- Language Class-

‘Everyone next 2 week you’ll be having your first language exam!’ the teacher announce happily ‘Your all dismiss’

Half of the class groaned hearing the word ‘exam’.

‘Byul-a-na milk~ lets study together’ Taemin suggested happily grinning at me

I gave him a blank look ‘No. No Dog Face, No. That’s not happening’ I stated shaking my head

Taemin pouted ‘Aww c’mon Byul-a-na milk! Taeminnie will help you!’ he pleaded

I gave him the ‘are you kidding me’ look ‘you can’t even help yourself how in the world are you going to help me?!’ I stated

Taemin grinned ‘Taeminnie is good at English!’ he declared

I raised a brow at him ‘Are you kidding me! You ’ I retorted

Taemin pouted before whining like a baby, ignored him

‘Hey babe lets hang out after school’ Jonghyun said giving Kahi a flirty smile

Kahi gave him a blank look ‘no.’ she reject

Jonghyun pouted and as on his knees begging ‘Please please please please!’ he begged

‘No’ Kahi repeated

But Jonghyun continued to beg on his knees

-5 Minutes Late-

You could say I was on the verge of chopping off his head to shut Jonghyun up.

Kahi let out an annoyed sigh ‘Are you that desperate?’ she questioned

Jonghyun nod his head very quickly ‘Neh~’ he said

Kahi let out another sigh before looking down at Jonghyun ‘Fine. But on one condition’ she said

Jonghyun nod his head quickly ‘Anything! You name it!’ he declared happily

Kahi smirked ‘you have to get 90s or above for the language exam’ she stated ‘without buying the marks of course’

Jonghyun mouth dropped touching the ground ‘WHAT?! THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE!’ he exclaimed before pouting ‘I can do anything else but that! Something more easier please!!!’

Kahi raised a brow ‘ you think that I’m worth that low and easy?’ she stated

Jonghyun eyes widen ‘NO! OF COURSE NOT! YOUR WORTH MORE THEN THE DAMN UNIVERSE!’ he shouted

Me, Uee and Key smirked while Taemin was grinning…gosh did Kahi sure got Jonghyun wrapped around her finger.

‘Then getting 90s won’t be too difficult for you’ Kahi said before leaving the classroom

When Kahi left Jonghyun instantly banged his head onto the table and sulked

‘How the bloody hell am I going to get 90s?!!!!’ Jonghyun cried

We all laughed at him and patted him on the back

‘Good luck~’ we cheered him on before leaving to our next class

-Information & Technology Class-

I sat down in my seat just as Taemin did as well

‘PLEASEEEEEEE’ Taemin begged

‘No’ I rejected

For the whole journey to class Taemin had continue to beg for me to study with him and I would always reject it

‘Yah! SAY THAT AGAIN!’ Key shouted angrily

‘What you're wearing doesn’t suit you’ Uee stated

And…Uee and Key as always was in another fight with each other…

‘Another headache lesson…’ I thought shaking my head

- End Of Class-

I packed my things up and was about to leave but Taemin stood in my way

I shot him a glare ‘Dog face…’ I said annoyed ‘Move’

Taemin grinned shaking his head ‘not until Byul-a-na Milk promise to study with Taeminnie!’ He said

I let out an annoyed sigh ‘For the last time. No’ I Stated ‘now move’

Taemin pouted and put his hands onto his hips ‘Make me!’ he challenged childishly

I rolled my eyes…did god made a mistake and placed a 5 year old brain in to a 19 year old?.

‘Dog Face don’t make me hurt you’ I threaten

Taemin had a worried look on at first but then his stubbornness was more overpowering

He shook his head and grinned ‘No!’ he said confidently

I approached him and start poking him on the sides

‘PHAHAHAHA YAH!’ Taemin exclaimed shocked and was laughing

I grinned evilly and tickled him till I could get out

‘phahahaha I won!’ I declared

Taemin pouted with a disapproved look on

‘TAEMINNIE BEAR HUG ATTACK!’ he shouted before tackling me into a bear hug

‘YAH! GET OFF ME!’ I shouted annoyed

‘Kekeke Not until you promise to study with Taeminnie~’ Taemin stated grinning

I tried to prey and struggle out of his tight hug…was he given super powers of killing hugs?!

‘Lets have a study date!’ Uee said happily to Key

Key rolled his eyes ‘no’ he rejected

‘Let’s go to the library together!’

