49 The Plan!
After the school was over;
"Yayyy! Thanks, Mia...I thought the mission was aborted for forever." So Hee said as she came on the rooftop of the school and saw Mia.
Ye Rin was already there standing beside her.
"Hey, Guys…" April also came with Hana following So Hee.
"How did you change your mind?" April asked though she was relieved about the mission's restart.
"Yeah…What happened to the thing…you know… "What if he likes her? What if it breaks his heart?"…" Ye Rin asked Mia as she looked at her.
"You know what guys….I've been thinking in the wrong way, I guess….
I thought…Gyuri would understand her mistakes one day eventually…But, it seemed she was going for more…And now we have to show her the right place!
And about Ray….If he really likes her...It's better to break his heart now than later!"
"Wow, Girl! You are on Fire!" So Hee said as she was admiring Mia's determined face.
"I like this side of Mia…" Hana said.
"But…whose phone was that? I thought you didn't have one." April asked.
"It is mine. It's a Christmas gift from my father." Mia answered.
"Ohhh…"
"So?" Ye Rin said. "Does anyone have a plan?"
"Yeah…A Plan…Hmmm…" Hana murmured to herself.
"I have an idea…We can humiliate her by spreading some ridiculous rumors about her… I've got plenty of people who'll work with me for this.." So Hee said.
"How's that helpful?" April questioned.
"Or….What if we take the help of some of my girls from the class…They are in the boxing club...
You know the rumor she spread about Mia fighting with her…What if we make it come true for her? You know what I mean..." Ye Rin said with a smirk and a devilish look in her eyes.
"What? No! We can't hit her." April said as she heard Ye Rin's terrifying idea.
"Yeah…This won't work and Ray would suspect ME first, for this.
And besides, how'd these things break them apart?" Mia questioned.
"Yeah! We need them to break up!" So Hee said making a fist. "As soon as possible."
"Yeah, Girl. We know, you can't see them together for long." Ye Rin said to her.
"Who'd like to see them together? That girl..B*--"
"Ah! So Hee. You are taking this topic in a different direction." April said.
"Oh, Yeah. I'm sorry."
"Now, think about something that will be a one-shot go.
I mean, she played little games with us, But we…We'd just hit a homerun!
Bigger, stronger, and better. To the Bull's eye!" Mia said as she punched her fist in her other palm.
"Are you getting what I'm saying?" She asked as she looked at others.
"Totally, girl." Ye Rin nodded.
"Is it only me or you guys are also seeing the fire in her eyes?" So Hee whispered.
While April and Hana were looking at Mia. "It's a bit terrifying to see her like this.." Hana whispered back. "I don't like this side of Mia...that much..."
April smiled awkwardly.
"So? What should we do? Any better ideas?" Mia asked the girls.
No one said anything for a couple of seconds.
"It would have been a lot easier if Ray knew the real face of Gyuri," Hana spoke casually.
"..."
Everyone looked at her in surprise.
"THAT'S IT!" Mia shouted in happiness.
"Great idea, Hana!" She said as she came before Hana and held her shoulders tightly.
While Hana was just looking at her confused, "Umm....Is...it?"
"Yeah. Hana, you are really smart. Though you don't look like one." So Hee said smiling at her proudly.
"Way to go girl!" Ye Rin said. April nodded at her.
Hana got flustered by all these praises. She pushed her glasses up, while her cheeks were a bit red.
"But…How would we do this?"Mia asked as she let go of Hana.
Everyone got lost in their thoughts.
"We need to collect some pieces of evidence against her," April said.
"..Or eyewitnesses, who saw her doing something.." Ye Rin added.
"But still, it would be a bit difficult to prove these things to Ray..." Hana said with a worried tone.
"Yeah, that's right. Because it feels like he listens to Gyuri only. And believes in her words." April said.
"It's like witchcraft! That witch-" So Hee clenched her fists.
'He listens to Gyuri only…And believes in her words…' April's words were revolving in Mia's mind.
