After the incident at the shop, Top didn't speak to me for three weeks. I didn't want to make him speak to me because I felt as though I had hurt him. I didn't talk to the boys because I didn't want them to be dragged into it all. I just sat by myself and always returned to the dorm late and leave before Top woke up. Sure, I'm a coward for avoiding him but I didn't want him to be upset with me. So, I stayed away from him. 

It was maths now and I knew I would be sitting next to Top. But, I wouldn't look at him. I simply had to translate the work myself. I had lied about not knowing Korean. I had been learning it for years now. I just wanted someone to talk to. That person was Top... 

Now he didn't want anything to do with me. Perfect.

I was walking around the campus grounds with my earphones in and all my songs in my playlist playing. I had my new book from the library in my hand. I had been able to read the first chapter of the book in the library before it closed. So now I was just walking around, in my uniform, with my tears rolling down my cheeks. I couldn't help but cry. I felt so wrong... 

Weak and pathetic. 

I decided to walk the corridors of the school as it began to get cold and dark outside. I ended up on the music corridor and my playlist had stopped. I could hear talking from one of the classrooms and the voices sounded very familiar. They were speaking in Korean. So, I stopped by the door, out of sight and listened. 

"Why won't you just talk?" I heard G Dragon ask and I knew they were talking to Top and about us. 

"Because, what is the point? We wouldn't be able to work things out anyway. She is leaving at the end of the school year and I will never see her again." Top replies and I knew he was right. But, why did it hurt so much to hear him say it? I wasn't holding my tears back but I kept quiet. 

"That's why you need to spend every last minute trying to win her heart. When she leaves she will never forget you. Just as you will with her." TaeYang says and again my heart hurt. 

I had heard enough and wanted to get away. Just as I was about to continue walking past the classroom, I crashed into something and fell to the floor. I kept my head down and stayed where I was. In chance that I had walked into one of them, I just hoped they would pass by me. But, not everyone gets what they wish for. My chin was lifted by the familiar hand that I would know from a single touch. 

"Why are you crying? Shouldn't it be me who cries?" Top sighs as he his thumb over my cheek and wipes away the tears. I turn my head away from him and stand back up. Just as I go to walk away, he gears my wrist and pulls me into his embrace. I didn't move at first and stood in shock. 

"You should know that I do not hate you. You haven't done anything wrong. I shouldn't have tried to make you upset because seeing you like this makes me upset too." He tells me and holds me closer. I slowly bring my arms up and take him into my own embrace. 

"Come on, I'm taking you back to our dorm room. We have to talk." He says and holds my hand and walks me out of the building and to our dorm room. He lets me enter the room first and shortly follows. I go to the bedroom and put my bag on my bed and sit next to it and begin looking through it. Top comes in and sits on his bed and watches me.

"What are you looking for?" He asks but I just stay silent as I continue looking for it. Once I see it, I grab it and pull it out before walking over to Top and joining him on his bed. I place the black beanie on his leg and he looks down at it.

"I saw you looking at it when we were in the shop three weeks ago. I wanted to surprise you with it, but I think now is a better time for you to have it." I tell him and look down at my laps that were resting on my legs as my fingers interlock together. 

"You didn't need to get me this." He sighs as he picks it up in hands. 

"I wanted it to be a gift. To say thank you for my friend when I've needed one most." I explain to him and he looks at me as I look at him. Our eyes meet and I see that same look in his eyes for only a moment before he smiles at me. 

"Thank you. But if I take this gift then you must do something for me in return." He says and turns his body towards me. I lean back a little. 

"Stay with me in my bed for the remaining time you are here."
