A few days after the kiss:
I walk down the corridor and go to my locker. For the whole entire weekend could not get the scene out of my head. Baekhyun kissing me. The thought of it makes my insides warm, I have to pinch myself every now and then to remind me that the kiss was real.
"Hey YongHi!" greets Song Kyo.
"Hey"
"You feeling better?"
"Yeah haha I guess so," I say while taking out my math books from my locker,"I haven't seen you in such a long time!"
"I know!!" Songkyo replies in a dramatic voice,"I missed having you around.."
"Well guess what? Me too," We both giggle and link arms on our way to the classroom.
As we enter, a group of girls stand in the corner, monitoring our every move. It's YuSam and her gang. SongKyo shuffles closer to me, trying to protect me from their icy glares.
I take a quick glance at YuSam. She still looks the same. Beautiful, proud and neat. The only flaw is the dirty look on her face, making me feel slightly uncomfortable.
SongKyo and I sit down next to each other. "I think we should be careful today. YuSam is still probably pretty pissed about the breakup," she whispers, "but don't worry, I'll be here when you need me."
"Thank you." I give her a warm, genuine smile.
I know what's going to happen, I can feel it, no, see it. My experiences with YuSam are never good, even from the very first day we met. I'm probably going to get into some sort of physical fight with her today.
But I'm not going to be the victim anymore, I will never let it happen again; atleast not now. If she wants a fight, she can have a fight. If she wants it rough, she can have it rough.
Surprisingly, YuSam doesn't make any sly moves during class, which makes me curious. What exactly is she up to...?
A part of me tells me that we're up for something far worse than expected.
But I'm not afraid, no more backing out. This time, I fight back.
The bell rings and everyone quickly rushes out of the classroom apart from me, Songkyo, YuSam and her gang. It's as if the class had sensed World War III coming. Which it sort of has.
I slowly begin to tidy my desk and take my books, so does Songkyo. I monitor their every move, so that if they try to make a surprise attack, they can't.
But nothing happens.
YuSam takes her books and leaves the room without a word. No insults, no physical punches or kicks. Nothing.
"Well that was weird," says SongKyo as her eyebrows knit together, I was expecting some sort lf rage attack from her..."
I nod in reply. But I'm worried that YuSam may be planning something beyond my expectations. My heart feels uneasy, something isn't right. I know it.
"Let's go," I whisper with my eyes glued onto the door.
***
Absoultely nothing has happened between YuSam and I. Apart from some frequent glares and smirks.
"I'm home."
"Oh, YongHi, you're back darling," She says with her lips pressed into a tight line.
"Hi, mum," I greet while taking off my shoes, "Is everything alright?"
"Your sister isn't feeling too well... I think you have a talk with her since seems to feel more comfortable with telling you things..."
"What happened?"
"I don't know," She sighs, "She won't tell me."
"It's alright mum, I'll go have a little chat with her and tell you later ok? Don't worry so much, I'm sure everything will be fine." She gives me a faint smile and heads off into the kitchen.
I slowly open the door to Youngsoo's bedroom. There she is, curled up into a ball on her bed, "Youngsoo-ah," I say gently, "What's wrong...?"
She lifts up her head revealing two tear stained eyes. The fact that I couldn't be there to protect her from being hurt creates a pang of guilt wash over me, "Unnie," She chokes, "The girls at school are being mean to me. I don't like my new school! I want to go back!"
Trust me, I want to go back too...
"What did they do?"
Youngsoo takes a few deep breathes, "They call me names and say that I'm fat and ugly.."
"Fat?! Youngsoo, don't listen to them. Remeber when we went to the doctors the other day? They said you were close to being underweight! And don't forget, you were the prettiest girl in your old school." I tell her.
"I-I know," She sobs, "But they said, 'You're not fat because you're fat, you're fat because we hate you'."
That made me want to laugh, Mean girls reference...? Really...
"And then," She continues, "She said that her sister told her to be mean to me. I don't know why someone would do that... I don't even who her sister is!"
I sit there as still as stone. Sister?
"Youngsoo, what's that girls last name?"
"It's Im... Im Yu hun..."
It feels like someone has slapped me in the face, waking me up, bringing back to reality. Im Yu Sam, that girl is going to pay. She can bully me all she wants, but dragging my family in? That's a big no.
"It's alright Youngsoo, don't worry, unnie will fix everything for you ok? Just remember to ignore and avoid those people as much as you can." I say while rubbing her back.
