YOUR POV

The following week, right before classes, Jihyun, Woohyun and I were called to go to the Principal's Office.

"Heol! What did we do?!" Woohyun asked.

"I don't recall doing something bad!" said Jihyun.

"He probably just want to talk to us. I mean, last Friday our club opened so... yeah... maybe that's it!" I said rather weakly.

We knocked on the door of Principal Park's office. We heard him said come in and the three of us went inside.

"Ah! Please take a seat you three." He said. We sat on the chairs before his table. "So! How did the first day of clubs go?" he asked.

The three of us looked at each other and started smiling.

"Well sir..."

We told him what happened the moment we started waiting for new members or requests, right to the point we returned Irene's ring to her.

"Hahaha! What an exciting first day for the Help Club! Hahaha! I wish you all the best!"

"Thank you sir!" we replied to him.

"Now then, the reason I called you three here is this: I would like to express my gratitude to the three of you."

"Gratitude sir?" Jihyun asked.

"I don't quite follow you sir..." I said.

"What I meant was, I thank you three for changing the Black Roses' attitudes towards the students of this school. I've received so many reports last Friday saying the students no longer fear them and that they've stopped bullying!"

"Ah yes sir. Well, the Black Roses are working you see at her brother's café." Woohyun said as he pointed at me.

"Oh! So it's true! The rumours! Hahaha!"

"Yes sir. My brother actually asked them to change since he heard what they did to me during my first day here." I said.

"What do you mean?"

I told him what happened during my first day at school.

"Good gracious! They did that to you?!"

"Yes sir but, I'm fine with them now. I'm friends with them already."

"I see, I see. Well, that's good to hear then. At least no serious harm was done to you."

"Except for her heart..." Woohyun whispered.

"What was that?" Principal Park asked him. I shot a glare at Woohyun.

"Ah! Nothing sir! Just saying, we might miss a lot on our Math class!" said Woohyun.

"Of course, of course! Hahaha! You may all go back to your classroom now. I do hope all the best for the Help Club!"

We got back to our classroom while Sir. K.Will was still inside.

"Why did Principal Park call you three?" Wonho asked me as I sat down.

"Oh um, he asked us about the opening of our club last Friday... and... um..."

"And what?"

"He thanked us for changing you guys."

"Oh... I see. That's... okay then."

"Yeah... you guys really have changed."

"How much so?"

"Let's see, we don't argue too much anymore. That's one. Oh and the rest of the Black Roses aren't terrifying as they used to be."

"Yeah... true..."

"And you smile a lot now."

After I said this, Wonho looked at me.

"Well, it is true." I said.

"Really?"

"Yah, do you not know your own self? Hahaha."

"I guess I do smile a lot nowadays."


After classes, the four of us went to our club room to wait for any new members or requests.

The clock was again ticking.

And ticking.

Continuously ticking.

"I can honestly hear Spongebob in my head saying 'I'm waiting! I'm waiting! I'm waiting!" said Woohyun.

And then, a knock on the door! The four of us stood up ready to greet who it is and then, it was Shownu! And the rest of the Black Roses!

"Are you guys going to join us now?" Wonho asked.

"Not a chance." said Jooheon.

"Then what the heck are you all doing here?!" asked Woohyun.

"To chill and hang out before going to the café." said Minhyuk as he sat on the sofa while the others started lounging around!

"Yah! This ain't a lounge you know!" said Jihyun.

"Ssshhh." Hyungwon said before he went to sleep.

"Wake us up half an hour later." said I.M.

"Aish..." I said as I sat down again.

"Honestly you guys... wow." said Wonho.

Half an hour later...

"Okay! I'm going now! Bye! Time for soccer practice!" said Woohyun as grabbed his things and headed for the door.

"Yah! Go straight home! Don't you dare go playing computer games again!" Jihyun shouted at him.

"Don't worry! I won't!" He shouted back and he was gone.

"SSSSHHHH!!!!" It was Hyungwon again who apparently was woken up by the shouting.

"Yah, can you do something about this?" Jihyun asked me.

"Well um..." I said but I saw Wonho looked at me and then he looked away.


FLASHBACK, LAST SATURDAY

"Guys! Thanks so much for finding my necklace! If there's anything I can do to repay you!" I told the Black Roses.

"Anything?" Kihyun asked.

"Yes! Anything! But no money please."

"Sure! Um, but anything?" I.M asked and I nodded.

"Well..."

END OF FLASHBACK


"They asked to hang out here?" Jihyun said.

I nodded. "I'm really sorry! I owe them."

"Aish, as if I can do anything about that... Well, I just hope they won't do anything to mess up this place."

"Don't worry, we can be like your um... bodyguard!" said Jooheon.

"Yeah!" said Minhyuk.

"Really?" Jihyun asked them and both nodded.

"Good! Now go out and take your posts."

Ah... we're not like that kind of bodyguards." said Jooheon.

"We're the ones who stay inside to really make sure you guys are safe." said Minhyuk.

"Heol, we really did CHANGE them A LOT." Jihyun told me.

"Yes we did!..."


That night...

KRYSTAL'S POV

"That blasted Myungsoo! How dare he trick me like that! Using my own trap against me! Those two nerds would really pay when I see them again!"

"What now Krystal?" It was Sooyoung on the phone.

"I'm going to make sure Myungsoo is humiliated. He can't just get away with what he did to me!"

"Well okay then but, make sure it won't backfire on you..."

"I KNOW THAT!"

"Okay! Okay! See you tomorrow then."

I opened my phone's Gallery and started looking through the pictures there.

"I guess it's time to delete all these pictures with him..."

And then, I saw one folder which gave me an idea.

"Let's see if you're still part of the Top 10 Most Handsome list of our school! Hahaha!"

