Chapter 004

Start of Something New

Yuri is now walking back to their booth, not paying attention to the road. She's still shocked about meeting the Choi Yena. A former conversation with her friends is running in her head. 

 

"I really want to punch Jae-hyuk in his face! He's really getting into my nerves," Yuri said after those men tried to corner her and Minju for the nth time this week.

"Do you think you're the only one? I would do it too if I can. But unfortunately, I have to contain this all to myself. I don't want to be kicked out." Chaeyeon mumbled.

"Can't we find a way to stop those jerks?"

"You're thinking the impossible, Yuri," Minju replied. "I've already tried a hundred times."

Yuri looked so confused and her friends just gazed at each other.

"Okay," Hyewon started. "I think you need to know this. Remember your first day here? And I told you that Enozi's system revolves around money and power? Well, there are three students which you need to be careful with." 

Chaeyeon continued Hyewon's statement.

"My Kwon Eunbi. She doesn't like getting called by her name so her classmates call her Kwon or Celeb Kwon since she's the daughter of a famous celebrity. Because of her cold demeanor, many students labeled her as scary. But trust me, she isn't. She's like a shy bunny, really."

Minju just looked at Chaeyeon for a second because of her remark and back to Yuri.

"The second one is a boy named Park Jae-hyuk, His father owns hotels, casinos, and resorts. If Kwon is scary, this guy is crazy. You already know how much of a jerk he is so I won't explain more."

"And lastly, the girl on top of the pyramid of power," Hyewon continued. "Choi Yena."

"That girl belongs to a clan of politicians. Actually, she's expected by the whole student body to pursue politics to be the representative of their generation. She doesn't socialize that much. She has no friends here in Enozi except Miyawaki Sakura, her childhood friend."

"Oh, your crush?" Yuri teased. Hyewon just slightly nodded.

"Those three that we've mentioned, they can ruin your life in a snap. You should be careful."

"don't scare Yuri, Hye. Look at me, Eun didn't ruin my life. It actually made it better-"

"Well, how about Minju? You've seen how Jae-hyuk is making Minju's world smaller just to make her his property." Hyewon explained. "I just want Yuri to understand how powerful those three are. I'm concerned that's why I'm giving her a warning."

 

"YURI!" the girl stopped her daydreaming and looked up to see who's calling her. It's Chaewon, waving at her from afar. 

"How's the booth going?" Yuri asked her Club President when she reached their location. 

"Only 3 students signed up."

"Well, it's still better than zero. That's great for a start." Yuri said with a big smile. "But wait, why are you closing it? I thought the club Day will end at 4?"

"It is. Our adviser just said to close it temporarily since it's already Lunch Time," Chaewon explained. 

"Oh, right... Um, Chaewon, do you want to have lunch with me and my friends? Just maybe..."

Chaewon smiled. "I would love to."

After closing their booth, the two headed to the cafeteria. Yuri texted her usual gang to just follow. When Chaeyeon, Minju, and Hyewon arrived, Yuri introduced Chaewon to them. In a matter of minutes, they are already talking like they've known each other for so long.

"So, how many instruments can you play again?" Hyewon asked.

"Five. I can play the guitar, piano, drums, flute, and melodion." Chaewon happily replied.

"How can someone be that talented! I can never," Minju replied. The pink-haired girl just shyly smiled

"It's just a matter of practice and passion. By the way, what clubs are you guys in?"

"Lit Club," Chae answered. "But you know what guys, I actually thought I'd find it boring but it's actually fun."

"Minju?" 

"There's this club called The Zoo. The animals there are so cute. Our purpose is to take care of them."

"How 'bout you, Hyewon?" Yuri asked, eating the last piece of fries.

"None. Just here for the food."

Everyone burst into laughter. As expected from Kwangbae. 

They are all chatting when all of a sudden...

"Yuri!" Someone called.

"Tell me, how many people will shout my name today-" Yuri turned around only to be shocked. It's Choi Yena.

"Here's your fliers. The girls who took this from you brought it back to our club. I just thought you might still need this." Yena said, handing the leaflets to Yuri. "That's it, I guess. Well um, see you around."

When Yena left, Yuri looked at her friends, ready to explain.

"I know what you all think. I don't know that she's that Yena, okay? She saved me from those girls who trash talked the Music Club, that's why we met."

"We didn't say anything, did we?" Chaeyeon asked, taking a bite from the sandwich she brought.

"I... I thought that you'll be mad 'cause we already talked about her being the most-"

"Are you talking about our conversation days ago?" Hyewon guessed. "Yuri... I already told you before. I won't stop you from making friends. I just opened up that topic because I want you to know what you're doing if ever."

Yuri just smiled at her cousin. After everyone has finished their food, they decided to part ways back to their booths. Minjoo was on her way when someone stopped her from walking. 

"Jae-hyuk, how many time do I-" Minju turned around to face what she thought is Jae-hyuk. She was surprised to see a tall girl in a white shirt which says 'National Team: Track and Field'. for the first time after five months, Minju finally got to see her baby's face this close again.

Chapter 27: A chaekura and a kangbi would have made this perfect. But otherwise this is still a masterpiece. Good job author. So far this has been the first well written izone fanfic I've ever read. Congratulations 👏👏👏

I finally reread this story so I can give a review of this whole masterpiece. First I loved how cute WonNako was at the end of the story. And I loved how the story progressed. Like how at the start it seemed like the school would be really bright because of how popular it is, but when you take a good look at what happens and what kind of people are in the school you can definitely see all the bad side. Second I loved the plot of the story and how Yuri and Chaewon was trying to bring back the music club because people abandoned it for other clubs that were considered “cool”. In the end I loved all the couples together they are all so cute together! Great Work!
