“Soobin! Why are you leaving me alone? Soobin don’t you—“

Soobin wakes up with his cold sweats and a nightmare. He quickly opens the window to let the fresh air went in. He breathes in and out to calm himself then he gets up from his bed to start his day at school.

Choi Soobin did what Beomgyu and Yeonjun said to him. He went to school like no one can see him and just study peacefully. Sometimes the bullies, Chul and Taemin, tease him but he just lets them so that it won’t cause any more trouble.

“Choi Soobin, does anyone already told you that you look like a doll? So beautiful.”

Not until Park Hansol arrived at their school. His classmate that went for a month detention after harassing one of the female students. Park Hansol is the only rival of Yeonjun in fighting.

“Y-yes? Ah well, no?”

Hansol smiles and move closer to Soobin. Their classmates are just looking at them in silence. Beomgyu at Soobin’s back is tensed and Yeonjun at the back row is just reading a stupid book, not giving a damn about what’s happening.

“Then now you know, okay? See you around, Doll,” Hansol said before leaving the clueless Soobin alone and left the room.

And that scenario caused the students to create gossips and their face is evidently in disappointment. After that a continues sound of popping message sound has been heard inside the room.

“H-hey look,” Beomgyu poked Soobin’s arm with his elbow and showed his screen. “This is the whole school’s chatroom and someone uploaded your picture with Hansol saying you’re he’s new past time,” Beomgyu stated. “S-should I add you in here?”

Soobin just sighs and his shoulders fall down. He didn’t expect things to turn out like this. He just looked down and started playing with his fingers while Beomgyu continued to say encouraging words to him.

“Where’s my ₩5000?” Chul asked Taemin while with his open hand.

“Tsk!” Taemin hissed and pulled a bill then put on the other’s hand. “I thought he’s not going to like Trashbin at all,” Taemin commented and sighs.

“Hey, I already knew the moment I saw him. Just look at Trashbin, perfectly Hansol’s type HAHAH! Thanks for this ₩5000 by the way,” Chul laughs and wave the money.

Yeonjun casually turn the next page of the book he’s reading while listening to everyone’s murmurs. He paused from reading another word and move his gaze on Soobin who’s his seatmate is busy making him feel fine.

“Chul, Taemin,” Yeonjun called the two.

“Yes boss?”

“Be ready, we’re going to send Park Hansol back to hell.”

“W-who is Park Hansol?” Soobin asked and they decided to eat lunch outside the cafeteria because there are so much eyes looking at him.

“Yeonjun’s rival. They really hate each other and they always cause trouble. Hansol always have this someone he can play with can be a girl or a boy. He’s going to treat that person like his and then dumped when he find a new one,” Beomgyu explained and sips on his yogurt.

“T-then why me?”

Beomgyu shrugged his shoulder and sadly looked at Soobin. “I don’t know Soob, I don’t really know. Since he’s crazy and all and only Yeonjun can really smack him down. When Hansol harassed the girl last time, it was Yeonjun who beat him to death,” Beomgyu explained.

“H-he harassed!? T-then it could happen to me too!?” Soobin shouted out of fear and he started trembling.

When Beomgyu noticed that Soobin’s uncontrollably shaking, he held both of his hand. “Hey! Hey! Look at me Choi Soobin. It’s fine, nothing bad will happen to you. Just avoid him everytime you see him and don’t get in his way—“

“It doesn’t make sense! He’ll be the one going after me everytime even if I ignore him! B-Beomgyu what should I do? S-should I ask help for Yeonjun too?” Soobin asked.

Beomgyu pursed his lips. “Y-Yeonjun… Who are you to Yeonjun that he will save you?”

“H-huh? But the other student…”

“He saved him because it was Hueningkai’s friend. Hueningkai probably asked Yeonjun to do it and that’s it but if it’s somebody else, I don’t think he will do it. I-I’m sorry, Soobin,” Beomgyu replied.

“N-no, no! No! What should I do?” Soobin cried and Beomgyu automatically hugs his friend.

“I-I’ll be with you, Soobin. It’s fine. I’ll help you, okay? We’ll report it to the teachers too. Don’t worry, okay?” Beomgyu assured the other.

Soobin grips on Beomgyu’s uniform. “N-no, I don’t want you to get involve with me. I-I’ll just handle it with my own,” Soobin rejected.

Beomgyu immediately pushed Soobin that made a gap between them. “Huh!? Are you crazy? No dude! I can’t let it happen! Y-you’re my friend now,” Beomgyu replied.

Soobin just smiled. “I’ll be fine. Just stay still, I’ll handle it.”

Beomgyu couldn’t protest anymore to Soobin but he’ll still stay beside him and will take an action if he needed. These just become friend recently and Beomgyu being a loner before Soobin came decided to protect him as much as he can.

Soobin didn’t know the next week of his life in his new school will be a whole chaos because of Hansol liking him. Hansol buys him milk drink, always initiate to eat lunch with him and even if Soobin will turn him down, he’ll still agree so it won’t cause any trouble. Good thing is Hansol’s allowing Beomgyu to tag along with them.

