Miss Chan & Lala

(Five hours ago, after the fight in the bathroom)

Author's POV

After shutting the door behind her, Lala stepped into her room and rested her back against it. She shut her eyes and nibbled on her lower lip, reflecting on the shame she had brought upon herself. It was astonishing how unkind Yerim, Bae, and Tsuki had been. The way they falsely accused Lee Haeyoung was heartless. Lala yearned to yank the ponytails off their heads, but she couldn't. It wasn't just because it was prohibited, but also because Kim Hyun-Gi was there, watching her every move.

Holding her anger in, she stormed out the bathroom and went to her bedroom after the argument in the bathroom happened. Kim Hyun-Gi stopped her along the way and tried to comfort her, but that conversation didn't go so well either. She recalled the words Kim Hyun-Gi said. The words that totally changed her perspective of Kim Hyun-Gi.

"Because I care, okay?!"
