He swing his knife, almost hit Namjoon. But Namjoon move aside so the knife didn't touch his skin.

The guy swing it again and it hit something. Namjoon look at Ahreum.

Blood drips from Ahreum's right hand. She look at the previous guy.

   "Let's stop it." she sigh.

The previous guy let go of the knife which is pierce through Ahreum's right hand. He take a step back while looking at Ahreum's hand.

The blade of the knife measuring about 2.9 inch and it's quite heavy so it's not hard to cut through some flesh.

Ahreum remove her right hand from the front of her face to the front of her stomach. She pull the knife handle with her left hand.

Blood flowing from her right hand and drips onto the ground. She flip over her right hand few times.

   "How do i suppose to write tomorrow?" Ahreum move her fingers.

   "Are you okay?" Namjoon ask but Ahreum only sigh.

The previous guy step back when Ahreum look at him. He step back again when Ahreum take a step closer to him.

He finally stop after his right foot hit something, make him fall onto the ground.

   "Now what should i do with this?" Ahreum her right hand to him.

   "I... I didn't..."

   "Stand up." Ahreum tell him.

He do exactly like she said. He stand up right in front of Ahreum. He's taller than Ahreum so even though he look down, Ahreum still can see his face. The light from the street lamp help her to see his face more clearly.

   "Na Sang Gyun," Ahreum read the nametag which is taped on his school uniform.

   "Y-yes..." he answer as Ahreum say his name.

   "How old are you?" Ahreum look at him.

   "...teen years... old..."

   "Huh?"

   "S.... teen..."

   "Talk properly, Sanggyun-ah." Ahreum look directly into his eyes.

   "Sixteen years old." he half yell.

   "Ah... is that so?" Ahreum raise her eyebrows.

   "Y-yes."

   "I got it." Ahreum nod her head. "See you next time, Na Sanggyun." Ahreum turn around and walk to Namjoon. "Let's go home."

They leave the previous guy named Sanggyun at the park.

     Namjoon wrap Ahreum's hand with a roll of bandages and stick the bandages with a plester. He close the first aid kit box and clean up the table then put back the box into Ahreum's room.

Ahreum look at the previous pocket knife she hold with her left hand.

   "Why did you do that?" Namjoon sit next to her.

   "Did what?" she still look at the knife.

   "You block the knife with your bare hand." Namjoon use his lazy tone. "Do you think you have a super power or what?"

   "At least i heal faster than other people."

   "But still..." he look at his between-brave-or-stupid bestfriend.

Namjoon let out a heavy sigh.

   "What will you do with that knife?" he look at the pocket knife which is already clean from Ahreum's blood.

   "I don't know. Maybe give it back to that boy."

-

     Jimin put his bag onto his desk and approach Ahreum who was sleeping with her headphones on her. He sit in front of Ahreum's seat, support his chin with his hand and look at her.

Jimin wake Ahreum up as the bell rings. He hit Ahreum's arm softly few times, just in case she'll be awake easily. But Ahreum doesn't even move. He shake Ahreum's arm but Ahreum still doesn't move. After thinking for a while, he know what to do. He take Ahreum's headphones off and right after that she's awake.

   "What..."

   "We need to go now." Jimin bow to see Ahreum's face.

   "Where?" Ahreum look around the class.

   "Field..."

   "Ah. Yes. Right." Ahreum nod.

Ahreum take out her sports uniform from her bag and walk straight to the door where Jimin wait for her. He walk behind Ahreum.

   "What's with ther hand?" he look at Ahreum's bandaged hand.

     After the teacher done with his speech, the line dismiss and the students go to find their friends to form a group. Jimin is about to approach Ahreum when suddenly his classmates approach him.

   "Park Jimin, let's join my group.", "No, no, no. My group.", "Just come to my group, Jimin-ah." and the other invitation comes out from his classmates.

Jimin smiles confusely, don't know what to do. But then he see Ahreum who look back at him with a 'What do you want?' look on her.

   "I will join..." Jimin say. "But can she join too?" he look at Ahreum, make them look at her too.

