School was hell. Everyone had seen the post, everyone hated me. I felt sorry for something I hadn't done.
Before lunch, there were only whispers. "Slut" "How dumb can you be?" "I wonder when her nudes will get posted"
But when another girl in the cafeteria tripped, pouring her drink all over me, things started going downhill. "Take a picture" "Oh my god, she won't ever get a break" "I hope she freaks out"
And as my eyes met Irene's, the empty glass still in her hand, I broke. With one swift movement, I turned around and left the cafeteria, tears streaming down my face.
For a split second, I thought I passed Taeyong, but all I could think of was getting out of this hellhole.
"Do you think I could get a new identity?", my head hung from the couch, turning my view upside down.
"Pretty sure that people would recognize a pretty face like yours", Taeil smiled, sympathetically patting my arm.
"Jesus Christ", Doyoung entered the room again, which was actually his "I just had to tell my mom some crazy story about a fake fire alarm at school, didn't want to say that we were skipping"
"Kind of understandable", Jaehyun sighed, leaning back further into his armchair.
"Anyway, who's up for stabbing Irene?", Haechan seemed way too cheerful while suggesting something so brutal.
"Maybe not in such an extreme way, but we definitely need to get revenge on those girls", it was the first thing Yuta had said all day. He seemed incredibly angry, barely hiding it behind his pokerface.
With a sigh, I sat up and checked my phone, for the past few hours I had tried to ignore it.
"Put it away", Jaehyun ordered without even looking in my direction. That boy had some kind of seventh sense.
"What the hell? Am I not allowed to have a free will anymore?", I frowned.
"We're just trying to protect you", Doyoung explained, suddenly furrowing his brows as a notification lit up his display. Before I could ask him about it, the conversation already continued.
"Yeah, they can't keep hurting our Aecha like this", Yuta let his anger slip out. Wait.
Jaehyun spoke my thoughts out loud "OUR Aecha?", he smirked. For a split second, Yuta lost his mask of emotionlessness, before Taeil stepped in to (unknowingly) save him.
"You're like a little sister to all of us", Taeil's smile always managed to raise my spirits.
However, a little brat had to ruin the moment "Yeah, especially to me"
"Oh, shut up Haechan, you're a little baby", I hissed at him, only to get blown a kiss in return. Asshole.
"Uhm, guys I think there's something on Insta that's getting a bit out of hand", Doyoung commanded our attention.
This time, no one complained as I unlocked my phone.
