The Magic Shop

A few weeks ago

"Hey, have you heard about the new shop right across the school?" The mean girl of the class asked one of her minions. "Actually no, wanna go there after class Subin?" The minion slash puppet answered and looked at her with an excited expression. "I heard that they sell lots of adorable accessories" the girl added. "Be careful" the school playboy playfully whispered into Subin's ear. Subin giggled annoyingly as she 'tried' to stop him. "Jihyun stop it" she said with a flirty voice and giggled. Jihyun stood straight and put his dirtied hands inside his pockets, "no seriously, before that new shop opened I heard the former owner of that lot was murdered there" Subin gave him an astonished look as she clung onto him like a gum. "She almost took me there" Subin whimpered as she pointed to her puppet and pouted, "don't worry baby you won't get hurt" Jihyun looked at the poor girl being blamed for something that doesn't even make sense.

Lunch break started and that means the class will go like wild animals. Jihyun and his friends started laughing at a certain person, "dude do you even see how ugly that girl is?" One of his friends laughed as they started throwing a bunch of hurtful words at her. "She must've been cursed" they laughed loudly, but suddenly stopped by another student listening to their endless insults.

"You wanna die?" A girl threatened his gang. "Woah the tomboy's here" Jihyun commented as his friends once again burst into a pit of laughter at his idiotic statement. The girl swiftly took her pocket knife and held it along his jawline as she tightly gripped his face "say it one more time and I won't hesitate to make an ugly mark on your stupid face" she spat and gave them a dead look and put it back into her pocket. She went back to her seat as she covered her face with a hoodie.

"Bro, she's not joking let's get outta here" one of his friends tried to chill out Jihyun, "DAMN YOU! YOU SICK MORON" Jihyun exclaimed as he tried to shook off his friends' hands off him. "I swear I'm gonna kill that son of a *beep*" (not for kids) he muttered one last time before they all went out the room. The two girls were left inside as the silence filled the air, students were heard laughing downstairs and gossiping everywhere. The hallways were filled with students either making out in front of a locker or trying to make their selves look good.

The 'tomboy' made her way towards the student who was receiving a lot of ugly insults from a bunch of idiotic and dumb male students. "You okay?" She said as she took out her handkerchief and handed it to the now crying student. The poor girl shakily accepted the offer and sniffed. She looked up with her eyes puffy and nose red, "sorry I dirtied your handkerchief" she quickly apologized, "I'll wash it at home before I give it back" she forced a smile as the student in front her wasn't buying her fake smile. "Shut up, my name's Chaeyoung" she took her hand out for a shake, "a little old fashioned aren't we?" The female student spit out a small laugh as she took her hand and shook it. "Heejin" she gave Chaeyoung a small sincere smile as they talked about how annoying and dumb their class was.

Meanwhile

"The world's full of hate" a tall male tapped his chin with his index finger, indicating that he was thinking deeply. The boys gathered around in a circle as they watched the horrific scenes at a high technology robot that can flash a screen in the air with its eye, which could be only found in BT planet, and one of those horrific scenes they saw was Heejin's. "Just look at that!" A guy whose face was always smiley and his aura always sunshine exclaimed, full of anger inside him as he watched every single scene unfold in front of his eyes.

"We need to prove that this world can be a better place" another guy said as he professionally flipped a pancake. Their faced filled with disgust as they saw how horrendous the world became. Another male whose lips turns into a box like shape when he smiles turned off Van, the robot. He sighed, "we need to help those two female students first" a sleepy male said as he munched on his pancakes. "I agree" the tall male stopped tapping on his chin.

"But how?" The youngest among them asked, "I've got it all figured out" the tall guy stood up, proud at his statement.

The guys gathered around a table as the tall guy explained. "First, we open a shop." All of them nodded, "we'll open a shop near the two female students' school. I was thinking maybe right across the school. And then, we disguise ourselves."

"As what?" The youngest tilted his head to the side with an imaginary huge question mark above his head.

"You'll know"

"You love plushies?" Heejin nodded in excitement as she was hopping towards the shop across their school. "Seriously you're a kid" Chaeyoung scoffed as she let down her long hair. Heejin's face was filled with astonishment as she saw what a beauty Chaeyoung really was. "Woah" she exhaled in amazement, "what? You never saw hair before?" Chaeyoung snorted as she fixed her hair. "Wow you're actually fixing it, you're always in a ponytail and you even wear a freaking beanie in class" Heejin held her laughter as she tried not to get a glare from Chaeyoung, she failed eventually. She didn't get a glare but she got a good smack on the head. "Ow"

"Oh we're here" they realized as they looked at the sketchy looking shop, there were two shops right in front of them, one was the pinky pink shop but the other caught both their eyes. "This looks cool" Heejin widened her eyes as she saw the strange looking shop but in a good way. "A.... magic shop?" Chaeyoung raised her eyebrow as Heejin looked at the shop with sparkling eyes.

The shop looked magical as it said above the door 'magic shop' just the outside of the shop made it feel like they were in Ollivanders. "Looks pretty iffy to me" Chaeyoung shrugged as they both went inside. As they went inside, the little bell rang as they opened the door. Heejin exhaled in awe, the walls were painted with different mixed colors as if they just entered the galaxy, there were planets painted on the ceiling but somehow an unfamiliar planet was bigger than the others, which made Heejin more confused. "Pluto huh?" Chaeyoung muttered.

There were different shelves and each shelves was filled with weird goodies. But when they arrived at a certain shelf, which was filled with plush toys, they noticed the wall behind it was written with 'you gave me the best of me' but there was a space below it as if there was something missing. Heejin held one of the plushies and smiled as Chaeyoung did the same. "Hey the tag says 'Love yourself' that's nice" Chaeyoung appreciated the owner, whoever they were. "I think I'm gonna get this one" Chaeyoung held the koala plushy while Heejin held her dog with yellow hoodie plushy. "She fell in love" Heejin teased with her eyes narrowed and her lips grew a smirk.

"Shut up"

They paid their stuff and walked towards the door. "Why is there a robot here?" Chaeyoung whispered cautiously looking back at the cashier register. "Do I look like I know?" Heejin stopped her tracks as she suddenly felt dizzy, "I feel sleepy" was the last thing she said before she dozed off. "Wait- hey! Heejin" Chaeyoung caught Heejin but soon began feeling dizzy as well. "What the-"

And everything went dark.
