The next day, the school halls were already filled with gossip about Jungah and Kris.

Jungah received more staring than usual. She tried not to let it bother her, but she could feel the eyes drilling into the back of her skull. Jungah grew annoyed and slammed her locker shut. She spun around and brazenly glared at the gossiping girls. They quickly looked away and scuttled off.

*What the now? Why are all of them staring at me like I have two heads?* Shaking her head, Jungah headed to class.

Fifteen minutes later, Kris came striding into the school with his backpack strap over one broad shoulder. He warily glanced around in awareness. The hair on his back bristled at all the stares. *Why does it seem like everyone is staring at me? What are they whispering to each other?* His eyebrow twitched in anxiety, and his heart clenched in alarm. *Don’t tell me…they found out about my true identity? .*

Kris entered the classroom. Everyone looked up at once, and he became rigid. His eyes focused on Jungah in the corner and relaxed a bit. Coolly, Kris approached his desk and sat down. The gossip became louder.

Kris raised an eyebrow. Jungah paused the song and glanced upwards.

“Did you hear about that new kid and Jungah?”

“They double-tagged Jiwan and Haeri!”

“It was couples versus couples!”

“They beat the out of Haeri and Jiwan. I heard they had to go to the hospital.”

“Can you believe it that Jungah and the exchange student are dating? What the hell does he see in her?”

Jungah gritted her teeth and gripped so tightly onto her ipod that her knuckles turned pale. Kris tried hard not to laugh. *I wasn’t worry for anything. They were only talking about yesterday. High school students and their gossip.* He shook his head and glanced at Jungah to gauge her reaction.

Her knuckles had turned completely white now. She shut her eyes and put up the volume on her ipod.

Kris chuckled. *She isn’t taking it so well.*

The entire day was filled with gossip. The news of Kris and Jungah would not die down. In fact, it only grew worse. By the end of the day, ridiculous rumors were floating around. Jungah was leaving the school, but she heard a bunch of scandalous gossip from a horde of girls.

“Did you hear? Jungah and Kris actually live together. The only reason he came to this school is because she’s here.”

“Kris forced Jungah to become his slave.”

“Jungah paid Kris to pretend he’s her boyfriend. That’s how much of a desperate she is.”

Jungah raised an eyebrow. *Seriously? Do you really want me to show you how much of a ‘desperate ’ I can be?*

Kris appeared behind her. He glanced at the girls then looked down at Jungah. A smirk appeared on his face. *Someone is about to explode in 3…2…1.*

“Kris stole Jungah’s ity. I heard they have wild everywhere every single day.” One girl spoke.

Jungah threw her backpack on the ground. * this . My nonexistent life is none of their business.*

Kris watched Jungah storm towards the girls.

“Oh no!” The girls panicked and gasped as the angry bull who saw her target stormed their way. Several ran away. The few that was bold enough to remain gulped. Jungah stopped in front of the girl who had last spoken and glared at her, “, you want to say that in my face?” She uncomfortably swallowed hard and diverted her eyes someplace else.

Jungah eyed the rest of the girls, “I hear any of you talking crap behind my back, and I’ll make sure you can’t come back to school for the next month. So shut your botox lips, and quit talking about me and that exchange kid.” She turned and walked away to pick up her backpack.

Behind her, one girl muttered, “Why is she so pissed now? It’s nothing new that we talk crap about her.”

Jungah stopped Her hands balled into fists. Another girl whispered, “She’s just overreacting because everything we said is true. She’s a e for him-“

Jungah spun around. The girls gasped loudly and squeezed together. She stormed towards them. They squirmed anxiously and glanced around. Jungah lifted up her sleeves, “You all need a good smacking before you shut up, huh?!”

Right when she lunged towards them, someone grabbed her waist from behind. The girls gaped at the person who dared hold Jungah's waist. Jungah struggled, “What the -“ She looked up and stopped. Her eyes widened.

Kris looked down at her, “Don’t pick a fight when the opponent is worthless.”

The insult flew over the girls’ heads. They were too busy gaping at Kris and Jungah and trying to assess the situation.

“Come on.” He grabbed her wrist and dragged her away.

Jungah was too stunned to do anything. Then behind her, she heard, “I told you so.”

*FREAKING-* Jungah spun around and tried to beat the girls down, but Kris kept a firm hold on her and tugged on her arm. Jungah scowled as Kris dragged her out of the gate. When they were a good distance away from the school, he stopped and released her.

“What the hell?! Why’d you stop me?! Those es were talking about you, too!” Jungah hissed.

“You were trying to defend me? I’m honored.” Kri
