"Long time no see punk".

Tae ho just looked at him. He wanted to punch his face again. They were once close friends. But then...

"Don't ever talk to me" said Tae ho as he bumped into Beomgyu's shoulder.

Beomgyu held him back.

"That's not how to greet you know" he said smirking.

Tae ho lost his cool and punched him across the face. Gaeun was standing afar watching. She had taken a baseball bat to beat Tae ho up, she stopped to watch them.

"How's your mom" said Beomgyu wiping blood off his mouth.

Tae ho ran his hands down his blonde hair.

"What do you care,  I hope you're happy. You snitch...why did you follow me here anyways" he spat.

"I didn't follow you, unfortunately we once shared the same dream".

Beomgyu bumped harshly into Tae ho's shoulders and punched his face.

"I was thinking you grew up, you're still a weak kid under his parents power" Beomgyu left after saying this.

Tae ho touched his now bruised cheek. He hated Beomgyu. He still does. He stood up and dusted his clothes.

Gaeun was still peeking. She felt bad for the punch on that Bus boy's face. They had gone. She was looking and didn't see anyone.

"Where did that idiot go"?

Someone harshly turned her towards himself, making her hit her face on a rocky chest. Her face was flushed with blood.

"Wh-who are you"? she asked as she moved away.

"It's wrong to eavesdrop pest".

Gaeun now looked up. A deadly mistake. It was him that Beomgyu guy. She frowned her face but then her eyes went to his lips...so pink and plump.

"Hey, hey, pest girl" snapped Beomgyu.

Gaeun now snapped out of her gaze.

"Stop calling me a pest, and also...are you okay"?

Beomgyu was a bit confused, he thought she would insult him so he looked into her eyes as if choking her.

"Why are you staring at me like that" she said moving backwards.

"Don't tell me, you've fallen for me already"?

Gaeun was now feeling hot, she took a step backwards but stepped on her own shoelace.

"Ahh"!

She was expecting to hit her butt hard on the ground but a pair of hands held her, a bit too close cause their faces were inches away from touching.

She looked into his eyes and then saw the bruise on his lips... unconsciously she slowly touched it, with care in her eyes she examined it.

"Does it hurt much" she said.

Beomgyu dropped her at that very second.

"Owuch, that wasn't nice you idiot" she yelled.

With a sigh he said " that's more like you".

"Yah!!".

Beomgyu just pulled on his hoodie, leaving Gaeun there. She was almost about to spark fires in his heart just by that soft touch...that was why he dropped her.

****

"Bastard!"

Jieun was in the sick bay, she kept calling him a bastard.

"Watch your words student" said the school nurse.

Ms A'Fei, she was transferred to Bighit Academy to work as a school nurse. She was just in her 20's. So the students treated her like a lady, some tried flirting and other called her an older sister.

"Eonni, look at my sore arms, how do I write notes" she whined.

"Stop it IU, your arms are okay now, just stretch em out" she teased.

"And who told you my stage name"? she asked with puzzled brows.

"Oh, the guy on the other end of your curtain".

Jieun had lost it, she decided to beat hell to this person. Pushing the curtains aside she yelled...

"Yah!, If you're not a bastard, I dare you to call my stage name again".

"You're noisy".

The voice was rather familiar but sounded weak, the person was covering himself with the blanket.

"Eonni, you might have to treat this person again".

Jieun started to beat him. She towered over him, not minding her cartoonish socks on display, she continues beating him with a pillow.

"Stop it" yells the unarmed guy.

Jieun slipped on the sheets and fell on the person's side. Lifting the sheet off his face, Tae ho looked at Jieun.

"You!!".

Jieun was more than embarrassed. A smile played on his lips, pulling her closer to him he said...

"Miss IU, did you go crazy or this is just you're way of saying you're worried about me".

Jieun was shook. She was in a bad mood and yelling helps her vent her anger, his presence didn't even help things.

"Let go of me bastard!".

"Miss IU, calling me a bastard actually makes me feel like one...".

He pulled her closer to him, looking at her lips he leaned closer to her face.

"What are you doing... Stop!" she covers her lips.

Apparently the male held her waist tightly, she scanned his face, looking at the bruise she soften her eyes.

"Tae ho, you guys can get a room you know" said Miss A'Fei.

He just pushed Jieun off the bed. She fell on the cold floor.

"I'm not a bastard and I'm sorry for getting on your nerves, and I hope your arms get better".

Jieun stood up and composed herself, as if her arms were better, all she needed to do was to stretch them out.

"Miss A'Fei, can you send Jieun away".

Tae ho didn't want to piss her off again, he was hurt because of Beomgyu and didn't want any rumors to spread about it.

Jieun left, she was too embarrassed to even face him, she had slapped him and now beat him up how horrid could the day go.

****

"Ryujin!!" called one of her minions.

"I'm coming" she said as she adjusted her lip gloss.

"Beomgyu... he was holding Gaeun, and looking into her eyes with affection".

"What!".

