?. 01

I wasn't really friends with Suhyeok, we only interact with each other because he is Cheongsan's friend and Cheongsan's mine.

Does that mean we're acquaintances?

Maybe.

"I have a question, Vice Prez." Suhyeok broke the awkward silence.

"Hmm?"

"What books do you usually read? You always have a book with you, well except now," my eyebrow raised at his question. "Why do you ask?" It was a very random question. Why is he suddenly interested in the books I read?

"Well, I want to gift someone a book. Maybe you know a good one?" I suddenly felt excited with his question.

I love it when someone asks me for a recommendation.

"Oh, I know a-" My attention turned towards the noise coming from a group of boys who's pulling two students around our age towards the way to the abandoned building near our school.

I squinted my eyes and saw a very familiar person.

Ugh, this motherfucker.

"Hey, Yoon Gwinam!" I shouted, running towards the group.

They stopped and Gwinam grinned upon seeing me.

"What brings you here, Song Butterfly?" He asked.

"What are you doing?" I said, pointing at the two students that the other guys were holding.

"Oh, them? They're nothing, Vice Prez." The ugly jerk answered instead of Gwinam. I glared at him and he made the zipper motion on his mouth.

"Hey Gwinam, how about we take Song Nabi instead?" One of the ugly fuckers said making my ears ring.

Gwinam was about to speak but I pushed him and turned to the guy who spoke earlier.

"How about I send you to the juvenile instead?"

Some "oohs" were heard from the other guys. The jerk in front of me went quiet as his eyes mirrored fear.

"A-As if you can," he said. I stepped forward slowly, smirking.

I pulled his tie and whispered on his ear. "You don't want me to try, ugly jerk. I think you forgot who you're talking to."

I can see him froze, colors leaving his face. Perfect, this jerk knows when to back out and get scared.

"Pull this kind of shit again and your parents will visit you in a juvenile instead of this school. Try me."

I turned to Gwinam and was about to scold him when I felt a hand snake on my waist. I looked up and saw Suhyeok in a staring contest with Gwinam.

When he finally noticed that I was looking at him, he brought me closer to him and whispered on my ear. "Let's go, Vice Prez. Don't waste your time here, it's almost time for class."

I looked at my wristwatch and saw that I only had 15 minutes to rush to class. I eyed Gwinam and mouthed "I'll talk to you later" before pulling the two students with me.

We decided to drop off the two students at their classroom first. Good thing their classroom is just beside ours.

I sighed with relief as I saw Ms. Park at the door. Suhyeok and I immediately rushed to our seats just as Ms. Park entered our classroom.

Ms. Park started with the attendance and my mind wandered to the scene earlier.

God, I cannot believe I acted like that. I mean I did what I had to do to stop them from bullying the two students, but did I really have to pull the "I'll tell my father about this" act?

I really could put them in juvenile if I wanted to. Just one word from me and my father will do anything.

And Gwinam! He has gone mad. Grandmother's going to be so mad at me.

Grandma used to take care of us when we were kids. Gwinam was her neighbour's kid. We kind of lost communication after I moved to my parents' but Grandma contacted me a month ago.

She told me to watch him now that we're in high school because his case of bullying other students is getting out of hand.

Why the fuck is he bullying people - that's what I don't understand.

He was nice when we were kids. He was one of the nice kids.

What the hell happened?

"Have you heard what Hyeonju said? She was locked up by the Science teacher..." Nayeon said.

Ms. Park together with Onjo, I-sak, and Suhyeok left the classroom to take Hyeonju to the clinic.

She honestly smelled like shit and got blood all over her. The only thing she said when she got here was that our Science teacher locked her up.

Now, Nayeon's telling everyone that she was right. That the Science teacher was indeed weird and suspicious.

"Nayeon, stop it already." I had to intervene. Ms. Park already told us to stay quiet until it was confirmed and until she had talked to the teacher.

Nayeon won't do anything to help the situation, at all.

The only thing she knows is to whine and be annoying. Gosh.

"Why? I was just telling the truth!" She whined. I rolled my eyes. "Who told you that? No one did, right? Now, shut up." I went back to my seat and took out my airpods to listen to some music.

I have to think of ways on how to approach Gwinam later. He's different now and much more stubborn. He's cocky and just loves to bully everyone.

He was one of the students who bullied the Science teacher's son.

He shouldn't even be my responsibility. We weren't friends anymore, he never talked to me again even though he knows I go to Hyosan like him.

He should be thankful I still listen to my Grandmother. All he does is stress me everyday.

I think I deserve a spa break after class.
