Chapter 10

-Woo Bin-
"I don't know why I'm in here." I said as I played with the pencil.
"You're in here because you and Kyung Soo can't control yourselves." Said the teacher.
"I need to get out of here." Kyung Soo said.
"You can leave when Leah comes and explains what happened."
"She's almost here she said." kyung Soo said.
Right then the door bursted open.
"D.O!" Leah ran to DO and hugged him and I tried to look away. She made eye contact with me and glared as she turned towards the teacher.
"What happened is Kim Woo Bin told a bunch of kids to hit Kyung Soo and all he did was try to defend himself." She said.
"Then it's settled. Woo Bin you have detention every day for the next two weeks after school."
"I don't care. I'm leaving now." I said as I pushed past DO and opened the door.
It was dark out and I ran to the trash can and kicked it over.
"AISH!" I yelled. What have I gotten myself into??

-D.O-
  I glared at Woo Bin who was mopping the floor. JB and Kai were cleaning the windows with me.
"We wouldn't have been here if it weren't for you." I said loud enough for Woo Bin to hear.
Woo Bin threw the mop on the floor. "Yah. You think I want to be here? You guys only have to be here for one day. I have to do this for two weeks. Two weeks!"
"Well maybe you shouldn't have been such a jerk." JB said.
"Yah, who even are you?" Woo Bin asked him.
JB looked at him in shock. "Me? Who am i? Who are you??"
"Aish Chincha." Kai sprayed his water bottle in JB's face. "Be quiet."
"Yah! You think I'm a dog?" JB asked.
Kai sprayed some water in JB's face again. "Of course not."
I smiled a little and both of them looked at me.
"You're Kyung Soo aren't you?" Kai asked.
I nodded. "But you can call me D.O."
"Well you probably already know me, but my name is Kai. Now that you're not involved with Krystal and we're kind of on the same team, Let's be good friends, arasso?" Kai smiled and I nodded .
JB raised his hand. "Me too!"
"AISH." Woo Bin picked up his mop from the floor. "I just want to go home."
Kai checked his watch. "Oh! JB, D.O! Our time is up. We can go."
"Woo!" JB fistpumped in the air and gave his spray bottle to Woo Bin. I also threw mine to him and he glared at me. I watched Kai as he sprayed Woo Bins face before handing him the bottle.
"Mianhe." Kai apologized, but I couldn't tell if he was being sarcastic or not. "I didn't see you there."
Okay, he was being sarcastic. All three of us walked out of the school together.
"So. D.O." JB turned to me. "What's your story?"
"What are you talking about?" I asked
"With you and Woo Bin. And Leah." Kai answered.
"It's complicated." I mumbled.
"Yah, we know. The school is still against you, but we're on your side. If we see someone hurting any of you... They're going to regret it's." JBsaid.

-Leah-
"AISH." I said and looked through my backpack. "AISH jinjja!"
"What?" Kara looked up from her homework.
"I left my binder in Teacher Park's office." I told Her. "My homework is in there and I need to finish it before tomorrow! Otherwise I'll get detention.... I have to go back." I grabbed my jacket.
"Yah, you can't go back by yourself. Remember what happened last time?" Kara asked.
"That's because it was late." I said. "The sun is still out. I'll be back quickly. The school isn't that far anyway. I'll be back!" I put on my jacket and was about to go outside when I was stopped by Jenny.
"Where are you going!" She asked.
"I left something at school. I'm going to go pick it up." I told her.
Jenny hesitated then nodded. "Arasso. But come back quickly!"
I nodded and ran outside. I ran to the school which was quite empty.
I went inside and saw Woo Bin mopping the floors.
He looked up when he saw me, but I ignored him and ran to Teacher Park's office and knocked on the door.
"ARASSO, arasso I'm coming." The door opened and Teacher pArk was there holding my binder.
"How did you know I..." I started but he cut me off.
"I have super powers." He said in a whisper.
I raised an eyebrow with a confused look. "W-what?"
"Just kidding haha. You should've seen the look on your face. Here. Get home before it gets late. Unless you're planning on staying for study hall."
I laughed awkwardly and took my binder from him. "No, my sister wants me home." .
"ARASSO then. See you tomorrow." He closed his office door.
Super powers? I shook my head and walked out the door ignoring woo bin.
I went outside and turned the corner of the school to my house when I was suddenly crowded by a group of kids.
"well look who it is." One of them smirked.
I noticed Tiffany who said, "it's the wench!"
Everyone laughed. I noticed at all of them were holding something.
"Excuse me, I have to get home!" I tried to push through the crowd but they wouldn't let me through. I turned around to go in the opposite direction but I was blocked as well.
"Now!" Jessica announced.
All of them there eggs at me at once. They laughed a when they were done and I stood there frozen in place. Some more eggs were thrown at me after that and a girl threw a bucket of water on top of me.
They laughed and pointed. I felt myself starting to tear up as I ran back home.

