Narrator's POV

"Song Sarang, are you coming with us?" Danielle asked as the group of freshmen finished putting on their coats

"sure, why not" Anneliese shrugged slipping on her coat. The 10 of them walked out of the lounge.

They were shunned, considered lower than the Social Care Group. As they were at the entrance, someone roughly shoved Jay to the side, making him stumble.

"yah" Daniel said grabbing the boy's collar

"ani. Youngjae-ah, let it go" Jay said keeping his composure. Daniel shoved the boy away

"stupid 3rd class" Daniel said

"I'm a 3rd class" Jay chuckled

"but you're the good 3rd class" Daniel said "he's one of those douchey 3rd classmen" 

"nice save" Sky chuckled "come on, we're supposed to meet them at Coffee Beanery"

"Coffee Beanery? Why can't we meet them at Starbucks?" Jade asked

"ew unnie, coffee" Youngmin said scrunching up her face "why can't we go to ChaTime? or Cafe Hana?"

"sushi?" Princess asked "I'm cool with that"

"nado" Jayden nodded

"I'll call em" Sky said getting her phone out "yeobosayo? Yoongi-ah, change of plans. Go to Cafe Hana instead of Coffee Beanery. Arasso? oh, keuneo"

"let's go" Adrian said.

"bwoh? Cafe Hana?" Melody asked "that big restaurant in the Seoul Circle?"

"oh" Suga nodded "kaja"

"yah, Min Suga" Kris said "I don't feel like moving"

"then you won't get any sushi" Baekhyun said

"you've been there hyung?" James asked

"yeah. Jinri brought me there for our 1 month anniversary" he said "let's go~ It was really good!"

"omo" Amber said looking at her phone "I have schedule. Mian, tell Jay that I'm sorry"

"aish" CL said "Minzy-ah, us too. We gotta go"

"eodi?" Kylie asked

"2NE1 and Big Bang shoot." CL said "mian"

"is anyone else leaving?" David asked crossing his arms

"I have to" Sunhwa said pecking her boyfriend's cheek goodbye

"nado" Yeonjun said doing the same action to James

"so do I" Changsub stood up

"me too" Yooyoung pouted "tell Jayden that our date's still on tomorrow"

"maybe" Bora said taking a glance at Sehun, before quickly darting her eyes away

"don't worry, I will" Sehun reassured watching the crowd of them leave.

"well that leaves us, EXO, and them two" Layla said to freshmen group

"what are we waiting for? let's go" Jungkook said grabbing Kylie's hand and dragging her outside.

"annyeonghaseyo. Welcome to Cafe Hana, do you have a reservation?" the receptionist smiled

"deh, we're with Yoon Jinri" Baekhyun said

"Yoon Jinri...chesunghamnida, we don't have a reservation under that name" she said

"but Haneul said that Jade made dinner here" Suga said

"oh! You mean Miss Jade" the receptionist said "I'll call her over"

"Miss Jade?" Bora asked

"deh" the receptionist said pressing a button on her bluetooth. In a few minutes, a girl walked down the marble staircase. The idols barely recognized her with the accented makeup and hair-do

"you called for me?" she said

"deh Miss" the receptionist bowed "these young ladies and gentlemen say that they are here for your dinner plan"

"ah neh. If you please, put their coats in my room and them to the table. I have some word with my father-"

"no need to come and find me, I'm right here" a man said coming from the elevator

"appa" Jade smiled giving him a hug. Half a dozen waiters took the idols' coats and brought them up the elevator to Jade's room.

"Baekhyun, it's great to see you, boy" Mr. Yoon said giving him a warm hug

"deh, it's great to see you too abeonim" he nodded

"abeonim?" Sehun asked "appa!"

"yah" Jade hissed at him

"aigoo, it's great to see you EXO, boys" he chuckled and looked at the unfamiliar girls and boys "are these your friends dear?"