Ryujin was now furious, she was sure that Beomgyu liked her, she had hated Gaeun and Jieun for a long time, she even used to bully Gaeun, but when Gaeun met Jieun, she was protected.

"Girls, let's go say hi to an old friend" she smiled darkly.

They all walked out, powerful aura surrounded them, no one ever wanted to mess with them. They were like angels with a demons heart.

No one dared cross their path. On top of the social ladder they were number 3. The number 1 was a popular boy group.

Sooner or later they would dominate, besides their parents were so rich, some were ministers, and CEOs. Some were friends with very influential people.

"Long time no see dolly" said Ryujin.

Gaeun didn't even answer, she kept looking at her book. She was scared but Jieun taught her to have a firm face.

"She's talking to you slut" said one of her minions.

"Gaeun, I greeted you, shouldn't you respond at least" Ryujin replied in a fake voice.

"State what you want and get out of my sight" she said looking into her eyes.

No one knew how she clenched a fist full of her skirt's fabric under the table.

"Wow! I'm impressed, you're becoming like Jieun, but it won't work on me I can see through you, follow us".

Gaeun was devastated now, she and Ryujin had known each other longer than Jieun. Her shaky legs betrayed her as she followed them.

"More water girls".

Gaeun was now drenched in water, they had taken her to the girls restroom.

A loud laughter echoed through the walls and soft sobbing from the bullied girl.

"Stop, please, what did I do this time" said Gaeun shivering.

Ryujin loved being in control, seems like karma was a real bitch, the past 3years Jieun protected Gaeun from her. Now she can pay her (Jieun) back for humiliating her. Karma dragged a long lost pet back to her cage, she won't escape.

"Stop flirting with Beomgyu, he's mine I hope you know".

"I-i don't know what you mean".

"More water girls, and fill the sink too"

Gaeun silently prayed someone would find her.

"Paw"!

"Why did you hold onto him, you bitch".

Gaeun was now being slapped by Ryujin. She still maintained that she did nothing.

"Grab her legs, push her head in".

They had filled the sink with water, using something to stop the water from draining away. They lifted a struggling Gaeun into the sink.

"Stay away from him you hear me" yelled Ryujin.

Grabbing a fist full of Gaeun's hair, she pushed her head into the water, she couldn't hold her breath well. Ryujin knew this too well.

Suddenly...

"Open this door you guys, people are pressed here"!!

Unknown to them it was Jieun, she had heard some girls gossip about what happened in their class.

"Get lost, it's occupied".

Jieun now lost her cool, she wasn't tough for nothing, with one kick.

"Thud"!

The lock on the door broke immediately, and the door was now wide open.

"Let go of her, right now"!.

Gaeun had almost passed out as her head was still in the water.

"You're still breathing Jieun, by the way how's Woojin, I heard her broke up with you and you still wait for him to show up, how pathetic".

They started to laugh at her, with her clenched fist Jieun answered.

"And your mouth still reeks of filth, how did you make it to final year, I remember beating your padded ass at every subject possible" a smile tugged on her lips.

"You bitch!!, Girls let's go, you'll regret this Jieun...".

Flinging Gaeun's head out of the water and pushing her to the floor, she stomped out with her gang.

"Gaeun-ah, yah! Wake up... please" she kept tapping her face.

She touched her unconscious friend and all her clothes were wet even her hair.

"Han Ryujin you bastard"!.

She carried Gaeun on her back, running across the hallway, she was headed to the sick bay.

Beomgyu was at the hallway's vending machine, only to see a girl carrying another who seemed fainted on her back with water dripping down from her body rushing away.

"Move out of the way" yelled Jieun.

The unconscious girl turned her head towards Beomgyu.

"Huh?... Gaeun".

He just wondered what happened to her. He was about to follow to see where she's headed when...

"Choi Beomgyu, the teacher said I should call you" said Ryujin holding his arm.

He looked over to her hand and she gently took it off.

"Let's go" he said.

Ryujin sighed. Beomgyu sighed as a reply.

She now laughed as he copied her, even her laugh was cute thought Beomgyu.

****

"Get blankets now Jieun!".

Hurrying over to a shelf she took out some blankets and a P.E uniform.

"What happened to her!" asked Miss A'Fei as she pushed on Gaeun's chest causing her to cough out soapy water.

"That bitch...she tried to drown her in water... Soapy water for that matter" said Jieun as tears filled her eyes.

"Lock the doors we need to change her clothes for her, check if anyone is here".

After checking all the beds she saw no one, she locked the doors.

"Who did this" asked the nurse.

"Han Ryujin!"

A'Fei stopped a little, she once dated a certain Han' with a demon like sister.

"Oh, stay away from her, she's trouble. Her entire family is trouble" she said.

They helped Gaeun change her clothes and wrapped her in warm blankets. She was okay now.

Jieun stood up after rubbing her best friend hand.

"Where are you going, Jieun"?.

" To beat up a bitch".

She unlocked the door and went out, with bloodshot eyes.

"Yah, Han Ryujin you bitch come out here... NOW!!".
