Myungsoo looked at the other corner and felt a little disappointed when he didn't see Yul there. Why wasn't she in school? "Hey bro," Sungyeol smiled as he entered the class. "Lee Sungyeol! Instead of a 'hey bro' why don't you 'hey teacher',YOU'RE LATE!" Teacher Seo screeched. "Arasseoyo. Hey ssem. Sorry i'm late,can I sit?" Sungyeol asked playfully. "Eish. Whatever." she rolled her eyes before turning to the board.

A little moment after,Yul entered the class with her head hung low. "Hey ssem." she greeted without looking up and made her way to the corner. Myungsoo found it weird why she was hanging her head low. She immediately rested her chin on the table and blocked her face with her textbook. Teacher Seo looked at Yul in disbelief,but still not uttering a word,she resumed her lesson.

"Bro stop staring at Yul yo. You like her don't you?" Sungyeol whispered. Myungsoo just couldn't help but to give Sungyeol a good smack on the head. "She's our friend,I'm just worried." he scowled before turning to Yul once again. "Geez okay." Sungyeol muttered,rubbing his head at the same time. Myungsoo turned back to Sungyeol abruptly. "Please start acting like a friend too."

Yul hung her head low again as she walked to the cafeteria,only to bump into Jinah. She smirked and lifted Yul's head up. "Did you receive a good beating yesterday?" she asked. Yul slapped her hand away as she glared at Jinah. "I didn't knew you would stoop so low just to get revenge. Why? Did your oh-so-goodie father confronted you that you couldn't help but to call a bunch of men to hit me? How pathetic." Yul remarked.

"Yes I would stoop so low just to do that. What can you do about it?" Jinah scoffed. "Seems like your oh-so-goodie father isn't oh-so-goodie after all. To have a daughter like you,if I were him i'd rather die." Yul continued insulting. "You little ,you just don't know when to stop do you?" Jinah glared. "Apparently I don't. So what are you going to do about it? Hit me? Come on then." she challenged as she tapped on her own face. "Hit me."

Jinah raised her hand,wanting to slep the daylights out of Yul but unfortunately,a hand grabbed Jinah's before she could even strike. "What the..." Jinah mumbled. Myungsoo pushed Yul away and stood in front of Jinah. "Did you do it to her?" he asked. "Do what?" Jinah scoffed,yanking her hand out of Myungsoo's grip. "Her face."

"Kim Myungsoo,who are you to ask me and demand for an answer? You're just a welfare student." Jinah scoffed. "So what?" Myungsoo said. "So what? So learn where you stand and don't act like a stuck up jerk." Jinah scowled. "Me? A stuck up je-..." "Unni." a voice from behind echoed the empty hallway. The 4 turned to the back,only to see the 2nd queen of the school,Eun Hana.

"Unni stop it and just go eat your lunch." Hana said as she walked towards them with a guy behind her back. Jinah turned to Myungsoo. "You're lucky,i'm letting you off today." she gave the 3 of them one final glare before she walked off. "Eun Hana! What are you doing here?" Myungsoo exclaimed. "Oppa,you forgot that I attend this school too?" Hana asked as she smiled. "Hyung!" Sungjong waved. "Oh,you're Sungjong right? The guy who showed me around?" Myungsoo asked,earning a nod.

"How did you know Hana?" Sungyeol asked,still not knowing that his hands are on both of Yul's shoulder. "My dad works for her dad,and her dad kind of sponsered me for the transfer to Jungdae." Myungsoo said before turning to Yul and lifted her chin up,examining her face. "Are you okay?" he asked. "Yea...t-thanks..." she stammered.

Hana glanced at Yul before pulling Myungsoo to another corner. "Oppa,why are you hanging out with Yul? She's dangerous!" she hissed. "She seems pretty nice to me. I guess if you don't offend her,she won't hit you then." Myungsoo shrugged. "Oppa,stop hanging out with her. It's for your own good!" Hana urged somemore. "Hana,you can't tell me who to hang out with or not. I get that's she dangerous,because people kept on bothering her,gossiping about her and insulting her. You saw what Jinah did! Everybody deserves a chance." Myungsoo said as he gently pulled his hand out of Hana's grip before returning to Sungyeol and Yul.

