“You’re Wheein, right?” the blonde girl turned her head to see who was speaking to her and froze at her spot when she saw that it was none other than Moon Byulyi herself.

“Y-yes.” Wheein stuttered, too thrilled and surprised that the 'Ice Queen' was by her table and talking to her, and it didn’t help at all, that the girl knew her name.

Moonbyul smiled at her, - and you know, not everyone in school can say that - it was a rare sight “I’m sorry, I can’t help but notice how great you look, and I think, someone as beautiful as you should be a part of the Rainbow Bridge Vixens.”

Moonbyul said it so casually, as if she didn’t just open the cage of the butterflies inside Wheein’s stomach. 

Monbyul invited herself to sit across Wheein.

“There will be tryouts tomorrow, you should join.” The silver-haired girl stated.

“I don’t…” Wheein shakes her head, hesitating whether to decline the invitation because she's too shy to join a cheerleading squad. She knows how to dance but it's not like she’s good at it. She’s not sure that would be a great idea. Besides, she’s pretty sure Kim Yongsun doesn’t particularly like her.

“Oh come on, Wheepup,” Moonbyul offered.

Wheein couldn’t help but notice how easily a nickname slipped the other girl’s mouth. She's used to Byul and Yongsun calling other people names, but the one Byul gave her doesn't seem to be an insult for once. She didn't know if should address it. Because she's in no way a puppy. 

"I’m sure you’ll do great." the silver-haired girl assured her with a smile. "But if you’re that nervous about it, I can help you prepare." she offered.

And another compliment, Wheein swears, a butterfly might escape .

She bit her lip before nodding hesitantly.

"Really?" Moonbyul asked rhetorically. Of course, she knows Wheein would agree. Nobody has ever resisted her charms before.

Wheein didn’t know what she was thinking, why she thought even for a second that she would pass Kim Yongsun’s standards and become a part of the RB Vixens.

“Just because the Moon Byulyi suggested it, doesn’t mean you actually have to do it.” Hyejin remarked, leaning against the locker beside Wheein’s.

Okay, so she does know exactly why. But it’s also because Taehyung is on the football team now, and what better way to show her best friend support than to be his personal cheerleader? At least that’s what she reasons to Hyejin as she eyes her suspiciously.

“Wheein,” Hyejin sighs, “Moon Byulyi is nice but she sure as hell isn’t kind. You know that, right?”

“Look, I know that - it’s not like I’m expecting us to be besties, but she actually helped me and taught me some moves for the tryouts. Before yesterday, I didn’t even know she knew my name.”

“Exactly, Wheein, don’t you think this is all too suspicious?” Hyejin asked. She is thrilled that Wheein is trying something new for a change, and she wants to be supportive but she couldn’t help but be worried. Moonbyul smelled trouble.

If she was being honest. No. Wheein hasn't thought about that. She got too excited with the idea that Moonbyul actually liked her. “Do you even think I can say no to her? That would be equally, if not more, chaotic.” Wheein reasoned, silently wishing that Hyejin is wrong.

Jung Wheein, please proceed to the guidance office immediately.

After exchanging a glance, Hyejin accompanied Wheein to the office as soon as they heard the announcement through the speakers.

“Someone dropped those for you.” The guidance counselor said, pointing at the white flowers placed neatly at the top of the desk.

Hyejin dragged Wheein in front of the said flowers, immediately reading the card on it with intrigue, “Good luck on your tryouts. -MB” he read out loud. “MB?”

“Moon Byulyi?” Wheein replied immediately. She couldn’t wrap her mind around it either but she’s the only one who can actually pull off this kind of stunt.

“Okay, that is fifty shades of weird and romantic.” Hyejin remarked, equally impressed and intrigued with the gesture.

Before the blonde girl could say something, Moonbyul entered the room with a box of cupcakes in hand. She walked in as if she owned the place. 

“Hey, Wheepup. Did you like it?” she said, referring to the flowers.

And Wheein nodded, because how could she not? It’s the first time she received flowers from anyone. “Yes, thank you.” She liked them enough not to question it.

“Are you into Wheein?” Hyejin asked before she could stop herself. How dare she question Moon Byulyi? She wanted to put a tape over and sink into the ground - sometimes run faster than her mind could process. She could only hope that the ice queen was in a good mood so as to not be the next target of her wrath. 

Moonbyul only smiles playfully, “Well,
