"Oh, Chaeryeong-ssi. You have a class, right?" Nayeon unnie asked. I just simply nod my head and yawn, actually I'm still sleepy, argh!

"You can take a rest to get some sleep. You can go home now."she said, smiling at me as if she's giving me an assurance that I can really go home early. I immediately shake my head, telling her that it's a no for me.

"No, unnie. I'll take my time. Thank you, hehe." I said, smiling at her to show her that it's really okay for me to stay here. She gave me her bunny smile as she shake her head too.

"Let me. I'll explain it to our manager later." She said. I immediately bowed my head to her, showing some respect since she's my senior.

She's an old crew member in JYBig Cafe. She's one of those people who also understands me the best in every situation. Let's say, she's one of my great not-blood-related sisters?

"Thank you, unnie! I'm off now!" I cheerfully said as I ran to the staff room, grabbing all of my things in my locker and after that, I quickly ran outside.

It's already 3:45 and I'm sure that our school is almost open so I grabbed a taxi to take me to my dorm. After that, I took a bath and wore my school uniform.

"Aish, I'm still sleepy." I mumbled, but I don't want to sleep here. I don't want to be late again. Just thinking about what happened yesterday makes me suffer with a headache. After finishing some stuff, I walked around to get to the bus stop.

Yes, I'm going to my school right now. It's 4:12 am and I'm still sleepy, but it's okay! I'm just going to sleep in our school to avoid being late. Now, I'm currently waiting here at the bus stop as I took out my notebook to review some things about Group 5's information or personalities.

How am I supposed to explain all of these things? It's not like I can't explain it to them, but actually, I have a fear and I never tried to conquer it. Should I tell my group mates that I'm not capable enough to present our group because of my fear?

When the bus arrived, I walked in and sat next to the boy who's sleeping with his cap covering his face. I just put my earphones in my ears and played, Weak by JoJo. It's my favorite song.

At exactly 4:39 am, I finally arrived in our school. I went to my room and sat on my chair. After that, I feel like my eyes are going to shut so I decided to sleep first.

----

"Boo!" I jumped in shock, I looked around to see if there's anyone watching me here. Then, I saw Seungmin, smiling at me as he grabbed the chair to sit.

I sighed in relief and fix myself first. It would be too embarrassing if he saw me with this sleepy look.

"What are you doing here? It's still early," I asked. He just shrugged while smiling at me,

"I'm an early bird. Same as him." He said as he pointed to somewhere. I looked at it and I saw Taehyun, sleeping on the teacher's desk. That guy!

"Why is he sleeping there?" I asked.

"Hm, maybe he didn't get enough sleep because of online games," he replied back.

"What kind of person is he?" I asked him, lowering my voice for him not to hear my voice and not to disturb his sleep.

"He's kinda scary and arrogant," he said. Ah, no wonder. He really looks scary, that's why I don't want to interact with him.

"You hate him, do you?"

"Definitely. He's really bad," I said as I looked down, but he held my chin up while smiling at me,

"I told you already, right?" He said so I nodded my head.

"Can you please avoid looking on the ground? I hate it." He said, so I looked at him in confused,

"Ugh! What time is it?!" Taehyun shouted while yawning. We looked at him so he did it too,

"Waeyo? Did I just interrupt your conversation?" He asked.

"By the way, Lee Chaeryeong-the booger

Girl. Where's your explanations for our presentation later? May I hear it?" He asked as he stood up and went to me.

"Where?"he asked again, but I didn't answer him.

Instead of answering him, I just looked away and bowed my head. I don't have any explanation for our presentation later. I don't have so much time to do that because I need to do my work first. It's not like studying is not my priority, I just set it aside because I don't know what to do.

Suddenly, I heard a quick slap so I immediately looked at Taehyun and Seungmin. Taehyun is now glaring at Seungmin who's currently confused. I'm also confused, but the atmosphere between them is so scary. I think Seungmin was about to hold my chin, but Taehyun slapped his hands away.

"Yah, don't hold her chin just to make her face look up. Just let her look on the ground because that's what she wants," Taehyun said. I gulped, what just happened?

"You don't have to stop me. What's your problem?" Seungmin asked. Taehyun sighed as he crossed her arms and looked at me,

"Nothing. I just love seeing her looking on the ground. She looks so lonely, and nobody. She looks like a loser. How sad," he said. I glared at him as he said those mean words to me. He's really bad!

"Waeyo? You're a loser, right?" He said as he walked to his seat and put his wireless earphones in his ears. It's airpods, I guess?

"Don't mind his words. He's really like that because no one loves him." Seungmin said.

"Yah, I can hear you, you fuckin' Kim Seungmin," Taehyun retorted.

"Don't mind us also!" Seungmin playfully said, I smiled at him because of that.

"You're not scared of him? Am I right?" I asked.

"No, I'm not. I'm more scared of ghosts." He said as he showed me his cheeky smile.

My classmates just arrived and the first class was about to start so we fix ourselves. As usual, I'm alone at the back. Seungmin has nothing to do but to sit in his proper seat.

Our teacher came so we greeted him with a 'good morning'. The class started as soon as possible. His voice was so loud and I think it can be heard in the next room. I don't think his voice is helping. I'm still sleepy.

I couldn't focus on our discussion because my vision started to blur. Ugh! I want to sleep right now, I think I'm dizzy.

"Ms. Lee Chaeryeong?" I quickly stood up right after I heard my name called by my teacher.

"I think you need to move in front. Can you move here next to Taehyun?" As my teacher said that, I looked at Taehyun who's mumbling something. Maybe he's cursing me many times in his head now.

"Can I just move next to Ryujin? I don't feel comfortable in front, "I said with a tone of respect as I smiled a bit.

"Hm? But I want you to participate in my class more. Based on what I've observed, you look really sleepy there at the back,'' I was taken aback when my teacher said that. My teacher saw me?! Omo!

"Mianhe!" I said as I bowed at him, showing my sincerity.

"No need to, just go in front next to Taehyun." The teacher said and I don't have a choice. I went to my new seat which is next to Taehyun. This is gonna be so messy! My seatmate is my enemy, so how can I communicate with him?

"Better shut your mouth, okay?" He murmured at me as he rolled his eyes.

It's time for our Personal Development subject. I started to sweat though there's an aircon and electric fan inside of our room. I don't know why, but I'm more scared of their attention. I just don't want any attention.

"Okay, Group 5 Representatives. Go in front." As soon as my teacher said that, I started to sweat more and my palm is sweating too. My sweats are cold and it makes me feel really uncomfortable. My knees are now trembling because of nervousness.

"Yah,"Taehyun called who's standing in front of me. I looked at him with my teary eyes,

"C-can you..." I stopped.

"Kang Taehyun and..?" My teacher asked.

"Lee Chaeryeong-ssi."Aisha said.

"Okay, Kang Taehyun and Lee Chaeryeong."

"Yah, let's go," Taehyun whispered as he glared at me. I slowly shook my head as I lowered my head.

"Lee Chaeryeong!"

I closed my eyes really hard as my tears started to fall down to my cheeks when Taehyun shouted my name angrily. I was shaking nervously because of my phobia. I looked at my classmates who's looking at me with a confused look. I decided to look at Taehyun who's currently glaring at me.

"I c-can't..." I whispered to him. He frowned,

"Come on! Let's go!" As he held my cold hand and pulled me to stand up, my knees fell on the floor and that's when my vision started to blur.

Oh no.

And then, everything went black.