"What if we make Gyuri talk about her own doings?" Mia asked as she looked at everyone.
"How would that happen, Mia?" So Hee questioned.
"Yeah…Why would she tell her own doings to Ray? It would never happen…" Hana said.
April looked at Mia worriedly.
"That Girl's got a plan!" Ye Rin said with a smirk. "Don't you, Mia?"
"Umm…." Mia started thinking.
"I think….But I need some time to come up with a perfect one…"
"Okay..then."
"It's enough for today."
"Let's meet here tomorrow again," Mia said.
Everyone nodded as they walked towards the door.
"We trust you, Mia." Ye Rin said as she kept her hand on Mia's shoulder.
~
Mia was walking down the road with her bicycle in one hand, lost in her own thoughts.
Thoughts about the mission mainly.
As she came to the circle and was gonna cross the road, she saw two familiar figures.
Ray and Gyuri were sitting at a table of a café, across the road. They were inside the café, on the first floor. But Mia could clearly see them as they were sitting at the window.
Gyuri was holding a spoon before Ray, trying to feed him something.
As Mia saw that, she turned her head to another side.
'It's not about Ray anymore….I don't care about you dating him…
Though I had feelings for him…He was a friend of mine first and you pushed him away from me…
And you pushed me away from you….And you didn't even try to tell me the reason…" Mia's eyes saddened.
'But now I have to take some steps against you…You've overdone it…And I can't just sit and watch you do these things to me and make my life miserable…'
The signal turned green. Mia looked at them again. But this time, Ray was also looking at her.
As their eyes met, she quickly looked to the other side and started crossing the road.
Then without even looking up, she sat on her bicycle and paddled away.

The next day, on the rooftop of the school.
Everyone had gathered there already while Mia was the one who came last.
As soon as she came there,
"So? You've got a plan?"
"What is it?"
"Tell us. How should we start?" Everyone poured series of questions to her.
Mia stayed silent until they all calmed down.
"Okay...Should I talk now?" She looked into everyone's eyes.
Her eyes were filled with confidence and determination. With that, no one said anything further.
"Hana?" Mia turned to her.
"Y-Yes?" Hana stood stiff in tension.
"Your father is the main trusty of this school. Isn't he?"
"Um...Yeah. He is." Hana answered.
Mia nodded to herself. Then she turned to Ye Rin.
"Ye Rin?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you know anyone from the broadcasting club?"
"The broadcasting club? I am a member of the broadcasting club!... On the paper at least."
"You are?" So Hee asked her confused.
"Yes, I am. But I never did anything. It wasn't that much fun, as I expected. So..." Ye Rin shrugged her shoulders.
"Great! So you are a member!" Mia said as if thinking about something.
"Mia?" April asked as she looked at everyone's confused faces.
"Why are you asking these things? What is the plan?" She asked.
"We need to do this without letting it know to the teachers," Mia said.
"There is a meeting, which happens at the start of every term. A meeting between the trustees of the school and all the teachers and the principal…"
"Oh! The day when every class gets a self-study period of 1 or so hours." So Hee said as she remembered it.
"That's right!" Mia said.
"So Hana…We need you to tell us the day and the timing of this meeting…through your dad." Mia looked into Hana's eyes.
"Um..Oh..Ok..ay.." Hana said a bit hesitantly.
"April!"
"Yes?" April said as she also got a bit tensed.
"Your work is….You have to keep Ray away from Gyuri till we start our main part of the plan."
"Okay."
"Me? What about me?" So Hee asked as she was really excited by all this.
"You are my plan- B"
So Hee looked at her confused.
"So, first. Listen to the full plan." Mia said.
Everyone nodded.
"The plan is...."
.
After the plan was told everyone's faces lit up.
"Great!"
"That will be a Knockout!"
"Yeah…And it's just like you said. One-shot! Bull's eye!"
Everyone stood in a circle and brought their hands together.
"MISSION SAVE THE PRINCE FROM THE WITCH! GO!"
