"YOU ENTERED THE OCCULT CLUB!?!?" Seungcheol slammed his hands on the table, making the six of us feel like we're gonna get eaten any minute now

"Yeah, we're the specialized extracurricu-"

"NO ONE ASKED YOU!" he cut Seungkwan off. Seungcheol started to mess his hair up before looking back at us again

"Okay look, I didn't mean to shout," he cooled down for a bit, "It's just that.....a lot of students have been talking about how we didn't deserve to win. Plus, if they knew that five of SVT's members broke a club rule, we're going to get bashed more!"

"I'm sorry I didn't stop them," I kept my head low

"You're out of this, Minseul. Don't blame yourself," Jun sighed and shook his head at the same time

We were all seated, facing Seungcheol. While the others just watch. Why do I feel like they're gonna torture us in here? it's getting real creepy and scary

"We're sorry, hyung, we won't do that again," Dino whined. Seungcheol couldn't even stare at the sad boy in front of him

"What if it's too late for sorry now?" Seungcheol asked. I suddenly heard someone sing

"Is it too late now to say sorry~~?"

I turned my head, seeing Jihoon, who stopped singing when he caught me staring. He just puffed his cheeks again.

How cute

"Please, don't do anything that would drag our group down like that again," Seungcheol begged

"Nobody can drag me down, nobody nobody~~"

I couldn't help but smile when I heard Jihoon's voice again. It's just so cute.

"I'm serious," I caught Seungcheol glaring at me. I quickly pursed my lips and nodded.

"This isn't only for them, it's for all of you too," he announced. All the other boys didn't speak, but just gave him a nod

"Bye," He grabbed his bag and left the room with Hansol and Wonwoo. The others did too, including Dino, because they still have to go to their classes

"Phew, I almost died!" Seungkwan hugged the table as soon as the door slammed shut

"They left without you," I muttered, looking at Mingyu

"That's okay, I can hang out with the others for a while, not just them," he shrugged

"Hey Minseul!" Hoshi ran to my seat, doing some random aegyo stuff

"What? You're trying to be cute?" I grouched

"Trying!?!? Girl, please," he shook his head and gave out a sarcastic laugh

"What's your deal?"

"Teach me english!" he pouted and started to kneel down in front of me

"You have Joshua and Hansol,"

"But I want a girl teacher,"

"Mrs. Ahn can teach you,"

"She's 46 years old!"

"At least she can teach you-"

"But I can't hit on her!!" he said a little too loud, before realizing that everyone's been staring at him. He laughed it off and showed them a "peace" sign using his hand.

"If you want to hit on Minseul so bad, why would you tell her?" Boo fabulously asked, while examining his fingernails

"I wasn't trying to hit on her, get your facts straight," Hoshi spat back

"It was so obvious, oh my god!" Seungkwan overreacted. Hoshi fixed his eyes back at me, pouting.

"Please, noona?"

"I'm not your noo-"

"Teach me, seonsaengnim," his eyes literally twinkled. woah what the hell? what kind of effect is that?

"I'm not even accepting your offer ye-"

"SENPAI TEACH ME ENGLISH!" he leaned close and shouted scarily, making me flinch. A second later, he flashed a sweet smile at me

"Sensei, please teach me,"

I facepalmed before turning to look at Boo, who doesn't give a sht about everything that's happening. I'm helpless

"Hoshi," I placed my two fingers on his forehead and pushed it away, "Find an actual english teacher,"

"But I want you!" he cutely whined before starting to smirk at me, changing his voice to a deeper tone saying, "I want you,"

"Ew!" Boo interrupted

"You're vewy vewy cringey," Mingyu spoke differently

"That's not going to convince Minseul to teach you," Seokmin blabbed, "Try something new,"

"Babe!" Hoshi cupped my face with his hands, making me turn me head to face him

"I'm not your babe," I hissed

"You're making her reject you more," Seungkwan rolled his eyes, "I thought you said you're good with ladies?"

