This is it.
She just needed a provocation to blurt out all of her nasty acts.

"D-do you love him? Jungguk?"

She scoffs.
"Of course not. Well, maybe I did like him a bit earlier, but you— you had to intervene. Again. So no, I just need him to notch up my game a bit."

Watching the grimace that makes appearance on my face, she smirks satisfied, taking a few steps towards me. She grabs hold of my jaw harshly, glaring.

"I am going to date Jungguk, like it or not."

She rolls her eyes to leisurely look at the painted nails of her free hand.

"And to ensure that you keep your mouth shut, I'll be teaching you another lesson."

Smiling she stands up, and taking a few steps back, she extends her hand to her friend without removing eyes from me.

"Scissors."

My eyes widen.
What, is she seriously—?

"Uh, RaeYu, will that really be necessary? I thought—"

"Just hand me the damn scissors, would ya!"

The echoes of her yelling surround the space, but it isn't only in the room we are in.

Confused, RaeYu looks around.
"What—?"

Just then, the doors to the room are kicked open, with multiple persons entering it.

Jungguk enters, arms folded to his chest, wearing a scowl.

"Quite a show you put up there, RaeYu. Everyone's truly entertained."

Said girl just stands there startled with the sudden action that took place. Her eyes then move towards me on the ground.

"U-Uh, we were just talking-"

"That's enough. We've very well heard what you were talking about." it is the principal who interrupts her this time.

"The whole school did, in fact." Taehyung adds.

I watch as RaeYu's face pales second by second with fear and confusion. I must say it's fun to watch it, but it still isn't enough, given what she'd done to Tae.

"What do you mean by-"

"You were on the school's broadcast system. Every student has heard your every word."
Jungguk states while helping me stand.

"You okay?" his question makes me smile and nod.

"You— you all set me up!"

And she still has the guts to talk.

"That's enough RaeYu. I expect you in my office in less than five minutes." having said this, the principal walks out with the other two teachers, and we follow suit.

"Oh, by the way, the mic was installed right behind where you were standing, on that desk."

Jungguk informs nonchalantly, an arm wrapped around my shoulders.
He pauses for a second to look at her.
"And we never were a thing. Never would be." He adds, escorting me out.

"I hope you have fun being famous for this beautiful act of yours today. But wait— I think the word I'm really looking for is — notorious."
Taehyung snickers, walking out behind us.
