Before they got dispersed Jennie asked all of them to clean the council office. She said in this school year, everything must be clean and at least looked new. Brooms, dust bin, damp clothes, face masks, were all prepared by Jisoo. Everyone was ready to start the general cleaning.

Lisa was cleaning the cupboard near the round table. There were dust all over the cupboard and she could tell the last time it was ever touched probably months ago. She then got distracted by the two figures who were standing next to each other near the big glass window, they were cleaning it. Jennie had been cleaning the window before Rosie joined her; she walked up to Jennie slowly then fixed her stand next to her. Lisa was watching from the back that Jennie and Rosie were looking at each other at the same time. A smile formed on both faces and it was Lisa's first time seeing Jennie ever smiled full of sincerity.

Lisa knitted her brows and turned her head to the cupboard she had been cleaning. She was confused at the emotion she was feeling from watching them both. She shook her head and tried to focus. She fixed her glasses and she could feel her breathing fasten. She gripped on the small handle on the cupboard and wanted to pull it open but it was locked. Since she pulled it in full force, the cupboard swayed which made a bunch of thick books on top of it were dropping.

"Lisa!"

Lisa turned her back spontaneously so she was back-facing the cupboard. She covered both of her ears with her palms, ready for the impact.

Lisa felt the books fell on the floor but surprisingly she didn't feel any single pain. She noticed there were a pair of arms covered her body as if she was hugged from the back. She felt a hot breath on her neck and this person's body was pressed against her back, acting like a shield.

"Are you okay?" a sudden deep voice heard exactly on her right ear.

"Eh? Ehm.. ye-yes..."

Everyone stopped whatever they were doing and walked closer to these two after hearing the loud thud a second ago.

"Are you okay???" Lisa heard another worried voice came closer; this person was standing in front of them.

After that, Lisa felt these arms that had been covering her body got loosen and Lisa looked at this person. Lisa was surprised to see Donghyuk stood there while messaging his nape; scrunching his nose, enduring the pain.

"Lisa, are you okay???" the familiar question from earlier was heard again and then Lisa now looked at the owner of this voice in front of her. She saw Jennie stood in front of her looking worried.

"I-I..I am okay...."

"What are you thinking? Are you trying to climb the cupboard?! I asked you to clean it, not to climb it." Jennie asked half-yelling.

"I-I am sorry... I am sorry." It was all Lisa could say.

"Jen, at least everyone is okay. Nothing to worry here." Jisoo walked closer to Jennie and tapped on her shoulder. "Are you okay, Donghyuk?" Jisoo then asked the person who stood behind Lisa. He just nodded.

"Alright everyone, go back to your work..." Jisoo snapped her fingers then everyone was back cleaning the office again.

Lisa looked at Donghyuk who slowly took the damp clothes which he dropped on the floor when he protected her from the rain-books. Donghyuk was about to continue cleaning but Lisa held him by his wrist. Lisa was surprised that she could do this toward a guy. She wanted to call him but somehow her voice didn't come out from her mouth. Donghyuk stopped and he turned his back looking at Lisa.

"Ah....Ehm...I-" Lisa stuttered again. She was worried Donghyuk might not like she held his wrist like this.

But to her surprise, he was smiling. "I am glad that you are okay. Next time try to be more careful, okay?"

Lisa was delighted upon hearing what the person in front of her just said. Probably he was the first male student that ever said nice things to her even protected her.

"Thank you, Donghyuk." Lisa smiled widely which caused Donghyuk lowered his head, trying hard not to smile. A sudden blush was visible on both of his cheeks which Lisa didn't notice.

Not far from where Lisa and Donghyuk stood, apparently this person had been watching them two conversing since beginning. A curious stare and a slight inconvenience grew within self, but this person managed to put them aside, for now.

Lisa arrived earlier than Rosie, she was now sitting on her table. Yesterday after the cleaning, Lisa saw Rosie stayed in the council office while everyone else including Jisoo were going home. She was clearly waiting for Jennie. By only thinking about it, somehow she didn't like the idea that Rosie didn't tell her about it. Well, it was not really Lisa's business but she felt like she was being deceived by her friend. Lisa tried hard to throw away that negative thoughts but it kept coming back.

"Good morning, Lisa." Lisa got snapped out of her thoughts and found Donghyuk stood next to her table. She was not used with this warm greeting and took longer to reply.

"Good morning, Donghyuk." Lisa smiled. "does it still hurt?" Lisa asked as she fixed her glasses.

"Oh..." Donghyuk giggled while messaging his nape. "It was nothing. I am okay."

They both remained silent, "Okay so, talk to you later." He said while walking to his table.

Not long Rosie arrived and immediately walked to their table. Rosie had this teasing looks on her. Yes, she saw what just happened earlier.

"Sooo....what is it with you and Donghyuk, Lisa?" Rosie put her bag on the table not breaking their eye contact while smiling at her.

"M-me? And Donghyuk? What are you talking about?"

"Hmpfh!" Rosie held her laughter, "....yesterday he saved you and then today he greeted you. I've never seen any male students treated you sweetly like him. So I thought-" before Rosie continued Lisa cut her off.

"S-so what? Is it wrong? Can I not be treated well just like anybody else, Rosie?"

Rosie's eyes got widen and she was surprised to see Lisa reacted to her teasing differently. She felt bad.

"I am sorry, Lisa. That's not what I mea-"

"Y-you don't know how it feels to get bullied because of how you look. You are pretty, and people like talking to you. I-I don't think you understand how I feel right now." Lisa blurted out. She then ran outside class. She was headed to the school rooftop and didn't even plan to return to the class. She thought she should skip the first class.

"What a fool...." Lisa mumbled under her breath once she arrived at the rooftop. "W-why did I say that to Rosie? Oh my God..." Lisa knew that it was not Rosie's fault at all. What Rosie said earlier didn't actually hurt her but she didn't understand where the sudden emotion that she let out earlier was from. The thought of Rosie and Jennie might know each other kept hunting her and it changed her mood whenever she saw Rosie's face. Lisa didn't know either what happened to her.

"Are you skipping class?" a sudden voice came from her back. Lisa got startled and immediately looking at this person who appeared from her back and now was sitting next to her.
