Third Person's POV.

After the fun discussion with Ms. Hong, the first half of their day was done. It was now lunchtime, which means Yuri's Anti-Violence thing is in a few minutes.

Yuri became a nervous wreck that her friends almost had her take in a pill to calm her down.

Everyone— Eunbi, Sakura, Hyewon, Yena, Chaeyeon, Chaewon, Minju, Nako, Hitomi, Yujin, and Wonyoung— was present. As much as Minju and Chaewon wanted to ignore each other, they couldn't because they knew that Yuri needed them.

Chaewon, after that draining scene in the library, returned to her typical self. Like nothing occurred except for she was consistent with her words, she never spoke to Minju again. In any case, it's anything but a veneer, a cover to conceal her actual self. Chaewon is so used to concealing herself that it became too normal for her. She's not actually what everybody thinks she is

While Minju regrets everything. She was constantly having a battle within herself— whether she will say sorry to the girl or do the opposite. Minju is thinking about the former in light of the fact that she feels guilty. She attempted to apologize however every time she does, it doesn't work. She just can't find the perfect timing. She felt like she was in a rush because she knew that if she delayed it longer, she would most certainly lose her Chaewon.

The whole Enozi High was anticipating the whole Jo Yuri vs Kim Woojin case, and yes, everyone's on Yuri's side— at least, that's what they think.

Woojin, the asshole, has been keeping it low ever since the foundation day incident.

Before going to the Auditorium for the School Anti-Violence Committee, the gang decided to eat lunch first.

Be that as it may, Yuri, couldn't swallow her food. Her brain turned into a wreck. She doesn't know whether she's simply overthinking yet it appeared as though something awful will occur.

her friends told her to calm down for the nth time but neither of those is helping her. It feels like she's on the court.

Feeling terrified, something somewhere inside Yuri was appreciative. Thankful For her friends, for everyone supporting her, and for everyone who stood by her. It's a new feeling, having someone behind her back.

It took her back to her days in Busan. God knows how much she wanted to forget that wretched town but she spent all of her life in there in a truly hopeless way that she can't just forget about it. Prior to going to Seoul, it was just Yuri and herself and that's it. She lived on with everybody needing to cut her down.

But now, things have changed. She has her friends now.

Eunbi despite being all commanding and strict, by one way or another realizes that Eunbi loves them and is doing all that she can to ensure and protect all of them since she's the oldest. She holds the majority of the obligations behind her back. Eunbi loves them like a mother. A genuine leader who's willing to forfeit her own things for her friends.

Sakura, Nako, and Hitomi. The group's fearless and brave Japanese best buds. Despite the fact that they would roast the fuck out of you, they're individuals who will be at the forefront of your defense team. Your foe is consequently theirs. There's this unspoken rule that they're the ones in particular who can toss pernicious words at you without bad sentiments, of course.

Hyewon and Chaewon, despite looking all uninterested and indifferent all the time. They're the ones to care for you without really showing it. That 'I don't give a fuck' vibe all the time but if you need them, they will be willing to get their hands dirty to protect you. A Tsundere, that's a more accurate term. Cold on the outside, warm on the inside. Such duality.

Yena and Yujin. The team's energizer—LITERALLY. The crackhead duo shares one brain cell. Might be all fun and games yet if somebody harms you, these bitches will absolutely quit fooling around and avenge you. AND YOU WON'T LIKE IT IF THEY ARE SERIOUS. They are willing to risk their all for you. Notwithstanding behaving like they lost their last brain cell, they're really more astute than it appears. They just don't like using their brains as it is 'bothersome' like Yena consistently cites. They are the team's pillars when things get hard.

Minju and Wonyoung. These two may act innocent and all, indeed, they are. The group's Princesses. In spite of having this almighty image, Wonyoung is their wellspring of knowledge. Regardless of being the youngest, she's the person who regularly reminds them to thoroughly consider things prior to accomplishing something. She's surprisingly full-grown in a canny manner. For Minju, she reminds the others to remain kind. The person who's consistently there for everybody that she neglects she's stinging as well. These two bring judiciousness and rationality to the team.

Chaeyeon, the Mom. Chaeyeon may have this unnerving veil at whatever point students are near yet when it's simply them twelve, she resembles a Mom—The person who takes care of every one of them. She and Eunbi are the ones taking care of the group however in an unexpected way. Eunbi is more pioneer-like while Chaeyeon is just purity, nothing more. The team's foundation.

Each one of them has totally different characteristics but they match quite well— they compliment each other very well. It's almost like they're destined to meet.

A friendship where twelve individuals become one, against all odds.

...

As though time skipped and Yuri is presently seating in the Gymnasium with Kim Woojin seating next to her yet in a significant stretch.

She's ended up confronting ten individuals who had pens thumping as they connected with the paper. It's the school's board of directors, the parent's committee, and a representative from the office of education to go about as the appointed authority for this case. It shouldn't be just about as serious as this however since this case turned out to be tremendously known, it shouldn't be messed with. They are a panel of Education Security Experts.

She shut her eyes and played with her pinky finger. Not long ago, Her friends were with her but now she's all alone in this room with scary-looking people that just exudes this powerful aura.

Yuri thought about every one of the things her friends advised her. Her breathing got ordinary, not as heavy as it seemed to be before.

"Ms. Jo Yuri, I need to get your statement of the entire thing that happened that day." The guys who sat in the middle spoke in a very strict way.

Scary, Yuri thought to herself.

