I walked towards my house very slowly because I was tired. I got home at 18:00. I used to drive around by bus because I didn't want to be home. I was surprised that some people seemed to be taking all my things out of the house.
"Ahjussis. Please stop. What's the matter?" I asked while blocking them.
"Ah, you haven't paid the rent this month. It's been three days. We were told to kick you out."
"Ney? Please don't throw me out. I'll pay next week when I get a paycheck." I said with pleading hands.
"Next week? Can't do. We have to kick you out right now. You're also late to pay every month."
"Jebal ahjussi, don't throw me out."
They had finished doing their job then they left in a tub car parked in front of my house.
I picked up a suitcase containing my clothes and school uniform and a school bag containing my textbooks. I walked along the sidewalk looking for a place to sleep tonight. But all the shops are not yet closed. If I asked to stay overnight, they would definitely scold me.
I stopped walking because my feet were tired. I crouched on the sidewalk hugging my body. The air is always cold when it is outside at night.
Tik Tik Tik
Small rain sounds could be heard wetting the roof in the shop. I don't know where else to go.
Brooms!
I heard someone's car pull over right in front of me. The owner came out and sat me down. Then he aligned his position with me and held my hand.
"Aren't you cold? Why is it outside at night?"
I raised my head. Hyunjin's? I decided to go with him after telling him about what happened to me earlier. At first I didn't want to go with him. But he was worried about me.
I just looked at the tiny speck of rain from the window of the car. Not long after, we stopped in front of an apartment that looked luxurious. Why did he bring me here? I don't want to ask because my position here is only one who is being helped.
Hyunjin came out and held my hand next to her hand again carrying my suitcase. We entered the apartment until we arrived in a room.
"This is my apartment. I'm here if I want to be alone or think about something. So I'm rarely here. You can stay here until you find a place." Said Hyunjin when we got in.
"You can tidy up your stuff now."
As he was leaving, I held his hand. I reflexively did that spontaneously.
"Hyunjin. Gomawo."
('Well, that made me nervous.')
"Ah, no need. I just did what I was supposed to. Then I'm leaving."
Say it and then get out. Outside, Hyunjin leaned against the door of the room while holding onto her chest.
('Do I look stupid? My heart beats too fast.')
('I'll get out of here soon.')
In the morning at school, I was in the IPA lab because I forgot my notebook left behind when we practiced here. I want to get out when I get the stuff I'm looking for. But someone came in by opening the door very hard.
"Wae's? You're surprised I'm here?"
"Nayeon's? Pikyeo." I said and wanted to leave. But he grabbed my hair from behind.
"Don't I tell you? I, I hate you so much with him. Don't you understand?" He said in my ear with great emphasis.
"Ne. I get it." Reply fear.
"JUSTMAL!!! DISAPPEAR YOU!!!
Nayeon poured the gasoline she had hidden behind her around me and threw a match. I was so scared. I didn't know he would go this far.
"Nayeon-a! Geumannae! Jebal!" I pleaded with tears.
"MWO? Y'KNOW? THE FEELING I WAS HOLDING? HE ALWAYS LOOKS AT YOU WHEN I'M WITH HIM! I HATE THE LOOK IN HER WARM EYES AT YOU! EVERYTHING WOULD BE FINE IF THERE WASN'T YOU! GET GONE!"
He kept yelling at me while the fire continued to spread and I was in the middle. After he said that, he left and locked the lab. I hugged my own body. Here's end. It was really the end of my life story. I started having trouble breathing and I fainted.
TRIIIIIIIIIGGGGG
"A schoolgirl is on fire in an IPA lab! Help her!"
Everyone gets distracted. They flocked towards the place that the student said. And it turned out to be true. A student was lying inside with a fire burning.
While in class XII-A, Minho who was reading was curious about the commotion that made his class quiet. There are only four members of SKZ. They were indeed famous for being very calm no matter what the commotion was.
"Of! Why so quiet? It's just us." Said Han who was starting to be curious.
"Eitherway. I heard there was a little problem." Minho answered the less concerned without taking his eyes off the book being read.
"Where?" Ask Hyunjin.
"Not knowing." Answer Minho again.
"Should we check it?" Ask Bangchan.
Then came a student who was breathing heavily because he was busy shouting and running to convey the events he saw. The student seemed troubled speaking in front of SKZ while holding the doorknob.
"What's wrong?" Ask Hyunjin.
"Speak." Tell Bangchan.
"A student got caught in a fire in the lab!" He said with an irregular breath.
"MWO? WHO?" Han asked surprised.
"Looks, Kim Y/N!"
"Saekkii! Why just say it now?!?!"
Minho's very emotional. She ran out followed Hyunjin with a panicked face. Then Bangchan and Han also came out to follow them. As soon as all the SKZ members came, Minho broke through the crowd and tried to open the door. Without a second thought, he broke down the door and carried the poor girl.
Minho put Y/N in front of the crowd to get first aid. Fortunately he did not catch fire and was just short of breath.
"Y/N-a. You injured? Breathe this." Minho panicked as he gave a breathing aid out of his pocket while the people who were looking whispered.
"Who did this?"
"Is this just a game?"
"It must be just a pretense."
"Aigo aigo, looking for attention."
Hearing that, Hyunjin got emotional and yelled at everyone who was whispering.
"YES! YOU CAN SAY THAT NOW! SHOULDN'T YOU GUYS HELP HER?!?!"
"Hey! Why does the lab burn? Who did it!?" Asked the newly arrived Headmaster followed by the other Teachers.
"Only he knows." Show the student to me.
"Y/N-a, who did it?" Minho asked quietly after I breathed back to normal. I wanted to answer honestly, but Nayeon was standing not far from the crowd with her sharp eyes and hands folded across her chest.
"Yes.....Uh. na....."
"Who?" Ask Minho again.
"Nayeons."
"Mwo?"
"No way."
"He's been slandered."
"Obviously not Nayeon."
Everyone doesn't believe that Nayeon did it. Nor did Nayeon accept it. He defended himself.
"JITMAL! He accused me of seeking attention! He did it himself!"
"Why did he hurt himself? Wae's? You scared?"
