once they landed on the scene unfolding.

jimmy bae was holding alex go's hair in a tight grip as the latter coughed, holding onto his stomach.

immediately, a memory flashed through her mind as her heartbeat increased and her fist balled into fists.

the girl turned her head to the side, her tear-filled eyes widening at the sight of ( y/n ) standing by the doorway with a rage filled expression.

her eyebrows were wrinkled down to the top of her nose as her breathing hitched.

-

( y/n ) immediately charged at the female who held her friend's hair in a tight grip, kicking her straight in the face with all her strength.

the female bully let go of her victim's hair from the pain that throbbed throughout her abdomen as she flew towards the floor.

she coughed out blood, watching ( y/n ) rush towards her cherished friend with a worried expression evident on her face.

" ha-neul? does it hurt? " her panicked voice questioned, making ha-neul smile softly.

" i'm okay. don't worry " she quickly assured. raising her hands up with a smile, the blood that she coughed out didn't help with backing up the words that left her lips, unfortunately.

-

( y/n ) quickly ran towards jimmy bae before he was able to land a punch on one of alex go's friends who made an attempt to help.

however, she quickly changed her mind from punching jimmy bae to pushing the student out of the way.

her face was met by a harsh punch, slightly wincing from the pain of the impact.

she slightly staggered, not expecting the punch to be that strong given that the past students she had gotten into a fight with were fairly weak.

jimmy bae was taken aback, not expecting the girl to take the punch and not pull an offensive move ( given that the posture she held while running towards them looked as if she was going to kick, but she had changed her footing midway to push the student away instead. )

he was worried about the girl, being aware of his strength, he knew that certainly hurt.

but he didn't let it show.

" yeah, nice try. sticking up for your boyfriend and all. it does put a smile on my face. " jimmy smiled falsely, ignoring the jealously that seeped through his heart.

he assumed they were dating, thinking that the girl wouldn't just step up for just any stranger.

alex go had a tint of red on his pale cheeks, embarrassed from the misconception of jimmy bae.

( y/n ) paid it no mind, instead focusing on how to defuse the situation.

jimmy placed his attention back to alex as he continued to hold the poor boy's hair in a tight grip.

"that idiot not getting the situation and acting up,, it's like looking at you from last year, alex go." jimmy let out a laugh, "you were so feisty and defiant then, challenging me fearlessly. what made you become such a bitch?"

the girl was drifting in and out of reality, scanning through her memories, trying to find a civilised way to stop this, and looking out the door and back inside, wanting to make sure her female coworker wouldn't see what was happening.