‘no’

‘Lets go to the garden!’

‘No’

‘How about the roof top to study?’

‘No’

‘Aww! What about your dorm’

‘Hell no!’

‘What---’ ‘YAH! I SAID NO!’ Key shouted pissed off cutting Uee off

This was the first time that Key would have such an emotion in his tone during an argument with Uee…sure his always angry, annoyed and irritated…but never pissed, which surprised Uee, me and Taemin. Me and Taemin were froze in our position which was in a standing with Taemin hugging me while Uee was silent and stared at Key.

‘F*** off and stop asking me out to useless places! You really think I would date someone like you? Psh not in this lifetime or the next or any other lifetime! ’ Key said harshly

I could read Uee’s expression…it was hurt. But never once did she ever looked away from Key. I felt anger raising inside of me.

‘You’re so annoying even worst then those crazy Fan girls! Tsk. I would rather date them, then to date someone like you! At least they're not poor, ugly, rude and a B**** like you’ Key continued ‘So get it into your F***en head that I’ll Never! I repeat. NEVER DATE A COMMONER!’

There was a long dead silence in the room. Uee was hurt…no she was crushed and burned, there was tears at the corner of her eyes but she tried hard to blink them away. Key on the other hand was glaring at Uee, his probably waiting for Uee to retort or say a comeback at him…but never came. I wonder if Key even knew that what he had said was hurtful and harsh. Not knowing what to do, Uee did a 90 degrees bow which surprised Key.

‘I-I’m s-sorry’ Uee stuttered before walking out

I broke out of Taemin’s hug which was not difficult because he had dropped his tight grip and followed Uee out, but I stopped by the door and look back at Key with a frown

‘Know your limits Key’ I stated before leaving

-Taemin Pov –

I was shocked and had a very disappointing feeling in my chest. I really couldn’t believe…that my Hyung could say something like that to someone. Much less to a girl, to a kind, hardworking and sweet girl like Uee Noona. Key was still processing what was happening…

‘It’s not difficult or hard to get off of your high horse once a while Hyung.’ I said with a frown ‘But I guess that doesn’t matter anymore. You blew it. You blew it big time Key Hyung’

I was disappointed in him…he was like the Umma to us…He was also like my role model but just now…he was more of a jerk…he was even worst then Jonghyun’s old self.

- Uee Pov –

I felt numb. I couldn’t feel my body or could make sense of where I was going…the pain in my chest was unbearable and my heart was aching. If only I knew beforehand…if only I knew that Key hated me this much…then maybe…maybe I could of prevented myself from making Key hating me so much more. When I left the classroom, tears dripped down my face…

‘Why am I so hateful?’ I thought crying ‘why do I have to be a commoner?’

I felt a hand patting me gently and comforting on my back, I turn to my side and saw Byul through my tears

‘You can always lean on me and tell me your pain...’ Byul said ‘I’ll listen to you're aching heart’

I stopped walking and hugged Byul… I really needed comforting of my precious friend, Byul was startled at first before hugging me back and continue to rub my back.

‘Let it all out.’ Byul whispered

‘Why does he hate me?’ I sobbed on her shoulder ‘Why can’t he accept me?’

I continue to question out many things that were in my mind.

‘why can’t he love me…’ I whispered sadly

‘Because…he doesn’t know where his heart is. Yet. He doesn’t know who’s been always in front of him. His ego and his desire of self-image is too big that it covers from what he truly needs and wants.’ Byul said

I continue to cry silently while listening to Byul. ‘what should I do?’ I questioned

‘I can’t tell you what to do or make you do things that aren’t your choice because I wouldn’t know what would make you happy or what not. It’s difficult and it’s painful right now, I know. But know that I will always to be here for you with open arms and support all of your wishes, just like the others as well. Your not alone anymore.’ Byul said

A sad smile came on to my face. I was glad to have Byul…she’s always kindhearted and open-minded.

‘Thank you’ I whispered

-4 Days Later-

-Your Pov-

Let’s just say that something…well more like someone hasn’t been the same… involving with how Uee’s being behaving. She smiled, laughed, joked, studies basically everything’s the same everything but her arguing self. Yes, ever since after the day she had cried never once had she ever argued or had a fight with Key. Key was the same always the one to start things but every time he did, Uee was not faze she would agree with him and return back to whatever she’s doing. Key noticed this and I could normal see the confused, disappointment, and also a hint of anxiety. While on the other hand Kahi had been really pleased with how hard Jonghyun had being studying…yes he had being studying, very and really hard.

