After finishing her drink, Ju Min went back into the room where the translator and the prisoner was.

" So what did he say? " Ju Min asked the translator who held a grief expression. 

" He said, Teen Top plans to help Exo-M's rivals in bring their parents down, which equals to destroying you. " the translator said while rubbing his hands together. 

" So Exo-M isn't a target. But a bait to go after me?! " Ju Min shouted and the translator winced at Ju Min's loud voice.

" Yes, young miss. " The translator whimpered under Ju Min's icy gaze. Even the prisoner shook, afraid of what might happen to him. He started to hyperventilate when Ju Min made her way towards him with her knife. 

She raised her hand and brought it down, cutting to rope that bound his hands together. " Go to Seoul Hospital. Bomi's about to enter the operation room. " Ju Min said and the prisoner stood there before signing, ' Aren't you going to kill me? ' 

Ju Min understood part of it and shook her head. " I never go back on my words. Go. " She nodded towards the door and the prisoner nodded.

" Wait! " Ju Min called out and the prisoner turned around, confused. 

" What's your name? " Ju Min asked and the prisoner signed, ' Lee Minwoo ' 

* Lee Minwoo and Yoon Bomi. I hope you guys have a long and healthy relationship. *

The next day, Ju Min went to school with a bandage over the bullet graze and newly dyed Burgundy red hair. Walking through the half empty hallways, people looked at her injured hand and started gossiping about her being in a fight. 

But Exo-M was most shocked when they saw the bandage while Exo-K didn't wince at all. They were used to her going back to school in casts or with a few purple bruises. 

As usual, the maknae line came bounding over to Ju Min who was at her locker. 

" Annyeong Ju Min! " Sehun said with a smile before pulling on her good hand, " What happened to you? " 

Ju Min gave a I'll-explain-later face and Sehun nodded, knowing that she would tell him when Exo-M weren't around. 

" Mei mei! What happened to your hand? " Tao asked and Ju Min shook her head, " I accidentaly cut myself with a dagger during training. " She fibbed. 

" Okay. Be careful next time, mei. " Tao said without a hint of suspicion. Lay looked at Ju Min's arm while leaning against a row of lockers with his hands in his pockets. * That is not just any dagger injury. * 

The first bell rang and everyone headed for classes. However, Soo Jin and her new gang stood infront of Ju Min, blocking her access to her class. 

" Yes, Soo Jin? " Ju Min said with a fake smile. * . * 

Plastering on another fake smile, Soo Jin twirled her now jet black hair. " Did you hurt yourself? " She asked in a sickly sweet tone.

" Thanks for the worry, but I'm fine and recovering. " Ju Min said, her left eye twitching, knowing the fact that she'll be late for class.

" You sure you're fine? " Soo Jin said, but Ju Min caught the gesturing she made to her friends who sneakily made their way to Ju Min.

" Appreciate the friendliness, but I really need to head to class. " Ju Min said before sprinting off to vocals class and found two of the Exo-M members already there. 

" Hi Luhan, Chen! " Ju Min beamed and waved her hand to which Luhan and Chen returned by waving back. Ju Min went to the back of the class and waited for the teacher to arrive. 

But before that, gossip and rumors started to spread around about Ju Min's bullet graze. * Here we go again. * 

" Can you all just shut up?! " Luhan slammed his fist on the table, startling those sitting around him. Apparently, he had heard some very nasty remarks from the girls and he couldn't hold back his anger. 

" Girls like you who pick on my friends are disgusting and a waste of my time. " He snapped before sitting down, causing the girls to feel rejected. 

But somehow, that warm feeling of being protected spread through Ju Min's body. She has not feel that way since her brother and family members had died. She would just keep training and training.

* He reminds me of my brother, Xihan. Up to this day, I still do not know why he has a Chinese name and I have a Korean one. Even his surname is different. Why? *

The day did not even pass by smoothly. Ju Min was smouldered with insults and gossips from fangirls she didn't even knew. 

By the end of the day, half the female population in the school was against her and wanted her ot of the school. But she had to hold in her anger lest she wants the school to find out that she's an undercover agent. 

Trudging to the bus stop, more fan girls threw insults at her while gossiping about her bullet graze.

" She said that it was a dagger accident, but in the first place, why does she have a dagger with her? "

" Don't know. Maybe she's an assassin who is out to kill EXO! "

Listening to the girls' comments and remarks, Ju Min almost died laughing. An assassin? Ju Min was the direct opposite of an assassin. She may kill, but not without reason. 

