Chapter 17 [1/2]
"Thank goodness Mrs. Bae agreed with this change, But I must tellMark." Kei looked up from the music sheet book in her hands.She stopped as she saw the president of School of Theater. But the girl looked angry, Curiously she followed the president girl toward Principle Kahi office.She stood in front of the slightly ajar door. It seemed Krystal was too angry to even bother closing the door.She wondered what the usually calm girl angry.
"Ms. Jung what can I help you?"
Kei leaned closer as she heard Principal's Kahi voice.
"I know about them, those girls."
'Girls?' Kei knitted her brows. There was a pregnant pause before she heard Principal's Kahi voice.
"I heard you say girls. Will you explain which girls that make you come to meet me at this hour?"
"Those three new boys, they are girls, aren't they?"
Kei was surprised to hear the statement. 'Did she mean Haru and her friends are girl?' She doubted her ear and leaned closer but she couldn't hear anything. 'So, they are girls. Haru is a girl' She looked up at the realization. 'Wait, he's dating Mina. Did Mina know about Haru is a girl?'
Sound of footsteps approaching told her that Krystal was walking toward door. She quickly stepped back and kept silent as Krystal came out from the room. The president girl just stood momentarily, looked like was thinking.
"I won't let you win this time Mina."
Kei watched as the girl walked toward stairs still looked upset. "Mina,"
She then left Principal Kahi office. The thought of Mina dating a boy-disguised girl kept her mind that she almost bumped into someone at corner.
"Kei, I'm sorry."
Kei put smile on face. "Haru, hey. Looks like we always bump into each other." Her eyes trailed over Haru's face, wondering why she never realized it before. Haru mumbled something, taking his leave. She turned around, folding arms before chest, staring at the apparently girl in boy clothes. Small smile formed on her lips.

"Don't worry, I will keep it secret. But, I want a favor as the return."
Mina stared at the girl before her for moment before letting out a chuckle and then laughing. "You think you can threaten me?" she asked. She crossed her arms, laughing louder. The girl looked back at her. "Go ahead, if you want to expose that," she said, giving a nod with head toward the picture of her and Sana dressed in suits in the girl's hand.
"But let me tell you something first," Mina added. "I never give even the slightest mind what people think about me. Thanks for the kind concern, but I don't care about my reputation." She gave smirk and was about to leave but a smile on the girl's lips stopped her.
"As expected. I know you'd say that," Kei said. "Oh my, please forgive me."
Mina's brows furrowed deeper when Kei raised another hand. It really surprised her to see her picture with Haru but the supposed to be boy had long hair. Their picture at rooftop.
"I'm really sorry, I thought to show this picture but mistake it," Kei said. She smirked as Mina clenched her jaw. "I believe you'd pay no mind about your reputation, but how about her? I wonder what will happen to her and her friends if they are found out...as girls."
Mina gripped the phone in her hand. "What do you want?" She wanted to wipe the vicious smirk on the girl's face but held herself.
"It's simple, I want you to leave her," Kei said. She took a step closer toward the student representative, looking into her eyes. "I will keep this secret," she said. She could feel the anger radiating from those deep brown eyes. "And he can still study here. Your choice, Miss Myoui." She gave small smile. "Oh, you can have this, I have plenty."
Mina felt paper in her hand. She scrunched the paper with her trembled fist as Kei smirked before leaving her. She sucked in sharp breath. After calmed her anger down she glanced toward dining room.
After a while, Momo walked out from dining room. She put handkerchief in her jacket pocket, zipping jacket up.
"It's getting chilly."
It turned chilly at night as fall approached.
She looked around over people, trying to find her girlfriend. "Where's Mina?" She went to another side of dining room but couldn't find the girl. "Where is she?" She pulled her phone out, dialing Mina's number. She gave a wave when she noticed basketball team heading dorm. Mina didn't pick up. She tried again but it got connected to voice mail. "She has urgent duty?" She decided to send a message. After sending the message she headed dorm.
-
Momo was in classroom, taking music class. But she couldn't focus. After festival Mina didn't call back, neither reply her message. Three days had passed and it made her worried for Mina would always return her call even if she was busy. She wanted to visit Mina's office but afraid would meet Krystal. 'is she sick?' She straightened her back at the thought. She had to see Mina. However, before she could reach her phone something hard landed on her head.