- Home Economic Class-

For today’s lesson we were making Beef stew, My partner was none other than Taemin and god was he not bliss with any skills of cooking of what so ever…

I sigh for the millionth time ‘Yah! Can’t you do anything at all!’ I scolded at Taemin, who couldn’t even peel a carrot right

Taemin Pouted ‘ Byul-a-na Milk show me how to use this thing!’ Taemin said

‘For crying out loud it was a bloody peeler! How hard could it be to use it?!’ I thought annoyed, but showed Taemin anyway

While helping him and watching Taemin to make sure he was doing it correctly, I couldn’t help but to look over at Uee’s cooking bench. She was paired with Key, Uee was chopping up the vegetable while Key was boiling some water.

‘Tsh, can’t you even cut it correctly’ Key mocked now standing beside Uee watching her chopping the carrot

Key was trying to start a fright again…as always

‘Sorry…I’ll try harder’ Uee responded

But Uee would always just admit to whatever Key was complaining about and say sorry. Key was bothered by the fact that Uee wasn’t arguing with him per usual…for the last 4 days which was bothering him…eating him…and I could see that his nerves were about to snap anytime soon.

‘Byul-a-na milk am I doing this right?’ Taemin asked

But I wasn’t paying attention to him

‘Yah! What are you looking at?’ Taemin whined, standing in front of me and blocking my sight

I let out an annoyed sigh ‘Neh. You did it right, so just continue peeling’ I said

Taemin pouted ‘Your supposed to be paying attention to Taeminnie’ he complained

He makes it sounds like I’m his mother and I have to listen and accomplish all of his baby needs

I rolled my eyes ‘if you want attention so much, then go and ask your fan girls to do that. I’m sure their more happy to give you more than just their attention’ I stated

Taemin stomped his feet like an angry 5 year old who had his toy taken away from him and crossed his arms

‘Ani! Taeminnie and Byul-a-na Milk are partners! So Byul-a-na Milk has to pay attention!’ he reasoned

‘Aishi! Just get back to peeling already!’ I said annoyed

Taemin was about to whine some more when a yelp of pain was heard. I turn to the direction of it to find that Uee had accidentally cut her finger. I wanted to get there but Key was already by her side and he looked worried…very worried

‘YAH! Can’t you be more careful!’ Key scolded her

Key held her injured hand and was inspecting it but Uee took her hand away from his and grabbed a cloth to stop the bleeding

‘It’s nothing too serious’ Uee said as if the cut was nothing

Key’s last nerve must of snapped because he looked furious…I mean very very furious…that it was scary. Key grabbed onto Uee shoulders and turned her to face him.

‘What the F*** is wrong with you?!’ Key exclaimed angrily ‘Why the F*** are you acting like this?!’

Uee was slightly confused but never the less caught on quickly and shrugged her shoulders, getting out of Key’s hold

‘Kim Kibum.’ Uee suddenly said

Shocking Key, Uee had always being the one to call him many things but never his name much less his full name before.

‘Stop…Please just stop!’ Uee pleaded looking down at the ground ‘Why are you doing this to me?! Why are you confusing me? Stop toying with me!’

Her voice held nothing but sadness and pain. Key was confused, he didn’t know why Uee was being like this.

‘I get it, that I am just a poor girl, I know that I’m nothing special…you’re a prince and I’m a commoner…I get it. I know that You’ll never love me much less even like me!’ Uee exclaimed  ‘so isn’t easier to forget my existence?

Key was stunned at what Uee had said to him, he was frozen and didn’t know what to say.

‘W-What? W-Why--’ Key could even finish because Uee had cut him off

 ‘I’ll do you a favor…I won’t bother you anymore. I won’t cling, annoy, argue….’ Uee paused hesitating to finish her sentence ‘…I won’t ask you out anymore…I’ll stop. My attention, my feelings...my love... I’ll stop it all.’

Uee tears came, she was crying but she still had a smile on…a sad smile. Key eyes were widen and his mouth opened and closed not sure of what he could say…but I could see in his eyes…that he was hurt.

Uee forced out a brighter smile and bowed ‘Sorry, for my burden’ she apologized to Key

Uee then faced me and went to my bench

‘B-Byul…’ she whispered looking down

I nod understanding what she wanted right now, I looked at Taemin who was looking at Key to Uee and then at me.

