《I don't know (IDK) || SOOSHU ft. Mimin》PROLOGUE
Advertisement
Again, this story is not mine. I converted it for fun ^^U
****
A/N: Moonbyul, Soyeon and Soojin are the same age here and one year older than Shuhua.
The puppy eyed girl almost fell asleep in class again if her best friend didn't poke her arm with a pen. She gave her bestfriend an intense death glare, hoping to send a message that she doesn't like getting poke, but Yuqi returned her look with an equally stern look.
"We're in college now Shu, try to stay more focused." Yuqi snaps at her.
Pffft... her best friend should have been a drill sergeant with how strict she is.
Shuhua just sighs heavily and plops her cheek on her hand. People make college sound so fun, but now that she's here, she has no idea what they're talking about. Or maybe she's just in the wrong school.
Why can't life be like an anime? Where it's always fun and something exciting happens everyday... or every episode?
She sighs heavily again until a brilliant thought comes to her mind...
Her lips curve into an evil smirk... kekekekeke...
If her life seems so boring then it's up to her to make it a bit exciting. She turns to Yuqi, her usual victim, so gentle and innocent and so fun to pull a prank on.
"Yuqi... Yuqi..." Shuhua taps Yuqi over and over and over again until Yuqi finally give her attention.
"What is it?"
"I'm confused about what Mr. Kang is trying to tell us here. Can you help me with the different parts?"
Yuqi was quiet for a little bit, narrowing her eyes like she got a hint that Shuhua is up to no good. But then, Shuhua bats those lashes and Yuqi sighs heavily, helpless against those puppy eyes.
"What body part is it?"
Yuqi leaned closer so she could see Shuhua's biology book better. She should have known that there was something devious about the evil smirk on that innocent face.
"What part?"
"This one..."
Shuhua opens her book and Yuqi leans much closer, her eyes narrowing as she tries to think what on Earth is she looking at.
"I'm not sure what this..."
Until it finally dawned on Yuqi what specific body part Shuhua is showing her... specifically what male body part...
OMO!"
Shuhua covers her mouth trying to hide her laughter as Yuqi tumbles back from her chair in shock. Everyone in their entire biology lab turned over to them to see what the ruckus is all about.
That was the sound of Yuqi's head banging against something hard.
"I think she's bleeding..."
Said one of their classmates... Shuhua jumps down from her chair to check. Yuqi looks like she passed out and now the whole class is circling around them, looking at her instead of trying to help.
This wasn't like any anime that Shuhua saw, but at least it made their biology class a bit exciting... except for the part of Yuqi's bleeding head...
****
Thank God for Iphones if not Seo Soojin would have to listen to whatever kind of love story Somi is babbling about again.
"Are you listening?" Somi finally gets the hint when Soojin would rather play than listen to her. Seo Soojin does not play games.
"Not really..."
"Gosh Soo..." Somi rolls her eyes. "This is why you don't have a love life because you don't have any romantic bone in you."
"Don't worry about it Soojinah." Moonbyul waves her off "It wasn't a love story that she was talking about, it's more like a porn."

"No... it wasn't!" Somi snaps back, putting her hands on her waist while shooting an intense glare at her friend who is now deviously eating from other people's plates. "That's why I'm not setting you up with anyone."
The Canadian bred girl snapped at Moonbyul with noodles in her mouth.
"But you Seo Soojin, you're the lucky girl who I'm setting up with this really cool looking guy."
"You know Somi..." Soojin, the most sensible one among their group, put a stop to this "Thank you but no thanks."
"Why not?" Somi pouts in hopes to win over Soojin.
"She doesn't trust your taste, that's why."
"Why are you two so mean to me?! Soojinaaaah..." Somi clenches on the raven haired beauty's lean arm "They're mean to me."
"Let go of me, you're making me lose my game..." Soojin says coldly "And besides Somi... I thought you're going to take charge of your life this year?"
"I am serious now..." Somi responded in a matter of fact manner. "In fact I even made a to do list for this school year... I think I have it..."
Somi digs into her bag and pulls out a cheery pink that makes you want to throw up kind of pink paper. "Here you go, my to do list..." she hands her list to Soojin.
Soojin runs her eyes through Somi's list, her small eyes widening at what's in Somi's list.
"To do a guy in an elevator? to do a guy in a kitchen counter? What the hell kind of to do list is this?!"
"Pffft..." Soyeon scoffs "And you wonder why people call you Somi HO- jeon..."
"Ummm... Soojin sunbaenim."
