Today when I arrived at school, I was no longer the focus of everyone’s attention. I still got a couple comments here and there, but that was easy to ignore.

Sandeul walked me to class. We had a conversation full of trivial things. I was still feeling upset but I tried my best to appear to be normal.

Once I walked in to class I was surprised to find a bouquet of white tulips on my desk.

“Your boyfriend?” Sandeul asked. I shrugged, not knowing. When I got to my desk I picked up the card that was under it.

I know this doesn’t make up for anything, but I’m sorry.

-Hyunmin.

I sighed heavily as I read this.

Aish… Hyunmin why are you making this so hard for me.

“How are you going to tell him?” Sandeul asked, as if reading my mind. I sat in my chair and took a good look at the flowers.

“I don’t know… what if I just don’t?” I added. He shrugged.

“Won’t he feel like something is wrong though?” Sandeul added. I sighed heavily, and on cue Hyunmin came in. My eyes met his but he made no signs of coming towards me. He waved, lightly in my direction. I smiled thinly and waved back.

“I just can’t tell him,” I told Sandeul. He shook his head in disapproval. However, I was going to go on with it.

I was going to distance myself with out telling him that I wanted my space.

It’s the perfect plan right?

[Lunch]

I was packing my things when suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned, and my eyes widened at the sight of Hyunmin.

“Sorry… I didn’t mean to scare you.” He told me gently. I shook my head.

“It’s okay, don’t worry about it,” I answered shortly as I continued to pack my things.

“So uh… I was wondering if you wanted to have lunch together,” He suggested. I shrugged.

“Sure, why not.” I said. I mentally scolded myself for accepting. Still I guess I could initiate my plan. I saw Sandeul glaring in my direction.

“Bad Yeoja,” He mouthed. I stuck my tongue out at him and left with Hyunmin.

When we arrived at the table, the atmosphere was pretty awkward.

“So, what did you do yesterday?” He asked. I took a spoonful of my rice before answering.

“I spent some time with Onew and Sandeul,” I told him. He nodded.

“Was it planned or something?” He asked. I shook my head.

“Ani, Onew just surprised me.” I told him. Once again we were eating in an awkward silence. We at all of our lunch and really didn’t have much to say to one another. “So I guess I should get going to class,” I said, standing up. Before I could get too far he stopped me.

“Are you mad?” He asked. I was looking in the opposite direction of him, so I felt like I could still keep my guard up.

“No, everything is fine.” I answered, in a monotone.

“I’ll believe you. Even if I’m not convinced, I will believe you.” He told me, letting my wrist go. I quickly left, not turning back. I feared that if I saw his face I would break down.

So yes, this is going to end soon. I give an estimate of maybe 5 more chapters max ^^; so please do look out for the final chapter. I'm kind of sad I haven't received much feedback... how's everyone feeling out there? Is it good? Bad? borning? should I end it sooner?