“So why did you transfer in here?” Hansol asked while putting some vegetables on Soobin’s tray.

Soobin just look at what he’s doing and then pursed his lips because he can’t stop him. “My mom got a new work near here so we moved out,” Soobin casually replied. “T-thank you,” he added after Hansol is done doing his thing.

“Eat a lot, doll,” Hansol replied and smiles and Soobin just nod. “Argh! Why is he glaring at me?” Hansol muttered while looking at Soobin’s back.

“W-who?” Soobin turns his head and saw Yeonjun looked away and eats.

“I hope they won’t fight,” Beomgyu whispered.

“I really want to punch him—“ Hansol was about to stand up when Soobin held his arm.

“S-sit down, Hansol. Don’t mind him, just eat,” Soobin stopped him and smiles while deep inside he’s already shaking in fear.

“Okay! I’ll let it slide because you’re cute. Eat a lot too,” Hnasol replied and sit again to continue eating.

“Damn, I thought world war III will break out just now,” Beomgyu whispered again and drink his water.

“Doll, let’s have a date tomorrow,” Hansol suddenly invited Soobin.

Beomgyu who’s drinking his water suddenly coughing and Soobin immediately look for a tissue to help Beomgyu who’s splatting water from his mouth and then turns to Hansol.

“W-what again? Date? B-but we have class tomorrow,” Soobin replied.

“You don’t want to?” Hansol’s voice suddenly went lower and his eyes went sharp.

“I-it’s not that I don’t like but we have class,” Soobin reasoned.

“So you don’t like?” Hansol pressed.

“N-no— um, I wanted to but—“

“If you want to then just come,” Hansol replied still looking sharply at Soobin.

“Y-yes, sure, why not? C-class doesn’t really matter,” Soobin quickly replied and he saw Hansol’s eyes went sweet again.

Beomgyu gasps after hearing it and he shook his head in disappointment but he knows Soobin doesn’t have any choice too.

“Okay that’s set! See you tomorrow, Doll! I’m going out for a smoke,” Hansol said before leaving the two.

“Hey! Why— argh! Nevermind,” Beomgyu was about to scold his friend but he already know the situation. “What will you do now? Should I come with you?”

“I don’t think he will allow you,” Soobin replied and sighs. “What am I entering?” Soobin commented and just looks down.

“Don’t come then, simple,” Beomgyu suggested.

“What if he’ll get mad at me and do worst? For now he’s acting kind but I know sooner or later if I’ll make him mad, I’ll be in a big trouble,” Soobin stated and leans on the chair. “Argh! What I’m supposed to do!?”

He closes his eyes in frustration and when he opens it he saw Yeonjun looking at him and pulled his eyes right away.

“What the hell is wrong with him? He told me not to look at him,” Soobin whispered.

“Who? Are you getting crazy now?” Beomgyu asked him.

“I don’t know! Let’s just go back to class.”

Apparently, their next subject teacher has a meeting to attend so the class is having some activity regarding with the lesson. Soobin felt that he needs to take a piss so he left the room first but he bumped onto someone.

“Look at where you are going, dumbass,” Yeonjun whispered as their eyes meet.

Soobin walks away but he remembered something. “Y-Yeonjun,” Soobin called him and Yeonjun turns his head. “P-Park Hansol will—“

Soobin wasn’t able to continue what he’s about to say when he saw Yeonjun getting punched in the face by Hansol. Their classmates turn to see and open their camera to record what’s happening.

That hit made Yeonjun steps backwards and when he stops he glared at Hansol who’s standing beside Soobin. “What did you just do?” Yeonjun asked.

“You’re clearly hitting with my doll here,” Hansol replied and pointed at Soobin.

“N-no, it’s not like that—“

“Shut your mouth,” Hansol cuts him off and looked at Yeonjun. “Why? Are you jealous or something?”

“Suck him off, I don’t fucking care,” Yeonjun replied and turn around to show how much he doesn’t care about the allegation.

“How dare you turn your back at me Choi Yeonjun!?” Hansol yelled and approached Yeonjun with another punch but Soobin pulled him with all his might. “Let go of me, bitch!” Hansol raved and pushed Soobin.

“Hansol listen to me!” Soobin shouted and pulled him again away from Yeonjun who’s already sitting at his chair ready to read his stupid book.

“Shut up!” Hansol shouted again and slapped Soobin’s face that made everyone shock.

Yeonjun stopped from opening his book when he heard that loud sound of a hand hitting someone’s face but he didn’t turn to see the real thing.

“Come here! You slut! If that bastard isn’t hitting on you then maybe it’s you. Come here!” Hansol dragged Soobin out of the room.

That’s when Yeonjun look sideways and he saw Soobin’s eyes trying to communicate with him, but he just blankly stares at him until the two is gone.

“Soobin! Choi Soobin!” Beomgyu shouted and run towards the teacher’s office to call for help.

“He’s dead,” Chul commented, sucking his lollipop. “I’ll bet ₩10,000 that he’s dead,” he added.

“₩11,000 that he won’t,” Taemin bets. “How about you Yeonjun?”

“₩20,000 he’ll get slapped hard.”
