Chapter 4

Different Ties

Zelo woke up in his room, his palms were sweaty and a bead of sweat rolled down the side of his face. He quickly sat up, remembering last night when he was lost since he was too out of it to leave the bus when it was his stop. 

"W-What happened last night? How'd I end up here?" He asked as slowly the memory started building up. 

 

"Junhong~ Breakfast is ready~ I made it for you! Wake up! Don't be so lazy~" He smiled through his sleep and started mumbling nonsense to the girl who was waking him up. She was a pretty blonde noona who had a sweet, caring voice and her eye makeup was aligned with her top lid perfectly. 

She was CL.

But she wasn't the CL Zelo knew, she was a different CL. She was a nice, warm CL. A CL that Zelo has never met. He felt CL shake his body gently, waking him up.

"Boy! Wake up! Hasn't your mother ever taught you to go home and not party after school?!" Suddenly CL's face got meaner, and she knocked him off the bed, causing  Zelo to wake up.

"Ah! What the heck?!" Zelo's eyes opened in a instant, as he realized he was knocked off the bench he fell asleep on. And the "CL" who was waking him up, was an ahjumma who happened to live in the neighborhood. 
"Crazy boy, what were you doing sleeping on this bench?!" The ahjumma scolded. 

Zelo flinched lightly, but quickly stood up and rested his hands on his abdomen, bowing 90 degress.

"I'm so sorry, ahjumma. Last night I missed my bus stop and I ended up here. I'm not familiar with this area and I was really tired so I didn't know what else to do." 

The ahjumma gave Zelo directions on where he could go to leave home, and Zelo obeyed them perfectly, ending up in his house. 

It was only ten at night, he took a four hour nap on that bench. Anyone could've kidnapped him. 

Zelo's mother frantically opened the door, and he had a lot of explaining to do...\

 

He chuckled at remembering his mom being worried sick when he came home. 
*She worries about me a bit too much, but I love it.* He thought as he stood up, and got ready for school. 

~~~

"ChaeRin,sweetie~" CL's mother shook her sides lightly for the millionth time, hoping that she'd finally wake up this time. 

CL's mother was always a sweetheart. She took care of her two kids very well...but she still blames herself for her most eldest child...just thinking about it made her shiver and get goosebumps. 
She shook CL one more time, before CL could mumble and groan lightly, her eyes were slowly fluttering open. 

"O-Omma...What is it now?" CL groaned before.. pulling her covers over her head, hoping her mom would disappear and let her sleep for five more minutes. But, her hope's outcome was the opposite. 

Her mom gave out a small laugh and pulled the covers down, letting herself see her beautiful daughter that had grown so quickly over the years. 

"Na, uh, ah~ Time for school. Come on, get up! I'm pretty sure all your friends will worry if you don't show." Her mom smiled and get up, walking herself to the door."Come down for breakfast too." 

CL watched her mother walk out, and sighed slowly sitting up. 
*My friends won't worry for me because I don't have any. Well...I have MinJi.* She smiled to herself before getting up, and got ready. 

~~~

After breakfast, CL tossed her school bag over her shoulder and headed for the door. "Bye mom, bye MinYoung!" She quickly walked out with a piece of toast for MinJi, who was standing right outside the door waiting for her. 

"Goodmoring CL!" She smiled big and it reached her eyes. She was so cheerful and happy all the time...
*How does she do it?* CL thought as she scanned her. Even thought CL was cruel and cold to everyone, MinJi couldn't help but look up to her for what she did years ago. 

"I got you some toast." CL told her and handed her the piece of bread before walking off. 

Yes, it did seem like CL hated MinJi if you just took a glimpse of when they were together, but in actuality, there was no other person in the world CL cared about more than MinJi..except MinYoung. She was number one. 

"I made friends with the new boy, unnie!" MinJi chimed as she caught up to CL, taking a bite out of her toast. 
"He's really friendly! And handsome! Wah~ And guess what? He skipped a grade! So we're all his noonas! Isn't that gr-" MinJi couldn't finish what she was going on about because CL stopped her. 

"MinJi, talk about that boy to someone else. I don't care about him, he's no one to me, okay? For god's sake how could that kid be from Seoul Academy when his got lost last night." She snapped at her, but MinJi knew it wasn't to insult her. 

"You saw him last night?" She asked with a raised eyebrow, and CL sighed, shaking her head and explained the whole bus situation. 

"How come you didn't help the poor kid!" MinJi pouted and finished her toast as CL gave her a glare, which was the one that asked, "do you know me at all?" 
"You know I don't help people." She said coldly as they reached the school.

"Yah..You helped me..remember? That's how our whole friendship started." MinJi reminded her friend and CL rolled her eyes, patting MinJi on her head lightly. "You're different, idiot." 

They walked inside, and everyone who was already in the school, scattered in the hallways, before forming a direct single line infront of CL. MinJi couldn't help but giggle everytime she saw this. It happened every morning!

CL laughed coldly, crossing her arms and walked towards the single file line of students that was from left to right. She first checked YooYoung, who was the very first in the line, eyeing her up and down, before walking slowly so everyone could hear the clicks of her heels, to the very end of the line, which was a boy HyunKi.

"Yah...Straighten up! Who do you think you are to be slouching in front of me?!" CL scolded the scared boy and he quickly striaghtened his posture, and the only think that was looked down were his eyes, because no one is allowed to look CL in the eyes when she's speaking to you. 

You can only look at the ground, otherwise, you can watch your own death.

It was silent, CL was still glaring at the students. Checking them from their head to toes, and nodded her head slowly. 
"Dismiss-" 

"Am I late?!" A voice from the main entrance stormed in, and the sound of wheels gliding against the slick tile floors was heard. Everyone's eyes widened, and CL's head snapped to the back to see who disrupted her. 

Zelo kicked the end of his skateboard, making it fly up and just before it could hit the ground again, he caught it with his right hand and held it to his side. His books were in his left hand. He suddenly realized that everyone was in a line, except Minji, and they looked frightened. 

Very frightened. 

He scratched the back of his head, confused, because it was still silent. Almost like a graveyard at midnight. He didn't notice why until his eyes flicked over to the tall, blonde girl whose eyes were darting at him, death glares shooting at him like a bulls eye.

He froze, getting scared himself too. "I..Uh..What's going on?" He was still upset about CL leaving  him last night and not showing him the way to get home, so he tried hiding his scaredness, to make her feel like she ins't the most powerful. 

CL walked herself closer to him, and her eyes scanned his body up and down, before looking him straight in the eyes. 

"You..Blonde Boy. You don't interrupt me while I'm in the middle of inspection." She glared at his skateboard, and before Zelo could ask her what "inspection" she was talking about, she yanked it out of his arm, and threw it against the lockers, almost causing it to completely tear in half.

"And you never look me in the eyes when I'm talking to you."