-Kara-
"Leah!" The doorbell rang and I ran to the door to open it.
I screamed when I saw Leah covered in eggs and tears.
When she saw me she started bursting into tears.
"Who did this?" I asked as I pulled her into a hug.
"Krystal." She cried.
"Jenny!" I called and Jenny ran from her room and screamed when she saw Leah
"AHHH! OUTTOKE!?" It looked like Jenny was about to cry.
"You clean her up I need to go see a friend."
"Mwo? No! No ones going anywhere!" I ran out of the house before Jenny could say anything else. I pulled out my phone and called JB. The phone rang a few times before he answered.
"What's up babe?"
Trying to disregard his comment I asked, "Yah! JB. Can you pick me up?"
"Mwo? For what?" He asked.
"Ugh fine I'll just ask Kai then." I was about to hang up before he yelled.
"ANDWAE! I'm coming!" JB hung up.
***
-JB-
"So what is the reason for driving to the supermarket?" I asked as we pulled in to the supermarkets parking lot.
"We're tee-peeing Krystal's house." Kara smiled as she got out of the car.
Even though it was kind of an evil grin, her smile was so contagious, I found myself cheesing.
"AISH it's cold." Kara shivered. She was only wearing her shirt and some leggings.
I pulled off my scarf and jacket and held it in her direction.
"No don't. It's ok." She mumbled.
"MICHUSO? It could be snowing and you're in T shirt."
"I ran out the house super fast..." She held her head down.
I took the scarf and wrapped it around her neck.
"Yah. I can do this." She said.
"Ani. I want to." I said as I put the jacket on her and she looked at me in the eyes. Her nose and cheeks were red from the cold so I poked her nose.
She furrowed her brows and it took me all of my strength to not hug her right then and there for behind so damn adorable.
"Kaja." I held my arm out to her and she slipped her arm through mine.

We ended up buying two dozen rolls of toilet paper and silly string and eggs. After I looked for Krystal's address, we drove to her house and got out of my car super quietly. All the lights were off in her house so everyone must've been asleep.
"I'm so excited!" Kara giggled as we tiptoed towards Krystal's house. I took a roll of toilet paper and began throwing it back and forth on a tree in front of her house. Kara laughed as she took a roll too and began throwing it around. We got through the two dozen rolls pretty fast and Crystals house looked like a mummy. Trying not to make much noise, we cracked the eggs on the grass and smeared the yolk on the windows. With the silly string, we wrote on her driveway : WENCH. Kara was laughing so hard she fell to floor holding her stomach.
Right when we finished, the lights of Krystal's neighbor's house turned on. Kara sat up quickly.
"OMO." She whispered. I took her by the waist and we fell behind the bush, her on top of me. The neighbor's door opened and a dog ran out, did its business and ran back inside. The owner was an old man who was half asleep and didn't even notice the mess we made as he shut the door and went back inside. Kara giggled until she realized where she was lying. Her eyes widened in shock as she looked at me.
"Y-YAH." She whispered, "what are you doing under me?"
I laughed. "Shouldn't I be asking why you're on top of me?"
"I-I-." She began as she scrambled up and brushed the dirt off her clothes.
"Don't worry Kara. I won't tell Kai." I smiled sheepishly as I walked back towards the car.
"Yah!" She called as I sat back in my car.
She climbed into the passengers seat.
"Why would I care if you told Kai?" She mumbled.
"Aren't you guys like a thing?" I asked as I began driving away.
"Ani... Who said that?" She looked down.
"So you're saying I still have a chance?" I grinned.
"Yeah but- WAIT. No! No one has a chance. I'm not for sale." She crossed her arms as her face turned red.
"I know. I know" I said as I Pinched her cheeks.

