Hyemi stopped, in front of the court.

“Oh, you came.” Daehyun gave her a smile.

Hyemi gaped at the three female students who were hanging on the ring.

“Hyemi, we’re so sorry!”

“We didn’t mean to do it!”

“They went on their own.” A voice said from behind her.

“...You..didn’t...stop them?”

Himchan shook his head at her.

“Sunbae, are you crazy?” Hyemi’s eyes widened.

“Hyemi, I-”

“Would please get down from there?” Hyemi looked up. Immediately, the three girls untied theirselves from the ring and started to climb down.

“They were backstabbing you.” Himchan said.

“I didn’t care about then, sunbae.”

“So you just let people trample over you?!” Himchan retorted. Hyemi frowned.

“I didnt let them-”

“Well you did, just by earlier. You were hiding the whole day, Shin Hyemi.”

Hyemi looked away.

“And if you ask me why I can say that, because you’re afraid of what you might hear from them. Where was the girl who punched me in the face? She was hiding just because of those rumors.”

“You dont understand.”

“I told you many times, that you had..F4’s backing. Why would you hide?”

“That’s our cue, guys.” Junhee grinned.

“Should we get some ice cream?” Kai asked. Junhee looped her arm around Daehyun’s.

“I want pistachio.” She replied.

“Oh, right. Hee you dont have practice with Lay?” Daehyun asked.

Chunji looked up. Kai looked away to hide his smile.

“Later, in a few hours, thats why we’re eating now.”

“Ask Lay to join  us, then.” Daehyun said.

Junhee slowly nodded and got her phone.

“Unicorn?...I’m hungry. Let’s eat together.”

Hyemi scoffed and turned away from him.

“Stop being like this. If you need help, just say you need help. You can’t be strong always, you’ll need others too.” Himchan said.

“Yes, that means I have to hang them on walls too, right?” Hyemi retorted without turning to him.

“Hyemi, I told you, they did-”

“I dont care, sunbae.” She said as she walked towards the exit.

Himchan frowned as he watched her leave.