‘Lets swap partners’ I said to Taemin

Taemin didn’t whine or complain because he knew this wasn’t the time to be childish…this was a serious matter, so he nod and went to Key’s bench. I open my arms to Uee as she hugged me for comfort. Kahi, Jungah, Nana, and the other guys were looking at me with a worried expression but I gave them a sign that Uee will be fine so their worry lessened a little. I looked to where Taemin and Key was…and it seemed that Taemin was saying a few things to Key…who seems down, depressed…broken.

- Lunch –

It was a good thing Lunch was next, because then the girls were at my tree house comforting Uee while the guys were probably in the dorm or in the cafeteria…also probably comforting Key up. I was getting some can drinks from the vending machine in the hallways, while heading back I saw Jonghyun in the hallway talking to some guy.

‘Maybe I should ask how Key is…’I thought

Deciding that, it’s a good idea so I approached him, he didn’t seem to notice me because he was busy and focused talking to the guy. When I got closer and closer I start to caught on what their conversation was about…

‘So do you have it?’ Jonghyun asked the guy

The guy took out a folder and handed it Jonghyun

‘It wasn’t easy getting those. They sure keep Exam Answers secured’ The guy said

‘Well you don’t expect any less from an elite academy’ Jonghyun said taking the folder

The guy smiled and shook his head ‘whatever man. Good luck’ he said before leaving

There was a tight feeling in my chest…

‘You have got to be kidding me…Jonghyun is going to cheat?’ I thought disappointed

Jonghyun turned around and was surprised to see me standing a couple of feet behind him. His expression were like a deer caught in the headlights.

‘B-Byul...’ Jonghyun stuttered

‘Is Key doing fine?’ I asked, deciding to push aside what I just witnessed

Jonghyun nod his head slowly ‘Y-Yeah…his still a little down though’ he said

I nod ‘As long as his coping fine, I guess that’s good.’ I said ‘Uee is still being comforted back at my place, in case you're wondering how she’s doing’

Jonghyun nod. There was an awkward silence

‘I’m going to head back now’ I said before walking pass him

‘Wait.’ Jonghyun said stopping me ‘D-Did…did you saw and heard…everything...’

I knew that he was referring to and nod ‘Neh. I did.’ I answered

Jonghyun tensed up even more probably because he didn’t know what to do or what to say…it seemed like he was almost hurting himself

‘Don’t worry I won’t say anything about it’ I said

Jonghyun was surprised by what I said ‘R-Really? B-but…’ he stuttered

‘Because it’s not my business to be involve with yours or Kahi’s matter.’ I said

‘Oh…thanks…’ Jonghyun said unsure of what else to say

‘Can I ask you why though?’ I questioned

Jonghyun nod ‘Because I’m desperate for Kahi to accept me’ he said

‘For Kahi…is it really for her or is it really just for you?’ I muttered before leaving

-Jonghyun Pov –

I heard what Byul had said before leaving.

‘I’m doing it for her. For Kahi’ I said to myself

Like I said I was desperate, it was the first time ever that I had felt something like this for anyone. So I’ll do anything, even if I have to cheat…I’ll do it because it’s my only chance to get a chance with Kahi.

‘Is it really for Kahi or is it really for you’

Byul words were in my head…which made me doubt myself…it was making me thinking. Am I being selfish?

I shook my head ‘No. I’m doing this because I love Kahi.’ I whispered.

- Your Pov-

I was now…how can I express it…very unbelievably disappointed…in Jonghyun and in Key.

‘Aishi…of all people there is…they had to choose the ones with the most personality problem’ I thought frustrated

But who am I to judge? It was up to Kahi and Uee who they chose to like and as a sister and friend I’ll always support them.

-Night Time-

- Key Pov-

‘Aishi! What do I do?!’ I thought frustrated

I don’t know how to explain the feeling I had right now…but I can tell you that it hurts like . I’m confused of course…I mean…what Uee said was right, all of it was right. So shouldn’t I be happy that a commoner was going to leave me alone? My image is not going to be ruined anymore and I can live my life now with no more of annoyance. So why do I feel like my chest is being stabbed…or the fact that I feel empty…why do I feel like I was breaking down right now.

‘BYUL!’ my mind shouted ‘I’ll talk to Byul!’