"Ok, thankyou..."
I get up and walk out the room, Im Yu Sam, you just wait.
***
The next day:
I tell everything that happened yesterday to SongKyo, "What?! How could she do such a thing!"
"I know. But she's going to pay, I'm going to get her this time." I say while clenching my fists into a tight ball.
"Yonghi, I know you must be mad, but don't do anything too rash... I don't want to see you get hurt like before,"
"It's ok Songyo, don't worry, I won't."
There's suddenly a tap on my shoudler, causing me to flinch and turn around.
"Hey Yonghi!"
It's Baekhyun. It's Baekhyun. It's Baekhyun. What do I do? We haven't talked once after the kiss. What do I do?
Blood rushes to my cheeks and my whole face seems to be on fire, "H-hi Baekhyun..."
He flashes one of his cute smiles at me, making my legs weak.
"I was wondering if you wanted to go get a drink after school....?"
Wait. Is he asking me out right now... I'm I hearing things right? Oh my god..
"U-uh... S-sure," I say, trying not make my voice sound so excited.
"That's great then! I'll see at the front gates after school! See you!" He turns and joggs back down the hallway, leaving me standing there, partially shocked and happy.
SongKyo nudges me,"Oooooohhh~ Looks like someones got a date!"
***
I still have unfinished business with Yu sam. I remind myself after the lunch bell rings. I decide to go without Songkyo, because I'm worried that I might somehow drag her into this as well.
I go to the normal place where Yu sam and her group of friends hangout, but she's not there, only her friends are.
"Where's Yu Sam." I ask in a stern voice.
I really don't give crap about their opinions right now, all I'm focusing on is finding that girl who told her sister to bully my sister.
"She's waiting for you over in the oval." Says a tall girl.
With that, I take off and run to the the area where the girl had directed me to.
There she is, standing next to a tree, looking straight at me.
"Im yu sam! What are you doing, dragging my little sister into this!" I shout, a sudden surge of anger flaring through me.
"Calm down, Yong hi." She says lazily.
"Tell your sister to stop what she's doing right now."
"You're much smarter than I thought. Being able to figure out that I was the one behind all of the bullying towards that little twit."
"Don't you dare call her that."
I'm ready to slap or punch her if she doesn't stop this nonsense.
"But I will tell her to stop, as long as you promise me something." An evil smirk grows on her face
"What is it that you want from me."
"Stay away from Baekhyun, and I will stop everything. My sister bullying yours, my bullying you. Everything. As long as you get your dirty hands off of my boyfriend, every single thing will go back to normal. At least for me."
"And what if I say no?" I know I'm pressing her buttons, but I can't loose to her this easily.
Her face turns dark,"Then I will make sure that you wish you were never born. Kwon Yong hi... don't you underestimate me, because I know a lot of things that can make you and your famiily fall apart." she threatens.
"Why do you always have to include my family in this? Leave them out!"
"No can do."
"Im Yu Sam! I said, leave them out!"
"Shouting isn't going to do anything you know. Now, let me ask you again. Will you stay away from Baekhyun?"
I'm sick of this, the fact that I have to be the one victimized every time, the fact that I'm always the one being picked on. I can't raise the white flag to someone like her. I promised myself that I wouldn't loose to her, "No. I won't stay away from him. If you want Baekhyun so bad, then get him back yourself without using any dirty tricks."
Yu sam seems a bit shocked by my answer, but a big smirk quickly replaces it,"Very well then. You should've surrendered, because now, your life is about to turn into hell."
"I'd like to see you try. Oh and by the way, Baekhyun isn't your boyfriend anymore, he dumped you." I let out a small laugh and walk away. She's not the only one who's experienced in these types of wars. I have many cards up my sleeve too, just you wait and see...
"Kwon Yong Hi you b*tch! Baekhyun is still my boyfriend no matter what! I don't care if he doesn't like me, he's still mine and no one can have him but me! He's liked me before, and he will again!" She screams.
Did she really just say that? Because that just pissed.me.off.big.time. Fumming, I stalk up to her and get close up to her face," You don't deserve him one little bit! You played with him and you treated him like nothing! Why don't you just give up and continue to be the little whore you are right now!"
The words that come out of my mouth suprise me, I didn't even know I was capable of calling someone a 'whore', this was my first time.
Yu Sam looks at me in shock. We both glare at each other, sparks flying inbetween us.
I give her one last deadly look before walking away.
