Chapter 14 - Friendship Under Fire

Yeong-ae and I enter the school while talking.

"What happened to Se-ra yesterday. She probably didn't come to school today. She's hiding at home because of fear, hahaha. " Yeong-ae says.

"I don't think she's a stay-at-home person. I'm sure she's up to something."

We continues to walk saying this. The two of us were walking through the field into the school when suddenly a ball came towards at me. I didn't see the ball.

Suddenly someone comes and catches the ball before it hits me. I'm a bit surprised to suddenly see someone's hand in front of me face. As I follow the hand and saw a boy standing with a ball in his hand. Though I didn't see the Face of the boy because I can only see his back side.

"Are you okay?" Yeong-ae asks.

"Yes, I'm fine."

I addresses the boy in front, "thank you"

The boy looks back at me after I finished my words. As I see the boy's face, I look surprised at him and says,

"Taewon...!!"

Taewon smiles when he hears his name in my mouth. Taewon throws the basketball at the boys. Then he shouted,

"play carefully boys..."

I grab Taeyeon's arm and drags him to the corner.

"Why did you come here?" I asked.

Taewon smiles and says, "as a volunteer"

"what?"

" Volunteers have been sent from my university to your area. We are also given some responsibilities in your school. Which is why come here. "

"I don't ask this. You never had any interest in this. So why are you doing this all of a sudden?"

"Hey, don't say it anymore. My university teacher gave me my name. And if I do this volunteering, my GPA will also increase. So I left without thinking about anything else. " I says wistfully.

"GPA...! Oh yes, I forgot that the most precious things in the world to you are your exams and GPA. May your GPA be high."

"Thank you"

I get angry at Taewon's answer and leaves.

I throw my bag on the bench as I enters the class. Lots of noise due to throwing bags. Everyone in the class look at me at this. Seeing me so angry, Yeong-ae come to me and asks,

"What happened? Why are you so angry?"

"nothing"

"Something has happened. Otherwise, angry cheeks would not be like two red tomatoes."

"Yeong-ae.... I'm not in the mood for fun."

"So who told you I was kidding! Tell me what happened..."

" Yeong-ae I said nothing happened to me. So why are you asking me so many times?" I shouts angrily.

My shout makes everyone in the class look at us. Yeong-ae looks surprised. She didn't realize why I would react like that.

When I realizes my mistake as I screams. I apologizes to Yeong-ae. But before I can apologize Yeong-ae takes her seat. I feel guilty. I sit down with my head down.

I fall asleep in class. When I wakes up I find a chocolate in front of me. There is also a note with the chocolate. I take the chocolate.

"I am sorry" is written on the note.

With sad emoji art. I realizes it's Yeong-ae's work. My face breaks into a smile as I read the note.

I get up to look for Yeong-ae. Yeong-ae was walking down the school corridor. As I see Yeong-ae and runs to hug her from behind. Yeong-ae is a bit surprised to suddenly be hugged by someone. I look at Yeong-ae and smiles.

"Let's go to the canteen. i feel hungry."

Yeong-ae realizes from my words that I no longer angry. Yeong-ae also smiled.

Jung-hee was working her part-time job at a coffee shop. Jung-hee is surprised to see me walk in. I sit down with a coffee and starts doing my work. I says Jung-hee nothing. When Jung-hee finishes her shift, she came and sits in front of me. As I saw Jung-hee in front of me, I stop my work.

"Finished?" I smiled and asks.

"Yes. But what are you doing here?"

I sipped the last of my cup of coffee and said, "I came to have coffee."

"5 cups?"

Jung-hee says looking at the cups on the table. I look at the clock without answering Jung-hee's words.

"Ummmm, there's a restaurant just ahead. Looks like it's still open."

I stand up with my bag packed. Seeing Jung-hee sitting down, I said.

"It would be better for you to talk somewhere else instead of at your workplace."

Jung-hee smiles at my words.

We are sitting in front of the food. Jung-hee is eating when I asks,

"Why haven't you been coming to school for a while?"

Jung-hee answers with food in her mouth.

"I'm not feeling well."

"Not well or Dong-hyeon won't let u go to School? which one!"

"Oh no, he's not like that. He's much better now than before."

"The devil remains the devil forever."

"Are you worried about me?"

Jung-hee says with a smile. I look away and says.

"Why should I worry about you? Mr. Yoon-seong asked about you in class, that's why I'm looking for you. Or do you want me to do. "

Jung-hee laughs at my words. Seeing Jung-hee laughing, I says angrily,

"Why are you smiling?"

"Where?"

Then both of them started eating. After a while, I hesitates and says,

"Jung-hee, why did you suddenly agree to marry Dong-hyeon?"

"Tell me, where can I get such a handsome, rich, famous boy! So I have made honest use of the opportunity."

Jung-hee said with a wink and smiled. I realizes Jung-hee is joking. I glare at Jung-hee.

The waiter brings some more food. Jung-hee was lightly moving the food on the table so that the food could be placed on the table. I then notices the red mark on Jung-hee's hand. I pulls Jung-hee's left hand after the waiter leaves. Jung-hee says in surprise,

"Su-jin! what are you doing!"

Jung-hee doesn't want to show her hand. But I pulls her hands together and pulls up her sleeves. I saw the red part as I raised the sleeve a little higher. I look at Jung-hee in surprise. Jung-hee sits with her head down. Jung-hee's hand is burnt.

Su-jin angrily says, "Dong-hyeon do it, right?"

Jung-hee doesn't say anything. I come out with my bag, with the restaurant bill. Jung-hee run after me. I saw a car parked and got into that car with Jung-hee.

Dong-hyeon and Hyeon-woo were playing basketball. After Dong-hyeon made a point. As he happily turns around, someone slaps him on the cheek. As he saw me, he looks angry. Hyeon-woo stands at a distance in surprise. Dong-hyeon shouts,

"Who the hell are you?"

Seeing Dong-hyeon scream, I slaps him again. This time Dong-hyeon angrily raised his hands on me. But I used my Karate techniques and grab Dong-hyeon's hand and twists it backwards.

Then whisper in his ear, "If you think girls are weak then you are a big fool."

I take out my own bottle that is It was filled with hot water. I pour the hot water into Dong-hyeon's hand. Dong-hyeon cries out in pain. I pushe him away. Dong-hyeon sits down.

"I just poured hot water on your hand today. if you hurt Jung-hee again you cannot imagine what I will do to you, remember it. " I angrily said.

"Heyyy, tell me your name. I'll tell my dad. you'll see what happens to you later."

I smiles sheepishly and sits in front of him.

"Go and tell your father that you have been beaten by a girl. And the girl's name is su-jin. Then I will see what your father does to me. And yes... If you or your dad need any information about me, come to the school where Jung-hee study. I'm also in her Class. "

I gets up and leaves. Dong-hyeon watches me leaving.
