Doctor Demon

Chapter 192 - Blue Hyacinths (16)

There was a deathly silence following her words. She silently challenged every one of them and none of them dared to refute her words. Her gaze fell on Sera, who was trying to leave the class.

"YOU!" she yelled. "Fatty!"

She pointed at Sera and motioned her to come closer. Sera winced and gulped. Soobin was about to tell Baekha off but Yoonmin stopped her.

"Trust me, Sera isn't innocent here," he muttered to her. 

"What?" she whispered. "What do you mean?"

Minyoon watched as Sera approached Baekha, looking timid.. Sera glanced at him for help but this time, he stayed still. After her stint with the blind date, he was in no mood to save her. Last time, he stood up because she was being bullied but now, he was having doubts.

"Y-Yes, Baekha?" she stammered.

"Show me your bag," Baekha demanded.

"W-Why?" Sera cried. "I'm not showing you my bag!"

"Leave her alone!" Miho spoke up. "She's been bullied enough! First Rachel and now you-"

"Tell her to give me her bag," Baekha ordered. But the other students were now supporting Sera.

"You're such a slut!" one girl said. "Don't you have any shame? Coming to school without a shirt and you're blaming poor Sera for it?"

"Honestly, you're just a pompous princess!" Another boy claimed.

"Arrogant heiress to the Cho family! No wonder your brother committed suicide all those years ago."

But Baekha was not going to listen to any more of their nonsense. She stood up and slammed her hands on the desk. Her grey eyes glowered at them, silencing the idiots with a look alone.

"Either you hand over your bag otherwise, I will tell the school authorities to check the CCTV footage and decide who was the real bully here," she warned Sera. "And I'm not fucking around, fatty!"

"Baekha…" Soobin began. "Sera wouldn't-"

"Soobin, check Sera's bag," Minyoon said. Everyone was shocked to see Minyoon standing up for Baekha.

"If Sera didn't do anything, she has nothing to fear," he pointed out. "And we'll see who the real culprit is."

Baekha did not reply to him but was still glaring at the fatty who was now nervous. Soobin stepped forward and took Sera' bag. She was hoping that Baekha was wrong but Sera was also acting a little strange.

Everyone held their breaths as Soobin searched the bag and took out a shirt stained with orange juice. Soobin's mouth widened in horror and she gave Sera a disappointed look.

"Sera, did you really do this?" she asked her. 

"She did," Baekha stated. She snatched the shirt from Soobin's hands and put it on. "If you mess with me next time, I'll not bother with this charade. I'll simply break your bones, got it fatty?"

Minyoon scowled at Sera.

"Didn't I warn you that day, not to pull something shitty again?" he sneered at her. "What the hell is wrong with you?"

Sera was now on the verge of tears. Everyone stared at her with disgust. It was the same look they had given her all her life. She was the one who was always bullied! So what if she did the same to someone else? The other students should let her off the hook for what they had done to her all the time!

"Sera…"

Soobin tried to touch her shoulder but Sera shoved her aside.

"Stop pretending to be my friend!" she yelled at Soobin. "You're such a two-faced bitch! You fan girl over Minyoon but now, you're dating Yoonmin? I like him! I like Yoonmin and yet, you stole him away from me! You're such a heinous slut-"

Soobin was shocked by the accusations. Sera like Yoonmin? But she never mentioned anything like that!

"Aren't you being too full of yourself?" Yoonmin told her. "What the hell do you mean by stealing? I didn't even know about your existence until Soobin came along. Even then, I pitied you but I liked her."

"Sera, you need to calm down and think about what you did to Baekha," Minyoon added.

"She needs to think about her entire existence," Baekha muttered. Everyone was criticizing Sera. Only Soobin stayed quiet, not sure of what to do. She was too numb to think and she needed some space to process all this. Sera hated her. And she was not even sure why.

"Everyone, I think we're judging Sera too harshly," Miho said. "After all, we used to bully her as well. This was just a mistake. I'm sure Sera is very sorry about it."

She pointed at Sera who was crying hard. Life was unfair to her and no one wanted to understand it. She gritted at Soobin who was the cause of all her problems and now, Baekha also joined in to add to her misery!

"Just look at her," Miho said. "Don't you think she's suffered enough? It was only a prank! Sera suffered more than Baekha did in this school. We shouldn't be harsh on her."

The students were now whispering to themselves. The twins listened to snippets of their intense discussions, knowing very well that they were changing colors.

"I just want a break!" Sera sobbed and hugged Miho, who hugged her back. The other students now felt sympathetic to Sera and admired Miho for her maturity.

"Miho is so nice. She's even placating Sera," one student whispered.

"Baekha might be hot but actions were seriously shitty," another student said. "It was just a shirt! A harmless prank."

"I feel really sorry for Sera now."

"I always felt that Soobin was too nice and fake," another student said, shooting a disgusted look at Soobin.

"Fake friends! How sick."

Yoonmin was about to tell them off but Soobin stopped him. She shook her head. He stepped back, biting his tongue. 

"What the hell are you all doing?"

Everyone scrambled back to their seats upon hearing the teacher yelling at them. Baekha smoothed her shirt. Suddenly, a jacket was put over her shoulders. Startled, she looked around to find that Minyoon had given it to her.

"That's my fan club jacket," he said. "You can wear it for the day."

"Uh…"

"Think of it as repayment for helping my sister that day," he winked.

"Thanks," she muttered and put on the jacket to hide her stained shirt. It was too large for her but warm. 

She glanced back at Soobin, who was looking down. Her face was hidden by her long locks but Baekha could tell that she was secretly trying not to cry.

Sera really messed up, she thought. Somewhere in her heart, Baekha was feeling guilty towards Soobin because Sera's outburst had hurt her. Soobin was genuinely nice to her and it was obvious. Too bad some people could not appreciate it.

Baekha thought hard and wrote a note. 

Soobin was not looking up. Instead, she was blankly staring at her notebook when a note was dropped in front of her.

"Wanna hang out at my place after school? Lemme know :)

-Bakeha"

"Looks like you found a new friend," Yoonmin whispered to her.

"I…"

"Stop chasing fake people like Sera," he advised her. "She chose her way. You shouldn't feel responsible for her shitty actions."

Soobin bit her lip. Sera was up ahead, sitting next to Miho. She was still crying…

But Yoonmin was right. Sera needed to figure out her issues on her own. Soobin picked up a pen and wrote, "Okay" on the note before throwing it on Baekha's desk. The latter opened it and turned slightly to smile at her.
