9. Back To School
{ Author's P.O.V }
A week had passed since the incident at school happened. The lives of Eun Bi, Eun Byul, Taehyung and Jungkook were starting to finally calm down, though the occurrences of last week still kept lingering in their minds.
~~~
Jungkook was still skipping school, he had made tremendous progress in his games and was whining when his mum told him to start going to school tomorrow.
~~~
Taehyung had started to stay in the character of Sherlock Holmes. He kept thinking upon theories about last week's incident. Unlike last week, Taehyung was no more angry at Eun Byul after seeing Eun Bi's bruise. He also noticed that Eun Bi had been ignoring him at high since last week. An example was how she would run away from him whenever he called her. Under these circumstances, he had came to the conclusion that his brother must also have been at fault and Eun Byul was already going through her punishment as suspension. He was actually really excited because starting tomorrow, Eun Byul's suspension was over.
~~~
Eun Byul had almost forgotten about the incident. She was busy in playing games and talking non-stop once again. She had been talking without breathing the whole day because she was so excited to go to school with Eun Bi. She was preparing her bagpack, stationary and books like a little kid starting elementary school.
~~~
The one who was the most effected by the incident was Eun Bi. A kind of trauma had grown inside her due to the incident. But she was given much courage by Eun Byul and with her now accompanying her to school, her worries faded away to a great extent. Even though she was afraid of Jungkook, she was sure she could smack a word of sense in him with her Unnie there. She was actually the person who was most happy with her Unnie's comeback to school. She had also prepared a list of pranks and lies which she could use against Jungkook. Even though a coward, she was Eun Byul's sister, the sister of the person who was never afraid to pick a fight against men if they bothered her sister. All in all, her love, affection and respect for her Unnie had sky rocketed after the incident. Meanwhile, Eun Byul kept telling her ways to kill Jungkook.
Finally, after a peaceful night, the morning arrived and the four were now running here and there in hustle and bustle inside their houses, trying to get ready as soon as they can but someone could not find their sock while someone's history book was missing.
After what seemed like an endless struggle, the four set off to school after a fancy and heavy breakfast.
{ Eun Byul's P.O.V }
I stood outside the classroom, tapping my feet on the ground as I waited for the teacher to call me in. Loud voices and footsteps from the corridor told me that someone was hurrying to their class.
The footsteps grew louder and clearer as they got closer. Finally, when two boys turned through the corridor and ran towards me, I heaved a sigh.
What a way to start a day.
Taehyung and Jungkook stopped before me, huffing heavily.
"Look who's late. I guess the saying is true, 'Those who are late are losers.'"
"Since when was there a saying like that?" Taehyung asked as he straightened up before giving me a 'lie and die' look.
"I just made it up," I said with an innocent look, "Fool."
"Hey, you-"
"Hyung, let's go in. We're already late," Jungkook said, patting Taehyung's back before going in.
"What are you waiting for? Did you not heard your most innocent and naive brother in history?" I asked him with a challenging look.
"I'm not gonna fall for your childish tricks," he said, before going in, "I hope you fail your introduction miserably and become embarrassed," saying that with a devilish grin, he closed the door behind him.
I scoffed. Just then, the door opened again and the teacher appeared, "I've been calling you in for a while. Do you want to come in?" she asked me with a smile.
Her figure fragile, skin clear and hair straight and black, she looked really young and pretty.
This teacher is so sweet. I already like her.
Returning a smile, I bowed in apology, "I'm sorry. I'm coming in now."
{ Author's P.O.V }
As Eun Byul stepped in, Miss Cheong gestured her to stand in the front.
Stepping up front, she smiled, "Nice to meet you all! I'm Lee Eun Byul. I've transferred here from America. I hope to have a good time here and make many new friends ," she finished and some of the students clapped for her while some whispered how exact she looked like Eun Bi, whereas some students complimented how confident and pretty she looked.
"Eun Byul and... Taehyung."
At the teacher mentioning their names in one sentence, Eun Byul and Taehyung glared at each other before looking at her.
"Did you two studied in the same school in America?" Miss Cheong asked.
They both nodded before answering, "Yes." in unison.
Smiling, she clasped her hands together, "Then you two must be friends?"
"NO!" They both exclaimed at once before glaring at each other.
"Oh-Okay," Miss Cheong nodded, "Anyways, Eun Byul, go sit with Taehyung."
"WHY?!" yelled the both.
"What do you mean 'why'? Can't you both see?" she asked and that was when that the reality hit Taehyung and Eun Byul.
