++++++++++++++++++++++
Donghae smacked Eunhyuk’s head, while Sungmin hid behind Heechul.
Eunhyuk nursed his aching head and glared at the one who hurt him, “WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR, HAE?!” The girl shouted back, “You’re overreacting! She doesn’t have a disease for you to act like that!!!” Eunhyuk raised the pregnancy test kit of Sungmin, “She’s pregnant, for God’s sake! Pregnant with her ex-boyfriend-slash-rapist! Of course I will get worried!!!”
Heechul then smacked the monkey’s head, “Donghae’s right, pabo! You, acting like you fainted or something is inappropriate for the situation!!! And don’t shout at a girl, especially my baby Hae!!!” Eunhyuk just frowned and threw glares at Donghae, who stuck her tongue out.
Donghae then went beside Sungmin and tapped her, “Yah, I’m really angry right now and I want to kill that asshole but before I commit a mortal sin, I want to know what you want to do.” Sungmin clutched her chest and looked at her best friend, “I… I won’t say a thing to him.”
Eunhyuk shouted again, earning a deathly glare from Heechul, “WHAT?! BUT HE’S THE FATHER OF THAT CHILD YOU ARE CARRYING AND HE HAS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OF YOU!!!”
To the three’s surprise, Sungmin’s scared and soft expression turned into an angry and fierce one; it had been years since they last saw that. “I want to take revenge. Chullie-oppa and Hae, I will now take your advice of me, changing my image.” Heechul smirked, Eunhyuk had his mouth hanging open, and Donghae frowned, “I don’t think that’s a good idea, Min.”
The red-haired guy slung an arm on Donghae’s neck, “Hae, Minnie is right. Since Kyuhyun played with her, he deserves to experience what he did to our girl. Just think, this would be the first time Min decided for herself. I thought you are mad at Kyuhyun?” Donghae shrugged, “Okay! This would be exciting! I will definitely help! Playboys should be given a lesson by letting them experience what they let their victims experience!” She looked back at the silent Eunhyuk, “What do you think, monkey?”
Eunhyuk smirked, “She’s the boss. If that’s what my Minnie wants… I’ll support her.” The oldest guy clapped, “Great!” He then dragged Sungmin out of the room, with Donghae and Eunhyuk following them.

Sungmin looks at her reflection on the mirror, sways her pink skirt and strokes her newly-dyed and curled raven hair, “Oppa, isn’t this… revealing?” Heechul nodded enthusiastically, “Yup! Your silky long legs will make that Kyuhyun go head over heels for you!” Donghae fixed her best friend’s bangs, “But you look so feminine now! This way, no one would think of you as a slut, but damn, you’re cute and sexy at the same time! I envy you, Minnie~!!!”
Sungmin blushed with that, “But…” Eunhyuk entered the room with Yesung, and Donghae laughed hard with the two’s reaction as they saw the transformation of Sungmin, especially Yesung’s. Sungmin’s oppa hugged her, “Wow! My sister is so beautiful! It really runs in the blood!!!” And he earned a snort from Donghae.
Heechul snapped his fingers in front of Yesung’s face, startling the guy, “What, hyung?” The other bluntly commented with a smirk, “Enchanted with Minnie’s beauty?” Yesung blushed and smiled sweetly, “She’s really beautiful to start off.”
Donghae giddily shouted, “YEMIN!” The others looked at her strangely, so she explained, “Yesung-Sungmin… YeMin! It’s a good name, right? I’m now a YeMin shipper!” Sungmin grinned and decided to tease to hide her blush, “Like EunHae?” Eunhyuk interrupted by pulling his sister to Yesung, “Come here, Minnie!!!”
He slung Sungmin’s arm to Yesung’s arm and pushed the two out of the room while happily saying, “Take care of my Minnie, Yesung-hyung!!! I entrust you to her and I’m a YeMin shipper too!!!”
After the two got out, Eunhyuk grinned to himself, then noticed Heechul’s and Donghae’s smirks, “You know, if only I didn’t know that Heechul-hyung is a Kim and Hae is a Lee, I would have mistaken you two as siblings.”
Donghae shrugged as she makes her way out of the room, “It’s better than to be called your sister.” Heechul then whispered to Eunhyuk with his arms crossed, “It’s because she wants to be called your girlfriend.”
Eunhyuk glared, “Hyung…”
Heechul smiled sheepishly, “I’m a EunHae shipper.”

Yesung doesn’t know what to do; Sungmin is still clinging on to him, and she was extremely beautiful like a goddess right now. “Uh, Min, your oppa isn’t around… you can let go now.” The girl pouted cutely at her that made him want to kiss those lips, “You don’t want me with you?” He smiled sheepishly, “No! No! Of course not! I just thought that…”
She then spoke seriously, “Are you thinking that I’m just using you to forget Kyuhyun?” Yesung paused because he was thinking the same way. Sensing the guy’s silence, she sighed and looked at him sincerely, “Please don’t think like that, oppa. I know your feelings for me and all… just give me more time.” Yesung chuckled, “I have been giving you time for five years now, Min… and I’m willing to extend it longer.”
He felt her arms move away, but it was then placed around his waist, along with her other arm, and she was now hugging him, her face buried on his chest, “Thank you, oppa.” Yesung unconsciously kissed her forehead and little did he know, Sungmin blushed and her heart skipped a beat.

