“I’m sorry but you are fired.” Tae In’s boss announced to her when she entered the company that afternoon. She knew this will happen ever since she have let her emotions ran wild and attacked Mina that day but she did not regret her choices at all. It has all been so worth it, but then a part of her can’t help but to feel sad that the only reason why she entered the company was to get close to her EXO oppas especially to Sehun but now that is going to be taken away from her and she felt even more angry than before. This is the position that she had tried so hard to get and know because of that stupid Mina, she have to lose it. She hates it when her things gets taken away and she is not going to let it go so easily. But for now, she will deal with Mina later as now she have to think of a way to make sure that she secure her job first.

 

“Please boss, I know I was wrong so can’t you just give me one more chance to prove myself that I can make things right again??”

 

“I am sorry. There isn’t anything I can do. The orders came directly from the top management of the company and I cannot defy it. There is nothing I can do to stop this.”

 

“What if… I were to go and apologise to Mina?? Do you think it can work?? I can do it if it means I can stay here.”

 

“I am afraid that is not something that is in my ability to decide. Just take this as a lesson learnt and make sure to never do something like that no matter how angry you are in the future.”

 

That makes Tae In even more agitated that before and so she cannot control herself and start to scream at her boss too. “WELL I DON’T NEED YOUR ADVICE!! WHO ARE YOU TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO OR HOW TO BEHAVE?? IF YOU CANNOT HELP ME TO SAVE MY JOB THEN STOP TALKING SO MUCH YOU USELESS BEING!!” With the Tae In stomped angrily out of the room. Her boss looked at her and shaked his head in disapproval and said, “Well suddenly I am very happy that I am able to get rid of her thanks to that incident.”

 

“Useless piece of . Still want to give advices to people when he cannot even help me to save my job in the first place. Who do he think he is?? Stop acting so high and mighty when he cannot even do the most basic things.” Tae In grumbled as she make her way out of the company. But the more she walked the more agitated she is about everything especially at Mina. If only that had not seduce her Sehun oppa, none of this would be happening and who knows she might already be dating Sehun. There are seriously no words to describe how much she wanted to kill Mina. If only killing has been made illegal because if that is so, Mina will not even be alive now.

 

“I cannot do this anymore!! If I do not let out all this steam, thee person that is going to suffer is going to me which is not possible because I am the victim here and I just can’t let those 2 continue to be all lovey dovey while i suffer. They are the ones who should suffer. If I Kim Tae In cannot get Oh Sehun then nobody deserves to get him too. Yes I need to break them up and make their life as miserable as hell.” With that Tae In fished out her handphone and dial a number and said, “I don’t care what method you used, just made the life of Dong Mina’s worse than hell.”

 

“Seriously though why are they suddenly bullying you all of a sudden?? We have been all getting along fine for the whole school year and now suddenly they are finding fault in everything you do and pranking and hurting you whenever they can. What is wrong with them??” Kuroi said as all 4 of them were sitting around in the living room while Kuroi is helping Mina to apply ointment on all the wounds that she had. She sigh at all the wounds covering her arms and legs, which consists of wounds that are already recovering but then more of it is being added onto the recovering ones as the day goes by.

 

“What had you done to deserve all this??” Kuroi asked and suddenly there was a sharp intake of air as Mina wince in pain when Kuroi had added too much force when applying the ointment. Kuroi noticed and she said, “Sorry.”

 

“It is okay.”

 

“Maknae ahh, is there really something that you are hiding from us again, you know like the last time your dad’s incident. Is there something that you are not telling us and therefore you are suffering all this kind of wounds out of nothing and for no good reasons and also them bullying you??” Vannie asked carefully.

 

“There is really nothing wrong eonnis. You guys are thinking too much.”

 

“If there isn’t then why are they just bullying you for no odd reasons?? It just doesn’t make sense at all.” Sooin said.

 

“There is really nothing. Trust me on that.”

 

Her eonnis look at each other and sigh. They knew something is wrong but Mina being her stubborn self, refused to say anything as usual and this is driving them nuts. They want to help her but then Mina refusing to say anything isn’t going to help the situation at all but then there is no use trying to force it out of her if she is just not going to say anything. Sometimes they wish Mina could just be a bit more dependent on them and be more willing to voice out her worries instead of worrying it herself and hopefully not driving herself insane because of all that.

 

“Well I just want to say again that if you have any problems, any problems at all, just tell us, we will be able to think of a solution to it together. I know I have say this before but then I am saying it again. 4 heads are better than 1 and we are worried that you just keeping all your problems to yourself won’t help at all. Be more dependent on us and don’t just keep counting on yourself to solve everything. You are not alone, okay??” Kuroi said and hopefully after this little speech, she might just tell them but of course they have set their expectations up too high as usual.

 

“Thanks eonnis. I will remember that. I am tired I think I am just gonna get some sleep. Nights eonnis.” With that she dismissed herself from the living room and went back to her room. Her eonnis sigh once again as they watched her disappear up the stairs.

