I hope you enjoy!

Harin didn't like what she is seeing.
A few seats away was Y/N happily chatting away in a one-sided conversation. The bright smile on her face was heartwarming, but the fact she was talking to Jaeun was not.
It made her blood boil.
Why are you talking to Jaeun? Harin furrowed her eyebrows, her lips curling into a frown.
That's not fair. She doesn't deserve that. Stop that. Harin clenched her fists.
Worst of all, Harin could not afford to act freely.
All eyes were on those two, some in awe at Jaeun's true nature, and others were curious at Y/N's good mood.
Jaeun quietly paid attention to Y/N, nodding here and there to her incessant questions and inquiries. She seemed awkward throughout it all, but she still tried.
This was all Sooji and Jaeun's fault. Had they not tried to ruin her game.
Had they not spread rumors of Jauen's sympathetic fall to F Rank.
Had Jaeun not participate in the game like she should have.
Then Y/N wouldn't be sitting there, talking to Jaeun.
Y/N's laughs, smiles, and chatters. Jaeun deserves none of it.
But who would dare ruin this moment? Jaeun was no longer Rank F and Y/N was ranked B with the looks of an S.
Then how?
Who would dare... Harin frantically glanced around the room for a few moments.
Then her eyes landed on Dayeon.
She would.
Dayeon couldn't sit still, a tense expression was on her face. She did just fall down from A. She fell from greatness, outmatched by Yerim and replaced by Eunbyeol of all people, and now she's scared.
Harin stood up from her seat, approaching Dayeon.
"Harin...?" Dayeon widened her eyes, looking up at her upon noticing her presence.
"Hey Dayeon."
...
Y/N peacefully spoke to Jaeun.
She's a better listener than I thought. Y/N smiled, talking Jaeun's head off while she could only patiently nod along awkwardly. That's so cute. I should tell Harin about her.
Suddenly, her good mood took a turn.
"Huh...?" Y/N widened her eyes.
Y/N saw Dayeon standing behind Jaeun with a scary look. She swung her fist at Jaeun, knocking her off her seat and taking everyone by surprise.
"Ouch!" Jaeun groaned, landing on the ground roughly. She widened her eyes, looking up at Dayeon in confusion.
"Dayeon, what the hell are you doing?!" Y/N yelled, glaring and standing up from her seat.
"Shut up!" Dayeon snapped at her before looking back at Jaeun.
"This... damn... bitch." Dayeon continued to beat down on Jaeun, stomping her stomach with no signs of stopping and cursing through gritted teeth.
Outrage soon spread through the class.
"Damn it!"
"Stop it now!" Yerim shouted, intervening as well.
"What do you think you're doing, Dayeon?" Even Sooji joined in.
She's not even ranked F. Y/N's heart sank. Why... Why is this happening?
Harin watched it all go down from her seat, suppressing the smile creeping up on her face. The class was in chaos while a few girls restrained Dayeon from harming Jaeun anymore. It was interesting how a few words could get her exactly what she wanted.
Harin glanced at Y/N, gauging her reaction. Then she scowled.
Y/N had a horrified look on her face, her eyes was focused on Jaeun, full of concern.
Harin bit her lip, furrowing her eyebrows. Why do you care about her, Y/N?
Harin stood up from her seat.
"Stop it. Stop it now!" A commanding voice resounded through the room. Simultaneously, everyone began to halt with all eyes on her. All eyes on Harin.
Harin slowly approached the scene, looking between everyone with a stern glare before turning to Y/N.
Her expression softened, "Are you okay? You weren't hurt, right?"
"Uh... yeah... but Jaeun..." Y/N said quietly, eyes switching between her and Jaeun.
"You look pale. Do you want to step out for a bit?" Harin said, putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Yeah... that would be nice." Y/N nodded, looking away from Jaeun.
With her hand still on Y/N's shoulder, Harin began to walk her out of the classroom.
"And Dayeon," Harin paused for a moment, looking back at Dayeon, "You were out of line this time."
"...What?" Dayeon widened her eyes, exasperated.
Harin opened the door for Y/N, leaving the classroom while ignoring Dayeon's struggles and shouts of outrage as she continued being restrained.
"Hey Harin!"
"Harin!!"
Harin closed the door behind her.
"Hey Harin..."
Harin looked at Y/N.
"Will Jaeun be fine...? She got beaten really badly by Dayeon." Y/N said, looking off to the side.
Harin stayed quiet, looking at her with a tight-lipped smile.
"She'll be fine. Don't think about Jaeun anymore." Harin said, patting her back for reassurance.
"Don't even talk to her."
"Huh...?" Y/N widened her eyes.
Harin wrapped her arms around Y/N, pulling her into a hug.
"I am all that you need." Harin pressed her lips against Y/N's.
