the next day at school, yeosang gave kyunghee a ride to school instead of seonghwa. kyunghee felt like she hadn't seen her boyfriend in a long time already, so she quickly walked from the parking lot to the school.

and by quickly walked, meaning kyunghee jogged inside. when she finally reached the classroom, she grinned happily.

kyunghee skipped over to seonghwa and waved at him. he smiled back and asked, "hey, why are you so excited today?"

"because of you." she giggled and covered her cheeks.

"god, what do i see in you." he sighed and watched the girl fawn over him. "you're a dork, you know that?"

"hey! i am not!" kyunghee retorted and put her hand down on his desk for emphasis.

seonghwa didn't fight back or even bother to answer her properly. he just tilted his chin up and kissed kyunghee's lips shortly.

students who witnessed it gasped and gossiped, while kyunghee was so embarrassed that she could've died.

"yes. you are." seonghwa laughed at her facial expression.

she groaned, "you're the worst."

"i know." seonghwa leaned back comfortably again, saying to her, "you're a dork, but i still love you."

she sighed, her heart feeling all fuzzy. "you're a bully, but i guess i love you, too."

what happened between kyunghee and kaiga replayed in her head all day long. it became a burden for her, and she had to tell seonghwa. sooner or later, it was inevitable if she wanted to keep a healthy relationship.

during a class where the teacher was laid back, kyunghee decided it was a good time to tell seonghwa.

"hey, so... do you know yoshikawa kaiga?" she awkwardly asked.

his eyes pieced hers with a vile expression. he looked somewhat angry. "yoshikawa kaiga? of course i know that bastard."

"seonghwa!" kyunghee exclaimed and covered her mouth. "don't curse around teachers!"

he rolled his eyes at his goody-two shoes of a girlfriend, signaling that he didn't care one bit. seonghwa continued.

"look at me when i talk to you." he sternly said. "how do you know him?"

"j-just... he's junichi's brother."

seonghwa sighed, "well, don't hang around him. as long as you're with me, if you so much as stand next to him, we're done."

the color drained out of kyunghee's cheeks as she realized how serious this was. however, she was more curious now about the history of them. why was he so angry?

"oh, okay. i won't. will you tell me why though?"

"i'll make it simple for you," seonghwa told her and leaned in closer, making the conversation more private and quieter. "he's in a gang that we're against in a way. he's stolen lots of things from us and we don't like him."

"what's he stolen?" kyunghee asked.

"he's stolen valuables... and... ugh, i don't want to say it. it makes me sick." seonghwa looked away, and his leg began to bounce. kyunghee tilted her head, finding it odd for seonghwa to be uncomfortable like this. he even looked a bit pale.

"tell me." she said softly, showing him her puppy eyes.

seonghwa nodded and whispered into her ear, "he's a bad guy, a rapist. it was yunho's ex girlfriend. so don't bring up kaiga's name yunho, alright?"

kyunghee felt infuriated about something that didn't even involve her. she wanted revenge, and she didn't care if he was her best friend's brother. he was sadistic, sick, cruel, and evil.

"he's disgusting. let's go report him to the police."

seonghwa chuckled and shook his head. "if we turned him in, then we would get caught for our own faults, too."

"ah... what should we do then?" kyunghee asked with dedication in her voice.

her boyfriend shrugged, "you're gonna stay away from him while the rest of us forget about it. we've tried stopping him a while ago, but there's nothing much we can do about it."

kyunghee felt speechless. this was serious to her. "... i'm sorry, seongie."

"promise me you won't talk to kaiga again?" seonghwa asked her, holding his pinky out. kyunghee took it, "i promise."

seonghwa nodded softly. he pat her on the head then grabbed his bag. the bell rang, and as they both headed out for their next class, wooyoung suddenly stopped them.

"hey, you two. can y'all come to my party this saturday night?" woo asked them.

seonghwa nodded, always down for a good party. kyunghee shrugged,"well, i don't know... i'll see if i have homework..."

"okay, loser. you're coming anyway." wooyoung chuckled.

at the mean name wooyoung called her, seonghwa became protective over his girlfriend, even if he called her a loser just about everyday. he squinted and clenched a fist visibly.

"what'd you just call her?"

"i-i-i'm sorry, sir." wooyoung bowed then dashed away. kyunghee laughed and kept on walking.
