~ The Next Day ~

~ Aera's POV ~

Reluctantly taking a step into the entrance of the school, I was suddenly surrounded by a gigantic crowd of shouting, squealing girls as expected.

I already knew this was going to happen since it was literally impossible to keep a secret dealing with any of the popular boys in our school, including Taehyung.

"Is it true you're dating Taehyung?!"

"You worthless whore, how dare you steal him away from us?!"

"Taehyung deserves someone better!!!"

Being attacked with criticizing, hurtful comments from his obsessive fangirls, I literally felt like crying with all this pressure on me right now.

But suddenly, I felt an arm gently wrap around my shoulder, causing all the girls to instantly become silent.

"Leave her alone."

I felt extremely relieved as soon as I realized it was my beloved boyfriend, Taehyung.

His fangirls obediently made way for us and allowed us to pass, still displaying an agitated, hateful expression on their faces.

As soon as he made sure we were out of their sight, Taehyung let out a relieved sigh.

"You alright?" He asked in a rather apologetic tone, probably feeling bad for me now that I had to deal with this because of him.

I replied to him with a timid nod, still feeling a bit shy from the fact that we were now a couple.

"You should go to class first, I don't want to cause you anymore trouble by going in together. I'll be at my locker if you need me okay?" Taehyung assured, giving me a quick peck on my cheek as he rushed off to his locker.

Oh boy, today was going to be a hard day.

Hesitantly walking up to my class, I slowly opened the door and entered, only to be given death glares by every single girl that was in the class.

I safely reached my desk without being viciously attacked by anyone, but suddenly, the door of the class forcefully opened and made a loud bang echo through the entire room.

There stood an extremely terrifying looking Chaeyeon with a pair of scissors in her hands, her makeup ruined with the tears streaming down her face.

"WHERE IS SHE?! I'M GOING TO KILL THAT WHORE!!" She furiously shouted, causing the entire class to look at her in great fear and anxiety.

Her eyes eagerly scanned the room and landed on me, a devious smile immediately creeping onto her face.

"You think you can steal my Taehyung away from me? I fucking warned you little girl." She said as she gradually took steps towards me, slowly swaying her scissors in the air from side to side.

Okay, I'm scared.

But as I was about to make a run for it, Chaeyeon began sprinting towards me with her scissors directly aimed at me, causing me to scream in extreme fright.

But before she could harm me, a group of boys forcefully grabbed her by her arms and stopped her from possibly killing me.

My legs went weak and I crouched down onto the floor, my entire body quivering from utter terror.

At that moment, the teacher came rushing into the class, probably because he heard what this whole commotion was about.

"LEE CHAEYEON! PRINCIPLE'S OFFICE, NOW!" He furiously shouted, causing Chaeyeon to vigorously throw her scissors out of her hand and onto the floor, giving me one last deadly glare as she angrily turned around and walked out of the classroom.

The teacher hurriedly rushed over to my side, gently stroking my back as he tried to calm me down.

"Are you hurt? Do you want to go to the nurse?" He worriedly asked, but I simply replied by shaking my head.

Although I was extremely terrified, I knew I had to solve this whole problem with Chaeyeon as soon as possible before she attempted to freaking kill me again.

"I want to talk to Chaeyeon."

~ At The Principle's Office ~

Nervously walking up to the door of the office, I took a deep breathe, and knocked on it.

"Come in." I heard the principle say, allowing me to open his door enter the office.

There sat Chaeyeon in a large, charcoal black sofa with her arms folded, her eyes fixed onto the ground with an expressionless look on her face.

"Aera, would you mind speaking to Chaeyeon for me? She wont spill a single word from her mouth even if I ask her questions regarding her threatening behavior." The principle said.

I replied with a small nod as I timidly walked towards the seat in front of Chaeyeon.

"I'll leave you two alone." The principle said as he stood up from his seat, hurriedly rushing out of the office and leaving me all alone with this crazy maniac.

Trying to maintain my temper, I situated myself down in front of her.

"Chaeyeon, I know you're-"

"Just shut the fuck up. I don't want to hear anything from a fucking whore like you." She rudely snapped back.

Alright, that's it.

I'm already sick and tired of being referred to as a "whore" by everyone, especially Chaeyeon.

I forcefully slammed my hand onto the table in between us, causing her to slightly flinch in fear.

"Listen, I know you like Taehyung. But I'm sorry, I do too. But the only difference between you and me, is that he likes me and not you. You cant be expecting everything to go your way Chaeyeon. You have to face reality." I stated, only telling her the truth, and only the truth.

This caused her expression to completely break, letting an endless waterfall of tears to stream down her face.

Watching her cry her heart out softened my heart.

"Chaeyeon, you're a really pretty girl. You'll have a boyfriend in no time, trust me." I assured her, only to cause her to burst into more tears.

She palmed her face, hiding her distressed face as her shoulders quivered from crying.

"I'm sorry Aera... I'm really, really sorry..." Chaeyeon repeatedly said, expressing her sorrows and sincere thoughts into her words.

I gradually walked over to her side and gently stroked her back, just silently watching her cry her heart out over the loss of her love.
