The loud slap rang into my ears as my head turned to the side when a palm hit my cheeks.

Despite the burning pain I stay composed and didn't move from my spot. Like a toy robot waiting to be ordered before making a move.

My father's face was red from anger.

"I told you not to disappoint me, didn't I? It seems like it did not sink into your head!" He pushes his finger into my forehead until it turns red

"Is picking a friend that hard for you? How can you befriend that troublesome girl?!"

I was about to reason out when I saw how he look so instantly stop myself from talking.

"Don't associate yourself with her. She's a blacksheep and being close with that kind of person will not do you any good." He loosen his tie and pointed his finger at me. "Go to your room, I don't want to see you."

"Yes." Was my only response and abide to his order

I closed the door from behind me and leaned myself against it thinking of ways to fix this mess 'cause I don't wanna loss her

I let out a heavy sighed and buried my head into my hands as thoughts consumed me.

The next day during P.E class I stay as far as I can from everyone. The class become bolder and shameless with their actions. They are openly touching Soo-Ji on the sensitive parts of her body while walking on the school ground.

"You have a big buttocks."

"Is it P.E next period?"A male voice makes me halt and raised my head.

Walking towards us is our homeroom tescher, Mr. Lim Joo Hyung. "What's so fun." He questioned. "Are you sure you're having fun all together?"

"Mr. Lim, leave us alone during breaktime. This is how we have fun." Woo-Yi said and pull on Soo-Ji's bra band from the back while smiling."Right, Soo-Ji?

I saw our P.E teacher jog towards them. "Mr. Lim."She look around and ask. "What is it?"

"Well, the thing is.." Mr. Lim fix his eyeglasses seemingly thinking of some excuses for his action

My attention went back to Soo-Ji when She fake a cough. "Mr. Lim, will you walk me to the infirmary? I think I have a cold."

"I'll go with her."Do-Ah immediately volunter

"I'll go with him." Soo-Ji insist

"Right. You have class to take."He turn to Ms. Park and ask. "I'll take her. Is that okay?" The P.E teacher nodded her head

"Sure."

"Let's go, Soo-Ji."

Do-Ah can only watch from the side as Soo-Ji walked together with the crazy teacher.

"Fool." I mumbled under my breath

I saw how Da Yeon smirk while watching them leave the field. Both of her hands are kept inside her pocket. When her eyes suddenly locked into mine She start walking towards me.

"You're not answering my messeges."

"I was busy." I retort

She was about to talk back when her phone vibrate. She opened the messege and chuckle

"This girl is desperate. Isn't she?" She turn her phone towards me showing a photo of Soo-Ji being accompanied by the lunatic teacher. An inevitable sigh escaped my lips.

"Who wouldn't. No one can actually stay still after being treated like that.

"I know." she grinned evilly. "Look at everyone. They are enjoying it." She said pertaining to our classmates who are snickering while looking at their phones.

"Will someone come and save her? I'm curious."

"I'm not sure." I answered shrugging my shoulder

Ms. Park blow on her whistle. "Everyone form two lines! We will start our activity! Hurry up!"

I turn to look at her. "My dad told me to avoid you so don't approach me unless necessary."

"What?" She got stunned on her spot. Eyes widened and mouth slightly open.

I tried to stop myself from smiling at her adorable reaction but an unintentional smile form on my lips in which I immediately conceal by turning my back at her and jog toward the others with her following behind me. I can feel her burning gaze on my back.

Everyone lined up for the activity. I stand behind Jae Hyeong and opened my phone when a notification sound ring. A chat popout on my phone screen.

(Did you see it? What's going on with Soo-Ji?)

(She's doomed.)

(What is she going to do.)

The first person in line started running while those in the back continue chatting on their phones.

I turn off my phone and put it inside my pocket and walk toward the line because I'm next. When the whistle blow I start running clearing my head from any thoughts and focuse mainly on the activity.

Soo-Ji did it to herself, she shouldn't trust anyone in the first place.

"Hey! Watch out!" I saw a ball flying towards me

You should've warn me earlier!

The ball hit me on my head making me fall to the ground because of the impact. When I tried to get up my vision sudenly got blurry and an extream head pain pierce through my brain.

That hit was too hard that I lost conscious

The next thing I know is waking up with a troubling headache piercing through my skull inside of the school infirmary.

A white blanket was wrapped around my body.

I pulled myself up and massage my temple

"You're awake." I turn to look at the source of the voice and saw Da Yeon sitting comfortably on the chair beside the infirmary's bed.

"Can you please close the window, the sun is hurting my eyes." I told her

She stand up without a word and walk toward the opened window and close it before sliding close the curtain.

"Did you get a good sleep?" She asked

"I did not sleep. I lost conscious know the difference." I rolled my eyes. "Where's the school nurse."

Da Yeon sat across me. "She went out."

"And you?" She raise her brow

"What about me?"

I averted my eyes from her. "Didn't I told you to stay away from me." I could feel my throat tighthening as I wait for her to response but I got none.

When I peek over her I saw the side of her lips raised up.

"I don't remember agreeing to that, love."

"Huh?"A smile curves on her lips making my heart beat faster than usual.

She remove the distance between us and pressed her lips againts mine. She pushes me back to the bed and towered over me, her hand moves inside my shirt while I'm tugging on her hair feeling the pleasure of her lips that is slowly traveling down my colar bone.

Bougsh!

I quickly push Da Yeon away and pulled down my shirt before looking at the person standing near the curtain that separate the space for each bed in the infirmary for privacy.

Seol-Ha is just looking at us with her usual stoic face with a bottled of water rolling on the ground near her feet.

"Fuck! You scare me." I sighed in relief

"Close the infirmary door if you don't want to get caught." She said and casually pick up the bottle.

"Yah! What are you doing here?" Da Yeon get up and gripped on Seol-Ha's collar

"You told me to buy food for Yoo Jebi." She look at me before returning her gaze to Da Yeon. "I saw Ye-Lim exiting the infirmary just now. She saw everything."

I immediately get up and run toward the door.

"That was unexpected." I froze on my spot when I saw her leaning againts the wall outside of the infirmary.

She was waiting...

"You." I mumbled

"You and Da Yeon." She smirk. "Watching someone so cruel act so gentle to someone else." She walks toward me with both of her hands inside her pocket.

"It was interesting."

"What do you want?" She chuckled

"Me." She point to herself. "I don't want anything from you."

"Then-"

"You don't have to worry. I'm not a blabber mouth, but there is something that I'm curious about." Her gaze harden.

"Why her?"

I cross my arms. "Why not her?"

"She's a cruel person."

"She was a victim too. Ha-Rin, that girl is forcing us all to play this game. We have no cho-"

"Are you telling me that She was also forced to bully and beat up the other kids in our class? Don't make me laugh, Everyone was threaten by Ha-Rin but did they ever use violence and beat up someone like what Da Yeon did?" She raise her brows.

"Completely letting your emotions override your logical reasoning is rubish. I never thought of you as someone like that."

I can feel how my hands trembled because of an emotion that I couldn't describe. I close my fist not minding the pain of how my finger nails dig into my palm.

She look at my fist and sighed. "Think about it. Kim Da Yeon is not go-"

"Stop it." I warned her. "Seriously, all of you says the same thing." I click my tongue and look at her.

"Whether she's good for me or not. The one who decide that is me."

She gasped."You're crazy."

"I know." It's not like I'm innocent. I am not just showing.
