DOOM 7

*Seol Mi's POV*

"The number you have dialed is out of coverage area..."- my phone said. I dialed and dialed and finally, they picked up. "Yeoboseoyo? Umma, Appa, Oppa, Dongsaeng...."- I said.

"Thank God you're ok Seol Mi. Don't worry about us, we are in our house dear. Do you have company there?"- Umma asked.

"Ne umma. There are 19 of us"

"Ok good thing. Please come back home soon ok? We are waiting for you here at our house. Remember, be strong and brave"- Appa advised. I smiled.

"Ne Appa and Umma. I will see you all soon"- I said and hanged up.

"Wait a minute. I just realize that Ms. Loser here was bossy around all of us!"- Hanju suddenly said as she walks down the stairs while combing her hair. Huh? Wait, what is she trying to talk about now?!

"What does that even mean Hanju?"- I asked her. I clearly heard the doors from upstairs open. They probably heard her voice. "Haven't you all noticed? She made resistance or that is what she calls for our team as survival. And maybe at the end, she will run away and make us became like those zombies!"- Hanju said. I clenched my fists.

She's getting on my nerves!

"What are talking about Hanju? Seol Mi would never do such a thing. Watch your mouth"- Xena defended walking to our side.

"Can't you all see? We are like her minions! She was using us because she needs us to help her in her so-called mission of saving us from this hell. And how dare she even set us into groups when we are about to risk ourselves in just getting all of the stuff that we ever need"- Hanju said.

"That's enough, Choi."- Minjun warned as he walked near her. But I keep my cool aura, I can't be affected by her words. Because all was a lie. I can't leave them at the very end, I swore to myself to keep us all as one.

"Enough? Are you defending someone who is a loser like her? How pathetic of you are. You have a low taste of women, tsk"- Hanju pointed to Minjun. "So? Does that means that Jenny didn't have a taste as my ideal girl?"- he pointed out. "Uh? Uh....well......That...that's not what I meant. What I meant was for this loser"- she chatterley said. It was pretty obvious that she was nervous.

"Tsh, scaredy-cat. Your not pretty at all"- Minjun said as he was walking out.

"Hey! How dare you calling me not pretty?! I have more admirers and suitors than Jenny was. She was jealous of me Mr. Park for your information! Yah!"- Hanju said and it made Minjun stop his tracks and faced her. "So what? After all, we never ask you how many men are tailing and following your orders or even wanting your beauty or body. In the first place, you didn't have beauty and a brain. Only a body."- Minjun smirked and went upstairs.

"Hanju-ya. Cant, you just be happy that you are with us who is alive?"- Hyun Jin said. "Yeah, you're lucky that we didn't drove off after we saw you guys running to the gym"- Seojun said. "To tell you the truth, we were about to leave you guys if it wasn't for Jeong Wu oppa who knows you"- Miye said from the second floor. "Seol Mi hasn't told us some reasons why we are here yet. Honestly, we are accidentally meeting each other at some places while she was looking for her friend, that is why we are here together"- Yeong Chul said from upstairs too. "And we hope you don't plant any wrong ideas of her intentions. It was clear that she wanted us all to be safe and away from those zombies"- Byul Yeon added.

"Oh my gosh. Why is it that these oppas and these freaks were infected by the germs of Seol Mi the loser?!"- Hanju said almost laughing like a sinister. I was nearly choking her neck because she was getting on my nerves since we're on the bus. Glad that Eun Wook stopped me. "Have you affected to what I said, huh Seol Mi?! Tell us why are you teaming us up when you know that these oppas couldn't get along in the first place!! And even let this bitches join us?! Just tell us that you are using us for benefits!"- Hanju said smirking while pointing to the girls upstairs and these guys. I was getting angry. That's not true!!

"That's not true!!"- I gritted my teeth, still clenching my fists. "Then tell me how did you convince the hearts of this famous oppas?!"- she asked. "Hanju, stop it!"- Xena said.

"Stop?! You and your best friend would be almost the same! Stupid heads! Immature behaviors!"- Hanju said.

"You want me to tell you? Fine! I'll dictate the names of the persons that I have encountered, convinced them, and just let them join me in the resistance. First, Hyun Jin, Eun Wook, Yong Rin, Miye, Klouie, Byul Yeon, Lin Dong, Jihun, Minjun, Jeong Wu, Kyung Rim, Xena, Seojun, Yeong Chul, Rey, Dong Hyeon, Andrea, Brianna, and you. Any more queries?"- I narrated.

"Why would I'll be the last?!"- she asked. "Your the last one to enter the bus. Any questions?! I'm going to answer it."- I said. Hyun Jin raised his hand. "Are you sure that we will be fine as long as we keep ourselves together?"- he asked. "Oh my goodness Hyun Jin, I already told you many times about it. Yes. As long as all of us will work as one, cooperate and protect each other's back. We will be ok. And if some of you were not in favor of the resistance, you're free to go out"- I said and went out of the balcony alone. I deeply sighed. I never became selfish with all my life. Even if I hate someone or something, I still helped them wholeheartedly without filters. And even if I wanted to escape by myself, I still think about others rather than myself.

