MEET THE GANGSTER

---

“It was a great film!” one of the girls said. Film? They filmed me? Damn. I wipe my face with my hands, I shouldn’t cry, I should fight for myself because I’m not doing anything wrong.
“Yumae?” he offered his hand to me. I look up and see his face. Then tears fall from my eyes.
“Wh-Who are you?” I asked.
“It’s not that important.” I grab his hand and stand up. I wipe my tears away from my cheeks.
“I’m a new student here.” He said.
“Oh, really? How long?”
“Just today. It was my first day.” I nod.
“Thank you uh… Mr. New student.” And a weak smile curves from my pale lips.
“It’s okay. Y-you should clean up first and I’ll go to my class.”
“Okay.” then we part ways. That guy is a little weird—he is a gangster looking one yet he’s kind as well. Aiish, never mind. I am making my way to the wash room when…
“Yumae?”
“Yumae? What happened to you?”
“Uh, I’m okay Baekhyun. It’s just… a… prank.”
“Tell me who did this to you?”
“Uh…”
“TELL ME!”
“S—No, I shouldn’t tell you.”
“Please… tell me.”
“I have to go to the wash room.”
“Tell me—”
“YUMAE.”
“K-Kyung Soo…”
“What happened?” Kyung Soo straightly asked with a dark expression.
“It’s just a prank.”
“Who did this?” he asked again. This time I’m not saying any word.
“TELL ME WHO DID THIS?!” Kyung Soo exclaimed. He gave me goose bumps.
“S-Some of the girls and… Sulli.”
“B-But why? How?” instead of telling them the whole story I point to the post it board and they run to it. I look down to the ground—embarrassed.
“I’m not that kind of girl. It was a setup but believe me, there’s no meaning behind all of that. I SWEAR TO GOD.”

KRIS WU’S POINT OF VIEW:
Finally I’m done with my first class—history which I do hate the most. I don’t know but since high school I always fail to this subject. Right now, she’s still absent for today and also Kai. I’m getting really curious about the both of them. If it’s just about the drink then they should have not any hangover by now.
“Gosh! I can’t move on about the dorm scandal from the post it board!” I heard one of my classmates said.
“Scandal? Of who?” asked her seatmate excitedly. My ears are trying hard to hear their talks.
“It’s Kai and the new student—our classmate? I don’t remember her name but remember the marathon in the CPA Dorm competition? That’s her—The girl who fainted right on the finish line!”
“Yes! I know her. I remember her! Kyung Soo saved her right?” WHAT?! Is that for real? Without any hesitation, my feet automatically move and get out of my second class. I open the door but someone was blocking my way—standing, not moving in front of me. A tall guy that is almost the same height as me, with lots of piercings on his ears and he looks unfamiliar to me.
“Get out of my way!” I exclaimed.
“Why are you scolding me?” the guy asked.
“Don’t you know me?” I asked him.
“How the hell I’m going to know you? I am just a new student.”
“You chose to study here and yet you don’t know me? Better get out of my way!” then I slightly pushed him. I walk hurriedly to the post it board but I see a man’s figure standing in front of the board. My brain didn’t think for another second and…
“KAI!” Before he can look at me I punched him on his left cheek.
“What did you do huh?!” I grab his collar, dragging him upwardly to my face. His lips are bleeding.
“What did you do to Yumae?!” he was struggling to remove my hands off of him but unfortunately, he can’t.
“I didn’t do anything! We didn’t do anything!”
“ASSHOLE!” Then I punched him again.
“Look, she’s unconscious! You set it up—you made her drunk then you took her to your room!”
“It’s not about what you think! The both of us are the one who’s been setup!” I slowly let go of his collar.
“It was all a big misunderstanding. Maybe all the people here were thinking that it was a scandal. But Yumae and I know the truth.” I am still looking at him. He was wiping the blood from his lips.
“Tell me why are you so overprotecting Yumae? When we are at the pool, you pushed Kyungsoo away from reviving Yumae from being drowned. Do you… are you in love with her?” Frozen. His question makes me unable to move. I just tilt my head down to the ground.
“In the way you’re so concerned about her, we are just the same.” I look at him. We are the same?
“But I am not a desperate one to do this scandal thing especially when I know that me and Yumae’s life will be at risk.” He point to the board.
“If I find out who did this then they would pay for it.” He continued.
“I understand why you punched me, so it’s okay.” he walked away.

