Chapter 4 Getting to know them

They walked up to him, and Samantha pulled his ear.

"How dare you kick the ball straight to her bütt??!" She yelled, and landed a slap on his cheek.

"And all you could say is sorry??" Stella added, and kicked his bütt.

The guy groaned as he fell down. The girls started beating him up, until someone interfered.

"That's enough." A guy said, and they all turned to see Christine walking towards them with his two hands in his pockets.

Selena scoffed and stood with her arms akimbo.

"Did you just say that's enough??" She asked while glaring at him angrily.

"Yes. Isn't that enough already?? Do you want to kïll him?? Aren't you satisfied??" Christine asked as he stopped right in front of them.

"Woah! See this idiot! Do you know what he did??" Sophie yelled, and Christine chuckled while blocking his ears.

"Hey. You're too loud... no matter what he did, you don't have the right to beat him like this." He said.

"Enough!" Sophie yelled and raised her hand to slap him, but he grabbed it in the air and pulled her closer to himself.

So close that they're both feeling each other's breath.

Sophie was so shocked and angry at the same time, but he had a naughty smile.

"It's you who needs to stop." He said, and she forced her hand out of his grip.

She doesn't know what to do next as she was still surprised.

This is the first time she'll ever be so closed to a guy, and secondly, no one has ever dared to cross their lane like Christine just did.

She stood at a spot, transfixed as she kept on staring at him.

The guy groaned on the floor as he tried to stand up but he fell back.

Christine bent over beside him and helped him up.

"Is there any clinic around??" He asked, and the guy nodded while pointing at a far away white building.

"Okay, let's go." Christine said, and the guy leaned on him. They started walking towards the clinic while everyone followed with their eyes.

The guy was limping, and because of that, they couldn't walk faster.

Christine was coming out of the clinic when he sighted Yeon under the big tree in front of the clinic. He smiled as he dipped his hands in his pockets, and walked up to Yeon.

"Hey bud." He said, and Yeon looked up. The moment their eyes met, they both smiled at each other, and Yeon stood up.

"I heard you're here, so I rushed over to check on you. What happened?? Are you hurt somewhere??" Yeon asked while checking his body to see if he's hurt.

Christine smiled and grabbed his hand.

"Gwaenchan-ta. (I'm okay)." He said, and Yeon breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's a relief... so why are you here then??" He asked, and Christine shrugged.

"Nothing much... I brought an injured person... come on let's go." He replied, and they started walking back to their hostel.

"What happened to that person?? Was he involved in an accident??" Yeon asked.

"No. Some girls ganged up to beat him because he did something wrong. Though it was a mistake." Christine replied, and Yeon looked at him.

"Some girls??" He asked with raised eyebrows.

"Yes. The 'S' stars." Christine replied, and Yeon stopped walking abruptly.

"What did the guy do exactly??" He asked, and Christine also stopped walking, as he stared at him.

"They were playing football and when the guy kicked the ball, it hitted Sophie's bütt." Christine replied and Yeon's eyes widened.

"What?! Her bütt???" He shouted and Christine flinched.

"Where's the guy now??... Oh! He must be at the clinic. He must be severely punished for what he did. How dare him kick the ball straight to her bütt ?!" Yeon said as he turned back and started walking back to the clinic.

Christine scurried after him and got hold of his hand.

"Let him be Yeon. Those girls has really given him the beating of his life. You need to see how much injuries he got." He said, and Yeon scoffed.

"Oh! The injuries are much right?? I need to see for myself then." Yeon said and tried to force his hand off Christine's grip, but Christine tightened his grip on him.

"Come on, that's not what I mean... He must be feeling a lot of pain, and I know that he has realized his mistake. He won't do that again okay?? Please let him be and let's go." Christine said, and Yeon stopped struggling.

"That's okay. Let go of my hand now." He said, but Christine shook his head.

"I really won't go. Trust me." He said again and Christine eventually let go of his hand.

"So... how was your first lecture??" Yeon asked as they started walking back their hostel room.

"It was kind of boring." Christine replied and Yeon chuckled.

"That's how it feels when you don't want to be here." Yeon said, and Christine nodded.

"Which course are the 'S' stars studying??" He suddenly asked.

"Two courses precisely. Journalism & Mass Communication, and Music & theatre arts." Yeon replied, and Christine raised a brow.

"Two courses?? How come??" He asked, and Yeon smiled.

"It's possible for them. They're part-time students in Journalism and Mass Communication, and full-time students in Music & theatre arts." Yeon replied.

"Oh! Good for them." Christine said back, and they kept on chatting till they got to their room.

@THE 'S' STARS APARTMENT**

The four girls entered as they were just getting back from the music studio.

Stella dropped her bag on her bed, and headed straight to the washroom. Samantha jumped on her bed as she seemed really tired. Selena took a seat beside Samantha on her bed, with her phone glued to her hands.

"Sammie, look at this dress. It's cute right??" She asked, and Samantha stretched her hand forward to collect the phone from her. Selena gave her the phone, and she glanced at the picture.

"Wow! It's really beautiful! Come on make the order now." Samantha said as she sat up while giving the phone back to Selena.

"We should wear it to the concert to perform." Selena said as she clicked on 'order'. She made four orders.

Stella came out of the bathroom, and her eyes caught with Sophie, who was sitting quietly on her bed.

"What's the matter with you Sophie?? You've been quiet since we left the studio. Are you okay??" Stella asked, and the other two looked at Sophie.

"That's true. You've been really quiet. What's wrong??" Selena asked, and Sophie looked at them.

"I'm thinking of a way to get back at the guy." She said, and the trio shared a look.

"Which guy??" They asked at a time.

"The one that interfered when we were dealing with that idiot on the field." Sophie replied.

"Oh! That stickybeak!" Samantha said while rolling her eyes.

"He's the same guy that bumped into me in the morning." Sophie said.

"Maybe he likes you." Stella said as she laid down on her bed.

"At his own risk." Sophie said and brought out her phone.

"How many commercials do we have for this month??" Samantha asked.

"I think four." Selena replied, and Sophie nodded in agreement.

"We have one with Elle, one with Marie Claire, and two with Dazed." Sophie said.

"And I have a personal one with Calvin Klein." Stella said, and the trio looked at her.

"You later got the personal one??" Samantha asked, and Stella smiled.

"Yes. With the help of Mr Hwang." She replied, and Samantha rolled her eyes.

"I was supposed to get that." Samantha said, and Sophie shook her head.

"You're too covetous... we were all happy with you when you got the model contract from Chanel then. So why are you jealous of her??" Sophie asked, and Samantha sneered.

"As if she's better than me." Samantha muttered to herself and laid back on the bed.

"That's your problem. Accept it or not, she's already chosen for it." Sophie said, and her phone beeped, which got her full attention.

Selena didn't say a word as she kept on making orders of her needs. Stella on the other hand was busy chatting with her online friends.
