When Kikwang saw Jae Mi and Hyunseung walking arm and arm together something in his chest tightened.

 

Why are they so close all of a sudden?

 

He shook thses thoughts off in dismissal, approaching his two friends.

 

"Hey, classes are about to start again." he said.

 

"What do you have next?" Hyunseung asked Jae Mi

 

She paused for a moment thinking. "tudy hall, what about you two?"

 

"I have dance," Hyunseung replied.

 

"So do I," Kikwang added.

 

"Oh, well I'll see you guys later then.

 

They both nodded.

 

Jae Mi headed in the opposit direction.

 

She went to the library and sat down at one of the long tables, and opened up her notebook.

 

Someone sat across from her, and soon other people joined as well.

 

Jae Mi looked up at Ha Ra and her clique.

 

She smiled hesitantly. "Hi,"

 

Ha Ra smiled back at her "Hi, haven't seen you around alot today, where have you been?"

 

Nothing seemed off about her question, it was the unnaturally smoothe tone of voice that made Jae Mi wary.

 

She wants me to say I was with the guys.

 

"Oh, you know, classes and stuff."

 

"Mmm I see." she said nodding.

 

"That's a bit interesting because Hyo Ri just told me she saw you and Hyunseung sitting under a tree together...."

 

Ha Ra casually flipped her long brown hair over her shoulder.

 

The tint was a bit lighter than Jae Mi's and Ha Ra didn't have the blue streak.

 

Jae Mi bit her lower lip for a bit.

 

"Yeah, we sat together during lunch."

 

"What did you have for lunch?" She asked.

 

Why is she so curious?

 

"I didn't eat, I wasn't hungry."

 

"Oh....I see" Ha Ra paused "You know it's not healthy to skip meals."

 

Jae Mi felt herself flush. Ha Ra made her feel insignificant, adn that she had done something terrible wrong.

 

"W-Well yeah but it was just this one time..."

 

Ha Ra nodded "Well just don't make a habit out of it? We don't want you getting sick now.."

 

"Yeah" 

 

"Well, we'll let you get back to your studies."

 

She got up and all of her posse followed, high heels clicking against the polished floor.

 

Jae Mi let out a sigh she didn't know she was hloding.

 

Why was Ha Ra acting so different today?

 

Something about her seemed menacing.

 

That evening as Jae Mi was getting ready to leave she was Dujun waiting in the hall by her locker.

 

"What are youd doing here?" You asked.

 

He shrugged "I thought you might want a ride home."

 

"Oh, okay" Duh! You do live in the same house.

 

Mentally Jae Mi scolded herself for thinking other wise.

 

She played with her fingers absentmindedly on the way home.

 

Dujun looked over at her.

 

Did something happen?

 

"So...How was your day?" He asked.

 

Jae Mi looked at him, shaken out of her thoughts.

 

"Oh...uhm..it was okay..." she replied tentatively.

 

"You're a bit quiet, did something happen?"

 

She smiled mirthlessly. "It seems that alot of people are questioning me today."

 

"What do you mean by that?" Dujun asked

 

Jae Mi explained to him the odd exchange she and Ha Ra had in the library.

 

She noticed his grip on the steering wheel tightened.

 

"I told you she was trouble."

 

"Something inside of me told myself not to let her know I was with the guys today..."

 

Dujun sighed. "I guess you have a right to know."

 

"To know what?" 

 

"The reason me and the guys don't have a good relationship with Ha Ra, 

 

is because a long time ago, Junhyung used to be head over heels for her.

 

Back then he wasn't as....cold as he is now....she played with his emotions and threw him away."

 

It was silent for a few moments.

 

"I-I had no idea she was that type of person." Jae Mi mumbled.

 

"Neither did we." Dujun stated.

 

For the rest of the way theu were quiet.

 

That explains why Junhyung is the way he is...but why does Ha Ra still want information about him and the others?"

 

The more Jae Mi's questions were answered, the more questions she had.

 

 

That night Jae Mi got a text from a number she never saw before.

 

JM:Who is this?

 

YS: It's Yoseob silly ^^

 

JS: How did you get my number?

 

YS: I have my ways....kekekekeke

 

JM: So...

 

YS: Nothing, are you aoky, you seemed a bit off today.

 

JM: No I'm fine, I talked to Hyunseung and I was okay.

 

YS:.......

 

JM: What?

