Chapter 9 - The beginning of it all

As soon as they walked away from the school, they saw Lee Nami. She was standing by a car, and when she saw them, she walked over.

- Look who it is. Hi.

She smiled and started looking at Cheon Tae Ho.

Meanwhile, Ho Su Min and Pak Nuri tensed up when Lee Nami approached them.

- What are you doing here?

Kim So Hee asked indifferently.

Cheon Tae Ho smirked, waiting for something interesting to happen.

- Trust me. I'm not thrilled about this either.

Lee Nami focused her gaze on Kim So Hee.

- Then why are you here?

Ho Su Min asked.

- It's a long story. All you need to know is that I need Kim So Hee to come with me.

Kim So Hee raised an eyebrow and looked at Lee Nami with suspicion.

- And why is that?!

Pak Nuri said angrily.

Even Cheon Tae Ho was a little surprised because he didn't expect this.

- If I knew, I'd tell you right away. But I honestly don't know.

From how Lee Nami said it, it was clear she was telling the truth.

- Then why do you need me at all?

Kim So Hee said with a light smile.

- My father told me to bring you to our house. I don't know the details.

Kim So Hee smiled as if she understood everything, while the others continued to stare at her. She lowered her head for a moment, then suddenly looked directly at Lee Nami with a confident gaze.

- Then tell him to deal with his problems with "her" himself. And don't drag me into this. Got it?

Everyone was shocked, including Cheon Tae Ho.

- What?

Lee Nami asked, stunned.

- That's it. I'm leaving. Bye.

Kim So Hee walked off, waving her hand without turning around, leaving everyone standing in confusion.

- I guess we're not hanging out today.

Ho Su Min said.

Cheon Tae Ho looked at him as if he was out of his mind and hit him on the back of the head.

- This isn't the time for that.

- Well then, I'm going too.

Lee Nami went back to the car.

- So, what should we do?

Lee Min Na asked.

- Ehh. Wait here.

Cheon Tae Ho said sternly but with a hint of worry in his voice. He threw his backpack at Ho Su Min's face.

- I'll be quick.

And he quickly ran after Kim So Hee before she could get too far.

- I'm really worried.

Pak Nuri said, looking at Ho Su Min.

- About Kim So Hee?

Ho Su Min asked.

- About Cheon Tae Ho.

- Huh?

Ho Su Min was surprised.

"Who knows what Kim So Hee will do to him when he catches up. She can do anything when it comes to 'her'."

Pak Nuri thought.

- But I'm worried about Kim So Hee.

Ho Su Min said sadly.

- Has Lee Nami always caused her problems?

He asked.

- Of course not always. Mostly, she pesters Han Yeonwon.

Pak Nuri replied.

- Han Yeonwon?

- Oh! Right, you and Cheon Tae Ho transferred after she moved to another class. Long story short, Han Yeonwon was quiet and shy, so people made fun of her, especially Lee Nami and her friends.

Pak Nuri briefly explained.

- Ah, I see.

"Wonder what's going on with Cheon Tae Ho and Kim So Hee."

Ho Su Min thought.

He started looking in the direction where Kim So Hee and Cheon Tae Ho had gone.
