Inhae think that her last year of high school was the worst of all year. She still had the same class as Jongin. Her crush on him didn’t even wavered and she was sitting so close to him for her liking – blame her luck for coming late to class when the seat was arranged, so she was stuck with the remaining seats.

Seolhyun, being an angel she was – or maybe a devil in this case, offered her seat that was behind Jongin and just left to sit behind Inhae with her other friends – Inhae wanted to cry when the girl do that, but at least she was with Seohyun, a very beautiful but shy girl. Inhae had insisted her taking the seat behind Jongin, proclaimed that she couldn’t see well if she sits there and the girl agreed.

Inhae was stuck with Jongin sitting in the front row and the queenkas was behind her and worst, she had Chanyeol who was also a part of Jongin’s clique sitting beside her.

Chanyeol was basically annoying. He kept pestering her and Inahe just really had a thin layer of patience. She could feel herself changing, from the shy little turtle to a y cat, moody and needy, always hissing and snarled at everyone that tried to come to her comfort zone – which is Chanyeol.

So, whenever Chanyeol annoyed her, she would spat back in sarcastic tones in which she shouldn’t have because he just couldn’t stop pestering her afterwards, wanting more response of his annoying attack.

The tall boy had a crush on Seohyun. He admitted it, but Seohyun didn’t buy it and just shrugged it off. Chanyeol tried to flirt with her, but she just ignored him and he turned to Inhae to let out his annoyance.

Jongin wasn’t any better. He would just randomly walked from his seat and then stood in front of her table, just stared at nothing and sometimes strike conversations with Chanyeol and leaving Inhae to stare at his crotch – which doesn’t really help her in anyway.

But unlike with Chanyeol, she didn’t say anything to Jongin and just let him do anything that he wanted, afraid that she might say something stupid and just embarrassed herself.

It was like that for a few weeks until Seulgi finally came back to school. Poor girl, she had been in the hospital for a while because of a high fever and just came in a bit late.

She had texted Inhae of course, asking if they were in the same class and yes, they were – Inhae had checked of course.

The girl obviously didn’t like sitting so far from Inhae and sitting with someone that she barely knew so she begged Inhae to switch up places.

Inhae, had gladly took the chance because finally – she was going to get away from Jongin and Chanyeol. She had talked to Seohyun and the girl was okay with it.

Inhae had changed seat the next day, sitting at the back of the class with Seulgi.

She liked sitting at the back, because she could see everyone from the back – like how she saw Jongin walking into the class early in the morning and have a frown on his face. He looked confused, but didn’t say anything.

She just watched as he took a seat. He had his eyes on her previous seat that was now occupied with Sooyoung. She wondered – had he noticed that she had changed seat? Did he actually notice her?

Jongin said something to Sooyoung – Inhae had wondered what he was asking aboutbut then the girl suddenly pointed at her direction at the back and she panicked when Jongin looked at her.

Wait – is he searching for her?

Chanyeol doesn’t seemed to like the idea of her switching seats and demanded that she changed it back to which she just hissed and told him to off. She received an amused looks from the boys and the girls just chuckled.

“Poor Baekhyun, what’s he going to do without you? He needs you.”

Seulgi had looked at her of course, wondering what Chanyeol was talking about.

It was just a joke that Chanyeol had been teasing her about – that Byun Baekhyun had a crush on her but was too shy to confess.

Inhae had denied it of course, because – who would even like her?

Her eyes suddenly flickered to Jongin, who just had his head down the entire class. She just hoped he wasn’t thinking that she hated him or anything because she moved away from him.

She didn’t know why she had thought about that. She should have forgotten about him.

Right.