 

YS: Are you and Hyunseung-

 

JM: No pabo!

 

YS: Oh..okay then.

 

JM:....

 

YS: Yah, where do you live?

 

JM: Why do you want to know byuntae!

 

YS: Aiish not like that! I wanted to walk with you tomorrow.

 

JM: ....oh.....I live at Dujun's house.

 

There was no reply from Yoseob.

 

Jae Mi assumed he was eating dinner or something, until someone was banging on her bedroom door.

 

She opened it and there stood Yoseob, Kikwang and Dongwoon.

 

"Yah! Don't bother her!" Sujun yelled in the distance.

 

"Hi Noona" Dongwwon said smiling sweetly.

 

Jae Mi smiled back.

 

Oh God..why are they here, I'm in my pajamas for crying out loud!

 

"So...aren't you going to let us in?" Yoseob asked.

 

"J-Just a sec."

 

Jae Mi quickly tidyed her room and threw on jeans and a baggy sweater.

 

"Okay come in."

 

All the guys came in, including Dujun who scowled at them.

 

"Sorry about this." He told Jae Mi, rubbing the back of his neck awkwadly.

 

"No problem at all," she replied smiling "No one's ever visited me before."

 

Dujun heard the undertone of sadness in the cheery girl's voice.

 

Was she really that alone before?

 

Everyone sat on the plush carpet that covered the floor.

 

"So what's it like living with the Yoon's?" Yoseob asked.

 

"Well, I've only been here for a few days, but so far it's pretty nice." Jae Mi said, smiling at Dujun.

 

"Watch out Noona, Hyung may seem innocent,

 

but reallly he's a ert, make sure to lock your door." Dongwoon said.

 

"Yah!" Dujun whacked Dongwoon's head, making him fake cry "See Noona he's so mean~"

 

Jae Mi shook her head smiling.

 

"You're room's really pretty." Kikwang commented as he looked around in awe.

 

Polaroids from her camera hung from wall to wall on coloured strings,

 

framed photos of her and her parents decorated one wall.

 

Snowglobes, keychains, stickers and other souveniers decorated her closet doors, walls and bookshelves.

 

"Oh , thanks" Jae Mi replied.

 

"You must love photography." Kikwang said.

 

Hmm I guess I do.

 

Jae Mi never really thought about it, but she did. Not a day went by without her taking a photo.

 

"Why is that?" Yoseob asked.

 

"I guess it's because....

 

when I was younger I was in an accident and I barely remember anything from before I was 10"

 

She explained.

 

"Aigoo, then you don't remember being a kid?" Yoseob asked, his bright eyes shining with concern.

 

Jae Mi shook her head "My memories have always ben travelling, and then I started taking photos,

 

so if I ever forgot again, they would be there to remind me."

 

"Why don't you take a picture of us so you won't forget?" Dongwoon suggested.

 

"Arrasso." Jae took put her polariod camera and snapped a photo of the four guys.

 

She handed it to them, and Syoseob took out a pen and on the border wrote "Friends 4 ever! <3"

 

He handed ot back to Jae Mi "Now you can't forget us alright?!"

 

She laughed "I wouldn't dream of it."

 

"Alright, I think we'd better get going." Kikwang said.

 

The three guests got up and headed for the door.

 

"Goodnight Noona~" Dongwwon called.

 

Jae Mi smiled and waved to the maknae. 

 

Yoseob patted her head affectionately "Sweet dreams~"

 

"Bye Seobbie,"

 

Kikwang shuffled his feet awkwardly, which Jae Mi found cute.

 

"Well...goodnight...." He said, he looked at her with his big brown eyes smiling sweetly.

 

Jae Mi felt that she could stare at them forever, until Dujun cleared his throat bringing the two back to reality.

 

"See you tomorrow Kikwang."

 

When they all left Dujun was leaned up against Jae Mi's doorframe.

 

"Is that true?" He asked.

 

"What..?"

 

"About...about the accident."

 

"Jae Mi nodded and lightly brushed her bangs off her forehead, revealing a scar.

 

Dujun's eyes widened a bit. "I'm so sorry."

 

The look in his eyes showed true sadness and pain.

 

Jae Mi was uncomfortable, did he pity her that much?

 

He went closer to her and soflt brushed his fingers over the scar.

 

He wrapped his arms around her in a tight hug.

 

What's going on with him?!

 

"I'm so sorry," he whispered.
