"Yoongi."
Mr. Kim Ku's voice cut through the noise.
Yoongi stood up from his squatting position and walked back toward him.
Without thinking, I grabbed Jimin's water bottle and drank from it quickly.
"Chill!" Jimin laughed.
After resting for a bit, we all went back into the school building.
"I'll be back," jimini said heading toward the principal's office.
I nodded and continued lying down
Some girls were talking bout me
This habit of them can never die
I stood up and left the field
Suddenly
I slipped.
Pain shot through my knee as I fell.
"Aww..m" I gasped.
I looked down.
A rope.
Someone had placed it there.
Then I heard it.
"Oops."
Lisa.
My breath caught.
If I stay silent like before…
If I let them treat me the same way they did on my first day…
No.
I was done being weak.
I didn't even realize when my hand lifted
SLAP.
The sound echoed.
Lisa's eyes widened in shock.
She raised her hand to hit me back
But
Yoongi stepped between us.
Her palm hit his chest instead.
My heart dropped.
That slap was supposed to be mine.
I clenched my fists.
I had been quiet for too long.
Being poor didn't mean I deserved humiliation.
I used to be a taekwondo girl
somewhere along the way, I forgot that.
Yoongi placed his hand on my back.
"Come," he said calmly.
*******
School Ward
He led me to the hospital ward.
"Sit here," he said, helping me onto the bed.
"The nurse isn't around. I'll get the first-aid box."
When he returned, he squatted in front of me.
Gently, he lifted my leg.
My breath hitched.
He soaked cotton with iodine and carefully applied it to my knee.
"Sorry," he murmured.
I winced.
His touch was careful almost too gentle.
"why Are all your classmates bitches?" I asked quietly.
He paused.
"Winter probably sent them," I continued."I don't even understand why she hates me this much."
He didn't answer immediately.
"She wants me to be her boyfriend," he said.
I blinked.
"And how does that involve me?" I asked.
He looked up at me.
"Because I told her…"
"…that you're my girlfriend."