"I am!" Soonyoung defended

"With just Mingyu's stare, he can make 99 girls fall for him an instant," Seokmin added, "You gotta beat that,"

"I don't need 99 girls when I have Minseul," Hoshi pouted and did more and more aegyo in front of me

"Please stay away or i'll kick you," I told him

"Then fight me," he began smirking. oh why?

"Why would I fight you?"

"Because you provoke me," he answered, "You're a tease, Minseul,"

"You suck at everything," Mingyu placed his feet on the table in front of him, looking all cool

"Just because you're cool at everything doesn't mean that I already suck at stuffs!" Hoshi retorted, feeling offended as hell

"Okay stop," I told him "I'll teach you english,"

"Your house? Or my house?" he excitedly asked

"Library," I stood up and grabbed my bag. Hoshi started to whine

"But I don't like it there,"

"Why? Because you won't be able to flirt with her in the library?" Seungkwan asked. I saw him smile devilishly at Soonyoung, who smiled back at him, looking the same

istg these guys are creepy

"Are you going? Or not?" I asked. Soonyoung quickly stood up and fixed his things, "Wait for me, sensei!"

I didn't wait for him. Instead, I started to walk my way to the library by myself. I was feeling quite okay until I realized that Soonyoung was already trailing behind me, grinning like an idiot

"Sensei!" he called. Ugh no, please

"Sensei!!"

I ignored him

"Sensei!!!"

keep ignoring him, Minseul. keep ignoring

"Sensei-"

"Will you quit it!?" I faced him, looking irritated as ever. He slowly nodded before pouting again

"You get so mad easily today, sensei,"

"Just shut up!" I tried not to mess my hair. I'm really annoyed idfk why

"Are you on your period or what?"

I stopped walking and turned around, attacking him with a death glare. I pointed the limited edition michael jackson pen Dino bought for me at him, saying, "If you don't stop blabbing about nonsensical things, I'm going to poke your eyes with this pen, okay?"

"But Chan will hate you-"

"I don't freaking care!"

I heard him gulp for a second, "Okay master,"

we walked our way to the library, earning stares and gossips everywhere.

and of course, I started eavesdropping for a bit and I did hear their pointless conversation

"hey it's kwon soonyoung!"

"Isn't he a member of that seventeen thingy?"

"I heard he choreographed the group's performance,"

"At least he tried,"

"Yeah he used to be so famous,"

"Now Up10tion is getting all the fame!"

"They deserve it. Hoshi is getting boring anyway,"

"He looks so much like a deformed chicken trying to dance,"

"He needs plastic surgery,"

"Sooooo ugly,"

without thinking thrice, I grabbed the sweater of that girl and slammed her back on the lockers

"HEY WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM!?" she shrieked. Soonyoung hurriedly pulled me away from the girl

"Next time you insult soonyoung, make sure to keep your voice a little low," I pressed my forearm on her neck, choking her

"Minseul let go!" Soonyoung tried his hardest to lift me up. Fortunately, he was strong enough so he managed to stop me from killing the girl

"Btch!" The girl kept cussing while fixing her hair. Hoshi slightly bowed at them before grabbing my wrist and taking me to the library.

While we were walking, I was so stressed out

"Why the hell did you do that?" he interrogated

"They insulted you!"

"Minseul!" he called and held both of my shoulders, shaking me, "Let them be. It's not your problem if they give such a fuss about how ugly I look like. You can't stop people from judging you,"

"But you're not ugly!"

"Ssshhh," he placed his finger on my mouth, "You're not in the same low level as them, do not steep that low just so you could fight them because it's not worth it,"

I could feel tears slowly filling my eyes up. He noticed it right away and used his sleeves to wipe them off before they could even fall

"Do not cry over something like that again, okay?" he looked concerned. I only nodded and then both of us started to continue walking to the library

when we arrived, of course, students were staring at Soonyoung again. I can't deny that he's pretty famous, but now he just gets bashed more and more

we plopped down the seats and I started to organize the english workbooks on the table, while Hoshi just scattered his workbooks all over the space

"Can't you be clean for once?" i hissed

"My dance moves are always clean, what do you mean by that?"