The next day...


YOUR POV

"Guys! Open your phones! Check the News Club's latest article!" Seola said as she came running inside our classroom.

Jihyun, Woohyun, Eunji, Ken, Irene and I were all talking to each other; Wonho, Minhyuk & Hyungwon (who all came early again) were woken up by Seola's shouting; the rest of our classmates were either talking to each other or studying. We all grabbed our phones and went to the News Club's website.


LATEST!

KIM MYUNGSOO'S DERP PHOTOS RELEASED!


"Heol! These are hilarious!" said Ken as he and Woohyun started laughing.

"Hahaha! Look here!" Woohyun pointed at his phone.

"Omo! Myungsoo's photos are so funny! Hahaha!" Jihyun said as she laughed.

"Hahaha! Who do you think gave this to the News Club?" I asked while laughing.

"I don't know but that person may want to humiliate him!" said Eunji.

"That's what I'm thinking too and who else but Krystal would want to do that!" said Irene.

"Hey, you may be on to something!" said Woohyun.

"Yeah, he broke up with her and had her taste her own medicine, I do think it could be Krystal!" I told them.


MYUNGSOO'S POV

Hmm...

Something's weird...

Why is everyone looking at me and giggling?

Did I do something wrong?

Did I stepped on something?

Do I smell funny?

As I was going up the staircase, I saw one of my seniors, Sunggyu hyung.

"Hyung!"

"Ah! Myungsoo! Hahaha! Nice photos!"

"Eh? What photos?!"

"You haven't seen them yet? Here, it's an exclusive article by the News Club!" He showed me his phone and I saw the article!

"What the... who did this?!"

"I don't know but, apparently everyone here in school knows about it!"

"Aish!"

I quickly headed for the News Club's room. I knocked hard on their door; it was their head, Eric who opened!

"WAH! IT'S HIM GUYS! HIDE!" Eric shouted and he immediately ran back inside their room!

"YAH! GET BACK HERE!" I shouted.

The News Club may have a lot of members but the top four are Eric, Jimin, Kevin and Jae. They are in charge of directing all the other members.

Once I entered their room, I can perfectly see those four hiding under several desks.

"You four, out now."

...

...

...

"NOW"!

They immediately went out of their hiding places and stood up to face me.

"Who the hell gave you those photos?!"

"um... we have a strict policy of respecting our informants' privacy..."

Damn it Kevin! I don't have time for that! WHO GAVE THOSE PHOTOS?!"

"It was Krystal! Please don't hurt us!" Eric shouted.

"She sent us the photos last night!" Jimin shouted.

"And then she ordered us to release it as an article! Please! We still want to graduate!" Jae shouted.

"Hmm... Krystal... of course... Fine! That's all I wanted to hear!" I told them and then headed for the door.

"Should we take down the article?" Eric asked.

"It has tons of views already and read this..." Kevin showed me his laptop.

I was surprised. Very surprised.

I left the News Club's room in a good mood.


"I did not expect that. Hahaha!" I said to myself while walking.

And then, who should I see walking towards me? Krystal. Jackson, Sooyoung and Minzy were behind her as well.

"Well, well, well. I'm surprised to see you here, my dear ex-boyfriend. Considering all the talk about you today here at school." said Krystal.'

"I know right? Good thing I surprised you. Well, let me surprise you again." I showed her my phone.

"What's that?" she asked.

"Read it. Read the comments on the article you ordered the News Club to post."

She grabbed my phone and began reading the comments.

"Omo! Myungsoo oppa is so adorable!"

"I want to pinch his cheeks!"

"Hahaha! Cute!"

"I can't get enough of him!"

"I LOVE YOU KIM MYUNGSOO!"

"OPPA!" We turned to our right side and saw a crowd of girls. My fangirls to be exact! I quickly grabbed my phone from Krystal.

"Well, gotta run! My fangirls are crazier today thanks to you. Bye!"

I started running as my fangirls all ran towards me.


KRYSTAL'S POV

"So um... It didn't work?" Jackson asked.

"Obviously." Minzy told him.

"It... backfired on you again... Krystal..." Sooyoung told me.

"... I KNOW IT DID! I READ THOSE COMMENTS! WAAAAAAHHHH!!!"


YOUR POV

It was lunch time. My friends and I are having our lunch inside the classroom again. We were all talking about Myungsoo's photos when Ken told us something.

"Yah! The Top 10 list of the Most Handsome has just been updated!"

"Wonho's second again..." I said.

"Oh and Doojoon and Mark went up!" said Eunji.

"I guess their appearance at the program last week gave them a boost!" said Irene.

When I refreshed the article, there was notification. I checked it.

"Our Irene retains the 2nd spot!" said Woohyun.

"Try to dislodge that evil queen at the top next time, will ya?" Woohyun told him with a laugh.


Somewhere in the school, Krystal, who was infuriated to see you added on that list is shouting.


After classes, Wonho, Woohyun, Jihyun and I went to the club room to wait for any new members or requests. Surprisingly, the Black Roses weren't there! So, we waited for anyone to come knocking on our door.

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

"WHY WON'T ANYONE COME?!" Woohyun shouted.

And then, a knock on our door! Wonho was about to open it when Coach Taecyeon came inside!

"Coach! It's you!" said Woohyun.

"Why are you here sir?" Jihyun asked.

"I have a request."

"Really sir? What is it?"

Later...

"So... we have to get ALL those things from the gym's rooftop?!" Woohyun asked.

"Yes. You students keep 'accidentally' throwing all those basketballs, volleyballs, shuttlecocks and other stuff on the gym's rooftop! It's decreasing our sports' supplies!"

"So, we have to go get it ourselves."
