Saerum’s P.o.V.
 

Our teachers told us to plan the whole day to avoid changes. By tomorrow, as they have said, we should begin setting things up.

I looked at Chanyeol, who seemed not interested with the topic. Automatically, his gang is not listening too. Instead, they distracted themselves with playing.

I still forgive them, although they were the ones responsible in doing the worst things that had happened in my life. Yet, I still am concerned with them – for they still are my classmates, and always will they be. I have tried to set the things that occurred aside, and have tried to  forget, for this is business, and there is no time for personal matters. But every time I look at them, I cannot feel anything but my anger toiling.

After a while, chatters were heard from outside as Kris’ classmates occupied the space left in the room.

“I am sorry for the inconvenience, but we have to do this in order to have a well-made performance.” Kris apologized as all of them nodded understandingly. I smiled at M, which happened to be Kris’ classmates, as they smiled back.

“I don’t want to be with our enemies.” Chanyeol said and placed his foot on the chair in front of him.

“Yeah. K comes before M, therefore, we should be prioritized.” Baekhyun muttered as I smiled. Kris slowly closed both doors and looked at them with a sharp stare.

“But that only exists in the alphabet.” Kris said and smiled.

“We are at the first, always.” Luhan defended.

“And you could only beat us in the alphabet, which we wholeheartedly accept.” Chen said, stood and bowed, looking at them. The whole class sent murmurs and ‘boo’s’.

“Quiet, please.” I said.

“Then why don’t you stop blabbering nonsense things?” Suho asked as Kris smiled.

“But why are you doing so too?” He asked as I slammed the desk with all my might. Nervousness came along with me, I was not used to leading people; I just follow my teacher’s orders. I do not have the talent of leadership, I suppose.

“Shut up, all of you." I said as they calmed down. But one thing I noticed, they were all gaping. 

Why are your mouths open in shock?” I asked as M laughed hysterically.

“Nice one, Saerum.” Xiumin said as I looked at them questionably.

“Why are you laughing?” I asked as I placed my hands on the desk; but I was shocked to see that no wood welcomed my palms. I looked downwards only to see the table...broken.

My eyes widened in shock as I controlled my laugh.

“I’m terribly sorry.” I said with a sheepish smile. The K group rolled their eyes and looked away.

“Acting tough.”

“Acting brave.”

“And acting like she can lead the class.”

"Acting strong."

"And like she is the strongest woman in this class."

"You're boasting that you are good in Taekwondo? Is that all you can prove?" Chanyeol asked as I clenched my fists. I controlled my tears as Kris pressed my left hand for support. I released my grip as I nodded understandingly.

He is not your friend, and he is not Chanyeol anymore.

Their members looked at me with anger as I swallowed hard.

“Continuing, let us not mind about the table. Saerum will fix it afte—“ Kris said as Chanyeol slammed his desk.

“It does not mean that if you are strong, you could apply your so-called strength to the class. I’m bored, let’s go guys.” Chanyeol said and walked towards the door.

“You are not going anywhere. It doesn’t mean that if you’re a kingka, you could go anywhere you want.” I said, blocking the door. I suppose this is all I can do.

“Saerum. Let them be.” Lay said as I shook my head.

“I’ve had enough.” I said as they went back to their seats in defeat. They sent me daggers as I pushed them away.

“Alright. Our school’s foundation day lasts for a week. We cannot use the  same case all over that span of time. Our market will be shortened and our popularity will not rise upwards. We will have seven to eight in the morning to set our props, and we will have nine hours for the business. We will be staying here until five in the afternoon.” I said as their eyes widened.

“FIVE? IN THE AFTERNOON?!” They  exclaimed as I nodded.

“E-even I could not believe it.” I said with a stuttering tone.

“We have eighty people in here,  and we have six cases—one and a half hour each case. Approximately, we need thirteen people at least for each case, and we need thirty cases for the whole week.” I  narrated as they nodded.

“Thirty cases? Man, that’s hard.” One said as I nodded.

“If you  do not want to memorize lines, raise your hands, you will be on the advertisement team. Don’t worry, you’ll still be wearing costumes.” I said as people raised their hands. I counted them one by one as everyone placed their hands down.

“Fourteen.” I said as they nodded.

“So, we only have sixty-six for the case.” I said, but I guess it still is too much. I hope we could manage.

“It’s too much.” Kris whispered as I nodded.

“I am going to give major roles to the people who have low grades to improve them.”I said as all of them smiled.
