The rain started pouring down outside.
The cold wind slipped through the window's class, hitting my skin.
It's been a week since the last time Yunhyeong and Junhoe approached me.
They never greet me ever again after that uncomfortable incident.

"Ah Ra! Are you oka-"

Another voice appeared behind me which was echoed around the quite hall.
I brushed off Junhoe's hands of me in reflect and quickly turned my attention to the owner of the voice.

"Uh-oh,.. Sorry for bothering you two"
Yunhyeong bowed apologetically.

"I'm okay! Thanks for your concern" i smiled awkwardly before i left both Yunhyeong and Junhoe.

I don't think i did something wrong back then. 
Ugh. Why should i care anyway?
However, i can't lie to myself that i miss Yunhyeong.
I can only stare at him from where i sit and everytime our eyes met, he will flash a smile. That's just it.
The situation got a lot better since then.
My classmate started talking with me again.
Even it's not as nice as it used to be, but at least they do.

I buried my face on my folded arms, thinking i should be happy and grateful about everything.

Have nothing to do, i decided to go out of my classroom alone while squeezing my freezing hand.
Today's weather isn't really nice, just like what i feel right now.
I don't even know what am i doing at this hour outside my classroom.

I sat on an empty seat near Hyemin's classroom. 
I couldn't figure out what i really want.
People come and go.
That's the way it is.
Yunhyeong appeared just to make my life a lil bit exciting, not to mention Junhoe.
It doesn't last long, of course. 

I sighed.

 

"Hey, you're here alone?"

I looked up and found someone i don't really know standing in front of me. 
He has small cute eyes also a mole shaped like a heart under his right eye and messy brown hair. He brought 2 cup of hot drinks with him.

"Ah,.. Yes..." I replied awkwardly.

He later sat next to me, offering a cup of hot drink he held on his right hand.

"Ah.. You must be a lil bit confused right now. I'm Jinhwan. Yunhyeong's and Junhoe's friend. You know them, right?" He smiled softly. 
His voice was gentle, yet, sweetly sore?
Great, another angel. Am i in heaven?

"Yeah, i know them. Thanks for the.... Tea? Coffee?" I raised my eyebrows, examining the hot drink he gave me.

"It's a tea. Go drink it" 

"Thank you......" I said before sipped the hot tea slowly.
This kind of drink match the weather so well. I feel a lot better.

"So... How did you become close with Yunhyeong and Junhoe?" He asked with eyes focused on me.

"Ah.. We're not really close tho. It's a lil bit complicated, but i'll tell you. Junhoe is being a typical Junhoe, you know... Um, playboy. He asked me to go on a date with him and when i went to the place he told me, he wasn't there so i left and met Yunhyeong on the way. What a coincidence, right?"
I explained long enough to make people sleep. But suprisingly, Jinhwan listens to every words i said. He is such a good listener.

"Woah.... So that's why the rumour..." He paused for awhile, thinking the right words to say, i think?

"It must be tough for you to face their haters despite of it's your first time face that kind of situation, am i correct?" 

"Yes... It's tough. Their fans fed me with words '', '' and all. I couldn't help but cry. It's terrible" 

I could see his sympathy eyes from the corner of my eyes. He pat my back gently.
He is really nice even toward someone he barely knows.

I started open-up about my problem to Jinhwan. I have never been this open before, but i have a good feeling about him cause whenever i see him, he reminds me of Yunhyeong. Both are angels.
When we were busy talking to each other, Yunhyeong walked pass us.
Jinhwan called him which made him turned his head.

"Oh, ah.. Jinhwan hyung! Ah Ra!" He approached us as soon as he saw us. His lips formed into a bright smile. I couldn't help but smile as well.

"What are you guys doing, eh? Planning for a date??" 
My smile fell in a split second, being greeted by something i don't like to hear. Gladly, i managed to cover it with an awkward smile. 
Jinhwan seems understand the situation as he denied it right away.

"Eyy. No.. We just have a little talk while waiting for the rain to stop"

"But you guys match each other! Both are cuties" Yunhyeong said cheekily. 
This time, me and Jinhwan just laughed it off. I do feel upset. 
He paired me with someone else, not knowing he's the one i have interest with.
There were a couple of silence after Yunhyeong's annoying tease.

