EMBERS • HAECHAN (Not Finished Yet)

Chapter 5

The seven boys had not discovered me yet and I furiously increased the speed of my steps. I was now only a few meters away from the group when I felt a strong grip on my wrist and was practically thrown back. Panting, I turned around and discovered Soyeon, whose hand was now squeezing harder.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"Can't you see their damn attitude? I want to make it clear to those assholes that they don't own this school."

"Are you crazy? What the fuck do you not understand about the words 'Don't do anything rash'?

"But-"

"Yeeun wants us to keep a low profile," my best friend interrupted me and looked me in the face more serious than she had in a long time. "

Don't screw this up."

For a short moment I remained silent until I finally gave in and growled in frustration.

"Fine," I sighed and was about to walk back to Momo and Mina, when I suddenly heard a deep, bloodcurdling voice.

"Move."

The expression on my face darkened again and I immediately turned on my heels. Annoyed and at the same time disgusted, I looked into the same dark brown eyes I had looked into a few evenings before.

Lee Donghyuck, I pronounced his name in my head and watched as his eyes stared at me coldly.

Compared to the evening at the club, his brown hair was now straight and styled to the side. He wore a simple black t-shirt and jeans, while a leather jacket rounded off the complete look.

At that moment he no longer embodied the elegant and slightly nervous boy, but radiated an incredible aura of danger and arrogance.
I wanted to punch him in his face so bad.

"Fucking move," he repeated himself, and I laughed ironically.

I'd love to remind him of the evening when he had almost sunk into his armchair out of embarrassment. I was a little sad that I couldn't see his face back then after he stormed out of the building knowing that he had been robbed.

I kept staring at him with a grudge.

Before I could throw an insulting comment at him, he pushed me roughly aside, using so much force that I crashed into the metal lockers with a loud thud.

Without even looking at me once more, he held his gaze rigidly forward and walked past me complacently, as if he already owned the whole place.
The other six of his group followed him with the same condescending expression in their eyes, while all attention was focused on the newcomers.

Filled with repeated rage, my hands automatically clenched into fists and I raised my right hand, ready to break the nose of one of them at any moment.

Instead, I was again held back by Soyeon whose arms wrapped around my waist, trying to keep me away from the slowly disappearing group.

"What did I just say? Calm the fuck down."