"There are no other desks," Taehyung whispered in disappointment.
"I-I'll share with Eun Bi-"
"Eun Bi is sitting on a chair, can't you see? And everyone else as well except for Taehyung. The desk in the last one is the only extra one and since you two joined recently, you two have to share it," Ms. Cheong explained, now a bit annoyed at the two's petty argument, "End of discussion."
With no more room to argue with the annoyed teacher, Eun Byul and Taehyung gave up.
Eun Byul walked up to Taehyung's desk and sat down after they both gave each other a glare.
Finally, like a normal day, Miss Cheong started her lesson. With her posture straight and eyes focused, Eun Byul did her best to pay attention to the lesson.
5 minutes passed.
Then 10 minutes.
And 15 minutes.
And with the 20th minute, Eun Byul's head met with the desk. Sitting in the last, no one noticed as she placed her head between her arms on the desk behind her book.
Taehyung poked her arm with his pencil, "Half of this desk is mine. So, don't consume my space, sleepyhead," he said before starting to poke her head with his pencil.
At his words and actions, Eun Byul's head shot up in annoyance, "Excuse me. I was definitely on my side of this desk, blockhead," she said, slapping his pencil away from her head.
Not wanting to make much noise, Taehyung took out a marker and drew a line in-between the desk.
He looked at her with a 'Deal?' expression. Eun Byul gave him a 'whatever' look before going back to her in-lesson sleep session.
After the lecture, Taehyung started copying the content written on the board, "For the record, I'm not gonna lend you my notes from now on."
Lifting her head a bit, Eun Byul scoffed, "Like I need them."
Taehyung made a 'this girl is unbelievable' expression with his mouth opened in irritation before going back to his work.
[ Recess ]
{ Eun Byul's P.O V }
"Let's sit there!" I exclaimed after finally spotting an empty table before rushing over to it.
"Slow down, Unnie. You'll spill your food," Eun Bi said with a chuckled as she came over and sat down opposite to me on the table.
"To be honest, this school's lunch is waay~~ better from the lunch in my American school," I said as I held up the chopsticks. Well, tried to hold the chopsticks but failed.
Man, my chopsticks skills have gone in gutter after not using them all these years.
With some help from Eun Bi, I finally started eating after five minutes. Just when I had took a couple of bites and was rambling to Eun Bi as to how good it tasted, two girls came over to our table.
"Can we sit with you? Everywhere else is full," one of the girls asked.
"Sure!" I smiled before scooting over to Eun Bi's side and gesturing them to sit down.
Settling down, one of them said with a bright smile, "I'm Suzy."
"And I'm Mina," The other one said.
"I'm Lee Eun Byul. Lee Eun Bi's-"
"Twin sister!" Suzy exclaimed, getting some eyes turned to her. Embarrassed, she mumbled a sorry to everyone before turning towards me, "Sorry about that."
"It's okay, Suzy. What makes you so excited though? I'm pretty sure I told you guys about Unnie before," Eun Bi said to her with a chuckle.
"Well, you see-" Suzy started explaining but Mina cut her off.
"It must be because of another TV show she watched," Mina said as she started eating her lunch.
At her words, I and Eun Bi looked at each other.
"Don't tell me it was 'Ouran Highschool Host Club'?" I asked and she looked at me in shock.
* Ouran Highschool Host Club' are a popular anime series.
After that, Suzy, Mina, I and Eun Bi talked throughout the recess. I was happy to be surrounded by people speaking my language. In America, no one but Taehyung could speak Korean in my class other than me. That is why we became such good friends in a few months.
Peeking at the table where Jungkook and Taehyung were sitting with their friends, I scoffed as I saw Taehyung smiling and laughing.
I guess it's really time for us two to find our own friends and get over each other.
I mean look at him, making friends like that.
Good for me. Make new friends and never talk to me again, I'll be pleased.
{ Taehyung's P.O.V }
I bursted out laughing as Hee Chul stuck salad sticks in his ears and pretended to be an alien.
I was glad that Jungkook's friend were very warm to me and I didn't had to just sit with them awkwardly like I did mostly in America.
Behind Hee Chul, I saw Eun Byul smiling continuously like a joker at her new friends.
Tch, look at her.
Make new friends, I don't care.
Now that I'm here and in my gathering of guys, I'll show her my real self.
Not the self who couldn't pronounce 'Saxophone' correctly.
Go away and make new friends. I don't even wanna be friends with you anymore.
To Be Continued...