Then don't I deserve a chance? Hana silently thought before walking away. "Oh Hana! Where are you going?" Sungjong exclaimed. "Oh i'm not eating. Eat with them." Hana smiled sadly as she walked away. "Okay.." Sungjong mumbled before turning to the 3. "Let's go shall we? I'm starving." Sungyeol snapped.

The 4 of them quickly grabbed their plates and took some food before sitting down. Since Yul was so embarrassed of her face,they couldn't take their own sweet time,since they're her friends. "Sungjong,I can't believe you haven't acknowledge me yet." Sungyeol glared. "Yea yea. Because no one can believe it anyways!" Sungjong rolled his eyes as he continued eating. "Believe what?" Myungsoo asked.

Sungyeol was about to speak when Sungjong cut him off. "Don't." he glared at him. "Sungjong's my younger brother." Sungyeol said,making Yul choke on her food. Myungsoo passed her a bottle of water which she drank almost immediately. "I told you so!" Sungjong stuck out his tongue. "You guys seriously don't have any similarities." Myungsoo said without looking up from his food.

"Sungjong,what do you think about Yul?" Myungsoo asked,causing Yul to look at Sungjong. "Uh..." he narrowed his eyes to us,then to her,then to us again. "Don't worry,she won't hit you when i'm around." Myungsoo said. "Honestly?" Sungjong awkwardly smiled. "Honestly."

"I'm scared of you,honestly. I think you're dangerous." Sungjong said. Yul nodded quietly before turning back to her food. "Noona!" someone yelled and the next thing they knew,a guy plopped himself next to Yul and began examining her face. "Ya!" she hissed,slapping his hand away. "Dude,I take that as back off." Sungyeol warned. "What's wrong with your face? Who hit you? Kwon Jinah?" the guy asked again. Yul looked behind as she saw his classmates gasping and gossiping. "Daehyun ah,stop it. You're embarrassing yourself." Yul pushed him away.

"Dude what's your-..." before Myungsoo could continue,Daehyun started yelling. "Who the hell hurt my sister?!" Yul pinched the bridge of her nose in frustration as she forced her eyes shut. "You have a brother?" the 3 of them chorused. Yul cursed under her breath as she got up and covered Daehyun's mouth before dragging him somewhere else.

"Noona!" he exclaimed and yanked her hand off his face. "You are ruining your reputation! Aren't you popular in Jungdae? How does it feel to have a hooligan sister hated by the school? Aren't you ashamed of me?" Yul snapped. "Noona,I was never ashamed of you. You got hurt and you expect me to just be calm and not do anything about it? Hell no! Hooligan or not,public enemy or not,you're still my sister." Daehyun said as he clenched his jaw before walking away.

Yul sighed as she walked back to the cafeteria,only to see the students still gaping in shock. "What are you looking at?! Just eat your damn food! Daehyun isn't my brother!" she frantically yelled before sitting down with the 3. "So is Daehyun your brother or not?" Sungyeol whispered,earning a smack on the head by Myungsoo. "Can't you see that she's frustrated? Do you wanna get beaten up?" he hissed. "Okay okay..sorry..." Sungyeol muttered as he rubbed his head.

Since it was still around the beginning of the year,the school held mini carnivals once a month for the first 3 months,and one of them happens to be today. The 4 of them went to the huge garden of the school and looked around,there were balloons everywhere and it was mostly crowded with students. There were booths and a big stage. As they went further in,a bunch of guitars caught Myungsoo's attention.

"Ya Myungsoo,me and Sungjong are just going to play for a while,we'll see you later!" Sungyeol exclaimed as he dragged Sungjong away,leaving Myungsoo and Yul behind. Myungsoo sat on one of the chairs as he watched some guys setting up the instruments on the stage. Not wanting to be alone,Yul sat next to him and waited.

