"Why don't we go with my car...it's easier," Jungkook said after Chaeyoung wanted to book a taxi.
Don't pretend to be kind... ― Chaeyoung wanted to say that, but she hold it.
"Then how about we go separately?" She opens the taxi app.
Jungkook takes a few steps closer to her as he wanted her to listen to him but he stops when he saw she moves a few steps back. She makes sure there's a few steps distance between them.
"Hm, my taxi will arrive in 3 minutes. So I'll see you at the shop entrance.." Chaeyoung said before walks away.
Jungkook sighed.
Chaeyoung feels relieved when she's far from Jungkook. If she didn't know him, she would have been thinking he's a nice guy...like how everyone thought about him. So she felt thankful he showed his true self when they met for the first time...and that she knows his kindness didn't mean anything.
The shop street was busy but Chaeyoung already has a listing of which shops has the items she needed. Jungkook obediently following her everywhere. Somehow he felt like she has forgotten that he was there.
At first, he wanted to maybe start a short conversation with her, but seeing how she talk to herself commenting on every product...he decided to just stay quiet. It seems entertaining looking at her making face every time she saw an expensice price for some items.
He could see Park Chaeyoung is an organized student. She already has a list of which store they would go to, she knows which brands are better and affordable. She even prepared a few recycled shopping bags to put all the items.
Sometimes he saw her taking pictures of few items...
"What's that for?" Jungkook asked when she snaps another picture of a bottle of paint.

"Huh?" Chaeyoung turns at him, probably forgotten that he was following her. "Oh, this is a new brand...I take picture so I can look at people's reviews on this new brand. If it's good then maybe the club can use it in the future."
Jungkook nodded. She's taking this job seriously. She's not doing it for the sake of good merit.
Chaeyoung feels hungry after round around the shops buying all the supplies. She wanted to eat but she doesn't want Jungkook to follow her. He surprisingly following behind her everywhere without talking so much.
It's raining outside, and Chaeyoung thinking it's nice weather to eat Jjambbong.
"We bought everything, so...you can go back now." Chaeyoung turned to Jungkook.
He looks at the raining outside of the shop. "Let's go back with my car."
"I can go back on my own. Mr. Han gave me extra money for a taxi," Chaeyoung replied.
Jungkook sighed, already know she will refuse him.
"Did you hate me?" He asked. He really wanted to know how she felt about him.
Chaeyoung's a little taken back by Jungkook's question. Suddenly feeling angry, the way he asked as if she's the one who outcast him. "Why you asked me this when you're the one who hate me?"
Jungkook bites his lower lip, he shouldn't ask her that question...he's wrong. "Back then I misunderstood-"
"Misunderstood?" She cut him off, "Are you saying you're misunderstood for the things I didn't even do? So you're judging me?" Chaeyoung chuckles dryly. She didn't care about the look of people around them. They're in front of the shop and people might be thinking she fights with Jungkook.
He could see her face turned red. He knows she's angry. And Jungkook didn't think this is the right time and place to ask for her forgiveness. She has a right to get mad at him.

"I'm not a perfect hum-"
"You know you're not perfect, yet you wish people to be perfect. You pushed me from the first day we met, you act like I deserved those treatments when you don't even know me."
Jungkook tightened his jaw when he saw Chayoung's eyes also turned red and wet. She was practically letting out her frustration about him.
"It's raining...let me send you back," Jungkook walks closer to her trying to help her carry the recycle bag in her hand.
But she pushed his hand away.
"I'll go back by taxi." Chaeyoung took out her phone, ready to book a taxi but Jungkook holding her other hand.
"I can send you," He tightened his grip on her wrist.
Chaeyoung doesn't push his hand away but she ignores him. She walks to an empty space to book her taxi, and Jungkook's hand still tight on her wrist. He was led forward following her steps.
Jungkook was tall so he could see Chaeyoung's phone screen. Due to the rain, no driver available to take her at this moment.
"It's hard to get a taxi now...my car parked nearby. Just this once, let me drive you back," Jungkook speaking humbly to her.
Chaeyoung moves her arm, "Don't touch me."
But Jungkook stays stubborn. He reduces the strength of his grip, but he didn't let go.
"I know you're angry and I admit I'm not a good person. These art supplies might get wet if you standing here for too long, so just for the sake of them, let's go back with my car."
Jungkook didn't expect Chaeyoung to turn and look at his eyes. Her face and eyes are still red.
"Fine." She said and give the bag to him.
He pulled her hand, leading her to his car. He sees her open the door to the backseat instead of the passenger seat beside the driver. Somehow he knows that she wanted to treat him like a taxi driver.
He let her be. If that can reduce her anger...he'll let her do anything to him.
He deserved the harsh treatment from her.
____ my blabbering, the idea to write this fanfic___
The idea to write this story came after watching Blackpink on Netflix. I don't have soc media account so I never know how much hate they received until I read comments on youtube about their song 'You never know'.
The girls deserved respect.
In my story, Jungkook represents the people who judge the girl without knowing their hard work and everything that happened behind the scene.
Just because they're from a big company doesn't mean they have everything simple and easy. Just because they didn't show their tired face in the practice room or laying on the room floor with a tired face doesn't mean they didn't practice at all and doing nothing. Just because they never said how long they spend time in the studio doesn't mean they didn't stay there until morning.
The girls hardly talk about what happened in their daily life. It simply because they don't want people to feel sympathy for them. Even in their documentary they hardly show how hard they work or how long the time they spend to prepare performances for their concert.
It's sad knowing people judging them just because they didn't show or talk about the things they went through.
Yet the girls never once retort to the hate they received.

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.