"Ouch!"
"Mr. Hirai, attention to class please."
"I'm sorry, Miss." Momo bowed apologetically. Mrs. Bae cocked head slightly before continuing reading textbook. She rubbed her poor head.
"Daydreaming in class, really?"
Momo threw her eraser toward Jeongyeon, but quickly looked down at her textbook when Mrs. Bae turned around. After making mental note to visit president council office, she tried to focus on class.
As soon as Mrs. Bae left classroom Momo rose from her chair, heading toward door. She rolled her eyes while passing corridor filled with girls. After annual festival their name, as SF3, skyrocketed again. They even got fans club now -according to Jeongyeon. She jogged into main building. She halted to give bow when other teachers walked past her before jogging up. She released a breath, standing on stairs top. The office door was closed. Usually it was open during lunch break. She approached the door, lifting a hand to knock.
When the fifth knock was still replied with silence, she decided to leave. Climbing down stairs she stared at her phone. Still nothing came from her girlfriend.
"Mina, where are you?"
She then headed dining room.
-
The final bell rang and Mrs. Bae left classroom.
Tzuyu pushed textbook and notebook into her bag. "You guys wanna come with me?"
"Where, where, where? Gym? I want to play three on three."
"Library," Tzuyu replied Jeongyeon.
Jeongyeon sat back on her chair, disappointed.
"We have homework for tomorrow, remember?" Tzuyu said and turned to Momo. "What about you, Haru?" Momo glanced and gave small nod. "What's up with your gloomy face today?"
"Missing his girlfriend," Jeongyeon said and moved to hide behind Nayeon. "Someone's grumpy today," she teased but it got her a slap on arm from Nayeon. "Just kidding!"
"Let's go." Nayeon stood up, taking her bag. "What?" she asked as Kyungwan walked beside her. "You forget your book again?"
"I bring my book today," Jeongyeon said proudly and took the girl's shoulder as they descended stairs. She sent wave and bright smile toward other girls, their fans. "Hi, there," she said to them and looked back at Nayeon. "Just thinking if you'll let me see your practice sometimes. I want to see it, is it okay?"
Nayeon stopped and pushed his arm off. "No," she said. Girls were now glancing and waving toward them -excluding her. She started to walk, leaving the famous idol boys behind.
"What's wrong with her?" Jeongyeon tilted head in confusion. She jogged after Nayeon. "Hey! Nayeon, wait for me. I have candy, melon candy."
"I have allergy to melon."
"I have peach too," Jeongyeon added. She took out candies from her pants pocket. "And strawberry, and what is it? Oh blueberry. Wanna try?"
Nayeon held gaze ahead. "I don't eat candies."
"Why? It's delicious. You should try blueberry, it really tastes good."
"I have allergy," Nayeon said.
"Yes, melon I get it, or you have fruit allergy? Wait, my card, where is it?" Jeongyeon took out her student card. She inserted the card into library gate machine, following after the others.
"Nayeon?"
Nayeon sighed. "Yes, I have allergy, to you."
"That's funny one," Jeongyeon said and started to laugh but quickly cleared her throat when she noticed a librarian. "Sorry." She sent an apologetic smile before walking inside. "Nayeon, wait!"
Momo put bag over table and told Tzuyu she would go to restroom. Actually she wanted to call Mina. Walking toward man's restroom she pulled phone out from her uniform jacket pocket.
"Haru!"
Momo stopped when she heard someone calling her boy name. It was Kei.
"Oh Kei," she greeted.
"How are you? I didn't see you after festival."
"I'm doing well, thank you. You know, class and stuff," Momo said. "I must go." She tilted head toward restroom.
"Okay, see you around. And Haru," Kei said to stop Haru.
"Yes?"
"You think we can have lunch together tomorrow?"
"I'm sorry," Momo replied, putting both hands up to apologize. "I can't."
"Oh, it's alright. Have a nice day, Haru."
Momo nodded and walked toward restroom. The last time she had lunch with Kei her girlfriend ignored her. From now on she would stay away from girls, she thought.
