Jeongyeon's POV

I left the academy for awhile to fix my bike. The front tire went flat on my way here earlier, and I don't have enough time to have it fix. So I went to the nearest shop to have it fix.

"Wassup Jeongyeon!" Sehun greeted me while he's fixing something on his motorcycle.

"Hey there, mate!" I greeted back and he approach me.

"What brings you here?" He asked and I showed him my bike.

"My tire went flat earlier when I'm on my way at the academy, can you fix it?" I said and he examine the tires.

"Of course I can, do you forget that I'm the greatest mechanic in this town?" He boasted and I rolled my eyes playfully.

"Gosh it's so windy all of a sudden." I chuckle when he squinted his eyes on me.

He then started to fix my bike, while he offered me to sit on the bench inside.

Sehun is my cousin and we're very close to each other. We were together since 4 years old, and we know each other very well. Sometimes, people would think that we're a couple and I was disgusted at that thought. He also know that I don't believe in love, because he was there when my parents broke-up. So, all throughout he helped me and cheer me up when I'm down.

"Hey jackass, your bike is now done." Sehun called and I quickly stood up.

"Nice. Thanks Sehunnie, how much?" I asked and pick my wallet inside my pocket, but the refused.

"Don't bother Jeong. Just keep your money and buy what you need. Appa won't bother it also." He said and pat my head.

"You sure?" I asked again and he nodded.

"Yeah. Just buy me dinner next time or visit us here, when you are free. Eomma wants to see you soon." He said and I smile at him.

"Okay. Tell auntie that I'll visit soon. Byee!" I bid goodbye and rode my bike back at the academy.

~timeskip~

I arrive back at the academy and return at the exhibit hall. The visitors were now lesser and some students started to leave.

"Hey Ostrich, want to join us later? We'll gonna eat and destroy our intestines." Kai invited.

"I think I'll pass. Cubby wants to watch the showcase with me later, so maybe next time." I said apologetically, but he understand my reason.

I approach my sculpture sat on the corner. 3 representative talked to me earlier and they said that my sculpture is great, though the other one said that it lacks emotion.

"Your sculpture is very great, but I can't sense the emotion of it. I think that love is not in here."

LOVE? damn that representative is joking right? Of course she can't sense love because it doesn't exist! Love is only for foolish people, and believing in it is just a game. If that love exist, then my family should be complete right? If love exist, then my mom and I would not suffer everyday just to earn money.

I'm busy ranting and thinking that I didn't notice my cheeks were now wet. I'm still vulnerable when it comes to my family.

"Hey Jeong, you alright? Why are you crying?" Chaeyoung asked me with Mina on her side, and 4 more girls.

I quickly wipe my cheeks and my eyes then stood up, flashing a smile to them.

"Ah y-yeah I'm alright. My eyes weren't functioning well, that's all." I lied to them and hoping that they'll buy it. Chaeyoung just shrugged her shoulders and glanced at the girls.

"Who are they?" I asked her and Mina answered.

"Jeongyeon meet my friends. This is Jihyo, Sana, Momo and Nayeon. Guys this is Jeongyeon." Mina introduced and we shook our hands.

"Wait... Have we met before?" I asked at this Momo girl and she just stare at me.

"I don't think so..." She replied and tilted her head sideways.

"I think I saw you-" I was cut off when this bunny girl spoke.

"You're that girl on that convenience store! The one who answered Momo's phone when she left it!" She said in a surprised tone.

All of them, except for me, Momo and Nayeon were shocked on the sudden confession.

"So you were saying that Jeongyeon-ssi is the you yelled at, when we're trying to contact Momo?" Sana asked and I nod shyly, remembering that incident is so horrible.

"Anyways since we know each other, let's go now at the theater. Ms. Hyoyeon's probably looking for me." Mina stated and we agreed.

While walking, I remained at the back since I'm not close with them and I don't want to initiate a conversation.

(A/N: Same here Jeongyeon 😂 I'm also afraid on making a first move to have a conversation. sorry na takot ako mag first move ehh 😂🤦🏻‍♀️)

I'm busy with my thoughts when I felt a finger poking my cheeks lightly. I glance on my side and it was Nayeon, she beamed at me, showing her bunny teeth.

"Why are you poking my cheeks?" I asked her and she just giggle.

"Because your so quiet." She replied and I didn't react.

"By the way, I didn't knew that you're working on my cousin's store." This girl keeps on talking to me, and I don't wanna be rude.

"I also didn't knew that you are Jaebom's cousin." I said and giver her a small smile.

She just laugh and look at the sky, that is now in a shade of orange with a tint of blue, pink and violet. We now arrive at the theater and Mina bid goodbye then went backstage, while the 6 of us went on the seats designated to us. Since it's an hour before 6, people were now starting to enter inside and took their seats.

This is how our seating arrangement looks like:
Jihyo-Sana-Momo-Nayeon-Chaeyoung-Me

While waiting, those 5 keep on talking while I'm on my phone messaging my mom. I noticed that Chae's getting along with them well, so I nudged her side.

"What is it, hyung?" She asked me innocently and I smirked at her.

"You said before that you might be out of place when you're with them, but instead you get along with them." I uttered and Chaeyoung smiled sheepishly to me.

"I didn't except that also, but yeah. Try also talking to them, so you won't feel like an outcast. Besides, Nayeon unnie seems to like you." I scoffed at her last sentence and she just snicker.

"Guess I should leave now, since you're not an outcast." I joked but she glared daggers at me.

I swear, if this cub isn't my friend I might sell this to a human trafficker.

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, the showcase will begin on 30 minutes. Please turn off your mobile devices, for it may cause technical disturbance. Seat back, relax, and please enjoy the performance later."  The announcer said and the people inside then wait patiently.
