Do you need some help?

Dami's pov:

She was in her thoughts about the book she lost. The canteen staff had told her they didn't find it. She was on the way to the library. School had ended and she was nervous as hell to meet Y/n.

"Where can it be?" She asked herself when someone pushed her against the lockers.

She met Gahyeon's gaze.

"Look who we got here." The bully said.

Dami swallowed hard. It was sure she would get beat up. Suddenly Handong appeared behind Gahyeon.

"Just admit you cheat today and we let you go," Handong said and looked at her intensely.

"W-we didn't c-c-cheat," Dami replied in fear.

"Ah, come on. Everyone knows you are a nerd, but Y/n? Never. She is not that smart." Handong pointed out, while Gahyeon's grip got tighter.

"She is smarter than you think." Dami defended the other girl.

"Oh, You are suddenly so brave. How about we beat you up? You more than deserve it." Gahyeon said and raised her fist.

Dami closed her eyes and awaited the pain as always.

"HEY, stop it girls or I will come over." The caretaker yelled down the hallway.

Dami opened her eyes again, as Gahyeon let go of her.

"You were lucky this time." She said and shoved her hard against the lockers.

The black-haired girl started to tremble, while Handong and Gahyeon left. She sunk to the ground and tears streamed down her face. It was the first time she defended someone else. It made her feel good, so good that she cried. Suddenly she remembered the meeting with Y/n and got up. She brushed the tears away from her face, as she ran down the hallway. Arrived at the library, she searched for Y/n. The other girl had chosen a spot where usually no students hung out. It was called "the loser corner".

"I told you not to be late," Y/n said, as Dami approached her.

"Sorry," Dami replied and sat down.

"You look terrible by the way." Y/n pointed out after she looked up from her notebook.

"I ran into Handong on the way here," Dami explained.

"That explains a lot," Y/n said.

Dami was too embarrassed to keep eye contact with the other girl so she pulled out her book. The gaze of Y/n was following her every move as Dami laid her book on the table.

"Your name is Jubin, right?" Y/n asked.

Dami looked up from her book and shook her head.

"No, my name is Yubin, but you can call me Dami." She replied.

Y/n's pov:

"Dami, huh?" You raised one eyebrow. "So, what is it that you have problems with?" You asked uninterested.

You were sure you heard that name before but didn't remember where.

"That," Dami replied and gestured over the whole book.

You let out a sigh and started to massage your temples with one hand.

"Okay, then let's start from the beginning." You said annoyed.

You explained the solution and she listened to you carefully.

"Got it?" You asked after you were done.

"I think so, but this is not the way Mrs. Kim explained it." The nerd girl pointed out.

"Did you understand the way Mrs. Kim explained it?" You asked.
