CL's P.O.V.

I was happily gossiping with my sidekicks Bom and Dara, while we made our way to the salad stall in the school cafeteria. Someone caught my eye just as Dara was sharing an interesting gossip about Jiyong oppa.

"You know what? I recently heard he got rather close to this girl named Minzy! Minah said she saw him s-" Dara gushed out excitedly, but I cut her off.

"Wait. Is that the girl?" My expression darkened as I pointed to the girl in the pink sweater and grey sweatpants. I recognised her as the girl who beat us all in the competition.

Bom's eyes widened as she nodded. "Yes! That's the one! That's Gong Minzy."

I could feel my anger rising. All along, I had always wanted Jiyong oppa's attention. He never did give me what I wanted. Despite growing up with him and our families being very close, he never did go beyond the line of friendship. In other words, I was friend zoned. But now what? I glared at the girl as he cluelessly pushed up her oversized glasses and gave a little pout, looking around for a seat as she clutched on to her food tray. This girl is not even in the least bit attractive! It's so obvious I'm so much prettier than her!

So what does this girl possess that I don't, that she'll make Jiyong oppa respond to her?

An evil smirk started forming on my face as I cackled creepily, my gaze never once leaving that girl.
Dara and Bom noticed it, and they tugged on my arm.

"Yah Chaerin, what are you planning to do?" Bom asked curiously.

I faked a smile and replied, "I suddenly don't feel hungry anymore. I'm going to have some fun." I smirked once again as I made my way towards the unsuspecting girl who was still looking around for a seat in the ever crowded cafeteria.

I walked behind her, as Dara and Bom looked upon. I told them to follow behind me. Now I'll look big and scary. Haha oops.

Without any warning, I bumped into her from behind.

She gave a yelp as she lost her grip on her tray, spilling her orange juice all over her pink sweater. Her bento set went tumbling to the floor and she tried to break her fall by outstretching her arms.

Everybody in the cafeteria turned to look and some even laughed. Who could blame them, though? She looked such a sight! Her sweater was stained with blotches of orange, her hands were dirtied with the contents of her meal, her oversized glasses was hanging on the edge of her nose for dear life.

I smiled triumphantly as I crossed my arms. "Oops, sorry! I didn't notice you! I thought you blended in the surroundings pretty well, as a wallflower!" I chuckled evilly as I motioned Bom and Dara to laugh along with her. The cafeteria bursted out in laughter.

Serves her right! No one gets closer to my Jiyong oppa than me!

Just as I was about to throw yet another insult at the girl, somebody pushed me aside.

"How dare you-" I shouted as I turned to see a very angry Jiyong oppa.


GD's P.O.V.

"Lee Chaerin. Haven't you had enough?" I growled as she gaped at me.

"Jiyong oppa! I was trying to get rid of this annoying girl! She keeps annoying you, oppa, I just wanted-" she tried to defend herself.

"Enough." I glared at her with murderous eyes. She unwillingly shut her mouth as she gave another pout, hoping that I'll soften. No way, woman. Never will I.

"Hey Minzy, are you alright?" I tried to help Minzy up.

The once chaotic cafeteria was now engulfed in an awkward silence. All around me, I could hear whispers.

"Isn't that Kwon Jiyong?"
"Who's that girl?"
"Why is he helping her?"
"Does he like her?"
"That stupid girl. Jiyong oppa~!"

Minzy pushed me away as she cried out, "I don't need your help. All of you are out to get me. Stop pretending and leave me alone!" She fixed her glasses, grabbed her items and ran out of the cafeteria.

I noticed something glistering around her eyes. Was she crying? Something tugged at my heartstrings. I didn't know why I felt this way, but I decided to run after her.

"Whoa! Chill it, dude!" I bumped into T.O.P just as he was making his way into the cafeteria.

"Hey! Where are you going man!" He tried to laugh and gestured.

I turned my head back and replied, "Can't talk now, dude! See you later!"

I didn't have time to lose. All I wanted there and then was to chase after that girl and make sure she's alright.


T.O.P's P.O.V.

I frowned uncertainly as I entered the cafeteria. There was a big mess of spilled orange juice and bento set contents. Raising my eyebrow, I headed towards my classmates' table and gave him a high five.

"What just happened?" I questioned, looking at the mess.

Taeyang spoke up. "Chaerin bumped into a girl and I have no idea why GD even ran out after her." Chaerin? I glanced at a very angry girl being followed by two other girls who were looking very scared. That must be Chaerin.

Turning back to look at them, a girl popped up in my mind immediately.

"What's the name of the girl?"

"Was it Gong Eunji... Min..." Taeyang scratched his head.

"Gong Minzy?" I said almost as he mentioned the first name.

Taeyang's frown disappeared as his face lit up. "That's right! Gong Minzy!" He eyesmiled.

My heart sank.

"Hey, why do you look so sad? Come on, sit with us!" Taeyang invited me, noticing my crestfallen face.

Somebody explain this depressing emotion I'm having right now?