-Leah-
"Do you want tea? Or hot cocoa?" Jenny was bombarding me with questions as I lay in bed wrapped in twelve blankets.
"Yah. I'm fine." I said. "Thank you Jenny. You're the best sister ever"
"Aniyo. No I'm not." She frowned.
"Don't say that. None of this is your fault." I replied.
"Then why do I feel guilty?"
"Because you're the adult. That's what you guys tend to do." I smiled. Just then the doorbell rang.
"It must be Kara." I smiled again.
"I'm gonna kill that girl!" Jenny jumped from my bed and stormed to the door.
"Kara!" She yelled as she opened the door.
But Kara was not alone. Standing next to her was JB and Kyung Soo.
"Omo. Ya-yah! You left without my permission to go get boys!?" Jenny yelled as Kara gave her a hug.
"I love you Jenny." She laughed.
"Who are you?" Jenny asked JB.
"JB. I'm a friend of Karas." He nodded.
"Ah. I know you though." Jenny pointed to D.O. "You're much cuter when you're not bloody and beaten up."
"LEAH!" Kara called from the living room. Her, JB, and Kyung Soo all came into my room. Jennt walked to the kitchen probably to make some hot cocoa.
Kara gave me a hug. "How are you feeling?" She asked.
"Better. I'm just cold." I said.
"That water they threw on you was ice cold." Kara nodded.
"Leah." Kyung Soo knelt on the ground next to the bed.
"Yah, get up." I smiled.
"I'm so sorry. I said I was going to be there for you but I failed. This is all my fault."
"No it's not. Stop saying that." I put a hand on his hair.
"Chankaman." JB stopped us, "are you guys dating?" He asked.
"I guess you could call it that." Kyung Soo laughed.
"AISH. Kara! You won't even date me yet what the heck." JB crossed his arms. and pouted.
"Hey you save me from a group of rapist men and I'll marry you." Kara pointed to him.
"Done deal." JB slapped his hands.
we all laughed. The way Kara and JB looked at each other was way different from the way Kara looked at Kai. Kai looked at Kara as a flower. Like she could never get hurt while JB looked at her as his stem. Like he wouldn't be able to go on a day without Kara by his side. I smiled at the sight of them.

***
The next day at school was horrible. All the students were pointing at me but at least kyung Soo never left my side once. After school I walked towards the auditorium waiting for Kara to come out from visiting Kai. I sat down on a bench until I saw him.

