I sit across from the six of them, rolling my eyes. I take a sip of banana milkshake, trying to wash it down. Maybe it will digest better that way. I take a bite of my sandwich as the man himself walks in, a ghostly pale girl hanging off of his arm, before Jaehyo snatches it and takes a big bite out of it. I immediately turn to face him, scowling and wondering why he's being such a jerk today.     "Stop it. He doesn't love you."   I glare at Jaehyo as the words spill from his mouth for the second time. "Let it go." I ignore him, even when he moves his face closer to my face. Kyung clicks his tongue and slings his arm around me. "Tell her more softly, hyung. Can't you see it's hurting her?" He scolds Jaehyo. "So? She needs to hear it. She's just too much of a moron to realise it herself." Yukwon stares at me with his jaw slightly hanging open. I can tell his eyes are full of sympathy. I hate it. It just slaps me in the face. It's like he is saying the same as Jaehyo.     As soon as Jiho walks in with the ghostly pale girl again, I hide my head behind a book. Thankfully Jaehyo isn’t there to poke fun of my crush again, but instead, I’m stuck with his best friend Kyung, and in a way, that’s kind of worse because Jiho comes over to sit with us with his girlfriend beside him. “Don’t tell me…” Jiho says while grinning at us. I look at Kyung in confusion. “No, you idiot. We’re not.” Kyung throws a ball of foil at Jiho’s head. “She is someone else’s.” Jiho smirks at me and asks me who I like. I hiss at Kyung and smack his head. “Having fun?” I hear a voice next to me and feel a shadow looming over us. I look up to see it’s Jaehyo and frown. I scoff and ignore him, though Kyung pulls me over so that there’s enough room for Jaehyo to sit beside me. Jiho winces and turns to Kyung, looking between me and Jaehyo. “Is it always this tense between them? They look like they’ll kill each other soon.” I eat my lunch without even looking at Jaehyo. “Maybe because I will.” He mumbles. “You know what? Forget it. Have a nice lunch everyone. Jaehyo...” I pause and point at Jaehyo, glaring at him. He stares back at me, his gaze unwavering. “I hope you choke on your food.” As I walk away, I hear him mutter to the boys, “Damn she’s feisty sometimes.”     I am sitting with Jaehyo again. It’s only because the others aren’t here that I even bother. Once again I spend my time watching Jiho from the table I’m sitting at. I watch as he feed his girlfriend and I watch as he smiles at her lovingly. I think, ‘why can’t he look at me that way?’ and sigh. I can feel Jaehyo’s eyes on me, but I don’t dare look at him. I know what he’s about to say. At first I don’t believe what he repeats to me day after day, but after some time, I start to think maybe he’s right. As much as I hate him rubbing it in my face all of the time, I know it’s the truth. After all, Jiho is happily dating and has been for two years. We’re not even close friends, so it’s obvious that he’d never feel the way I so desperately want him to. But I know that it’s just a crush, and I know that crushes never really last long. As I stare at Jiho, forgetting about my lunch on the table, Jaehyo fi
