Yena's POV
***8 years ago***
"Jo Yuri."All of them look at me because I suddenly called the girl I am facing right now.
"A-ah, is that your name?" I asked her naturally.
"Yes, sunbae. Why?" They are waiting for my answer. Shoot! I don't know what to say.
"I-I thought it was her name." I pointed to the small girl beside her. I know that her name is Nako since I looked at her name tag earlier.
What can I do? I need an excuse.
"Me?" Nako points to herself. I nod.
"I'm Nako." She showed me her name tag in her uniform.
"Oh, sorry." I chuckle.
"Let's just eat." Hitomi said.
Thank you Tomi for saving me hehehe.
While eating, I keep on talking to Minju so she won't be out of place. Even if I'm talking to Minju, I can't stop myself from looking at Yuri.
I don't know but I feel uneasy, seeing Yuri and Hyewon having their own world. Talking to each other as if they are the only one here.
"Ah Minju, what's your plan today?" I asked out of nowhere while looking at Yuri.
"Sen'paiwa kōhaini kyōmiga aru." Nako murmured.
"Huh?" Minju looked at me wondering. I looked at Minju.
"I can tour you in school later." I said before continuing eating. Hitomi fakes a cough.
"Um, unnie," Hitomi said.
I know she understands what Nako said since she is a Japanese too.
"Yes, Tomi?" I asked innocently.
"After school let's visit Eunbi unnie." - Hitomi
"Sure, but first, we need to find Chaeyeon."
"Looking for me?" Chaeyeon suddenly appeared with... Minjeong.
I know she left me for this girl psh.
"Look at this girl who left me earlier." I said sarcastically.
"Hi Tomi-chan!" Chaeyeon greets Hitomi first before looking at me. She smirked when she saw Minju beside me.
"Nako is right." Chaeyeon nods. I looked at everyone in this table but unexpectedly their attention was all on me and Chaeyeon. Oh shit!
I looked at Chaeyeon nervously.
Did she hear everything? Please, not today, Chaeyeon!
"You---ahhhhooouuch" I stepped on her foot hardly on purpose.
Don't you dare finish your sentence Lee Chaeyeon. Even if I don't understand Japanese, I know that Nako is referring to me and Minju.
"Don't say bad words Lee Chaeyeon." I faked a smile at her and looked at her threateningly.
"Minju, let's go." I stand up and get my tray before walking away.
I don't want Minju and I become awkward. I just want to get to know Minju more and I want her to be comfortable with me. I can feel her unconfident, shy and introverted side and that's why I want to help her get out of her shell. There is something special about her, something hidden.
"Y-Yena uunie," I turned around when I heard her voice.
"Let me return your tray." Minju gets my tray from my hand and gives it to the dishwasher.