-Kim Woo Bin-   
"Leah! Chakanman!" I said when she started to walk away.
"Why?" Leah turned around and looked at me. "Why should i wait for you?"
"I was going to help you yesterday but..." I started.
Leah interrupted me.. "But what? Why don't you help me or anyone when you see them getting hurt? Is it because you find it amusing? Why do you just watch? Why?"
"Because... I don't know." I answered feeling guilty.
"Exactly. I don't know why you want me to wait for you." Leah walked away.
"Because I like you." I muttered quietly to  myself. "And because I know I can never be with you. Because you'll never look at me the same way you look at him. Because... I want you to be mine."
***
I was on my way home when I saw a boy getting beat up by four boys that went to our school. I looked around, but there was nobody else in the area/ Why do you just watch? Aish.
"YAH!" I walked towards the group of boys and pushed them away from the victim. "Hajima."
One of them smirked and looked at me. "Who are you to tell us to stop?"
"Yah... that's Kim Woo Bin!" One of his friends whispered nervously.
"Yes, I'm Kim Woo Bin. Remember this face." I lifted the boy on the ground up. He looked scared and I made him stand behind me.  "But you won't have a problem. My face is hard to forget."
"Wow. You're really self-centered aren't you?" Another one asked.
"I'm not self-centered. I'm just a very truthful person." I smiled.
"Move out of the way. We're older than you. And we still have some unfinished business with Junior." One of them said.
I glanced at Junior who was looking at the ground. "You think you'd be more mature if you were older. Don't you have exams coming up soon?"
"YAH! Get lost will you! We're not scared of you!"
"Well, that's good because neither am I." I crossed my arms. "You have to go through me first."
One of the boys, who seemed to be the leader of the group, shrugged. "Arasso." He punched me before I even had the chance to defend myself. I touched my lip and saw that it started to  bleed. Then each one of them started to hit me and for some reason I felt too weak to fight back. They kept hitting me until I fell to the ground. 
"We beat Kim Woo Bin!" The shortest one said.
The leader kicked me one last time before finishing. "We'll deal with you tomorrow." He told Junior and they all walked away.
Junior knelt down beside me and helped me sit up. "Are you okay?"
"Aish chincha." I pushed him away from me. "Why did you just stand there and watch instead of helping?" I froze after I said that. Aish.
"Mianhe sunbae." Junior looked down at the ground.
"It's okay." I said.
"Thank you for helping me." Junior said.
"Why did they hurt you?" I asked.
Junior shrugged. "Maybe they just find it amusing. Maybe they just like seeing me get hurt."
"Mwo?" I looked at Junior who had just repeated what Leah said to me.
"Ani. It's nothing." Junior helped me up from the ground. "Can you make it back home? You looked messed up."
"Wow thanks." I sighed. "I can get home. You go to Seoul HIgh, right?"
Junior nodded.
"If any of those guys bother you again then let me know. Arasso?" I patted him on the shoulder. See you around."
I started to walk in the opposite direction when I heard Junior say, "Gumawo!"
I don't know why, but I started to smile.

-Leah-
"WHO DID IT! WHO WAS IT?!" Krystal, who's face was full of rage, stormed into the classroom, the next day at school.
"What happened?" Kang Min Hyuk asked.
"Somebody in this room egged my house." Krystal said.
"How do you know it was somebody from this school?" Kara asked.
JB nodded. "Yeah, it could've been one of your neighbors."
Krystal looked at me, and her eyes widened. "It was you."
"What happened?" Kim Woo Bin walked inside of the classroom and I noticed that his face was bruised.
"My house was egged!" Krystal said.
"Good." Woo Bin sat down in his seat.
Krystal looked at me again. "It was you, wasn't it?" She repeated.
"No." I said calmly.
"LIAR!" Krystal angrily walked towards me. "Stop lying! WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO RUIN MY LIFE!"
"It wasn't me." I repeated.
"Leave her alone Krystal." Kara said.
Krystal pointed at me. "You egged my house because you were egged after school. Right? That's it, isn't it? See, everybody this is Leah Parker. Not as innocent as you all think she is. First, she steals somebody's boyfriend then---."
"I didn't steal your boyfriend. He broke up with you because he couldn't handle your psychoness anymore." I said starting to feel confident. I'm not going to let Krystal talk to me like that over something I didn't even do. "Maybe if you acted like a normal person---."
Suddenly, Krystal slapped me which caused everyone to gasp.
"YAH!" Kara pushed Krystal away from me. She kicked her in the leg and rolled her sleeves up. "MICHUSO?! DO YOU NOT REALIZE WHAT YOU JUST DID?!"yelled Krystal. Kara grabbed Krystal's hair and began pulling but JB pulled her away by her waist.
"Let me go! This witch just touched my cousin!"
"She deserves it!" Krystal cried.
"It wasn't Leah it was---." Kara started.
Woo Bin stood up. "Me. I was getting tired of you ordering me around so I did to show you I'm not your slave anymore. I'm done with you Krystal."
"Y-Yah! Do you know how angry my parents are?" Krystal asked. "Once they find out that you did this...."
"Mianhe, but now you know that not everyone likes you." Woo Bin walked towards me. "And you had no right to hit her. No matter what the circumstances were. Next time you touch her I will kill you. I don't care that you're a girl." He pointed to Krystal. "Yah! But I got hit too!"
Krystal was looking at Woo Bin in shock then left the room crying.
"Gumawo." I said quietly.
Woo Bin ignored me and sat back down on his seat.
"Leah I'm so sorry." Kara said.
JB nodded. "Me too. Next time, we'll come to you first with our crazy ideas of revenge."
"Ani. I'm glad you guys did it." I smiled.
"Yah! JB! why didn't you let me have at her?" Kara punched JBs chest.
"I would not let anyone lay a finger on that pretty face of yours." He pinched Karas cheek as she furrowed her brows. "But honestly that was hot. Where did you learn to fight like that?"
"Kara is the strongest chick you'll ever come across. You're looking at national track star and a star at basically every other sport."
Kara flipped her hair jokingly.