I instantly grab my jacket and ran out to Byul’s tree house

-Tree House-

I knocked a couple of times before the door opened

‘YAH! DOG FACE YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS NOW?!’ Byul shouted angrily

I blinked a couple of times...I never knew Taemin would have being this much of a bother that she would even expect me to be Taemin. Byul blinked a couple of times looking me…realizing that it wasn’t Taemin she apologized

‘Key what are you doing here?’ She asked

I looked down while fidgeting with my fingers ‘I need someone to talk to’ I said almost whispering

Byul nod and stepped aside letting me in. I sat down in her living room while she made two cups of warm milk for us.

‘Are you feeling all right?’ Byul asked me

‘I’m not sure…’ I answered honestly ‘I’m confused’

Byul nod in understanding ‘Well I’m all ears’ she said

‘I don’t know what to do…’ I started ‘ Everything that Uee had said…it’s true…but…I’m so confused I don’t know how I should be acting…I don’t know why I’m feeling so depressed, hurt…and broken about it’

I explained to Byul how I felt. Byul listened attentively till I was finished.

‘So what is it exactly do you want by telling me this?’ Byul asked

‘That’s why I’m here…because I don’t even know what I want’ I said

Byul raised a brow at me ‘I’m not a fortuneteller or a psychic. I wouldn’t know what you want unless you tell me.’ She said

I didn’t say anything because I didn’t know what to say…after all Byul was right, how did I expect her to know what I want when I don’t even know myself.

Byul let out a sigh ‘how about I get you started.’ She said which made me look up at her ‘why don’t you think about how you felt when hearing Uee’s words that she had said to you’

I could still hear and remember Uee’s words in my head

That I am just a poor girl

That’s what I thought of Uee at first…she was just a penniless girl who got a scholarship to this school…but…it wasn’t JUST…there was more to her.

 I know that I’m nothing special

Yeah…Uee was just an ordinary girl a smart yet pretty girl. In a girl you would have expected a nerd to be ugly while is smart and pretty girls to be only looks and no brains…but somehow…Uee had manage to have both…to me…that was somehow special.

You’re a prince and I’m a commoner

I could see how far of status we have…the distance was great…almost like the moon and sun. It was me to put that distance though…because I cared too much about status and image…that I pushed others below me so far.

I know that You’ll never love me much less even like me!

I’ve never thought about it before…even after numerous times that Uee had asked me out and confessed her feelings…I’ve never once paid attention to it. I’ve always rejected her dates and neglected her feelings. Wasn’t I a jerk?

So isn’t easier to forget my existence?

How in the world could I even forget about her? How could I just simply pretend that she never existed when she was someone I look forward to every single day to see and pick a fight with…whoa…hold up? Did I just think that?

I won’t bother you anymore

F*** you! After always arguing and fighting with me…making it almost a habit that I go through every day…she’s suddenly going to stop? That’s like telling a drug addict to quit taking drugs in a day.

 I won’t cling, annoy, and argue

B**** after always bugging me and following me around like a fan girl she’s suddenly going to ignore me?! Like F*** am I going to let that happen! I’m going to make sure to annoy, argue and pestering you every single day!

I won’t ask you out anymore…

Wasn’t she the one to say and promise that I’ll never give up until I’m willing to going out with her? What a quitter. A liar!

My attention, my feelings

Some fan girl she is. She told me that she admired me and always had being watching me and she’ll always will…so why the F*** is she stopping now?!

My love

My heart was clutching painfully…I didn’t realize it but my tears were falling…why the hell was I crying?

I’ll stop it all

No. I never want it to stop. I always want it to continue…Every day. Every second…every moment that I am still breathing.

 My tears were falling I wasn’t able to control my falling tears, they were falling endlessly because of the pain that I felt.

‘I love her’ I whispered

There’s no point in lying about it anymore. There’s no point in having to choose pride anymore. Because what I was losing was far more important than my image or reputation.

‘I love Uee’ I repeated

I looked up at Byul not caring that she can see my tears

‘I want Uee to understand. To understand that I love her’ I said

Byul smiled at me probably because she was glad that I now could understand what I wanted and that she was proud that I was finally putting the whole status down and was willing to choose Uee over it.

‘Well, now that you know what you want. You should know how to get it done’ Byul said happily ‘After all you’re the Almighty Key’

I smiled…who knew Byul could be this helpful?! F*** I’m damn grateful of her!

‘THANK YOU!’ I shouted happily

She laughed a little and nod ‘You’re the one who got all of your thoughts together but yea no problem I guess’ Byul said

I gave her a quick hug before returning back to my room. I have to start planning of what to do.
