QRI'S POV

After talking to Joon I decided to go back to school.

When I arrive at school I notice that my cousin's cars were not here.

Did something happen while I'm not around?

I get my phone and turn it on.

I've got messages from my cousins asking where I am.

Hmm.....

But one message caught my attention.

**sigh**

Call Me...

So as the message said I immediately call the number.

I took a deep breathe.

"Hello grandpa" I said as he answer the call.

"Have you decided now Jihyun?" He ask.

Heol.

That thing again.

He talks like it was just an easy thing.

Well, it will never be an easy thing for me.

"No. Not yet Grandpa" I said.

"Make a decision fast Lee Jihyun....You know it could always be any of your cousins if you don't like" He said.

"I'm not saying no grandpa. Just give me some time. I just need to fix things" I said.

"I could give you some time but it won't be that long so fix it fast" He said and hang up.

**sigh**

"Heol. Thinking about it makes me tear up." I just said and headed to our classroom.

The hallways are clear now.

Classes were already on going and that means I'm already late.

I also don't expect to see my cousins there since their cars were not on the parking.

But while I was on my way to the classroom

I saw three girls near the locker.

They're supposed to be in their classes.

Heol.

I was just gonna ignore them but then I realize who's locker it is that they're trying to open.

I frown.

It's Hyomin's locker!

"What are you doing?" I ask and they all stop and turn to look at me.

Cheerleaders.

I saw them in the squad but I don't know their names.

"Q-qri-ssi" One of them said a bit trembling which only means they're up to something.

Something that is not good.

"That isn't your locker you're trying to open." I said.

One of them tried to hide something on her back.

"W-we're not doing anyt-thing." The tallest one said.

"Y-yeah. We're just standing here talking to each other" The other one said.

I'm not a fool to believe that.

"What are you trying to do with Park Hyomin's locker?" I ask ignoring their excuses.

They're still trembling.

"I don't care what are you trying to do. Now, I want you to stop bothering Hyomin. If I caught you once again I will kick you out of this school and make sure that no school will ever accept you again. Understood?!." I said and they all nodded obediently.

"And one more thing. I want you out of the cheering squad as soon as possible" I said and leave them.

What's the problem of those brats anyway?

I warned them already so they better not touch Hyomin or they'll face my wrath.

"So, Lee Qri is defending Park Hyomin. What's your deal with her? Do you like her too?"

I stop and notice Yoo Inna standing on the corner.

I look behind me and the three other cheerleaders are gone.

Seems like I know now who's behind all of those.

"You're the one who spread the pictures" I said.

The pictures of Hyomin and Jiyeon were definitely not from me.

It was captured from different angle.

If Hyomin just did listen to me I could explain myself.

Sadly, she doesn't want to listen anymore.

"So what if it's me? What will you do Qri? You can't kick me out of this school. You know that while me....I could spread the rumor around that both you and Eunjung likes the same girl." She said and smirked.

I just look at her boringly.

I know she's capable of doing that and I couldn't kick her out because her father is one of Eunjung's dad close friends but I don't want her to think and feel that I'm threatened.

"Spread the rumors around. Nobody would believe you" I said.

"I could see that you could care less about what the other students will say but....what if your parents especially your grandpa finds out?" She said.

I hate that she knows too much.

"I don't like Hyomin the way you're thinking" I denied.

Of course I can't let her keep that in mind.

"Oh really? Coz that's not the way I see it." She insisted.

Tsk.

She is so annoying.

"Whatever Inna. You can do anything you want. I don't care but I'm warning you. Stop bothering Hyomin!" I said and leave her.

I might slap her really hard if that conversation goes on.

She just ruined my mood once again!