" I heard, that when she had blonde hair before, she went to a club and hooked up with a drugger. "

That last comment made her freeze up, but she remained composed and calm.

" What a freak show and a taint to our school. " 

" So much for being envious of her. She's just another . " 

" She doesn't deserve Lay ge, she will just ruin his reputation. I mean, what does he see in her?! "

" When Luhan ge defended her in class and called her a friend, I wondered what was going on in his mind to be so blind to accept Freak Min as a friend. " 

Of all the times she had been dissed or humiliated, Ju Min has never felt so worthless before. She was fine when people called her a behind her back. She was even better when her 'friends' ditched her after being close to Exo-K. 

But never, had she felt stupid or useless after those few girls mentioned that Lay and Luhan wer blind and stupid. By those few comments, Ju Min sensed her whole world crashing down on her. 

For the second time in her life after her brother's death, she felt hot tears streaming down her face. Her red hair got in the way and the tears managed to dampen it, making Ju Min look like a ghost. 

A few seconds passed and Ju Min heard gasps. Suddenly, she felt something wet and cold touch her face and she finally looked up. Standing in front of her was Chanyeol. 

" Pretty girls should not be crying, especially if she's EXO's girl. " Chanyeol easily declared that Ju Min belonged to EXO, evoking more gasps from the girls. 

" Let's get you back to our dorm. The others are waiting there. " Chanyeol pulled Ju Min along, not allowing her to escape so easily. 

" Chanyeol! Let go of me!! " Ju Min struggled to get out of Chanyeol's strong grip as the latter just kept smiling and dragging her by force. 

---

Ding Dong! Ding Dong!

Chanyeol had managed to pulled Ju Min to Exo-K's dorm where all 6 members were sharing, even after she tried to escape. 

" I hate you, Park Chanyeol. " Ju Min hissed. Chanyeol still had his strong grip on Ju Min and was smiling from ear to ear. 

Ding dong! Ding dong! Ding dong! 

* Why aren't they opening the door?! * Chanyeol rang the bell once more before the shuffling of feet were heard and the door finally opened to reveal a yawning Sehun. 

" Hyung, you're back. " Sehun yawned before taking a double take at who's behind Chanyeol. 

" MINNIE!!! " Sehun ran out of the dorm and engulfed Ju Min in a tight hug and she felt pain shoot up from her wound. 

" Sehun. Arm. Injured. " Ju Min pointed and Sehun immediately pried himself of her while rubbing the back of his neck and muttering a soft 'sorry'. 

Stepping into the dorm, she could see the floor cluttered with pieces of rubbish, clothes, and even pieces of paper. 

Ju Min walked over to a familiar black and white boxer and using her index finger, she picked it up and looked at the person. 

" What did I say about leaving this here, Oh Sehun? " Ju Min chided the red face boy. Taking the item from her, Sehun ran into the room and hid his belongings there. 

Just then, a familiar face popped up from behind the kitchen doors, " Ju Min! You're here! " 

Ju Min faced the kitchen and nodded, " D.O oppa, are you cooking? " 

D.O nodded and gestured her to come inside the kitchen. " Kimchi spaghetti again, oppa? " Ju Min asked and D.O shrugged, " They kept bugging me for it. "

Ju Min looked in the fridge and found some ingredients to make a chocolate smoothie. Taking out the ice, chocolate syrup and yogurt, Ju Min placed everything into the blender and blended everything together before pouring it out into 7 individual glasses. 

" Here, oppa. " Ju Min held out a glass to D.O who was transferring the noodles over to a serving plate. Placing the pan back onto the stove, D.O took the glass from Ju Min and sipped on it before giving a thumbs up. " It's nice! " 

" GUYS! Dinner! " D.O shouted and five other heads popped out from behind the kitchen door. 

" Spaghetti! Ooo! Smoothie! " Sehun was immediately distracted by the chocolate smoothie on the table. But just as he was about to grab one, Ju Min smaked his hand away and gave him a hard look, " After actual food, do you get yur smoothies. " 

Sehun pouted as Ju Min took the smoothies to the fridge, " But I'm your oppa and I demand for smoothies! " Sehun cutely stomped his feet but Ju Min just placed the smoothies inside and closed the door. 

" But do you have a dagger? " Ju Min said, taking out her dagger and Sehun immediately turned pale. " I'm hungry! " He announced while the other started cracking up.