I pull out my hanky in my pocket and placed it on my elbows. I'm going to take a nap. I want to forget my debate with Hanju, tsh for the first time in my life. I finally talk like that to Hanju and the other guys, talking like they are not famous like they are just normal People.

*~*~*~*~*~*

*Hyun Jin's POV*

Why would Hanju even tell us some weird stuff? Is she that noisy and an attention seeker? She's the pathetic one, not Seol Mi.

"Yah, you're so stupid you know"- Hanju suddenly busted into the library. I was all alone here searching for some book to read. I tilted my head and look at her. "What are you trying to say?"- I asked. I was never been alone with Hanju before, I honestly find it weird.

"So you're the first guy that she convinced right?"- she asked. "She didn't convince me. I was the one who saw her risking herself to pass those zombies. And I was the one who follows her to where she was going, she started the planning of the resistance when we encountered Eun Wook on the hallways of the second floor and then we saw everyone along the way"- I stated. She is still not convinced about what Seol Mi just said. It's annoying!

"I asked you when did it start. You even look like a scaredy-cat while with her."- she said. "I had enough with you in one day. You keep on talking nonsense about Seol Mi. Are you not even tired about it?"- I asked her. She went off-limits for me.

"Wow. I see what the hell is going on"- she laughed her head off. "You like Seol Mi, aren't you?"- she said. "What the hell are you talking about? Like Seol Mi?! Of course not. I didn't even notice her existence in so many years in Gongbin High. All I know about her is she was a commoner and a loser along with Xena and Andrea. So why the hell would I like her?!"- I asked. She was talking whatever she liked to say. When will she stop?!

"Tsk tsk tsk. From the way you speak. You like her. I feel you. I even like a nerd before who is as a loser as Seol Mi is. But he has never been my classmate, but I always see him in the locker areas and in the cafeteria, he always got beaten and bullied by our schoolmates. He has braces, nerd glasses, his hair was always down like bangs, and it's color black, he once tried out a basketball team but he was not qualified because he was a nerd and a nobody so he never got in good terms of the players, so after many weeks, I never saw him again. I even miss seeing him suffering from bullies. Anyways, if I were you. Choose someone who is as perfect as me. I guarantee that you will never regret"- she started to remove her coat and blouse and was about to unbutton the upper buttons of her blouse but I immediately went out with 2 novel books. I even heard her yelling my name many times.

Is she trying to seduce me or deceiving me to like her?

On my way out, I saw Minjun already on the door. He probably heard us. "Hanju likes you that's why she calls you stupid"- he said. "What does that even mean?"- I asked him. Never in my life, I was able to talk with these other famous guys. And never heard any news before that the 12 of us were talking nice kinds of stuff, only bad comments and harsh words can be heard from us when it comes to the issue of fame and legacy.

"Why would Hanju even like me? Tsh, this is stupid. She has many admirers as I have heard from her. While me, I have many girls"- I said and walks out.

"You are that nerd she was talking about, aren't you? Byun Hyun Jin?"- he said and I stopped my tracks.

"What are you talking about. That's not me"- I said. "You can't fool me, Mr. Campus Playboy. I was there witnessing everything. I even saw you cried on the boy's bathroom way too many times"- he said. So he did figure it out now huh? I faced him with my usually bored look. "Alright, you got a thought. But mind you, it doesn't happen again"- I said and walks downstairs.

I just smirked. Smart. He was right. I am a nerd before I become a famous guy. I hide before and doing everything not to be noticed by anyone. I never actually made contact with anyone here. Fun fact is, I always saw Seol Mi with her friends, Xena and Andrea. And have you ever thought of a feeling that you wanted to get closer to your crush but she never noticed you?

Yes. I see Seol Mi almost all day. Even on her sad times or happy times, I wanted to go to her, but she was busy studying and with her friends. I was so dumb. And a fool for not doing any steps to get closer to her.

One day after I finished doing tryouts of the basketball, I cried at home. I faced the mirror and told myself to change. I decided to remove my braces, changed my hair color from black to brown. Fixing my accent and the way I put my clothes on. At that time, everyone thinks that I'm the transferee. And I auditioned for the football team, glad that they get me. I smirked that time when I was accepted because rather than my talent, I've got a visual. So at that time, I realize that they only accept and noticed those persons who have visuals and were born rich.

And every game, I noticed Seol Mi with her friends. I can't help but stare at her many times. I guess she was my lucky charm after all. Even if I'm already famous since freshmen, I still can't go near Seol Mi and just tell her how I feel for her. I just can't. I'm so dumb when it comes to love.
