Next day, Jung Ri waited Ye Jin at the school’s entrance. She didn’t want to give up on explaining the truth to her. She didn’t want to lose a friend that mean a lot to her. She didn’t want a boy came between their friendships.

She waited patiently for 15 minutes until Him Chan appeared in front of her. She secretly grunted in frustration as she saw him.

“Hey, baby girl” He called and wrapped his arms around Jung Ri’s waist

“Please Him Chan. I’m not in the mood” She lightly pushed him away.

“but- You are still trying to explain to her about us?” Him Chan noticed Jung Ri’s restless face and she nodded while her eyes still looking at the entrance.

“Come on Jung Ri-ah. She’s not worth to explain everything. The entire school knows we are together because we are in love and that’s it. She could see it herself” Him Chan blurted out without too much thought.

“NOT WORTH? She’s my best friend. And I WANT to explain everything to her” Jung Ri retorted and empathizing her words. When Him Chan was about to reach her hand she quickly avoided.

“Babe” Him Chan could see that he did a mistake and was about to apologize but Jung Ri cut him off first.

“Go away! I’m not in the mood to talk” She said despondently and her cold eyes pierce right through Him Chan’s eyes. Him Chan knew he shouldn’t be around her right now.

“I’m sorry” He said guilty and walked away. Jung Ri released a heavy sigh and her eyes widen when she looked at the entrance, Ye Jin was standing right there. Ye Jin wanted to chuckle at her foolishness for admiring a boy like Him Chan. She didn’t know how she could admire a jerk like him. Ye Jin started to walk past Jung Ri

“Ye Jin” Jung Ri called and Ye Jin stopped right beside her

“If you have something to say spill in now” Ye Jin said unemotionally

==========================================================================

They went to a less crowd place and Jung Ri looked into Ye Jin’s eyes that filled with sorrow. She could guess it was Him Chan’s earlier words that made her sad.

“Sorry if you heard what Him Chan had said. He didn’t mean it” Jung Ri apologized for Him Chan.

“Wow, what a sweet couple” Ye Jin sarcastically said but Jung Ri didn’t bother about it because she knew Ye Jin hadn’t knew the truth

“Ye Jin-ah, actually I wanted to tell you earlier before the rumor start spreading but they forbid me to tell anyone” Jung Ri started

“They?” Ye Jin thought and now, she looked into Jung Ri’s eyes to seek if what she said was all the truth

“There were these bunches of girls looking for me. They said they wanted me to date Him Chan to revenge for their best friend whom he had left. He was just toying around with her feeling and left her heart broken. He did it the same to all the girls he dated and the girls were the girls he once teased and flirted with. One day, they heard him said he was secretly in love with me so they took this chance to tell me to avenge. I hated this kind of boy who hurt girls feeling like we are some toys. So, I agreed without even second thought” Jung R