It's pretty obvious why the girl would bow down 90 degrees at them. Seo Soojin was the most respected and feared person in the entire campus. School council president, Running for College honors, Head cheerleader and even a volunteer in the animal shelter.
Seo Soojin simply does it all...
"Yes? Why?"
The girl looks up with a worried look on her face.
"It's ummm something to do with Yuqi-shii..."
"Yuqi?" Soojin jumps up from her seat "What happened?"
"She's in the clinic right now."
The chair made a screeching sound against the tile as Soojin hurriedly pushed it to get out of the way.
"You guys go ahead to class! I have to go."
Even if Seo Soojin was speeding through the cafeteria, everyone felt like they were watching her in slow motion. Her raven haired flowing behind her, her height giving her superiority, and that undeniable sexiness, there wasn't a girl who could attract attention like she did.
Her friends completely understand Soojin's rush, Soojin was usually level headed and composed but when it comes to her kid sister, Soojin was willing to gamble anything.
"Stop trying to hook Soojin up with your dudes!" Soyeon got on Somi.
"Yeah right..." Somi rolls her eyes. "Like you two could find someone better?"
"Oh hell yeah we can." Moonbyul responded to the challenge.
"Pfft... oh please... like you two even know any guys."
Moonbyul and Soyeon just share devious knowing stares, and Somi completely picked up on what the two are trying to say.
"You two are out of your mind if you think Soojin plays for the other team."
"What? Were not saying anything."
"But it's what you two are thinking..." Somi points the two in accusation. "And besides she can't be gay..."

Somi says confidently as she flips her hair like the cheerleader that she is.
"Cause if she is gay, she would have hit on me already..."
Sometimes Soyeon and Moonbyul can't believe where Somi's self confidence just comes out from.
Somi chuckles arrogantly. "I mean who doesn't want a piece of this lovin?"
Then out of nowhere, Somi gasps as if she just had an epiphany.
"Or maybe the reason why Soojin never goes out with anybody that I try to pair her up with is because she's secretly in love with me..."
Moonbyul and Soyeon just shake their heads, it was useless to argue with such a delusional girl.
"And it pains her to see me with somebody else..."
"Just stop! Stop before we slap you..." Soyeon threatens the girl. "First she's not interested in you... and second,"
Soyeon hooks her arms around Somi's pretty neck to pull her closer.
"Don't be too loud... me and Moonbyul were just trying to hypothesize it. That the reason she never shows interest in guys is because she's just not attracted to them. I mean the guys who show interest in her, some of them are super hot but she never even gives them more than a second look."
"I know how we can figure out if she's G-A-Y" Somi says out
"Oh yeah... how?"
Somi smirks devilishly, "I will try to seduce her."
"Just shut up... will you? Just hush..."
"So, what are we going to do?" Somi wonders.
Soyeon was quiet and both Moonbyul and Somi could see that the evil genius was now churning her brain for a plan.
"We will hook her up with a girl."
Moonbyul and Somi step back, that idea seems risky and the potential of Soojin killing them is quite high.
"No... we will do it secretly... we will find a girl and turn her into Soojin's dream girl."
For once the brilliant evil mind of Soyeon doesn't seem to function well.
"I know... I know..." Soyeon says as she saw the hesitation of the two "The plan seems stupid but just trust me this will work... The only question now is... who is the girl?"
****
The clinic receptionist shot a glare at Shuhua for making all the unnecessary noise fidgeting around in her chair. The girl was super cute, but she has mischief written all over it, her messy ponytail, her uniform not put up snappily.
Shuhua tries to win the receptionist over with a smile, maybe she will let her in to see Yuqi.
"Can I-"
"No..." The evil receptionist snaps at the girl.
Shuhua looks like a puppy who got caught in the headlights as the receptionist growls at her.
"Excuse me, miss?"
Everyone immediately turned to the warm, sensual voice.
"Omo..." Shuhua accidentally let it out as she saw the tanned beauty. The girl looked like she just jumped out from an anime. Shuhua hurriedly tries to fix herself before Seo Soojin could see her.
Yeh Shuhua has always been madly in love (that's what she knows) with her best friend's unnie. But of course for someone with a status like Seo Soojin, all she ever was to her was an annoying little kid.
"You!"
Shuhua was in the midst of fixing her hair when she saw Soojin glaring at her.
"You have something to do about this, huh?"
"Huh?" Shuhua answer Soojin so smoothly.
"Ms. Seo... you can go in now."
"I'll deal with you later..." Soojin let out an irritated growl before walking away.
"You... hey you..."
"Wae?"
