Chapter 109 - Squirrel (2/2)
Moving her hand, Taehee slapped Jinhee's palm, which was raised, with hers, creating a loud noise. Taking her hand down immediately, Jinhee saw her palm reddening.
"Yah! Han Taehee!" Jinhee exclaimed. A burning pain went through her palm, and she glared towards Taehee. That girl purposely used so much force!
"Sorry, sometimes I forget that you're a weakling," Taehee vocalised whilst wearing an apologetic expression.
Nonetheless, Jinhee knew that Taehee was simply mocking her, and being the mature teen she was, Jinhee decided to ignore Taehee instead of retorting back.

It was Jinhee's turn to sing after Min Hyunbin's, according to Han Taehee, and the song chosen for her was not an unknown song to her luckily. It was Bad Boy by IRA— a song she listened to couple of times when she was at middle school.
No matter how much Jinhee was confident about the song, facing the four of them made Jinhee felt nervous and awkward. Staring at the screen in beside of her sideways, Jinhee saw the lyrics starting to appear.
Gulping, she mustered up a little courage and sang, "Look at him walking, showing off that arrogance. He's the kind of man—"
"Sing loudly, you old lady! At least during my time, you could hear me!" Hyunbin commented as he wore a smirk on his face.
"During this Hyunbin's time, he sang louder than necessary, and now this Jinhee's voice barely comes out of her throat," Taehee voiced out, "It would be superb if you can teach each other."
Ignoring the comments she received, in a louder tone, she continued, "Oh! Your eyes hold that temptation— temptation that I can't resist. I feel like I'm on fire."

"Confirmed, Jinhee-ah," Taehee commented, "You look like a squirrel even when you sing."
"You sound like a squirrel as well!" Hyunbin added, earning a chuckle from Taehee.
In Jinhee's opinion, she had no time to deal with kids, and putting down the microphone on the table, she walked towards her seat.
"You have done really good," Jaehyun commented.
"Yeah, it was nice to hear," Chaewon voiced out.
"Thanks." Jinhee smiled at the two. At least there were some who did not make fun of her.