“Are you in love with her? In the way you’re so concerned about her, we are just the same.” Those lines are keeps on echoing on my mind. Kris, why can’t you answer it by yourself? Are you in love with her? I don’t know what to say. I don’t know, I can’t even explain this damn feelings.

YUMAE’S POINT OF VIEW:
I am at the CPA Garden with Baekhyun. There are no other people there and I cried a lot to express myself—my feelings. I already clean up myself and I have some bruises on my arms and face.
“Yumae you can cry now, express what you feel. I am here to comfort you.” Baekhyun said.
“Baekhyun, it’s really humiliating! Everyone thinks that we did that…”
“What that?”
“That… thing…”
“Thing?”
“You know…”
“Aaaah…”
“But nothing happened. It was all a setup!”
“I know. I know.” While I am expressing myself to him…

From: CPA President
Please proceed to my office now. We need to talk.

Baekhyun come with me. When I opened the door, there stood Kai, Kyungsoo, and… Kris Wu.
“What happened?” I asked Kai. I saw his lips are bleeding. He just smile and moves his head from left to right.
“Ok. Let’s start.” The president said.
“Kris Wu? Aren’t you going out? You’re not invited.” The president commands.
“Why am I going out? I am the son of the CPA owner. So if I want to stay, I’ll stay.” Kris answered.
“Okay. Baekhyun?” then he looked at him.
“If Kris will not go out, I’ll also stay. He’s my brother.” He answered. I knew this is very embarrassing especially on my side because I am the girl.
“Okay, let’s get straight to the point.” The President said.
“Explain to me those pictures on the post it board.”
“Mr. President someone had set up all those images.” I explained.
“There’s no meaning behind all of that.” Kai continued.
“Then, what is this?” he said as he showed us the photo where I kissed Kai in front of my room on his left cheek and another one when I kissed Kai on his lips on the bed.
“Uhh… that…” I said.
“Let me explain those.” Kai interrupted me.
“That time, Yumae is so drunk that she didn’t even think what she’s doing. She didn’t know that she did that because of the alcohol effect. Maybe others think there’s something behind it but there’s nothing.” He explained.
“Okay, if the both of you were drunk that time, maybe you don’t know what you’re doing too. So let’s go to reality, if Yumae becomes pregnant then both of you will face the same consequences. That kind of issue can’t be tolerated in CPA. Honestly speaking, it is the first time that a scandal came out of this university. It’s a huge shame for the school. Did you get my point?” we all nod.
“The both of you will get expelled out of CPA. Understand?” I gulp as the President said that. Is that possible? That we did that thing?
“I’m sure she’ll not get pregnant. I know what I am doing, Mr. President.” Kai answered.
“It’s better to be ready than to get unprepared and surprised.” I tilt my head down and Baekhyun pats my left shoulder.
“This meeting is now dismissed. Everything we had discussed should remain confidential.” The President reminds.

KRIS WU’S POINT OF VIEW:
“If Yumae becomes pregnant then both of you will face the same consequences. The both of you will get expelled out of CPA. Understand?” Aaaish! Will she get pregnant? Hell, no way!
“Kai.” I move my body closer to him.
“If Yumae gets pregnant, I’ll kill you.” I unknowingly said.
“I understand.” He answered then smirks at me. Aiish, that smirk. I really hate that smirk! How I really wish that she’ll not get pregnant. I don’t know what I could do if that day comes.