"Whatever," I rolled my eyes and flipped the pages of the book. Hoshi moved closer, just staring at me

"I don't remember what page I needed to be on," I mumbled

he's still staring

I tried to look for it in the table of contents.

he's still staring

"Page 449, gotcha!" I smiled and looked back at him, "I'll let you read this poem about happiness first, it's amazing!"

he's still staring

"Hoshi what are you-"

"I thought Happiness started with an H," he whined, looking at the book

"Huh? It does-"

"Why does mine start with U?" he smiled. I was too speechless to answer him. That was so damn "cringey"

but I couldn't prevent myself from smiling because it was just so corny

"Our smiles should touch now, you know?" he chuckled

"Get your flirty soul out of you for this moment, we came here to study," I grouched

"Well, ouch," he just sighed

It was pretty good since he's a fast learner. I used the exact technique Joshua uses to tutor me. I'm quite impressed that it works well!

We stopped on an essay about the Wright Brothers

"Do you know them?" I asked Soonyoung. He was hesitant to answer

"Yes?"

"Nice," I nodded

"I lied. I don't know them,"

"They're the brothers who were the first to invent aircraft controls that made fixed-wing powered flight possible," I said and started reading the english essay, loud enough for him to hear. He was just nodding hishead, while making a paper plane

"So, who are the two brothers?" I covered the book with my arm and smiled at him, "Let's see if you were paying attention,"

"Orville and Wilbur...?"

I laughed because he couldn't pronounce Orville well. I find it cute

"Impressive, I thought you weren't listening,"

"Who invented the airplane again?" he asked, making me want to slam my face on the table

"You just said it yourself, The Wright Brothers!"

"Oh, I thought you did, because you're Wright enough for me,"

"Oh my go-"

"Excuse me?" A girl appeared in front of us, she looked nice

except for that two buttons of her blouse left open

I sense a slut

"Can I sit here for a bit?" she smiled

"Sure, just keep it down please, thanks," I told her and tried to continue the studying session with hoshi

"So, at December 17-"

"Hey you're Kwon Hoshi, right?" the girl interrupted, making Soonyoung nod

"Umm, miss? We're studying," I started tapping my pen on the table.

"Omg I'm a huge fan!" she squealed. I rolled my eyes, hearing that annoying anime girl voice

"Really? That's-"

"Soonyoung, are you seriously going to entertain her?" I covered my face with my hands

"Hold on, I got a call," Hoshi stood up and left us for a while

I let out and sigh and continued to write down some questions for Hoshi to answer later when he comes back, when it got wet with coffee

"Hey watch it!" I stared at the girl, who just obviously spilled her damn drink on the table, it even stained my coat, making me take it off

"Hey slut, listen to this," She gritted her teeth, "I don't know what the hell you made Soonyoung drink just so he could fall head over heels for you, but you're going down,"

"First of all, I didn't make him drink everything to act that way. Second, what the hell is your problem!?"

"You are my problem. I was in this school first and I've been his fan ever since,"

damn, hoshi's got crazy fangirls

[A/N: not me tho haha k.]

"So?" I raised my brows

"I deserve to have him, not you!" she pointed at me.

"I'm sorry but Soonyoung has standards. Unfortunately, you don't meet 'em," I gritted my teeth

"You're such a slut,"

"Hi! I'm back," Hoshi smiled at both of us. "Woah Minseul what happened to your books? And your uniform too?"

I flashed a glare at the hideous girl and she was eyeing me closely

"Here, let me help," he sat down beside me, fished his handkerchief out his pocket and gently wiped the sleeves of my coat

"Wear my coat for the moment, it's cold," he took it off and put it on my shoulders

I stared at the girl and and she looked like a steaming vegetable. For some reason, I found myself smirking

ha, enjoy the show, btch
