Solji

I was in my room studying all sorts of stupid things I had learned in that damned school. Gosh, I'm so sick of it! I'm sick of studying. I lightly threw my pen across the table as I rubbed my face and sigh in frustration. When will this stop? When will my mom realize that I'm not a studying robot? I swiped my hair to the back and stared at the book blankly. I didn't even know what I'm studying.

Knock Knock

I look at the door as it creak opened, revealing my mom faking a smile to me. I forced my lips to stretched out a smile as she come in and sit on the bed.

"How's your studies?"

"Good."

I nodded a little. It sucks! It really is. I pursed my lips while looking at her staring at my widely opened book before she averted her gaze to me.

"You have be rank number 1 again, dear. I know it's hard but it's for your future."

Future, my ass! I'm fucking dying right here and all you ever think was me ranking number 1. Mom, it's just a fucking number! Gosh, I feel like I'm gonna yell those words to her. But I held in and fake a smile.

"I will, mom."

That was the usual answer that I gave to her. She stood up and pat my shoulder then left. Just like that! She didn't even ask me if I'm already eaten, if I get enough sleep and stuff. I guess I'm just a robot to her. I turned back to my table and slump my face on it. I just hope that this will end soon. I'm so sick of it.

While I was letting out the thoughts lingering in my mind, my phone suddenly rang. I sit upright and took my phone.

Yoonie.

I smiled. She'll definitely kill me if she found out I gave her this nickname. I answer the call.

"Yes?"

["Solji-ah!"]

That was again, the both troublemakers were together, yelling from my phone. I sarcastically chuckled at their childish behavior.

"What is it?"

["What are you doing? Let's go out!"]

["She's studying, you bastard! Oh gosh, Jeon! Can you please shut up?! I want to talk to her alone."]

["Pft, fine then! I'm going to sleep anyway."]

I giggled at them. They looked cute whenever they get into fights. But a few minutes after that, they'll reconcile. What a freak.

"What do you guys want?"

["Did your mom saw the red paint? Is she mad about it?"]

"Nope, I've told ahjumma to keep it secret. Seriously guys, I'm a dead meat if she knew it."

["Yeah, you're right."]

"Oh, anyway, did Jungkook sleepover your house again?"

["Of course I am! I'm her knight for 3 days!"]

["Just sleep, Jeon! Gosh, you're so noisy!"]

I can feel Yoon hitting him though. Well, that's what she always do to him. I smile widely to hear them fighting.

["Oh, Solji. Sorry, this bastard is very annoying. And yes, he's sleeping over my house since my dad were out of Seoul and he sent his parents to Perth for their anniversary. What a rich ass he is. Tch."]

"He always is."

I mutter. At least he's free to do anything he want but me? I'm rich too but I just a human robot that studied 24/7 nonstop. I sighed. Yoon must noticed that I was quiet for quite some times that she'd speak up.

["Stop studying if you're tired. Get a rest or something. Just ignore your mom. Fight back if it need. You're not a robot, Ahn Solji."]

I smiled bitterly as I stare at the book. My heart want to do that but I can't. I'm too weak to do that. Since my dad died, I'd only obeyed to my mom. For me, she's my priority right now but I don't know, for these past few years she kept insisting me to study well that I got stressed out. I sighed.

"Who said I'm studying right now. I'm going to sleep already. Studying is boring, okay?"

["Tch, that's my girl! Now, get some sleep. I going to do some... Yah, Jeon Jungkook! What the fuck are you doing in the kitchen?!"]

I cringed my face and took away the phone from my ear. Gosh, I think she'll break my eardrum. She's so loud! Then, I place back my phone on my ear.

["Yah, see you at school tomorrow. Aigoo, this bastard is causing a trouble again."]

"He's a troublemaker after all."

["Yeah, that's right. I'll get going. Bye! Sleep tight!"]

She then hung up the phone call. I stared at the phone for awhile. I wish I was with them right now. I want to be happy too. I feel so suffocated and it made me feel dying. I sighed. Why can't I be like other peers? Why can't I be free like the other teenagers in my age? Fuck my life! Fuck studies! I hate everything!

Once again, I slumped my face on the book and close my eyes tightly. I wish dad was here. I wish mom would realize that I'm not a study robot. I wish my life was better than this. That's all I want. Nothing more or less.

I sat up back and stare at the book for awhile then to the bed. I wanted to sleep right now. I'm so tired. My eyes almost gave up on me. I then press the standby button on my phone and sighed. I was only 11.45pm. and I need to stay up until 4am to study. I had almost 5 hours more hours to study. Is this what you call life? I'm a corpse. A studying corpse. Despite getting ranked first, I wasn't that happy. I'm depressed. The more I get ranked first, the higher hopes my mom get. The more often she'll forced me.

