Stuck in Between

8. Traitors

Chorong's POV

It was unfortunate that I wasn't able to attend any of my morning classes today. I fell asleep for a long time in the infirmary. Tao was there the whole time as well, while Eunji went back to class.

I don't know if Tao really wants to stay with me or he just doesn't want to attend class. He started to keep quiet again after that laughing incident with me and Eunji.

Haist! Is he just like that to me?

I opened my locker. My books and other stuff are now gone, but some spots of paint are still on my locker walls.

Eunji told me that they took my books away and tried to make them dry in the building's rooftop. I'll get them later.

Then I remembered again what happened this early morning. Hu! I really hate that Grease! Doesn't he know how to respect girls?! Why is he bullying me?!

Call me Oppa.

Arrrgh! His voice and that sentence keeps entering my brain tubules. AND WHY WOULD I CALL HIM OPPA?!! Heol. Daebak. I won't even call him Sunbae (senior)! He doesn't deserve that name! To hell with you, Grease!

But his eyes.

When he looked at me.

Call me Oppa.

When he said that.

Did I see loneliness?

Was that emptiness?

Why is lonely? Why does he feel empty?

ASDFGHJKL! Why am I thinking about him?! Stop!!!

I shook my head and covered my ears. He is a big jerk with nothing in his head but air! I really hate you, Grease!

During the afternoon break, Tao suddenly disappear from the classroom. So as Chanyeol and Chen. Where did they go?

"Chorong-ah! Omo! You can't believe this!" Bomi shouted with mixture of shock and glee drawn on her face as she run approach me.

"Mwo?" I asked her with my usual expressionless face.

She sat on the chair in front of my desk. "Chanyeol and Chen are in Kris's group."

"Wha----"

"MWOYA?!!!" Eunji's voice and flabbergasted expression is louder than mine. "What are you talking about, Bomi?"

"Jinjja! I saw them in the field walking then in the canteen. Chanyeol was even eating with Kai in one table." Bomi explained.

"That traitor! Why is he eating with Kai?!" Eunji exclaimed slamming my desk. We were all taken aback. This girl.

She crossed her arms. "How could he? Isn't he supposed to be with us in this fight? How could he do that to us?" said Eunji with a hurt expression.

I hugged her. Awww. "Neo jinjja chinguya!" I said. I'm so touched with what she said. She said 'us' in this fight.

"Of course, I'm always with you, chinguya." She hugged me back.

Bomi also joined the group hug. As well as Na Eun who came running from her seat.

Then her expression calmed down and faced Bomi again, "By the way, who's Kai?"

"Kris's friend." Bomi answered immediately.

"Friend or side kick?" I asked sarcastically.

"Both?" Bomi laughed.

"Kai is the dark skinned guy who's best friends with Taemin." Na Eun inserted.

"Who's Taemin?" I asked.

"Na Eun's boyfriend from a different high school." Bomi answered.

"Ahhhh..." Both Eunji and I responded.

"You have a boyfriend?!" Eunji again shifted her mood with that over-acting shocked tone.

Na Eun just smiled. Yeah, of course, a sweet girl like her deserves one.

"But Kai is actually after her." Bomi whispered to me. My pupils dilated looking at Bomi to confirm what she said. "Since grade school. But she likes Taemin so Kai was heartbroken and fought with Taemin." she confirmed.

"Jinjja? So that's why Taemin is in a different school?" Eunji interfered.

I shook my head smiling at her. She is really a capable girl. How could she eavesdrop so well?

"Enough with my story. Let's just go to the gym after class." Na Eun said before leaving for her seat.

Eunji followed her. "Why would we go to the gym?"

But I wasn't able to hear the answer anymore. The teacher already entered the room and our class monitor, Suho, stood up and shouted, "Chariot! Kyungne."