"Anyway, there will be an event in this school tomorrow. It supposed to be our school's anniversary, i think? Shouldn't you guys decorate your class?" Jinhwan broke the silence.

"Ah, yes... I almost forgot... Come on Ah Ra, let's decorate our class!"
Yunhyeong took my hand as he brought me with him to the class, leaving Jinhwan.
I never get enough of his hand, it's soft compared to mine lol.

Yunhyeong was full of spirit as he accidentally pushed the class' door too hard which caught much attention.
Our whole classmates stared at us.
At our locked hands to be exact.
Yunhyeong quickly dropped my hand harshly like it was a mistake to held my hand. Like i have such a dirty hand.
I stared at him confusedly but he just turned his head away, avoiding eye-contact.
It hurts to be honest.
How could someone change so fast like that? I thought he was an angel.

I don't want to think further about it cause i don't really wanna cry right now.
I shrugged it off and continue what i was going to do. Yep, decorating.

❇×⚜×❇

After the last bell rang, i just wandered around the school building without any destination.
Actually i was waiting for Hyemin who has something urgent to do.
The rain already stopped and the school was pretty empty which i enjoyed so much.
I could do whatever i want to.

I was looking at lower level of the building with my arms folded against the balcony railing, when suddenly someone put one arm each on both right and left sides of my folded arms from behind, locking me.

"Hey.. Have you think about our next date?"

Those words hit me hard as i realized who would say that kind of thing.
He even rested his chin on my shoulder.
I quickly turned around and push him.

"What do you think you're doing?" I asked, pretty unamused. 
I don't know if i like it or hate it cause my cheeks burnt like hell when he did that.
He stared at me with playful smirk plastered on his lips. 
. Is he going to tease my red-face!?

"Stop staring!" I squealed before i hit his arm.

"What can i do then? It's been a week since we didn't talk to each other. Don't you miss me? I miss you. I even broke the rule for you" he whined like a lil kid.
But, somehow, that "rule" he mentioned caught my attention.

"What rule?"

When he was about to answer my question, Hyemin appeared out of nowhere.
She seems a lil bit shock when she saw me and Junhoe were really close to each other since he didn't back away that far after i pushed him.
I ran to her and quickly dragged her out of that place. I'm pretty sure she will ask a lot of questions later.

-

On the way to our house, Hyemin kept asking about Junhoe.
She was really excited when she did so. And one of her question caught me off guard.

"Did you guys make out or something before i appeared?" 

My eyes widen soon as i heard that question.
I shook both my head and my hands eagerly.

"No, we didn't! Why did you ask such a thing!?"

"It's kinda obvious how you're like an inch away from him" she replied while tapping her chin with her index finger.

I covered my face out of embarrassment as i recalled the event.
That words "i miss you"  kept lingering inside my head.
I assume i really need to sleep. My mind driving me nuts!

❇×⚜×❇

Today is d-day.
The long-awaited anniversary event is finally come.
I dressed up neatly as i wore soft pink blouse with pretty ribbon around the collar, denim skirt upright my knees and a pair of sneakers.
Hyemin couldn't stop saying that the reason behind i'm being like this is because of Junhoe.
She has been teasing me about him since last night fml.

"Junhoe won't see you attractive anyway. You look like a dirty bithy rat HAHAHHA" she laughed over her own joke.

I glared at her. Her laugh fainted as my glare getting stronger. She grinned nervously before she took her bag and left.

❇×⚜×❇

We finally arrived at this glorious school.
Today's weather is really nice, totally different from yesterday.
That's one of the reason behind my bright smile.
I could see the staff and some of the students council were still working on the decoration of the school.
Colourful balloons everywhere. 
The students look like namshin and yeoshin, even the teachers look so good.

We took a sit on the bench near the school field, waiting for the event to be fully open.
We were busy talking about the event until something caught my eyes.

It's Yunhyeong.