"THAT'S UNFAIR. WHY WOULD SHE BE GIVEN A CHANCE TO TELL HER STORY?" Woojin rapidly stood up making the chair fall on the ground.

Yuri flinched, not expecting Woojin to shout.

"Hush, Little Boy. You're the aggressor in this situation, obviously, you'll be allowed an opportunity to clarify your side. Yet, I wouldn't be behaving that way if I were you. I can give the last decision on the spot and I'm almost certain you will not have the option to walk around this school until kingdom come. This school as well as each school here in Korea." a similar man said with great authority.

Woojin promptly shut his mouth and took the seat and lethargically dragged it to where it was before it fell.

"As I was saying, Ms. Jo please tell everyone what happened that day." Everyone waited for Yuri to start talking. Yuri felt her nerves kicking in, the stares, the pressure is too much for her.

She closed her eyes and remembered the last thing her friends said.

It was for her to tell them the truth, nothing more and nothing less.

"Go ahead, darling, don't be scared." A girl in her mid-40s cooed Yuri, smiling at her. It was the president of the parent's organization, Mrs. Lim.

"T-That day... I uh... I was supposed to each lunch with my friend. We went to the cafeteria and were about to get some food when an unknown girl went to me and asked if I was Jo Yuri. Of course, I said I was and when I asked why she said that she found a note in her locker that says says 'Tell Jo Yuri to go to room 11—C at the 2nd year's building' I thought it was really important so I went ahead to the place that was written there. When I got in the room, at first I kind of expected it to be empty since everyone was lurking around the cafeteria and the bulletin board because it was the same day the rankings were released so it was a shock for me to see him, W-Woojin," Yuri said as land naturally landed on Woojin. "I thought I was in the wrong room but he suddenly told me that he liked me. That I should go out with him and accept his confession. I had no idea who he was at that time so I kindly rejected his confession. T-That's when he... uh... started to get worked up." As Yuri continued her story, it became harder and harder for her to continue. Her breathing became short.

"He told me b-bad things. He started shouting at me and kept telling me things like how I should thank him for liking a stupid girl l-like m-me. When I told him I was leaving, that's when he started to t-touch me." The people who were listening gasped. Of course, they already expected this, but hearing it from the poor girl's mouth is something else.

"Then I girl came inside the room. She probably heard Woojin shouting. She and Woojin exchange ugly words. All the things the girl spat must've triggered Woojin so he tried to hurt the girl but the girl was strong enough to fight him. They fought by fist and Woojin stumbled on the chairs when the girl kicked him. Then the next thing I knew Woojin grabbed a chair and was planning to slam in on the girl's body. I immediately ran to her so I got hit instead. I don't know what happened next because suddenly woke up in the school clinic." Yuri finished the story.

Subsequent to hearing Yuri's perspective. Individuals inside the room wrote something on the paper they were given. Taking notes of the story for further questioning.

"Ms. Jo, the girl who saved you... what's her name?" One of them asked.

"Kim Chaewon," Yuri answered.

"Can we get her here to ask if what she's saying is true?" One of the representatives of the Office Of Education whispered to the Man sitting in the middle. The man nodded.

"Can someone call in Kim Chaewon..." The man stopped when he realized that he didn't know which class Chaewon goes to. "Class 11—A. Building two." Yuri continued it for her.

After a few minutes, Chaewon entered the Gymnasium and stood next to Yuri.

"Hello, Ms. Kim." The man smiled at Chaewon while Chaewon remained expressionless.

"So we called you here to verify the authenticity of Ms. Jo's statement." The man was straightforward but couldn't even move Chaewon. Despite the man oozing with charisma and authority, Chaewon stayed unbothered.

"That day I went in the room where Mr. Kim and Ms. Jo are in. I saw Mr. Kim irritating Ms. Jo. I and Mr. Kim traded mouthful sentences until he launched himself onto me and began assaulting me which wound up with him getting kicked, flying towards the seats making some of it fall. While Mr. Kim endeavored to hit me with a seat which Ms. Jo saw and used her body to shield me." Chaewon momentarily went on the significant subtleties.

The people inside that room had their mouths open, Chaewon and Yuri's assertion consummately coordinated with one another, adding sureness that Woojin attempted to harass Yuri.

"What were you doing there that day? I mean, according to Ms. Jo the students were either in the cafeteria or in the bulletin board?" One of the representatives from the teachers' councilors asked.

"I was supposed to be in the cafeteria with my friends but I needed to use the bathroom first so I excused myself. When I was walking back to the cafeteria, I passed by the rooms in building two and heard some noise. Being naturally curious, I took a peek at the glass at the doors, and there I saw a bothering scene. And you all know the rest." Chaewon calmly told her side of the story.

"What happened after Ms. Jo collapsed?" Chaewon wanted to roll her eyes because there were too many questions but she knew Yuri needed her so she tried her best to answer.

"After Woojin hit Yuri, I punched him and he flew on the lockers," Chaewon said. "I immediately carried Yuri on my back and brought her to the clinic. On our way there, many students saw us. You can ask the nurse if you all are still doubting."

In the wake of hearing the side of the person in question and the witness. They cross-checked it to confirm.

They allowed Woojin an opportunity for his side of the story however Woojin just said every last bit of it was true—that what Yuri said was true. He realized that he'll simply lose this crap, might as well admit it.

They asked the Nurse and the students who professed to see Chaewon carrying Yuri.

All assertions and statements highlight Woojin being liable for badgering and viciousness towards Yuri.