Everyone was staring at her as she and Yesung were walking at the university. Some had that admiring look, while others started gossiping about the two. Because of those, Sungmin tightened her hold on Yesung’s arm to tell him that she’s feeling nervous. Using his free hand, the guy held Sungmin’s cold hands and smiled reassuringly to her, and it made her feel more encouraged.
All eyes are still on them since it was Yesung who brought Sungmin to her room. She hates this subject. Actually, not because of the lessons, but the reason is Cho Kyuhyun. This was the only subject that she is not classmates with Donghae and Kibum, but with Kyuhyun. The worst part is, they are seatmates.
When she entered the noisy room, all of the students there fell quiet and gaped at her. As she walks to her seat she could hear her classmates comment, “Who is she? I never have seen her before.” “Pabo! That’s Lee Sungmin!” “Lee Sungmin?! Wait, the girl with the glasses?! Omo, surgery can really do wonders!”
She was taking a deep breath to calm herself and prevent her from using her martial arts skills to erase those grins on their faces. However, a certain deep voice made her irate, “Hey, new student? Sorry, but someone occupies that seat already.”
She thought to herself before starting her mission, fighting, Lee Sungmin! You can do this! Show Kyuhyun what you got and make him regret that he hurt you!!!
She faced him with a grimaced look, “Sorry?” The handsome guy was taken aback with that and had his eyes opened widely, “Su…Sung…min? Is that you, Sungmin?” She smirked and looked straight to the front, ignoring the guy.
Kyuhyun was speechless; he can’t clearly remember what she looks like without her glasses on because of the darkness in the room. All he could remember were her pretty eyes looking lovingly at him. But now that she is here in front of him, completely free from those nerdy stuffs, he thought that she looks… dashing.
During the whole period, Sungmin can feel Kyuhyun’s stares but she chose to ignore it. She won’t fall for his trap again, now that she had learnt her lesson. She already started this. There’s no turning back. She despises this man so much that she woke up that bitchy side of hers, which was sleeping for five years, also because of him. Why is destiny so cruel?
Her first love, first boyfriend, first experience and first heartbreak… is the one who almost raped her and is now the father of the child she is carrying.
After class, she hastily grabbed her things and rushed outside the room. The gossips about her kills her.
But when she was at the lobby, she bumped by Seohyun. Then, Seohyun raised Sungmin’s chin to face her and examined the latter’s face, “How much does plastic surgery cost?” Sungmin grinned smugly to the girl, “I don’t know. Why ask me? Am I a dermatologist or something? Are you that desperate that you even wanted to repair your face?” Seohyun flared up and dug her long nails to Sungmin’s soft skin, “You bitch!” However, Kyuhyun pulled her away from Sungmin, while Kibum came on time to shield Sungmin.
Seohyun struggled from Kyuhyun’s grip and angrily shouted at him, “Why, Kyuhyun?! Just because she’s now beautiful, you’re protecting her?!” The guy scratched his head, pissed at the girl, “That’s not it, Seohyun! Don’t start a scandal here!”
To everyone’s surprise, Sungmin spoke in a strong voice, “Seohyun-sshi, I’m not doing anything bad to you… unlike you. Can you just leave me alone? You and Kyuhyun-sshi?” Kyuhyun somehow winced at the honorific since he is used to him being called by her as ‘Kyu’.
She turned around to go, but Kyuhyun was fast and managed to hold her arm, “Wait, Sungmin.” She snapped her head at him with a pissed look, her forehead creasing, “What, Cho?!” She swatted his hand away from her arm rather harshly, then crossed her arms in front of her chest, “Don’t you ever think that I did this to get you again. The HELL will I do that!”
She walked away like a ramp model, with the people listening to their conversation voluntarily made way for her and just stare at her with awe. No one had ever done that to Cho Kyuhyun… NO ONE.
Kyuhyun smirked and thought, “You want games? Fine. I’ll play your ‘being-hard-to-get’ game and I’ll make sure that I will win. I’m a certified gamer and no one can beat me when it comes to Love Games. You can’t win against me, Lee Sungmin.”
………………………
Kibum stopped Sungmin from walking by grabbing her arm and make her face him, “What’s this, Sungmin? What’s with the transformation?” She raised an eyebrow, “Why, don’t I look good, Kibum?” The guy sighed and placed a hand on his nape, “You do look good, but…”
Sungmin cut him with a smirk, “This is what you call Sweet Revenge, Kibum… Sweet Revenge. He loves games, I also love games. He’ll play mine, I’ll also play his. The first one who gives in, loses… and that won’t be me.”
