Chapter 236 - Solving this

Staring at Han Taehyun and Ahn Chaewon in front of her, Jinhee questioned, "Are you sure you have no problem with helping out?"

The three of them stood at one of the isolated corners of their school's building. Min Hyunbin had returned home, and for the plan to go smoothly, Jinhee could not let anything to be known by him.

Chaewon nodded and smiled at Jinhee. She then vocalised, "After all that I owe you, this is the rare chance I am getting to help you."

These few weeks, Jinhee helped Chaewon against getting bullied and stood up for her whenever she needed it. Although a part of her felt sour towards Jinhee for having Jaehyun's heart, the bigger part of her was grateful towards Jinhee.

Maybe that was why Jinhee was liked by Jaehyun. Chaewon somewhat felt inferior to Jinhee. Nevertheless, she was well aware that she could not be someone like Jinhee regardless of how much she wished for it.

Rubbing the back of her head, Jinhee said, "You don't have to feel like as if you owe me. I did all those because you're my friend."

Ahn Chaewon nodded.

"About the plan, there is going to be a CCTV footage of what happened in the teacher's office the other day. Taehyun and I will be responsible for distracting the ones monitoring the footage.

Within the amount of time you get, copy that footage into your device. Chaewon, since you're best among us in this department, I will be leaving you up to it. 

Since there is someone powerful present behind this, we can not directly ask them for it or else I am afraid they will tamper with the footage," Jinhee voiced out.

The two in front of her nodded.

"Let's do this then!" Jinhee voiced out whilst wearing a wide smile upon her face. Although certain amount of nervousness was present within her, looking at Han Taehyun's face calmed her down considerably.

"Sorry, Taehyun-ah," Jinhee mumbled before hesitantly moving her hand to punch Taehyun's cheek.

Before her fist could come in contact with Taehyun's cheek, Jinhee closed her eyes tightly and pulled her hand back. She couldn't do it. Although it was for the sake of their plan to succeed, Jinhee did not have the courage to punch Han Taehyun.

Smiling towards Jinhee, Han Taehyun voiced out, "Jinhee, it's okay. I wouldn't hate you for getting punched."

Jinhee let out a groan. Although Jinhee had imagine beating up Han Taehyun in her mind multiple number of times, when it came to the reality, she lacked in strength.

Letting out a sigh, Jinhee said, "I can't do it. You beat me up instead. That sounds better."

Extending his hand towards Jinhee, Taehyun pinched her cheeks and vocalised, "Aigoo! Jinhee-ah! It is nice to have you care for me, but you can't expect me to hit you. It is not gentlemanly of me to do so."

Lee Jinhee and Han Taehyun stood slightly away from the security's office, where the CCTV footages are looked through and stored at. Meanwhile, Ahn Chaewon ran towards the security room in order to call all of them present there.

"It's not that I care for you; It is merely that I am not able to punch anyone without a reason. Even if the person standing in front of me was someone else, I wouldn't—"

Before Jinhee could continue, Han Taehyun brought his face closer to Jinhee, and Jinhee felt her heart beating rapidly at the proximity. What was Han Taehyun trying to do at such a serious situation?

"Yah! Taehyun, what are you trying to—"

Taehyun placed his index finger on top of Jinhee's lips, making her unable to speak further, and vocalised, "Jinhee-ah, there is this question I always wondered about. Which part of yours tastes the best?"

Those words of Han Taehyun made Lee Jinhee widen her eyes, and she stumbled as she took a step back. Her cheeks were burning up at this point, and her head was unable to comprehend the situation properly.

Taehyun's deep voice made Jinhee's heart skip a beat as she managed to speak out, "W-What?"

"Jinhee-ah, if you are clueless regarding the answer, then I can taste you from top to bottom to determine the answer," Taehyun voiced out.

Jinhee blinked her eyes multiple times as she curled her toes. Taehyun's words made sinful thoughts roam inside Jinhee's mind, and she was desperate to remove those type of thoughts from her mind.

That's when it hit Jinhee. She had to save Min Hyunbin, and noticing the smirk on Taehyun's face, Jinhee grew annoyed. How could be in the mood to joke at such a situation?

Extending his hands towards Jinhee, Taehyun gripped her face and was about to place his lips on top Jinhee. Completely irked at this point, Jinhee kicked on Han Taehyun's leg with her utmost strength.

Han Taehyun let out a loud scream of pain and holding his knee he fell back on the ground. Tears formed on the corner of his eyes whilst he raised his head to look towards Jinhee.

Noticing the tears in Taehyun's eyes, Jinhee was confused for a moment before it hit her. Taehyun was most probably trying to irritate her purposely, so that she would attack him.

Hearing the footsteps, Jinhee had already guessed that they were ones in charge of the CCTV footage, and using her best acting skills, Jinhee glared at Taehyun whilst tears fell down her eyes.

"How, Taehee, how? How could you do such a thing to me? You know how much I like him yet you tried to make him hate me. What did I do to deserve this, Taehee? I thought we were real friends," Jinhee vocalised.

Wiping the tears from her eyes, Han Taehyun stood up straight and scoffed at Jinhee. Wearing condescending look on his face, Taehyun voiced out, "Be friends with you? Heol! Did you look at yourself in the mirror? Who would want to be friends with someone like you? You're fat, ugly, and an idiot!"

Judging by how realistic Taehyun sounded, Jinhee might have actually believed his words if she did not know all this was a plan. Taehyun truly was good when it came to acting.

"Yah! Han Taehee, what did you just say!?"

Raising her first, Jinhee was about to punch him when one of the man ran towards her and held her back. Seeing that Jinhee was about to attack him, Taehyun pretended to get anger and was about to slap Jinhee.

Although the men were scared of stopping Han Taehyun, they were well aware that they needed to stop it before it spread through the entire school. If the matter today revealed, they could potentially lose their jobs.

The other man ran towards Taehyun, and before Taehyun could strike Jinhee, the man stood in front of Taehyun. Therefore, instead of Jinhee receiving the slap, it was the other man who became its victim.

Although Jinhee felt slight amount guilt towards the man who got slapped, Jinhee knew that this had to be done.

As his body visibly shook, the man, who got slapped, vocalised, "Calm down, two of you. Let's resolve this matter outside."

"There is nothing about solving this matter outside! Let me punch that Han Taehee one time, and I'll be satisfied. How dare she say such words to me!?" Jinhee exclaimed.

"How dare I?" Taehyun scoffed before saying, "Yah!? Lee Jinhee, did you look at yourself!? How do you even think you deserve to be my friend!?"