The setting up was done pretty quickly,after all that,one guy took the mic and smiled towards the crowd. "Hello,as all of you know,we're the official band from Jungdae called 'Skull' and we'll be performing the song called 'The Chaser'." he winked towards the audience as he put the mic on the mic stand.

They started playing,which shocked Myungsoo. It was the first time he has heard a band this good,plus this was a school band,not a street band. The guy earlier stepped forth towards the mic and started singing as he strummed his electric guitar. Myungsoo hadn't notice the group of girls behind him,but they started screaming and squealing,making Yul grimace from the high pitched noise.

"Hona nae mamkkaji jobeun gonanya."

The performance ended fast and the band politely bowed towards the audience and left the stage. An idea popped up in Myungsoo's mind,making him stand up abruptly. Noticing this,Yul stood up as well and followed Myungsoo like a lost puppy,after all,he's like one of the only friends she have. Myungsoo trudged to the backstage but stopped there. He turned to Yul and bit his lips nervously. "Do you think they'd let me join the band?" he asked. "I don't know..." Yul shrugged. "But it's worth a try."

Myungsoo took a deep breath as he approached the lead singer. "Uh...excuse me,do you think I can join the band?" Myungsoo asked. The guy looked up from his guitar and smiled. "You have a handsome face there,lad. My name's Woohyun." he said and ed his hand out for a handshake. "My name's Myungsoo." he said and quietly shook his hand. "Ah,the new transfer student. But not anyone can join our band." Woohyun smiled.

"What instrument do you play?" Woohyun asked. "The guitar." Myungsoo said quietly. Woohyun looked back and yelled, "Hoya! Will you bring an acoustic guitar here? Someone wants to join the band!"

A few moments later another guy came with an acoustic guitar in his hand. "Hello,my name's Howon,but you can call me Hoya." he smiled as he passed Myungsoo the guitar. Nervous,Myungsoo glanced at Yul. "You can do it." she mouthed and smiled a little. Woohyun and Hoya looked at each other before they looked at Jung Yul,they were both curious on how she's being so gentle with the new transferee but did not dare to ask.

Myungsoo pressed his delicate fingers on the strings as he strummed the guitar with his other hand,creating a melodious harmony. Since it was a self composed song,Myungsoo obviously put in singing parts. He took a deep breath before he started singing as well,fully concentrated on the guitar at the same time.

Impressed,Woohyun nodded his head a little before turning to Hoya. "What do you think?" he mouthed. Hoya glanced at Myungsoo and then back to Woohyun. "Accepted." Hoya mouthed back. Myungsoo's self composed song ended after 2 minutes,he stood up from the chair and looked at the 2 lads in front of him. "You have great talent Myungsoo ssi." Hoya smiled. "And therefore we're accepting you into our band. Welcome to the team." Woohyun smiled as he patted Myungsoo's back.

Well that was easier than I thought...Myungsoo thought silently. Myungsoo and Yul left the backstage and sighed. "Do you sing?" Myungsoo asked as he turned to Yul. "Nopes. But my brother does." she said. "Daehyun? So he really is your brother? Why are you so sensitive about people knowing the sibling relationship?" Myungsoo furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

"Daehyun is popular,in Jungdae. If everybody knows that the official female hooligan of the school is his sister,wouldn't that ruin his reputation?" Yul scoffed pathetically towards herself. "Official female hooligan? What pathetic title is that?" Myungsoo scowled. He turned to Yul and smiled. "You're gonna change,and i'm going to help you whether you like it or not."

"You're not afraid of me?" Yul asked as she examinined the almost-healed bruise on the side of Myungsoo's face. "Well...I already got hit once." Myungsoo made a face as he pointed at his bruise. "But there's nothing to be afraid off. If i'm nice,then you're nice,no?"

Yul nodded in agreement as she looked at the distant sky. God,are you sending Kim Myungsoo here to change me? If you are,then father,you should know that i'm truly grateful for your actions. -Amen
