Chapter 228 - Baekha's Plan (8)
Sera was quite nervous. She sat on a bench, trembling while Miho was confident. That night, they received an email from Minyoon's agency about the contest. Initially, Sera thought it was a joke so she called up Miho and to her surprise, the latter got the letter too. Miho confirmed to her that the email was from Minyoon's agency and they had been selected indeed.
Miho could have lied to her but she chose not to do so. After all, she needed a minion for the contest who would help her win.
But now, she was cursing her luck. It turned out that only two people received the message!
Damn it! She cursed inwardly. Why did this fatty get an invitation?
She eyed Sera, hiding her disdain for the girl. If she was not a useful spy, Miho would not have paid any attention to her. Annoying as she might be, Sera was handy in keeping an eye on Minyoon via Soobin but she had lost that connection so Miho wanted to get rid of her.
"How long do you think we'll have to wait here?" Sera asked her. "They've made us wait for hours."
"I don't know," Miho said in a cool tone. "The staff said they'll come soon."
"Are you sure the emails were from Minyoon's agency?"
"Honey, this is Minyoon's agency."
Sera was not so sure but if Miho said it, the information must be right. After all, she was Minyoon's biggest fan. She waited in the room where they were kept. The door opened and a staff member came in whom Sera recognized as Minyoon's manager, Chanhyuk.
"Hello ladies!" he exclaimed. "Sorry to keep you waiting."
He stood before them, beaming. Sera and Miho smiled at him.
"What are we going to do?" Miho asked. "Is this going to be a contest?"
"Yep," Chanhyuk said. He motioned them to follow him. Miho instantly went with him while Sera was apprehensive but followed them anyway. Chanhyuk led them to a large room which was empty except for a pair of paint guns and a conveyor belt.
"Your task," Chanhyuk began. "Is to shoot the moving targets. You'll stand on these sensors…"
He pointed at a couple of sensors on the floor. "And your scores will be counted on that scoreboard."
The roof opened and a scoreboard descended from the sky. There were no names written on them but simply player one and player two.
"Whoever scores the highest, wins the game and date!" Chanhyuk said. "I'll be off now. There are no cameras here because Minyoon trusts that his fans will be honest! I'll come back after thirty minutes. You will start as soon as the buzzer goes off."
He nodded at them and left. Miho stepped on the sensor and picked up a gun. Sera was still skeptical but mimicked Miho's movements.
"Best of luck!" Sera wished Miho but the latter ignored her. She needed to win this contest in order to get her dream date with Minyoon. Sera's smile faltered and she looked away, confused. The buzzer rang and the conveyor belt began to move.
Miho aimed at a target and shot at it but missed. Sera shot down the target and was already shooting down a few more. She was a very good marksman. In fact, she was in the archery club where she could take down several such targets so it was easy for her.
On the other hand, Miho was struggling a lot. The targets moved too quickly and she could not aim at them. She was getting more desperate. Glancing at the scoreboard, she groaned. Sera already crossed 100 while she was at 20!
Fuck, I'm gonna lose! She thought in dismay. In desperation, she tried to hit more targets but it was impossible. Refilling her gun, she shot several shots but was missing every single one of them. Beside her, Sera was hitting every target with ease and crossed 200.
Finally, there was only five minutes left and Miho was desperate. There were no cameras in the room…
"Switch with me!" Miho demanded. Sera paused and turned to her.
"Huh? Why?" she frowned.
"You know that I want to date Minyoon!" Miho claimed. "Switch with me. You don't even like Minyoon. You like Yoonmin, right? If I get to date Minyoon, I'll make sure that Yoonmin will break up with Soobin and date you!"
Sera was now defensive. She liked Yoonmin but she wanted to win this contest on her own terms. Besides, one date with Minyoon did not mean anything to her. She just wanted to meet Yoonmin under some pretense.
"No," Sera replied. "I want to win this contest. I'm not gonna switch."
Miho glared at her. This fat minion was going to defy her orders?
"Give me my spot!" she yelled, shocking Sera. Was this really the sweet and angelic Miho? Why was she shouting like this?
"No! If you want the date, just win on your own!"
Miho growled and stepped forward to push Sera as hard as she could. Sera toppled backwards, landing on her butt while Miho forcefully took her place on the sensor.