The receptionist growls at the cute, hopeless girl she has been staring at the close door to where the gorgeous girl walks in.
"You can see your friend now."
"Oh thanks you."
The receptionist has her eyes dead set on the cute girl, who looks like she is trying to find something.
"Can I borrow this?"
The girl asks as she picks up a flower vase.
****
"Yuqi! Yuqi!"
Both Yuqi and her older sister turn toward the door at the enthusiastic voice.
"I got you... well... no... actually I just borrowed it..."
She hands the flower vase to her friend.
"But it's the thought that counts, right?" Shuhua says sheepishly.
"Yeah... thanks Shu..."
Shuhua then reaches out to grab a rose from the vase and extends her arm out to hand the rose to Soojin.
"For you unnie..."
Yuqi could only slap herself mentally with how her friend is acting. She knew Shuhua has always, always liked her unnie and though she's pretty sure her unnie will never like her back, she doesn't have the heart to tell Shuhua that.
Yuqi's beautiful sister didn't respond to her and instead just narrowed her eyes as if she knew that the other girl meant trouble. She has tsundere written all over her.
"Be nice unnie..." Yuqi whispers to her sister "It was Shuhua who carried me all the way to the clinic."
"Well, she should know she is the reason why you're here in the first place..."
Hmmm... a tsundere indeed...
"Ummm... I'm sorry?"
"It's okay Shu..."
Soojin gasps at how stupidly nice her sister was "She gave you 5 stitches."
"Unnie... Shuhua is sorry about it already."
"Well... she..."
Ring... ring... ring...
"Hello Somi?"
"Your unnie needs a cooler ringtone..." Shuhua whispers to Yuqi.
Soojin hears Shuhua's whisper and quickly glares at her.
"Emergency? Right now? But I'm with..."
"It's okay unnie..." Yuqi waves her unnie off "I'm okay now, Just go to Somi unnie..."
"Fine... I'll be there quick..." Soojin presses the red button. "Yuqi, will you be ok going home?"
Soojin almost snarls as she sees the skinny, pale girl raise her arm up in the air like an elementary school kid ready to answer a teacher's question.
"I'll take her home..." Shuhua nods, "I'll prove to you unnie... I can protect you and your family..."
"I don't trust you."
"Don't let my skinny self fool you... I'm strong..." Shuhua defended herself.
"Unnie... Shuhua..." Yuqi steps in to referee between the two. "I will be okay really..."
But while Yuqi is trying to convince her unnie, Soojin still looks pretty determined about the younger girl.
"Ok fine..." Soojin exhales sharply, "But only because you say so..."
****
"This is the emergency you are talking about?!" Soojin snaps angrily at Somi for this ridiculousness
"It is an emergency... an emergency of the heart..."
Soojin opens her mouth ready to fire back, but shuts it again when she realizes that there is no point at being angry. What's done is done.
"Excuse us for a second..." Soojin tries to smile politely at this Amber person before dragging Somi to the corner.
"What do you think you're doing? Setting me up with Amber?"
Oooppss... says Somi inside her head. She was always the most stubborn one in the group. And even if Soyeon says that they will find that special girl together, she went ahead and tried to find the girl for Soojin and she picked Amber... the manliest of them all.
"Ummm... well..." quick Somi, you're brilliant you can get out of this... "Really? I thought she was a dude?"
Soojin couldn't figure out if she should mentally slap herself or mentally slap Somi.
"Somi, we go to an all girls university. she might look like a dude, but she's a girl."
"Oh... I thought she's a dude... like you know how Sulli pretended to be a dude to get into Minho's school? Maybe that's Amber's case too? She's a dude pretending to be a girl."
"That only happens in drama... Somi and if she's pretending to be a girl, she's doing such a lousy job."
"So, it's a no?"
"It's a Hell no..."
****
But obviously Amber didn't get the point and has now become Seo Soojin's stan trailing Soojin wherever she goes.
"Do you have anything to do with this?"
Soyeon jumps on Somi as Soojin was hiding out somewhere in the university again
"Ummm... no..." Somi denies, biting on her carrot so the two would leave her alone.
But Soyeon and Moonbyul are already staring at her in suspicion... This problem has Jeon Somi written all over it.
****
Soojin has her amazing flexibility to thank for as she is able to squeeze out of a school locker.
Boo...
Soojin jumps up in fright and turns around to see Amber catching up to her again.
"Oh Amber... it's you..."
"Unnie... sometimes I think you are trying to run away from me." Amber wags her finger teasingly...
