“What in the name of-” Junhee winced as the nurse started applying ointment to her bruise.
When she and Hyemi had stepped in the restroom, one of the heavy metal doors slammed on them, good thing none of them were hurt badly.
Chunji was leaning on the wall, arms crossed. Hyemi was quiet as the nurse tended to the bruise on her forehead.
“Hee-”
“Who did that? Why would they want to hurt Hyemi?” Junhee asked.
Himchan swallowed and looked at Hyemi.
He knew why. He was the reason. If only he never gave her the red card. This wouldnt have happened.
Himchan blinked to himself.
“Uhm, Himchan sunbae.”
He looked up, Hyemi was speaking to him.
“Yes?”
Hyemi turned her gaze towards the two freshmen students in front of him.
“I found this at the floor at the restroom, sunbaenim.”
Himchan looked at the metal nameplate.
SONG JUNSEOK – 3B
Himchan curled his fist around the item and stormed out of the room.
Hyemi jumped lightly as he slammed the doors shut.
“Uh-oh.” Chunji shook his head.
“What do you think he would do?” Junhee asked.
“Well, you and Hyemi got hurt, I think he would beat the guy into a bloody pulp.” Chunji nodded.
“...What?!” Hyemi looked at the two.
“Oppa’s mood has not been well. He doesnt like this kind of stuff.“ Junhee shook her head.
“You dont really mean that he would beat that student right?” Hyemi turned to Chunji.
“What do you think?” Chunji tilted his head to one side.
Hyemi stood up and ran after the other male.
“Sunbae! Please give me a chance!” Song Junseok of class 3B pleaded as Himchan pushed him to the wall. His nose and lip were both bleeding.
“You hurt two people.” He hissed.
Students were starting to gather around them, gosipping.
“I thought Shin Hyemi was one of your enemies. You wanted to get rid of her.”
“Well not anymore.” Himchan spat.
“And, one of those girls you just hurt was my cousin.”
“Sunbae, I didn’t know! I’m sorry!”
“Sorry? If apologies work why do we need the police?” Himchan grabbed his collar.
“Hurt Shin Hyemi again and you’re going to get it from me.” He was about to raise his hand but he felt someone hold on to it.
“Stop.” A firm voice said.
Himchan turned. Hyemi was looking at him.
“Shin Hyemi.” He blurted.
“It’s not worth it. Violence isnt the answer to everything, sunbae. Let him go.”
Himchan looked at her, Hyemi stared back then she offered him a quick smile. Himchan put his arm down and pushed the junior away from him.
“The next time any of you touches my cousin and Shin Hyemi will be answering to me, got it?!” Himchan said to the crowd.
“Daebak.” Junhee grinned as she watched everything unfold.
“One girl can actually stop him.” Kai said in wonder. Daehyun smiled.
“I never expected this, they really hated each other guts.” Chunji chuckled as the students started to disperse. Then Himchan was walking to them.
“Are you okay?” He asked. Junhee nodded and patted her cousin’s shoulder.
“Oppa. That was cool.”
“What are you saying?”
“Standing up for Hyemi that way. I mean, Hyemi unnie.” She smiled.
“Hee-”
“Dont deny it, oppa.”