"This is my spot now!" she snapped. "Go to that spot and don't shoot anything!"
She expected Sera to obey but to her surprise, Sera got up and pushed her away. Before Miho could even react, Sera shot at her with the paintball gun and smeared paint all over her expensive Chanel dress.
"My dress!" Miho cried, staring at the large paint stain on her dress. "My Chanel dress!"
"Serves you right for being a bitch!" Sera sneered at her. "After all I did for you, you're treating me this way? I won't stand up for it!"
"What the hell did you do for me?" Sera screamed at her. "You couldn't even arrange a date between me and Minyoon! Your job was simple that day. Make sure that Minyoon was alone so that I could spend time with him at the coffee shop. But you couldn't do that and Baekha ruined my plans!"
She picked up her own gun and shot pain all over Sera.
"Ugh!" Sera yelled as the paint covered her dress and skin but Miho was enraged. She kept on shooting at her as if she wanted to kill her!
Sera kicked her foot, causing Miho to lose her balance and fall.
"What about you, huh?" Sera snarled. "You wanted revenge on Baekha so badly that you made me trick her into undressing her and steal her clothes!"
She shot paint at Miho to ward her off. They were both smeared with paint now, their dresses ruined.
"At least I didn't betray a friend, you fucking fatty!" Miho cried out loud. She lunged forward and tackled Sera to the ground. Before Sera could react, Miho slapped her hard.
"You put that sticky goo in Soobin's locker!" she revealed. "You wanted revenge on your 'friend' for stealing your crush! You were so adamant on getting revenge that you forgot this was the same person who once defended you in front of the entire school! No one cared about you until Soobin came along. You were an unwanted outcast. That day, I only let you sit with us because of Soobin! I wanted her to join my gang but she refused."
She hit Sera several times. Sera was too shocked to react. Miho was being friendly only to get to Soobin?
Miho grabbed Sera's collar and snarled, "I thought you'd be a mute minion but you're the worst! A fat bitch who has no shame. I don't want to see you anymore! That high score is mine! Stay away otherwise I'll make your life in school a miserable one!"
She was about to hit her more when someone grabbed her wrist from behind. Chanhyuk, who was watching the whole thing from a secret camera, quickly rushed to the scene to stop the crazy girls.
To Miho's shock, behind him were several cameramen.
"W-what is the meaning of this?" she yelled. "You said there were no cameras!"
"This is a prank program," Chanhyuk revealed. "In association with HTV's 'Prank or Pawned' program! Every week, two people are chosen to play pranks on. This time, Minyoon submitted your names because he wanted to see if you two had bullied his friends. And now…"
He pointed at the cameras. "The entire world has seen your ugly side," he declared.
Back in the studio, all the fans stared at the screen in shock. The confessions of the girls had enraged them. To think that they were trying to bully people in their school and also forcefully arranged a date with Minyoon!
Minyoon was also disgusted by the two girls who had done so much harm to his friends. He did not think that Miho and Sera would be stupid enough to admit their deeds like this but Baekha read them well. She knew that these two would turn on each other during a distressing moment. The girl must have researched on their weaknesses and planned this move.
"Now I owe her way too much," he muttered with a smile.
Among the audience, Soobin was crying while Yoonmin consoled her. In her heart, Soobin knew that Sera did this but to hear her confession like that…
"You were right," she said in a thick tone, choking back her tears. "She isn't worth having as a friend!"
Yoonmin shushed her and embraced his girlfriend as she broke down.
Inside the vanity room, Jina and Hobin were also watching the program. While the actions of the girls were shocking, Jina merely frowned while Hobin was a little amused.
"Teenagers nowadays are so weird!" she scowled. "What's the point in doing this crappy stuff? And now Sera lost her dignity in front of the entire world! What the hell did she even gain from all this?"
"At least she learnt not to bully others," Hobin remarked. "I hope."
"No bully!" Miyoo exclaimed.
"Do you even know what the word means?" he asked warily.
"No!" the child replied, shaking her head. "Minmin best! Yoonie best! Sis best! Hobin silly!"
She laughed at her own joke while Hobin scowled at her. Jina also laughed and patted his head.
"I think I enjoy Miyoo bullying you," she winked.
Hobin wrapped his hand around her and whispered into her ear, "And only I can bully you!"