"Just a few more months, Solji. Then you'll graduated."

I'd only said that to comfort myself but it doesn't change the fact that my mom would send me off to US to further my studies. My life of being a studying robot will never end. Not until my mom satisfy with me.

Yoongi

I was alone again this morning. Still the same. Students giving me skeptical look as I walked down the hallway. Last night, it still give shock. I was surprised to see Yoon and Jungkook buying ice creams at the stall that I worked now. God, thinking about them made me feel embarrassed to face them.

I went in the class. It was still early. There's only a few students there but they're all sleeping unless Solji. She was studying but she doesn't look good at all. I draw my steps to my seat and hang my bag at the side.

"Don't you get any sleep?"

I asked when I saw her yawning as if she was awfully tired. She look at me and sighed heavily.

"Why do you even care?"

"You're actually my seatmate."

She then stop writing some notes on the book and look at me. Then she close her book and stare at the door for awhile.

"Look, I'm stopping myself for being a nosy bitch like you said so please, don't interfere my life."

She spat before she left the classroom. I was taken aback by her words. I didn't know she took my words seriously. I guess I'm way too harsh to her last time. I sighed heavily then I look at her book that fell on the floor as I grab it and accidentally saw the content inside.

"I feel so suffocated."

My heart stopped beating when I saw those words. What an actual fuck does she wrote it? I quickly close it back when I saw another student came in. I decided to walk around the school. Just as soon as I left the class, someone drag me by my collar to somewhere I don't know where the hell it is. I was then pushed on the floor that my elbow scratched a little. I winced pain.

"We have some unsettled things to settle."

It was the previous gang that dissed me openly in front of the students. I look at them as I stood up, attempting to fight back but I'd only received a hard punch on my cheekbone as I fall down on the floor once again.

"What do you want from me?"

I asked, loud and clearly. But they only laughed at me as one of them crouched in front of me with a smirk on.

"I want you vanish from my sight because it disgust me to see a piece of shit like you."

He said as he pull his arm up, trying slap me. I close my eyes, waiting for the slap on land on my already bruised cheek but nothing happen.

"But first of all, I want you to die in front of my eyes because it'll make my eyes feel refreshed."

I heard as I opened my eyes. It was Jungkook holding his wrist tight in his grip as he pull him up harshly and push him away that his back bumped on the wall. I saw Yoon running toward me as she look at me in concern.

"You okay? Ugh, I don't think so."

She cringed as soon as she saw the bruise on my cheek. I look away from her as she was way to close to me that my heart were beating so fast.

"You little shit! What the hell is wrong with you? You have an unsettled thing, right? Fuck it yourself, bastard!"

She yelled. Jungkook look at her and winked playfully. She just winked back and then look at me.

"Let's go to the infirmary."

I didn't get to reply her but they're already pull me up carefully and drag me to the infirmary. I didn't talk to them, not even smile. I just followed them behind as they silently walk me to the infirmary.

"You should try to defend yourself at least."

I heard Jungkook said as he glance at me from his shoulder. I just lowered my head, staring at the floor for awhile until I felt finger pulling up chin gently. I look at the side just to see Yoon flashing a warm smile to me.

"Chin up. They'll beat you up again if you don't."

I just formed a small smile to her as she ruffled my hair. But then, Jungkook hold her wrist and shook his head.

"You can only do that to me. I'm jealous."

She yanked away her hand and punch his shoulder hard. He only let out a playful laugh before hanging his arm on her shoulder like usually. I smile but at the same time I felt weird feelings crept into my heart whenever I saw them making friendly gestures. Why do I even feel like this?

"We're here!"

She exclaimed as they led me in. I sit on the bed since Jungkook insist me to and watched Yoon searching for some iodine.

"Found it!"

She exclaimed as she gladly went to me and help me to treat the bruise. I just let her be with Jungkook watching her with a smile.

"You two look like a lovely couple."

He said. Yoon immediately stop what she's doing as she glare at him. She look annoyed to him for some reason as she then continue to treat me.

"Shut up."

She mutter as she finished her last touch in my bruise. Jungkook just smile at her and wink at me knowingly. I look away from him because it's actually awkward for a guy to wink to another guy. Unless he's gay. He then meekly lean beside me to whisper something.

"Tell her to date you. She'll be happy."

My breath just stop when I heard that. I look at him in disbelief as he had his face crept with a cheeky smile. I then averted my gaze to her as she look at me.

"What?"

"I like you."