They look at each other.

   "Uhm...", "Ah...", "Hhmmm...." comes from the previous friends.

   "Why not?" someone approach Jimin and the other classmates.

   "Okay~" Jimin smile.

Jimin approach Ahreum who's lean back at the goal posts. She look at Jimin coldly just after he arrive. He tell Ahreum to join the other classmates but Ahreum reject him.

   "Why?" Jimin ask.

   "I said i don't want to, Park Jimin."

   "Why exactly?" he ask again.

   "I'm scared that they wont accept me." Ahreum say, boldly.

Jimin tilt his head lightly. He wink a few times, try to digest Ahreum's words.

   "Wait what?" Jimin look at her, ask again in case if he heard things wrongly.

   "They. Scared. Of me."

   "I don't." someone approach them.

Ahreum directly look at the previous boy, sharply.

   "You need to stop looking at people like that. It make them scare." he say.

   "Someone said that too." Ahreum sigh.

   "Come on, we need to join the group." Jimin try to persuade her.

   "Why?" Ahreum glares at Jimin.

   "Because the teacher said so." Jimin raise his voice.

The previous guy smiles at their actions. Ahreum and Jimin keep debating for a minute.

   "Changgyun-ah," someone call the previos boy. Not only the previous guy, but Jimin and Ahreum look at the voice sourch.

   "Come on. We have to make a group and start to stretch before Mr.Kim scold us." the previos boy called Changgyun say.

Jimin follow Changgyun to their stretch spot with Ahreum walk behind him.

   "Go Minsoo, let's start the stretching." Changgyun say.

The guy called Minsoo who was sitting on the ground  look up. He stand up and tap on his for a few times to clean up his pants.

   "Oh~ Park Jimin~" Minsoo high-five Jimin.

   "Yo~" Jimin reply his high five.

They let go of their hand after done with their high five. But Minsoo suddenly bow when he see Ahreum.

   "Annyeonghaseyo. Go Minsoo imnida." he introduce himself spontaneously.

Jimin and Changgyun laugh at Minsoo's silly action while Ahreum look at the bowing boy in front of him.

   "I'm Ahn Ahreum." Ahreum say, flatly.

The teacher's come back and the whole class can do the stretching since they already have their groups.

Ahreum's group consist of 1 girl and 3 boys. The first is Im Changgyun. People usually call him I.M because of his family name, even few of teachers call him so. He is the smartest male students in the second year. Changgyun and Ahreum keep compete in scores and since they were still in the first year, their total score of terms always different just by 2 or 3 points. The second is Go Minsoo. He's the clown of class 2-3. He is so funny and know how to make people around him comfortable. He can easily make people laugh with his joke or just by his silly actions. The third is Jimin. We all know Jimin. And the last is Ahreum.

They start the stretching as the teacher blow his whistle.

Jungkook close his notebook and stand up.

   "You can bring your bag too, student Jeon." the teacher say.

Jungkook do as the teacher say. He put his books into his bag and zip the bag. He bow to the teacher before leave the class.

   "Where are we going?" Jungkook ask Wonho.

   "Gym." Wonho say.

   "At this hour?" Jungkook ask, again.

   "Yeah." Wonho turn left to the stairs. "The national tournament is close. The club's aces usually training very hard in this time."

Amber doen't need to go to the girl's changing room because the shower room is closed. She can just take a shower at boy's shower room and close the door. And she don't have to concern about the boys because Wonho and Changgyun are already like a siblings to her.

When the elevator doors open, he get out of there just to meet another door. He press the bell and show a card in his wallet. He enter a room with a pretty dark lighting. There are some game machines, dance floor, DJ spot, a long bartender desk, and some softdrink machines. It seems like a bar but actually it's a playground for rich kids. The bar doesn't sell alcoholic drinks but softdrinks, smoothies, juice, and else. There are some alcoholic drinks but those are not the strong ones.

Jungkook is a regular costumer here, or you can say if he's one of VIP costumers. He came here 2 years ago and keep coming after that.