YUMAE’S POINT OF VIEW:
If I get pregnant then I’ll get expelled out of CPA? NO WAY! This is my dream. I had risk everything just to be here. I trust Kai—that he didn’t do anything to me.
“Hey, this girl looks rich.”
“Yeah! And she’s beautiful!” that two gangster looking guys said.
“HEY!” and there’s the third one. I walk even faster to get away to them but they’re still following me.
“Miss! Don’t dare to go away!” and he grab my right hand.
“Get off me!” I said then run. I run, I am the marathon champion right? I can do this but they keep on chasing me!
“HEY!” until there’s the fourth one that flashed in front of me. He blocked my way.
“Get off me!” I yelled as they drag me to a small pathway.
“I’ll give you my money!” I offered.
“We don’t want your money!” and he slowly run his fingers to my arms. I pulled my arms away from him.
“PIN HER UP!” the other one commands. Pin me up? The two guys hold my arms tightly.
“W-What are you going to do?!” I asked. The pathway is a little bit dark so I am shivering again. The two guys hold my arms tightly in upward position.
“Just follow and nothing will happen.” The guy who commands them said. I am trying my best to get away but they’re too strong.
“I’m so lucky…” the guy said.
“What do you want? Money? I have money! I can pay you. How much?” I tried to convince them. But of course I don’t have a large amount of money. His fingers went in my jeans, and he was about to unzip my jeans but I kicked him.
“Oh, you want to play?” he said while holding my chin with his hand. I choke as he released my chin.
“L-LET GO OF ME!” I yelled. He quickly cover my mouth with his hand.
“Ssshhh.” He said. I am shivering to death. KAI? Kai? Where are you? Kyung Soo? Kris? Help me… help.
“HEY!” Someone shout. I can’t see the face vividly due to lack of lighting. He confidently punched and kicked those crazy drunk men. He even used a stick and combined it with his martial arts. I am there in the corner, searching for a shade of light.
“Y-Yumae? Yumae?” then the world shuts down.

PRESIDENT’S POINT OF VIEW:
08:45 in the evening. I am busy for fixing up paper works in my office when—

1 message received.
From: New Gold Student
Mr. President, I found Yumae in danger. I’ll take her to your office. I need help. She’s not fine.

My brows furrow. Danger? Yumae? Not fine? This girl keeps on getting so much trouble.
A little while, someone finally knocks at the door.

“Come in.” and there stood the new student—the CPA’s gangster student.
“What happened?” I asked. He was carrying Yumae in a bridal style.
“Four men attempted to rape her.” He answered straightly.
“WHAT? Where did that happen?”
“In a dark path way of Hongdae Street.”
“Okay, I’ll take care of her.”
“Okay.”
“Thank you… Tao.” He bows and left. I look at the angelic-faced doll lying on the sofa. Wait, is that… I come closer to her face and touch her left cheek. Indeed, it’s tears.

YUMAE’S POINT OF VIEW:
“You told me that you love me, but why are you hurting me like this?” the man yelled at me.
“I trusted you so much but why have you done this to me? Why him? Why from all of the people it’s him? Tell me! TELL ME!”

I woke up. Another dream. Weird. Where am I? I get up from an unfamiliar bed and roam my eyes.
“Oh, you’re awake!”
“K-Kyung Soo.” I said.
“W-Why am I here? What happened?”
“The new gold student of CPA saved you last night then he took you to the President’s office. The President called me and told to take care of you.” He explained.
“I am the dorm leader so you’re my responsibility.”
“Oh, thank you and… sorry for making troubles.”
“Let’s eat. I have something for you.” I follow him all the way to the kitchen.
“Tada! Pancake. I know you love them.” I smile as I see the sparkling pancakes on the table.
“Thank you Kyung Soo.” I don’t know what to say except the word ‘thank you.’
“I want to meet the one who saved me. I owe him my life.” I said while we are having pancake breakfast.
“I’ll contact Mr. President for you.” He answered.
“REALLY? Thank you so much!”
“But in one condition.”
“Condition? What is it?”
“You and I.”
“You… and me? What?”
“Let’s have a date.” Frozen. The fork stuck inside my mouth as he let out the word ‘date.’
“Date…?” I repeated.
“Yeah, a date.” He is smiling widely. Is this for real? This is the first ever date of my life!
“So…” he said. I look at him.
“Okay. Let’s have a date.” I answered.