I don't know if it just me or anyone else could see it too, but, he is glowing among the crowd. I even blinked my eyes a couple of times because of that.
He looks attractive as ever with that white-cream turtle neck shirt and baby-blue blazer outside it. He also styled his hair differently this time.
He was talking with his friends and everytime he smiles... The whole world lighten up.
Correction, my whole world lighten up.
What he did to me yesterday fainted on my memory immediately.
This is illegal. Wtf Ah Ra!?

I kept staring at his perfect figure, eventually ignore Hyemin who is talking a lot right now.
And just then, he stared back at me.
I was flustered and quickly turned my head away.

The MC disturbed my moment as he announced at the opening ceremony will be held in the main hall and told the students to go there immediately.
So we did.

-

The opening ceremony was great. The audiences were cheering loud and shouting "happy birthday" at the same time.
All of us went outside to flew the balloons that were provided by the students council up to the sky.
Yeah, everything was great until the time when i entered my class.

I think i came in last cause all of my classmates were in steady position to take a picture together. Yunhyeong was there too.
The one who held the camera is someone from the other class. He eyeing me for awhile.

"Ah Ra, why don't you join them? You guys are classmate, right?"

I nod my head and made my way to the empty spot besides one of my classmates.
I smiled brightly but the atmosphere turned out bad.

"What are you doing?? Just because he told you to join us that doesn't mean we agree about it. Go away!"

"We didn't say is allowed duh"

I froze. I totally froze at the sudden hurtful words. 
My eyes began teary, i ran out of the class before the tears streaming down on my cheeks.
I'm so hurt. Really in hurt.
The day i've been looking forward...
The smiles i've been sending to everyone...
Everything was ruined.
I thought my problem was over.
But they still treat me like a garbage.
Oh, maybe that's why Yunhyeong dropped my hand harshly last time. Haha.
I really am a garbage.

I stopped for a second to catch my breath.
I'm sobbing real hard right now.
Doesn't matter how many times i try to wipe my tears off, it won't stop coming.

 

"Ah Ra......"

 

I heard someone calling my name weakly.
I just couldn't bring myself to turned my head. 
But, then my hand was being pulled and in a flash of second i already in someone's embrace.
I recognized the smell of this body as i slowly open my eyes.
Baby-blue blazer greeted me which i know who it belongs to.

"Ah, it's you..... Yunhyeong......"

I whispered carefully. 
Magically, the tears were no longer streaming down on my cheeks.
He broke the hug and stared deeply into my eyes. His eyes were full of sorrow or maybe guilt?

The first thing he said was,

"I'm sorry......." 

He paused for awhile before continuing,

"I'm sorry.. I'm sorry, i couldn't protect you earlier.. I'm sorry for yesterday.. I'm sorry"

Eventhough he did wrong yesterday, but it broke my heart even more when he apologizes like this. 
All the sincerity he put on his words had me emotional.
I have never known simple 'sorry'(s) could playing with my emotion.

"Stop saying sorry! Your words hit my emotion really well" 
i playfully hit his arms while wiping my tears that still left on the corner of my eyes.

His lips curved into a smile, a wide smile, after hearing that. He didn't even bother to pull both tips of my lips upward to form a smile.
Who wouldn't smile immediately if he did that? He didn't even have to try cause whenever he smile, i'll smile automatically.

"Ah.. You look a lot prettier now! Okay, now, let's take a picture together since we both ran away from class"
He said cheerfully as he pulling out his phone from his pocket.

I was too embarrassed and refused to do so, but he forced me to. 
He set the front camera on his phone and held the phone about 30cm away.
We both flashed a smile until the 'click' sound can be heard.
And yep, the result came out good.
But the only thing that bother me the most is MY FRICKIN EYES.
Those look like meetballs!
Unfortunately, Yunhyeong noticed it too and as expected he teased me about it.
Typical Song Yunhyeong. 

"Woah! What is this!? Eat your own rule, Yunhyeong the boi! Now you can't stop me from taking a picture with Ah Ra" 

A y, no, an annoying husky voice greeted us two from behind.
I could tell who it was without even bother to turn my head.
It's no other than Koo Junhoe.