 

“This is not going anywhere. We cannot count on her to say it out herself because that is practically like waiting for the blue moon. We have to ask someone. Someone that confirm know what happened to make her be like this.” Kuroi said.

 

“But then who do we call?? We don’t even know where it all started, is it from the school or the company plus she did not have much friends to start with.” Vannie said.

 

“I think it is not from the school because if it is from the school, we are always around her most of the time and so if it really starts from school, we are bound to hear something.” Sooin said.

 

“So it is from the company?? Should we call one of the EXO members to ask?? How about Sehun?? He should always be around Mina so he should know the best!! Let’s ask him!!” Vannie said.

 

Kuroi nodded and she quickly fished out her phone and dialed Sehun’s number. Kuroi had put it on speakers mode so that it easier for the other 2 eonnis to listen to it too. Sehun saw the incoming call and quickly pick up, wondering what is wrong and if it is related to Mina as something might have went wrong with her especially so when her eonnis are calling him out of the blue.

 

“Hello??” Sehun said.

 

“Hi Sehun~~ It is me, Kuroi, Mina’s eonni. I am actually calling to ask if there is something that went wrong recently because well Mina hasn’t been herself lately and she is coming home with more bruises, cuts and scrapes on her arms and legs every day and she is starting to get bullied in school and because we are with her all the time, we know it definitely didn’t start from the school and therefore we are asking if there is anything that went wrong in the company to cause something like this.”

 

“Wait!! What do you mean by she is coming back home with injuries everyday and also she is being bullied??!!” That sentence shocked Sehun. When did all of this happen to her and he did not even notice anything weird at all?? What is he even doing to neglect her to that state. Now that he thinks back, he finally understanding why Mina was limping the last time he saw her. It is because she had been bullied and her injuries are hurting her. He cursed under his breath as he knew immediately who did this to her. It is all his fault, his fault in causing her to suffer like this.

 

“Aye?? How come you did not know that Mina is injured?? Aren’t you hanging out with her in the company or something??” Sehun curse under his breath once again as he is being caught red handed at the fact that he did not know anything about what had happened to Mina which shows that he had not been around her lately. He know there is no use lying and therefore he had to be honest.

 

“Well… Mina and I kind of had a pretty bad quarrel and it is kind of related to why Mina is having all those injuries…” With that Sehun proceed to tell them about what had happened with Tae In and also their little quarrel.

 

“Haiz that Mina. Why did she keep something so grave from us?? What is that stubborn lady thinking of again?? We can help her but then she is just keeping everything to herself again especially when we are just right next to her.”

 

“You know how she is like, not wanting to be a burden to anyone and always want to depend on herself more than anything else in this world. No one can do anything about it, it is part of her personality to be like that.” Sehun said.

 

Kuroi sigh. “We have to think of something to stop this from continuing on but then first thing first you have to patch things up with Mina. It have been so long since the both of you last quarrelled and it isn’t good to just not talk to one another because your relationship might just start to grow distant. It is time for you to do something and you better do it asap.”

 

“I know I am working on it.”

 

“Okay then. I hope to hear good news from you soon and plus it is getting late, I think I should not disturb you anymore. Have a good rest and then we will see what we can think of to solve this and then we will inform you about it.”

 

“Thanks. You too.” With that they both hung up and Mina’s eonnis just sigh again now that they knew finally what happened.

 

“I really want to find that Tae In and beat her up so bad, when it is not our maknae’s fault but then she just have to keep bullying her and putting all the blame on her just like that and it is slowly making our maknae feel as if it is really her fault and blaming herself for it. This is so bad. Urghhh that evil person!!” Kuroi said.

 

“What are we going to do??” Vannie asked.

 

“I also don’t know what we are going to do… aish this is so difficult. Why does this kind of things keep happening to us??” Kuroi said.

 

“I also don’t have any idea on how to solve this thing too. I think we should just take some time to think through it but I think we should just talk to Mina about it and see how she feels.” Sooin said.

 

“Okay then. Let’s do that. For now let’s go to bed. It is late.” Kuroi said. With that they all went back into their respective rooms.

 

After hanging up the phone, Sehun was just really sad and worried about Mina. Even though just now when he was talking to her eonnis, he was trying to act as if everything is going to be okay so that he can be strong for the rest of her eonnis as that is what a man should do but then in actual fact, his heart is actually shattering into pieces because he felt that it is his fault for causing all that but then Mina is the one suffering all the consequences of his mistakes. It is his fault for letting Tae In feel as if she has a chance with him. If only he had been more obvious about how they cannot be together about it in the beginning, then maybe none of this would have happen.  His fault for giving her unnecessary hopes that are impossible to carry out. There is a sudden urge for him to go and meet Mina, to see her, to care for her, to apologise to her for everything he had done and to hold her tight in his arms, protecting her and making sure that she will never ever be hurt again but then he cannot just barge into their house at the middle of the night now and therefore he note to himself that he will see her the first thing when she enter the company tomorrow and to make things back to the way it was before all this happened.

