━ { in the same place
"I seriously hate core classes." Areum graoned as a new week began, the schedule switching as the year began coming to an end. Third and First years having core clsses, Yumi, Areum and Jinhee in their school uniforms as the other three, exhausted, sprawled out on the table as they were released for lunch. Dance with Kahi was the worst, Eunjeong and Nell only experiencing her due to Hyoyeon was out for the day which meant the Advance Teacher combined the classes. Which had led to the three being exhausted over just Lauren.
"Kahi is a GOD." Nell groaned as everyone nodde in agreement, the six began eating their food as BTS joined them at their normal table. Namjoon, Yoongi, Hoseok and Jungkook as exhausted as the three. Yoongi sitting next to Yumi whom only pouted as he put his head on the table. Namjoon gripped his hair tryinging to catch his breath, Hoseok and Jungkook tlking with Lauren about the new routine.
"Where's Jin oppa?" Areum asked, not seeing the pink lover, the boys shrugged in unison.
"Probably fixing his hair." Jimin said, he returned to eating.
The two groups sitting together seemed to become a normal everyday thing at school, Taehyun would try to make Jinhee laugh only to recieve a glare, Jimin, Hoseok and Jungkook always discussing dance with Areum and Lauren, Yumi and Yoongi in their own little world. Namjoon and Eunjeong going over lyrics and compistions, him teaching her all he knows, Nell and Jin quickly became friends with their parent-like antics. The school knew never to try and include themselves into whatever the two groups had, so when someone walks over to their table everyone froze. Areum choked on her water as Yumi hit Yoongi in shock, Nell pinched her arm, as Eunjeong sent a glare then poked Lauren in the side to get her attention, Jinhee threw a pen at the Australian as the boys greeted him with bows.
"Ow! Jeez." Lauren groaned hitting Eunjeong in the arm then followed her line of sight, she visibily swallowed whatever snarky comment she had for the artist.
"Um, can I talk to you?" He said, scratching the back of his neckkeeping his eyes on Lauren, whom nodded then walked away from the table as Hansol sat his tray down next to Jinhee.
"Wait. Are Mark and Lauren a thing now? He asked Jinhee whom glared at him before the girls threw napkins at him to be quiet, they all turned to watch them walk outside.
"Uh, you guys did great." He stated as they walked in the small hallway that lead outside, his hands in his jogger pockets, as Lauren realized she was sweaty and digusting, a face of disgust as she closed her eyes. Forgetting there was a door infront of her she ran right into it, Mark grabbing her arm as she rubbed her forehead a sloppy smile on his face as she cursed under her breath.
"You okay?" He asked, removing her hand to look at her forehead, her face heating up as she watched him.
"Yeah." She croaked out, they looked away in embrassment as they walked outside.
"Uh, I was wondering if you could check out some of our choreography, Yugyeom trusts your judgement." He said, Lauren nooded he threw her a smile before leading her to the studio they were practicing in.
Areum looked around the library from where she sat, to see if she could spot Jihoon anywhere. With no luck she sighed and pulled out her notebooks hoping it was like catnip to him and he would randomly appear from under the table. She even wore her hair down for the first time in forever, got teased by Yumi and Nell, and he had the decency to stand her up. Areum pulled out a hair tie, pulling her hair into a ponytail in annoyance. As she left the library as it was closing she felt bitter, clenching her fist.
"Woah. Woah." Jaehyuk said, as she stormed towards him shocked to see the girl as he hasn't seen her in person the past week. "You okay?" He asked, leaning against the wall next to her.
"Feelings are stupid." She spat, Jaehyuk looked at her wide-eyed as she glared at an innocent piece of graffitti.
"Maybe something came up." Jaehyuk said, attempting to calm her dow. "Like maybe he got sick, or something bad happened to him or his parents. For once in your life Areum, think." Jaehyuk begged, Areum visaully calmed down.
"Fine. But he is dead if he stood me up by choice." She growled, Jaehyuk put his arms up in surrender.
Her phone cutting off anything he was going to say, as the screen flashed JIHOON.
"Hello?"
"Areum, I'm so sorry. I got caught up in a writing session with the boys." He apologized, she felt her heart soften as he sounded frantic.
"It's okay. I stood you up on multiple occasions because of practice."
"I will make it up to you, since finals and evaluations are coming up, tomorrow during lunch we can pack in a quick study session." Areum turned her back to Jaehyuk so she didn't have to look at the smirk on his face.
"Okay, thank you." She said, hanging up then showing her middle finger to Jaehyuk whom wore a proud smile.
