Chapter One

A punch landed on the lifeless looking face. And another. And yet another. Hyuna's gaze bored into the begging eyes of her victim. Groans and whimpers of mercy escaped from the swollen, bleeding lips of the poor guy. But as usual, the girl showed none. 

"You should've thought twice before messing with us." Hyuna deviously smirked, before delivering her final and strongest punch, knocking out the guy. She stood up, brushed the blood off her hands, and straightened her elegant, skin-tight black dress. A tight, friendly grip landed on her bare shoulder.

"Ooooh... this one's definitely landing in the hospital." Jiyoon stated, amused as she examined the badly bruised and bleeding face of the unconscious guy. 

Hyuna simply shrugged, "He deserves it for thinking that he could outsmart us."

"That's my girl," Jiyoon chuckled at the younger girl, before patting her back and running off to help the others. 4minute had received information that their supplier had shortchanged them by switching their top quality weapons with fake cheap ones. Once they affirmed the information, they stormed towards the abandoned warehouse, ready to give these smartasses a piece of 4minute's wrath. This is what they get for messing with one of the most feared gangs in Seoul. Barely breaking a sweat, the five girls had already defeated the warehouse of men working for their supplier.

"Is that all of them?" Gayoon asked as the five girls gathered at the entrance of the warehouse, which was filled with unconscious, bleeding bodies lying in all corners. 

"Most of them... Their leader escaped. Must've known we were coming for him." Sohyun reported her analysis.

". I thought we had him." Jiyoon cursed.

"Relax. This isn't over. Gayoon, Jiyoon, you two follow me. We'll go track him down." Jihyun ordered.

"I can help-" Sohyun, the group's techgirl, suggested.

"No. You and Hyuna have school tomorrow. Go get some rest, it's already 2am in the morning. We'll inform you guys if we have any leads." Jihyun cut her off. Hyuna gave her a thankful smile, while Sohyun just sighed and nodded. Jihyun may be a gang leader, but she's probably the most caring person Hyuna has ever met. Just like a mother, Jihyun took care of Hyuna ever since the younger girl joined the gang seven years ago. Hyuna couldn't imagine how she would've survived if Jihyun hadn't took her in. If there was one person in the world Hyuna wanted to thank, it would be 4minute's leader, Jihyun.

"Rest well girls. Get home safely." Jihyun reminded, before running into the darkness of the quiet streets with Gayoon and Jiyoon following closely behind. Nineteen year old Hyuna and seventeen year old Sohyun went the opposite direction, heading back to their homes.

It was 7am in the morning. At the bottom of the school's out-of-bounds fire-escape staircase, one male student lay sleeping. Well, to be specific, one male transfer student who had just transferred to Cube High School that day. If he had been in this school long enough, he would've known that the very staircase he was sleeping on was the school's "princess's" territory. He would've known that after she had claimed the place, no student or teacher dared to step one foot onto her