"sure" Jade forced a smile

"so, you needed to talk to me?" he asked

"oh appa. After our dinner, can we go upstairs and hang in my room? We won't cause a ruckus, promise" Jade said

"sure, just no ordering 2 boxes of soju like last time" he said sternly

"ara, you and umma got sooo mad at me" she giggled

"well why wouldn't we be. You had to be a good example for your brother" he said and kissed her temple "appa has to go now, be a good girl. Don't do anything we would be disappointed in"

"deh appa" she said. Jade returned to the table filled with idols and heirs/heiresses. So much tension was present and she cleared "have you decided on what you wanted to eat?"

"we don't have any money to-"

"it's okay, my father won't charge any of this. Order whatever you want" Jade smiled

"why are you being so nice?" Bora asked bluntly "do you want something"

"I have a proposal" Jade said getting to the point "but...I'm not going to spill it here"

"why not?" David asked

"there are cameras and reporters here, they're thirsty for something. We'll talk upstairs in Jinri's room after eating" Danielle said

"so right now, let's be civil?" Jay said. The large majority of them were very good actors. Since Rachel exploited their love lives, the couples had no problem showing off their affection, a bit awkward and disgusting for the singles and loners

"hajimara" Kris gagged, finishing a crepe.

"Miss Jade, is there anything else for you?" the waiter asked

"aniyo. If we need anything, we will call service from my suite. Thank you" Jade nodded leading them up to the glass elevator and to the top floor. She pressed the lock code from the transmitter and unlocked the door. The suite was absolutely amazing. The arch of the door from the inside were lined with real gems. When you entered the girl's bedroom, 20 jade gems were above the headboard of her bed, spelling her name. Everyone gathered around the living room and sat around the circular table. Princess cleared

"we all called you here to form an alliance" she said

"an alliance for what?" James asked

"against Rachel?" Layla hoped and the Jeguk students nodded. The girl beamed and clapped her hands happily "I'm in"

"you guys all know that we are all basically the same now" Sky pointed out

"what are you saying?" Bora asked

"we all basically are traitors. Us for liking idols, and idols for disobeying their agencies. We are no different" Sky said

"no that is a huge lie" David chuckled

"but still, we have a plan against Rachel. If you want to get her back too, you're welcome to join us" Jayden said

"what's the plan?" Lay asked

"ruining her public image" Jade said holding her phone out "In my phone, I hold her deepest secret"

"which is?" Melody asked

"her and Hyoshin sunbae having " Jade said flipping her phone in hand

"how is school over at Kirin?"Adrian asked

"got kinda worse. People started to hate us" Kylie said "and you guys?"

"we're lower than the Social Care Group" Daniel scoffed "bull"

"anyway" D.O said trying to move on the conversation "so we'll need to team up? EXO's cool with it"

"we're all fine with it-"

"um no we're not" Anneliese said cutting Jade off "I am not working with him"

"wae?" Jade asked giving her a glare

"I'm just not" Anneliese said justly

"yah Song Sarang. Kyungsoo is one of the sweetest boys I know. He wouldn't hurt a fly" Jade defended him

"that's where you're wrong Jinri" Anneliese said

"aish chincha" Danielle said looking at Anneliese "fine, don't join. But when them es at the school are ruining you, we won't help okay?"

"if that's the case...then I'm in" Anneliese said defeated

"and the rest of you?" Jay asked the idols. EXO was in, so was Suga, Jungkook had a little difficulty cooperating with Jayden in the room, but Kylie was in and so was he. David agreed, so did Melody and James. Layla got in, giddy with the plan of getting revenge on Rachel.

"Bora...?" Jade said, trying her best to sound gentle

"I don't know" she answered looking away. Jade stood up and grabbed her wrist, dragging her to another part of the suite

"I know we had troubles, but please. We can't do this without your help" Jade pleaded "I know we're not best friends anymore. But Kai is, and so are the other idols in your year of debut. Please Bora-ya, we need you...I need you"

"I never knew I'd see the day when the great Yoon Jinri is begging me" Bora said, but saw the sincerity in her eyes "okay"

"thank you" Jade said gratefully and hurried back on to where the rest were "we're all in"

"great. Let's get started with the plan"
