Slam.

Yunmi barely had time to recover from the recoil before a palm swiftly landed on her right cheek, leaving nothing but a stinging sensation, and a red mark. Her knees were on the verge of buckling, but she supported her weight against the lockers.

A sharp intake of breath was heard as the taller girl lifted her hand again. She lifted Yunmi's chin  and stared daggers into her eyes.

"I thought I warned you to stay away from my Infinite boys. Care to explain why you were with them yesterday? Your Hoya-oppa wasn't there, though, so you had absolutely no reason to be together with them," Songri spat.

Sandeul reached out his hand, but Yunmi flinched. She had nearly forgotten about her encounter with Songri earlier in her rush to get to the practice studio. He pulled back immediately.

"It's okay, come on, let's start practice!"

The practice went smoothly, although Sandeul was a little unfocuse
