After Joy and Yeri found Wendy in the library, we proceeded to our designated classrooms. Wendy and Seulgi are classmates since they're the same age, while me, I was 1 year ahead of them that's why I'm on my last year. Yeri was on her 1st year and Joy was on her second. We were so close ever since highschool, but wendy and seulgi are much more closer than us because they we're childhood friends.

"When it's already break time, let's meet first in our old studio before going to the cafeteria." I announced to them before we part ways.

"Alright, see you later then. Byee!" Seulgi bid goodbye and grab wendy's pulse.

"You two, come early! Don't be stubborn and come on time. We have something to discuss on." I reminded them, again. They just nod their heads as an answer and leave me there. Ugh this kids.

"Hey, Irene!" I was startled but composed myself afterwards and saw Jin calling me.

"Hey" I answered as soon as he cope up with me.

"I noticed that you and your friends are being rumored all around this campus, huh?" I raised my right eyebrow at his statement.

"Knowing you, you're never been this late for all the gossips, huh? Interested much?" I asked. He just smirked at me.

"This face? Will be interested on girls like you? Never." Ugh. This man has too confidence in him. It makes me sick.

"Then if that so, why being so curious? Aren't your fans telling you the reason? It seems you're not that popular among girls, Jim. Sad" I said, I heard hin scoffed and answered me,

"It's Jin not Jim, J-i-n. Jin. Maybe because you're not that important enough to be rumored about that's why my fans doesn't know." Jin said,

"Of course, they won't dare" I replied which caught him off guard. I just smirked and walk near to him and whispers in a seductive tone.

"Tell your fans that... the Queens are back" I said and leave him there.

The Queens are back, people.

I was so happy and excited that I will go to school and room with my bestfriend present again. But it's also sad to know that she might be present phyiscally, but she's nowhere to be found emotionally. She always looks so sad and afraid, whenever we're passing with the sea of boys. It must be really hard to move on. I wish I could take some part of her problems that burdens her.

"Wendy, sit here. I'll just go to my locker because I forgot to bring my books with me. I'll be right back." I saw her nod at me and I left her there to get ny things.

As I get out the room, I headed to the locker room but I also saw Jb there, my long time crush.

"Hi, Seul" he called out. Here's my heart beating faster again. Ugh, Seulgi. Relax. Whoo.

"Hi, Jb. How are you?" I replied, trying to act cool and normal while opening my locker.

"Hmm. Fine, I guess? Hey I heard that she's back." Jb said, the rumors been spreading fastly, huh.

"Hmm, yup. Where did you heard about it?" I asked him, obviously Seulgi, he heard it from the people.

"Well, we saw you and Naeun talking. I didn't mean to overheard your conversation." after I heard it, the book slipped on my hand causing it to drop on the floor. I was about to pick it up but he's also trying to pick it up, that's why I accidentally touch the skin if his hand and felt an electricity flows on my body.

"Oh sorry, thank you" I bowed for being tackless and said thank you afterwards he give my book.

"Wait, 'we'? Is your group there too?" I questioned him.

"Yup, we just passed by but we didn't intend to eavesdropn on your conversation." He apologizes again.

"No need to apoligize for, but I want to ask you some favor." I said and look at him seriously.

"Please don't let everyone know. She's still in pain and still experiencing traumas. She might be bullied for her condition. And I don't want to cause her troubles and burdens again.." I added, I saw him walk to me as I felt his hand on the top of my head.

"You can rely on us. We both started together in this music industry, and we've known you for long. And we know how Wendy is important to you, and for us too. and Mark—" he cut himself,

"Oh crap.." he murmured. My eyes widened at his sudden statement.

"Wait what? Mark??" I asked him again.

"He'll kill me for sure, but yeah, please don't tell it to others, especially Wen. Have mercy on me" he pleaded, gosh he's so cute! Seulgi! What are you saying?!

"Hmmm. Deal." I said and offer him a hand shake.

"We'll protect you guys at all cost and help you to regain your spot again. That's a deal." he said and take the hand shake.

"Reign and shine again, queens." He whispers and walk away.