 

The next morning, all of them gathered at the dining room and Kuroi started saying, “Mina. We know you are hiding something from us… So why do you do that??” and she looked up to stare at Mina straight in the eyes. Mina seem shocked but she know it is just a matter of time before they start to notice especially so when she kept on getting bullied in school and the amount of wounds she have every day.

 

“We… well… I just don’t want to get you guys involved because if they know you are with me,  they might turn and start getting all of you hurt too and I can’t do that. It is my fault it all started out and therefore I have to end this myself and if anything were to happen to any of you, I can never answer to myself or to your parents. Did Sehun oppa told you about this??”

 

“Yeah we kind of force him to after seeing how you refused to tell us anything but then why keep it away from us?? We could have help you to think of something to stop her… We can talk to the teachers or something or maybe find a gang and beat her up…” Sooin said and everyone start to stare at her, especially at the last lesson on gang and she laugh and said, “Sorry sorry maybe not the gang part let’s scratch that off but then maybe there will be a way to stop her and we can think of it together.”

 

Mina laughed but with a tone of sadness in it. “I don’t think looking for the teachers will help. I mean we are already so old, the teachers can’t possibly solve it for us and most likely they will just push it to one side and forget all about it because to them it is just nothing, so if we were to solve this, we have to depend on ourselves to do it. But seriously guys, this time it is very serious, I think eonnis you should really just step away and let me handle this myself because the situation isn’t as easy as you think it is, so just trust me and leave it to me.”

 

“How can we trust you when you are all covered in wounds and scars?? Can you just not be so stubborn and just accept our help you hopeless girl??!! We are going to be fine and if having a few wounds here and there will help solve the problem then we are fine!! Rather than just seeing you being bullied and getting scars everyday.” Vannie said, sounding slightly agitated.

 

“Nope.  I can’t allow that so stop thinking about it and that’s final.”

 

“No you are going to accept our help no matter what and that is the real final!!” Kuroi said full of authority and Mina and Kuroi stare at each other angrily for a while before they both looked away in anger.

 

After taking a while to calm down and organise their thoughts, Mina sigh. She knew that she can never win against her eonnis no matter what they say because she can never defy their orders. Therefore she quietly said, “Fine. I will accept your help but then if it gets too dangerous then you guys have to stop.”

 

“Fine. That’s a deal. So first thing first we have to have plan. So any plans that you have??” Kuroi asked.

 

Mina sighed, “I can’t believe it. I am trying to keep the people that is dear to me save and you guys here just want to jump into it and get yourself all hurt… what are you guys even thinking??”

 

“Well you are looking at it too negatively. If you were to look at it from a positive side, it is actually can be quite fun, doing something so dangerous right?? Imagine the amount of thrills we will get from this!!” Kuroi said and the other 2 eonnis agree and Mina laugh.

 

“Okay then. The plan I have currently is to not fight back because I don’t want to spoil my dad’s reputation and also I don’t want to get myself kick out of school before I even graduate but then that doesn’t mean that I will just stand there stupidly and let them keep hitting me. For now I intend to avoid them so I need to know roughly where are they coming from and when will they appear so that I can avoid them and roughly I do have some information about it but then I still have to be careful because I never know whether or not I will be correct or if they might suddenly change their route or something. Well this is probably not a very good plan but this is the only thing I have apart from just taking them one by one for a fight.”

 

“Ya. It sure is nothing but then you are very alert so I am sure you will do just fine. So anything that we can do?? Maybe be your bodyguards or something??” Vannie said.

 

“Well… For now, if can talk to me as little as possible so that it feels as if we are not close so they will not use all of you as a target to get me and if you want, you can just keep a lookout and just follow a fair distance behind me wherever I go, in case things happen but then as usual no fighting but then you can purposely bang into them or something to make it feel like an accident but then don’t do it unless it is absolutely necessary if not they will start to notice anything suspicious. Also at the same time collect more information about places that they like to hang out or they will be at to get me so that I can avoid this places as much as possible. But no worries, I will make sure every time during break I will make myself invisible and not let them find me at all. That will be my mission.”

 

“Well… that sounds really fun~~ It is going to be fun especially the part where we accidentally make them fail their plan. Damn why am I actually looking forward to doing this??” Kuroi said and everyone started laughing.

 

“Ya exactly. It sounds so dangerous but then it is so thrilling, I can’t wait to start.” Sooin said.

 

“Well no worries you guys can try it out the moment we reach school. But somehow if you guys in this. I feel that it is getting more fun by the minute because Tae In thinks she is smart and I am falling for all her tricks and pranks but now we are going to show her who is the real clever one.”

 

“Saying it like a real queen herself!! Come on let’s do a quick cheer before we go off.” Vannie suggested and with that they crowd around in a circle and put their hands in, placing them on top of one another’s and Mina said, “Ready to die together??”

 

“You betcha.” Kuroi said and the other eonnis nodded their head along and Sooin said, “If that is the case, then let’s shout let’s die together then for this cheer.” They all agreed and at the count of 3, they all shouted loudly “Let’s die together” before leaving the house and going out looking confident, fully prepared.
