In the dark//The pyramid game

Chapter - 5

Sooha's POV

I was in a dinner with my father and his business partners,more like friends for benefit.The people there are DoAh and her father,Dayeon and her father and Harin and her father.

The father's were talking away while we went quiet,"The steak is tender and delicious"Mr.Kim said,"Mr.Seo,let me ask something.How can it be explained medically?Look.The only daughter of Baekyeon Group family"he said pointing to Harin,"The only daughter of Hongmin Group's family"He said pointing to me, "The only child of SeoSim Hospital family
"He said pointing to DoAh, "And we...only have daughters" He pointed to Dayeon, she looked down,feel guilty.

I kinda feel bad Dayeon has to be with a father like that,"How can you say this is a coincidence?"he asked,"All of our families have superior X chromosome.Oh right,
Harin,Sooha,Which college are you planning to apply for?If you don't mind,
why don't you work on the portfolio with DoAh?I think it'll be a chance to tighten you friendship and become closer friends."Mr.
Seo said.

"Were close friends already.DoAh is smart and cute."Harin answered,"She's cute?"Mr.
Seo asked again,"Thanks"DoAh replied.

Close friends already huh?How is she so good at lying?

That was my thought but I cover with a soft smile,"Do you still hang out with that judo girl?" Mr.Kim asked,"I'm closer with Harin."
Dayeon replied,"Harin only?I'm sorry but aren't you and Sooha close?" he asked again apologizing to the other before asking again,"We're close" I quickly lied cause I knew Dayeon would get beaten up at home if I don't say something.He seemed impressed and Dayeon looked at me with wide eyes.

"Oh,Dad.Can you provide more scholarship
to the school swimming club? There's a girl names Eunjung in my class,she's talented but poor.Don't say no,please?"Harin plead.
She whispered something to her father,
Uncle looked really uncomfortable and he reluctantly say yes.What did this bitch said?

"Let's have a toast?"He asked,"Sure" dad replied and we lifted our glass and drink the wine.The dad's chatted away and I became
bored,I told my father that I wanted to go home and make up an excuse,"I'm sorry,if you will excuse me,I have some school work to do,I'll get going first" I said and left.

I decided to go through the town so instead of getting in ther car,I told him to go home by himself and that I'll call him when I need it.

I was near a convenience store when I spotted Sung Sooji in the table,the worker gave her something,I went to her,"Is this seat taken?" I asked,"Oh,Hong Sooha?" she looked shocked,I just looked at her for an answer,"Ah no you can sit here" she said and I sit."Why are you here? Still in uniform
too?" I asked."Can I ask you a question?" she asked back, I was shocked,why did she have so much questions,"Sure" I replied.
"Do the teacher know about our game?"
She asked.

Interesting.

"Our game?No,The teacher wouldhave no idea.If he did,he would maybe try to help those in Grade F.He knows well about relationships in class and personal info about students,He seemed to care well about students like JaEun as well.But don't even think about getting him on your side.The grass isn't always green on the other side." I replied with the same tone.

"It's pretty late,my mother will be worried if I'm home late,thank me later"I said and leave.I have something I lied about, that the teacher knew about the bullying Woori
reported before so why wouldn't he?He's
not what he seems, I can't exactly tell her but she should be aware.If she still report
about it, it's not my problem.

I went home to see my whole family in the living room, wondering about where I go,again.Can I have sometime without them worrying about me all the time?No.
Letting me run of without protection is not in my family's dictionary.