"What? Of course not..." Soojin chuckles embarrassingly for getting caught. How childish is this? If she wants out from all this stalking, she needs to be honest.
"Truth is...I... ummm... you know... ummm... I'm with somebody right now."
Soojin couldn't help but mentally facepalm herself for covering up with a lie. Hopefully it wouldn't blow up in her face.
"Really?" Amber raised her brow, quite suspicious of this. "You're Seo Soojin if you're with someone I thought it would be all over campus."
"It is... it's just you know... a secret."
"Who?" Amber pried for more evidence.
"It 's ummm..."
Soojin's eyes quickly darted around the whole hallway. A sense of guilt started to take over her to admit to herself that even if she recognized most of the girls around school, still she can't remember any of their names.
Her? With the bear backpack? How ridiculous could this girl be? What kind of a college student wears a rilakkuma backpack?
"It's ummm her."
"Her?"
"Ahhh... yeah..." No matter how much it hurt Soojin, right now she has no choice. "Ummm... Shuhua-yah?"
Shuhua's face scrunches into a frown when she hears someone calling her name filled with puking aegyo.
"Shuhua-yah?"
Shuhua looks for the culprit among the girls in the hallway. Until she saw her, her love now has a look of such despair in her face.
"Yes?" Shuhua pops in between the two. "You're not mad at me anymore?"
"What?" Soojin chuckles nervously "Of course I can't be mad at you for long... ummm... baby."
"Huh?" Could this be it? Did Seo Soojin finally realize that they're meant to be?
"I can't be mad this long at my girlfriend, right?"
Soojin is giving Shuhua the signal, wishing that she takes the hint and starts pretending...
"Ahhh... yeah... yeah... of course... I am... no one better for Seo Soojin than me... Why you? you trying to take away my girl?"
Even if Shuhua was frowning, it's hard to take someone with such a cute face so seriously. But Shuhua was serious...
"Are you? Are you?" She steps closer getting in Amber's space "Hmmm? Hmmm?"
Soojin could say Shuhua is doing a good job pretending to be this girlfriend thing.
"Wanna fight?" Shuhua shows Amber her fists.
"Alright... alright..." Amber waves her arms out in surrender... "Geez..."
Amber turns around, ready to lick out her wounds.
Soojin let out a sigh of relief as she watched Amber finally leave.
"Ummm... thanks Shuhua... I owe you one."
"No problem girlfriend."
Girlfriend?
Soojin turns her head in terror. Did she just hear it right? Did Shuhua just call her, her girlfriend?
"Shuhua... you know thank you for doing this... but I just did this so that Amber would stop bothering me."
"Don't worry girlfriend I will never let her bother you again."
Soojin clenches her forehead as she feels a vein pulsating madly. What on Earth is happening? She sees Shuhua typing madly in her phone with a kkuma case... Oh my God... her girlfriend is a freaking kid... hold on a sec... Did she just unconsciously admit that Shuhua is her girlfriend?
"It's just pretend, Shuhua."
Shuhua suddenly stopped typing and Soojin no matter how cold she might be was helpless at those teary puppy eyes.
"Why can't we make it real? Don't you like me?"
"W-well... I do... but..." Soojin stammers, struggling for an answer.
"Then... that's all we need!" Shuhua says excitedly "you like me, I like you... "
"B-but Shuhua..." Soojin tries her best to sound reasonable. "Were just supposed to be pretending."
"B-but..." Shuhua says... "I already tweet about it."
Shuhua raises her phone to show the evidence. Soojin moves closer to see and there it is, right in Shuhua's t-list for the whole world to see.
Kkumalover @Shuhuaddict
Officially off the market, I belong to @Seocherry already <3
"A-are you breaking up with me already?"
Soojin could swear she hears Shuhua's voice crack as she asks the question. And that face... God Damn that too cute of a face, how could she just say no to that?

I try to vomit but after we got separated from the supply line for more than 6 days after the attack of a squadron of dragons there wasn’t much left for me to eat, so the only thing that was coming out of my mouth was the sound of emptiness I want to go home...I want to see my family..I..I... ZoOm…BoOm I flinch, I could swear the Artillery shells are getting more precise after every second, I try to grab my gun without looking at the corpse of my squad mate, the moment my fingertips grace the cold steel of my weapon I feel something wet, I shudder knowing what it was. I close my eyes and stand up my hand around my gun, planning to never let it go. I try to rub the blood of my hands on my already dirty pants and after that i climb out and run faster than i ever did before... ...Ziiiiiip...splash.... / the Cover art belongs to the kikstarter campaign of Interbellum RPG /
