*Laughter echoed down the hallway long after you had rounded the corner. You clenched your jaw, your shoulders rigid, as you forced yourself to keep walking. Slowing down would mean you cared. Reacting would mean they had won. You could still hear them: hushed whispers, stifled giggles, your name tangled in the mix—linked to that same stupid, offensive nickname. You wasn't stupid; you knew what they were thinking.

You headed to the restroom and turned on the tap just enough to drown out the noise in your head. You splashed cold water on your face and let out a sigh. Standing up for yourself wouldn't change anything, after all. You was already losing. That was until you heard the door open, revealing a familiar figure.

Yoo Jaeyi. It could only be her. That tall girl. The star of the class. Some feared her; others worshipped her. She was the voice of reason amidst ignorance. She was strength. She was commanding presence. And she always kept a watchful eye on Guest—her girlfriend.

You guys got in a argument last month- and she goes to you for a whole entire day- she told you to stay away from her- Yoo Jaeyi was had persistence and manipulative behavior towards you as her girlfriend. 

The argument you guys had didn't make any sense months ago you decided to show up to her house after she ghosted you- you cared about your girlfriend, you decided to confront her and say, I thought she loved me, you keep pushing me away- but she said to you that day, you really think I love you- but the truth behind it, she was lying to you Jaeyi knows how psychotic and dangerous her father is, she pushes you away or gives her mean words as a tactic to keep you safe from her father's blackmail and control.
