Part VII: Not now

Minju's POV

The wind blows gently as the glimpse of the sunset touches over my skin.



I sat near a huge tree, trying to calm myself from the ruction in the canteen earlier. Students are on their way home while I remain, reading my book to release some anxiety which that monster caused.


I never wanted attention. I wanted to be known, yes. But not with the title of fighting with their long lived bully. Since earlier, the scene in the canteen immediately spread. Some students were happy because of the thought that their miserable student life will end, all thanks to the wicked girl's match while other's feel that I'm acting as if I'm way greater than those three.



The more the news spreads, the more students passed by me and will also act to the mere fact that Yujin, the heiress is doing something again.



"Looks like you're in a deep thought. Can I bother you for a moment?" Moving back to reality, I heard someone behind me.


I immediately put the book that I didn't even read in my bag and stood up, ready to leave.

"W- wait. I'm here to apologize for Yujin" she's holding a plastic bag from what I think has snacks in it.

I stopped for a moment and looked at her using my expressionless face.


"No need, I know that your apology isn't serious at all. Is this some kind of a prank or bully scene again?Sorry, I'm too sick of it and I'm not in the mood right now" I turned my back from her. I'm too emotionally tired, to the point that I'm floating with my past thoughts.


"Listen to me first, please?" I never thought that a girl from YCyoung would say this kind of word.

I sat in the tree's big roots again, ready to listen.

"Whoo, so here are some foods. Let's eat while discussing" she removed the foods out of the plastic bag.


Burgers and colas


"Let's go straight into the point here, Miss Kim Chaewon" curiousity is just slowly killing me.


"Eat first. I'm not gonna' speak up if you don't eat this. Don't worry, it's safe" she handed me a burger and a cola. I accepted it since my stomach is already growling.

"So uhm, don't bother to call me miss. I'd rather prefer Chaewon. Well, as far as you know YCyoung is our group consist - - -




"I already knew that" Munching the food, I cut her off with her introduction.





She poked my forehead "Don't interfere with my words.It's my first time to do this so you're lucky enough to be the person whom I'm apologizing with"



"Can apologizing be possible without bullying?" I glared at her. That hurts.

"Anyways, I just wanna say sorry. We're bullies, what can you expect from us? I know we've crossed the line. Like you know, earlier about the work thingy? I tried to stop Yujin but she really do what she wants. Promise, she's really a nice girl" she's munching her food while gazing at the setting sun.



A nice girl? Really?

"That doesn't even make sense" I continued to eat the food. I didn't even expect someone from their group to say 'sorry'. They're a group overflowing with pride.

To be honest, being bullied changes you. I already knew that Yujin will say that but it still striked my ego.



"Are you even listening?" she hit my forehead using her fingers again.


"We're not that close, yet you're bullying me again. How can I accept your apology?" I looked around and saw few students left.



Time to work.

"Because you have to and you don't have a choice. It's getting late now, I will drive you home since we owe you a lot" she stood up and looked down at me.


Drive me home?



"No thanks, I can walk and I don't need your not so heartedly offer. Just go home, maybe your parents are looking for you" I stood up and turned my back at her. It's almost 5 in the afternoon, I have to hurry!


"No, I insist" she pulled me towards the parking lot of the school.

I don't have to be picky right now, my job is important and I'm going to be late .



"Hop in" she's in the driver's seat with buckled seatbelt already.






I went to the back part of the car and opened it.






"No! you're gonna make me as your driver tch. Hop in the passenger's seat" I went outside again.






I'm going to be fired because of this! Seat really does matter.





She started the engine and drove the car to my workplace which she already knew from Yujin.


*After 10 minutes*


"We're here"

"Should I say thank you?" I went outside the car and wore my work uniform. She's just looking at me.

"It's up to you" Somehow, my heavy feelings earlier went a little lighter now.



I bowed my head to her "Thank you, for the ride"

The restaurant is half filled with customers. I hurried inside and get the pen and sticky pad from the counter.

"You're late for about 15 minutes girl. Good thing boss' is not here" Key, a staff in the counter said.


Yeah, good thing he's not here coz' I'm gonna be fired for sure.

Chaewon's POV

I feel pity for Minju.


She had enough with us. I'm glad that I've got to apologize earlier, my conscience is killing me. I know that it hurts how she was degraded and I also know that Yujin didn't mean to say that.



Speaking of Yujin, she's inside the restaurant. She always visits here everytime.





"Yushin~" I pinched her cheek as soon as I arrived in her seat. It's the seat near the corner and I bet she didn't see us.


"Chaewon! Where the heck have you been earlier?" she asked eating her favorite pizza.


"Somewhere. I need to inhale some fresh air" I took a slice of pizza in the plate but she tapped my hand.


"Don't touch it! Go, buy with your own money" sheez. This girl is greedy!


This restaurant is quite fame since different kinds of people are moving in and out of this place. Local or even tourists visit here.

Being the observer that I am, I checked every faces who are occupying a table. I'm just being aware though.


When I simply checked the next table, I saw familiar faces glaring at us. The next table has another familiar faces.


"Yujin, stop eating. Look at that two tables in the corner first" I gently hit her stomach, the way that other's will not notice.



"I know, they also went here when they saw me. The first table is XCS, together with VNM then QSZ" she didn't even paid attention to their tables. She's just maintaining her blank expression.


From the four rival season universities, each has a group containing the highest and richest rank in their school.


For Winter is YCyoung *cough* - Yujin, Chaewon and Wonyoung

For Summer is XCS - Xyrene, Cassandra and Shane.

For Autumn is VNM - Vian , Nicoli and Marshan.

Then for Spring is QSZ - Quennie, Sophia and Zoe.



What are they doing in here?





Oh god, don't tell me they're backing up those summer group?




Oh no, not now.