-Kara-
"Hey where are you going?" I turned around and saw JB coming down the hall.
"I'm going to go hang out with Kai." I said.
"Oh..okay." JB said hesitantly.
"I'll see you." I waved as he waved back.

I met up with Kai at the local coffee shop. He was sitting in a table for two.
I sat down across from him.
"Hey." I smiled.
"Hey beautiful." He flashed his perfect set of teeth. I felt myself blush so I looked down.
I ordered hot cocoa and a brownie as did Kai.
Kai and I have been hanging out almost every other day recently. Whether it be from the piano lessons he was giving me or just to go out, we'd meet up.
After our food came I began eating my brownie.
"You-". Kai pointed to my lip.
"Mwo?" I asked.
"Here." Kai leaned over and wiped chocolate from my upper lip.
"Thanks.." I said.
"No problem." He replied.
"Kara." He began.
"What's up?" I asked.
" I've been wanting to ask you something." He said.
"What?"
Right then my phone rang. It was a text from Leah telling me get home before late because Jenny was going to get mad.
Kai never really got a chance to finish what he was going to ask me but I told him to tell me next time. Before I got into my car Kai came over to me and tucked a lock of hair behind my ear.
"Text me when you get home safe." He smiled at me.
I nodded.

***
The next day at school, Krystal didn't come so Leah was quite relieved. JB and I ran the track together first period even though it was freezing. During lunch, I went to the auditorium to eat lunch with Kai. I opened the door to the auditorium and saw Kai on the stage sitting with the piano.
I walked in and up to the stage and sat next to him.
Kai kept playing the song he was playing, so I just listened along. I recognized the song as he began playing. It was "has to be you" by yesung. It was from one of my favorite dramas. I started singing along as he played the song in sync.
Once he finished he turned around and looked at me.
"Kara." He said.
I just stared at him.
"Yesterday I didn't get to finish what I was asking you." He whispered.
"Ok so finish now." I said.
"I like you a lot and I think you know that." He said.
"I-I." I stuttered.
-JB-
She left her bag with me and went off with Kai. Wow. I opened the auditorium doors slowly and saw the two of them on stage. They didn't see me as I slipped in and hid behind a seat.
"I like you a lot and I think you know that." Kai said.
Kara began stuttering.
"I want you to be my girlfriend." Said Kai. Karas eyes widened in shock. I felt my heart fall to my chest as I grabbed a hold of the chair in front of me to gather myself.
"I don't know what to say." She said.
"Do you not like me back?" Asked Kai.
"I-I no.. I do." She mumbled.
Kai smiled as he took Karas face into his hands slowly and kissed her forehead I felt myself tense up and anger burning up inside of me as I bolted out of the auditorium.
I ran to the locker rooms as fast as I could. There was no one in there as I began kicking the lockers and screaming.
"AISH!" I yelled as I fell to the ground and began pulling at my hair.

***
I started the showers and began letting the cold water hit my body. I stopped and sat on the floor as I bursted into the tears.
"ANDWAE!" I yelled as I kept hitting the ground, through tears. "Andwae."
