Chapter 39

Doeun's POV


I glared at the girl and tried to say something back, but I just couldn't.


"Leave now Jung Chaeryoung." Beomgyu glared. She flipped her hair and strutted away.


I sighed,


"I'm okay, I'll just go to the nurses office to get some bandaids."


TXT looked at me all worried.


"Are you sure? I can carry you." Taehyun said.


"Yeah, what if you fall again?" Beomgyu added.


I shook a hand, "I'll be fine, don't worry."


"Really? Soobin-hyung can easily-


"I'm okay Huening Kai," I ruffled his hair, "Just go to Suzy for now."


His face lit up with a beam and happily went near Suzy and TXT waved me bye. I had to stop by the nurses office before I went to class.


I sat on the bed and I waited for the nurse to come. Suddenly, I saw a daunting figure walking out of the office.


I gasped to see it was Yeonjun. He looked down at where I was because I was sitting, and walked out,


Knocking my books over to the office floor.


I sighed and picked up the books, as I crouched down to get the fallen books. School was the usual routine, with Chaeryoung provoking me, Yeonjun ignoring me, I tried to ignore all the problems in my day. The only people that cheered me up was TXT,


I know, Yeonjun is a part of TXT too, but I was feeling better around them, just not him.


After school, Suzy and I went to the mall to buy gifts for the TXT members.


"Oh, and what are you going to buy for Yeonjun?" Suzy asked me as we were finishing up buying things for the members.


"A skateboard and some clothes." I muttered, "Right, could you ask Soobin to get Yeonjun's clothing size?"


"Just ask Yeonjun," She rolled her eyes playfully.


"미첬어? I don't want him to get the wrong idea on me being a stalker." I exclaimed. "Just ask Soobin!"


"Geez, I was just joking Doeun," she sighed, "Yeonjun must be tiring you out a lot right?"


I felt my shoulders collapse, "Tell me about it."


"He'll come around soon," She patted my back, and I just rolled my eyes.


"We already broke up, I got dumped." I faked a cry, but was I faking it though? I didn't know either.


"Hey, do you want to stay with him or not? You need to fight for him!" Suzy punched the air.


I shrugged, "He's not going to listen to me so there's no point..."


Suzy stroked my back, "Aigoo, poor child."


I sighed again.


"Alright, I'm sorry for bringing up the topic." Suzy shook her head sighing, "Let's go pay for these."


"It's okay," I reassured her, "I'll be fine."


"Wait, but how did you know that he liked skateboarding?" She asked me. "And its winter, how is he going to skateboard?"


"Just..I guess he talked about skateboarding a lot in middle school so I'm just assuming he still does it now." I responded, "And he can use it later when it's spring or the summer."


"Ah..." she nodded in understanding. "You should only buy him the skateboard, you're buying him too much things when he's so mean to you."


I shrugged again. "It's okay,"


Suzy looked at me again and made a face. "Alright then, you're the boss."


The shopping spree ended with us buying all the gifts for the TXT members, I was glad to have them as a friend and I was glad to have Suzy. She bought me a few drinks in Starbucks and we ate hot noodle soup for dinner. We both said our goodbyes and I took the bus home.


| The next day. |


I walked to TXT, and the same routine occurred. I was really getting sick of this...


"Hey Doeun!" Taehyun greeted me as I walked up to them.


"Hi..." I gave a weak smile and Beomgyu patted me on the back.


"Christmas is in 3 days, can you believe it?" Soobin excitedly cheered. I chuckled.


"Suzy and I bought gifts for you guys yesterday, you should've seen how crowded the mall was." I said.


"Ooh really?" Huening Kai gushed. "What did you buy me?"


Suzy stuck her tongue out to provoke him, "Not telling~"


"Suzy you're so cute when you do aegyo." Huening chuckled.


We all looked at the Maknae and back at Suzy.


"Did we just hear that aloud?" Soobin asked.


"I-I meant disgustingly cute!" Huening tried to cover up.


"So you think I'm disgusting?" Suzy teased.


"N-no!"


We all burst into laughter and I just gave a small smile. I wasn't in the mood on laughing or cracking jokes with TXT or seeing someone else's love life go 10x better than mine.


I mean I'm happy for Suzy getting closer with Huening but, I didn't really want to see any couple.


During class, I remained monotone and tried to ignore everything that Chaeryoung did. Lunch was quiet, and I tried to dismiss all the flirting Suzy and Huening Kai did. Beomgyu would occasionally give me glances, signaling if I was okay which I just nodded and smiled.


Taehyun smiled at me and tried to cheer me up with his candy box in his locker, and Soobin offered me cream bread.


They were all so nice I almost forgot the oldest member, Yeonjun. My heart would sink whenever I would hear his name or think about him. I wanted to get rid of this feeling,


I felt like it was draining me. Not to mention Chaeryoung was taunting me with her friends Hyera and some other girl in the hallway, which Yeonjun did nothing to stop.


After school I decided,


Enough is enough...


I didn't care that Chaeryoung was attacking me, but I couldn't go down from Yeonjun like this. I needed to know everything from the start before I took a break from high school. I stared at my phone that was in my hand, and my hands became sweaty.
I ignored my heartbeat sprinting out of my chest and,


I thumbed a message as my heart broke a sweat,


Doeun_Kang: Meet me in the 2400 hallway after school.


No one's POV


Chaeryoung smirked as she read the message from Doeun.


Finally, to finish Doeun, once and for all.


Chaeryoung slammed her locker shut with makeup spilling out of it.
She was wondering what Doeun wanted, perhaps another warning sign to get away from Yeonjun? No, perhaps to attack her?


Chaeryoung shamelessly strutted to the 2400 hallway and saw Doeun lifelessly leaning against a locker. She smirked before walking up to her.


Chaeryoung huffed and drew herself tall to exert dominance,
