*CHAPTER 14*
🪷🪷*MI JIN AH'S POV*🪷🪷
The day ended.
Nothing special happened.
Persistent as ever—
The crazy media was still waiting.
I left school.
My phone vibrated.
Again—
Anonymous:
"All eyes on you. They are investigating."
Huh.
Did he think I needed his help?
***
*THURSDAY*
I walked into the school.
Students crowded around the billboard.
I walked slowly.
But—
Before I could even arrive—
They all ran away.
Something was wrong.
Somewhere.
But—
Who cared.
It was them—
Who decided to fear me.
I looked up.
New names.
*GOLDEN 10*
Again.
*KANG SEO WOO — RANK 2*
*WOO JIN AH — RANK 3*
Ah.
So they had already found replacements.
Wow.
I left the billboard.
Walked to class.
Not to my surprise—
Two new faces.
A very cold, serious one.
And—
A lovely one.
Smiling.
Huh.
He even dared to sit on my seat.
I walked to him.
Then—
Stopped.
He stood up.
Smiling.
Extended his hand.
Woo Jin:
"Hello. I am Woo Jin Ah. Nice to meet you, Mi Jin Ah."
Who cared.
I pushed him aside.
He didn't look shaken.
Woo Jin:
"The cold type, I guess. I just liked your seat, so I sat here. Do you mind if we exchange?"
I didn't even look at him.
I put my head on the desk.
Sleeping.
***
*BREAKTIME*
I woke up.
No one in class.
Suddenly—
I locked eyes with a familiar face.
He walked toward me.
Woo Jin.
Woo Jin:
"Hey, I was waiting for you. Why aren't you going to the cafeteria?"
I ignored him.
Stood up.
And he followed.
As soon as I entered—
The whole cafeteria turned silent.
Typical.
Woo Jin:
"Wondering what's happening, huh? Some rumors have been circulating. They say you're a psycho. They say you're evil. Who even dares to spread false rumors nowadays? Whoever it is needs a lesson."
He leaned closer.
Woo Jin:
"Do you want me to deal with them for you? I noticed you're too quiet. That's why these people are lying about you being a psychopath."
I stopped.
Huh.
What was wrong with him?
Why did it feel like he knew too much about me?
Woo Jin:
"What's wrong? You think I'm lying?"
I ignored him.
Ordered my food.
Then—
Walked to my usual seat.
*TABLE 3 — JAE IN'S*
He sat opposite me.
Woo Jin:
"You know, I am wondering… why do you sit here? I heard you are Rank 99. Is it because—"
Me:
"Can you leave me alone?"
I screamed.
He looked around.
Woo Jin:
"Okay, I get it. You're mad. What did I do wrong? Tell me."
What was wrong with this guy?
I stood up.
Leaving the cafeteria.
The last person I saw—
KANG SEO WOO
Looking at me.
With cold eyes.
Something more in them.
But—
I couldn't identify it.
