Hyun-Jae had made it to class all flustered and pink from what happened earlier as she walked to her seat next to her good friend she had known since childhood, Choi Nam-Ra.

Althought Nam-Ra was mainly off doing her thing and not being as talkative to others in the class.

"Good morning Prez." Hyun-Jae spoke cheerfully.

"Good Morning." Nam-Ra spoke. "I told you not to call me that."

"Why not? You are the class prez. Either that or I look for a new nickname for you. Like.. Nam."

"I don't like it." Nam-Ra glanced at her. "You're bad at coming up with nicknames." She added.

Hyun-Jae placed a hand over her heart. "Your words hurt me Nam-Ra." She teased as she laid her head on the table. "They kill me to hear. Say something nice."

"No."

"Why not?"

"I already told Ga-Eul something nice."

"Why him? Do you.. like him?" Hyun-Jae asked with a grin slowly forming on her lips

"What nonsense are you speaking? I do not."

"We could be sisters if you liked him."

"You're already thinking of marriage for us?" Nam-Ra asked as she lightly tapped her pencil on Hyun-Jae's forehead making the female pout a bit.

"What's wrong with that?"

"You're insane. Now let me study."

"Okay okay." Hyun-Jae spoke as she got up before walking over to the small group. "Morning everyone." She spoke.

"Morning Hyun-Jae." Gyeong-Su spoke. "Say... mind if I get another drink today?" He asked.

"Sure. I was going to pass by the store anyways. Let's go together."

"What about me?" Su-Hyeok and Cheong-San asked at the same time.

"E-eh? You two want to come too?"

"Why not?" Su-Hyeok asked as he placed an arm around her neck.

Gyeong-Su noticed as he laughed a bit. "Don't tell me.. Bare-Su is jealous." He chuckled.

Su-Hyeok grew embarrassed a bit. "W-wait a minute. I am not jealous." He tried to defend himself but only getting teased more by his friends.

Hyun-Jae covered her face as she shook her head.

On-Jo watched quietly as she was jealous of the closeness that Su-Hyeok and Hyun-Jae seemed to have together. She had planned to have her confession soon though and knew that the two weren't dating. Unaware of what happened between the two at all.

Na-Yeon walked into class around the same time as she was fuming when she saw who was sitting on her desk. Storming over immediately. "Yah! Get off my desk you fuck!"

Gyeong-Su noticed as he huffed. "Geez. There you go. Here. I'll even clean it for you."

Na-Yeon freaked out on him. "Don't do that. You're dirty. Gross. Get away from me." She spoke.

Hyun-Jae listened before grabbing Gyeong-Su back. "Leave her. She's not worth it. Some people don't have class at all."

"Who are you to talk? Hanging out with that bag of dirt."

Hyun-Jae listened as she almost charged at her before Su-Hyeok wrapped an arm around her waist and keeping her back. Hearing the bell ring as he carried her to her seat. "Stay."

"But she-."

"Stay and focus on class. You said it yourself. She's not worth it." Su-Hyeok spoke before walking to his seat as he glanced over before sending her a small heard with his thumb and index finger.

The small heart made her chuckle quietly. Shaking her head before turning to face the front once the teacher had walking in for the moment.

"Good morning everyone."

"Good morning Ms. Park." The class spoke.

Ms. Park smiled. "Great to see that you are all here. Has anyone seen Hyeon-Ju?" She asked, seeing that the seat was empty.

No one knew where she was but one student did speak up.

"Last we saw her was when we were cleaning the science lab room." Oh Joon-Yeong spoke up. He had been right though. The day before he had cleaned the science room with a few others and Hyeon-Ju had been one of them.

Ms. Park listened before giving a small nod. "Alright then. After school one of you needs to try and see if they can get into contact with her." She spoke. "Now bring your phones up to the front so I can take them to the teacher's office."

She watched as the phones were dropped off and glanced around. "Hyun-Jae." She spoke up.

"Hmm? Yes, Ms. Park?"

"Where's your phone?"

"I left it at home today."

"Smart choice." Ms. Park spoke before sending a message in the class group chat and hearing a few phones. "Bring them all up." She glanced up.

I-Sak and Dae-Su walking up to the front and hanging in their phones right away after being caught.

"I see you weren't lying Hyun-Jae. I almost doubted you."

Hyun-Jae smiled as she knew that her phone was deep in her bag and hidden away in a safe spot.

"Now then. Let's begin with the day." Ms. Park spoke.

Classes started for the day as Ms. Park taught her class. It had been a while since class had started. It was until a bloody Hyeon-Ju walking into the classroom stubling. Opening the door and walking a few steps before collapsing.

Ms. Park stopped the class and rushed over immediately. "Hyeon-Ju?! What happened?" She asked as the others rushed over to see.

"M-ms. Park.."

"I'm here. It's me. You're going to be okay." She reassured.

"M-ms. Park... Mr. Lee.. tried to kill me."

"W-what?"

"H-he kept me in the science room locked.."

Ms. Park listened in horror as she glanced around. "I'll take her to the infirmary. Nam-Ra make sure the class studies." She spoke.

"I'll help carry her." Su-Hyeok volunteered as Ms. Park helped put her on his back.

"I'll help too." Hyun-Jae spoke at the same time as On-Jo. Glancing over at her to see her being jealous she agreed to go too.

"I'll help as well." I-Sak spoke up as Ms. Park thanked them.

Hyun-Jae help Hyeon-Ju down so she wouldn't fall as they ran down the hall.

Hyeon-Ju looked sick and in bad condition as she swayed a bit. Almost about to bite Su-Hyeok but didn't as she was rushed into the infirmary.

Taking her to the bed as she was laid down. Being covered as her temperature was taken and being higher than it should be.

"It's.. i-it's so hot."

"You're temperature says otherwise."

"Mr. Lee.. g-gave a weird shot."

"A shot? What kind of shot?" Ms. Park asked.

"H-he wanted to kill me.. I-i'm going to kill him." Hyeon-Ju mumbled as Hyun-Jae and On-Jo help her down.

I-Sak holding her stomach down to let them do what they needed to do.

On-Jo let go once she swung her way as held her arm.

Hyun-Jae moving away feeling her own arm being scratched at since On-Jo had let go as she immediately held her down again after the nurse gave her a shot.

Hyeon-Ju seemed to calm down as she soon lost consciousness.

"Are you two alright?" The nurse asked.

"I'm okay. It's a small scratch." On-Jo spoke. Glancing over at Hyun-Jae to see Su-Hyeok already by her side.

"Let me see it." Su-Hyeok spoke.

"I'm fine." Hyun-Jae replied.

Su-Hyeok grabbing her gently as he noticed the stratch. "You shouldn't have come."

"I wanted to help."

"Hyun-Jae." The nurse spoke up. "Let's get that cleaned and patched up. You too On-Jo." She added.

The two girls had their wounds cleaned and patched as the three students watched Hyeon-Ju being taken away.

Ms. Park sighed a bit as she waved before turning to them. "Head back to class first. I have to have a small talk with the principal."

Hyun-Jae nodded as she still in shock to the things they had seen before heading inside. Su-Hyeok following her. "Are you sure you're okay?"

"I am very okay."

"Great." He sighed in relief. "Can you head to class first?"

Hyun-Jae noticed before nodding. "Okay." She spoke before leaving him and On-Jo alone in the staircase. The silence filling up the space.
