You followed your school routine of eating lunch with Jiyeon then joining Zico afterwards. On this particular day you were out at the bleachers with Block B. Zico and his friends were laughing while you were staring off into space. You didn’t join in on their conversation but just twirled the butterfly pendant between your fingers. A figure on the roof caught your attention. You shifted your gaze upwards and your expression softened immediately.

*Daehyun oppa.*

He was gazing out at the scenery below him. His eyes met with yours and both of you froze.

*I wonder what he’s thinking.* You thought.

“Aish. I’m bored. Let’s play ball.” U-Kwon tossed his blazer on the bleacher and picked up a stranded basketball. “We’re uneven though.” P.O. got up. “Yeojin can play. She’ll be on my team. Right, baby?” Zico grinned as he put his arm around your neck.

Daehyun disappeared from sight. You lightly ducked out from under his arm, “Mianhae. I have to go check something.” You ran off.

“Yo, where’s your girl going?” Kyung nodded at you. He scratched his head, not knowing himself.

*What was Daehyun oppa doing on the roof?* Heart hammering in your ribcage, you raced up the stairs.

*Damn. It hurts every time I see her with him.* Daehyun sighed as he leaned against the wall. The door of the rooftop burst open and he straightened up right away. His heart filled with hope *Yeojin?!* But it was Jiyeon. His heart deflated at once like a cut-up balloon.

“I thought I would find you here.” Jiyeon walked over to him.

Daehyun grimaced. She had been following him around too much lately. *I just wish she would leave me alone.*

“Why are you all alone? Aren’t you lonely?” Jiyeon asked with a bright smile. Daehyun scowled as he headed towards the exit. “You’re still sulking over Yeojin and Zico, right?” Jiyeon asked. He froze with wide eyes. *She has the audacity to say that to me?!* Daehyun whirled around and glared at her.

Jiyeon pretended not to notice and casually stretched her slender arms. “It’s been two months since they’ve been together. Don’t you think you should be over it by now?”

*What the hell is she talking about?* Daehyun wondered.

Jiyeon looked at him with a knowing smile, “Yes, I know Jung Daehyun. You’re in love with Yeojin, aren’t you?” His eyes widened. *! ! How did she know?!* “Hmmm…but too bad she doesn’t feel the same way about you.” Jiyeon pouted. Daehyun gazed at her *What does she mean?*

You finally arrived at the final flight of stairs. *Whew. Made it. I hope Daehyun oppa is stil here.* You slightly opened the door to hear another voice than Daehyun’s. Your eyes enlarged in recognition *Is that Jiyeon?* You peeked between the space. Jiyeon and Daehyun seemed to be in a serious conversation.

“Yeojin is in love with Zico.” Jiyeon proclaimed. Your eyes widened *What?! No I’m not! I just like him!*

“She told me herself. She fell in love with him. She said they’re perfect for each other and that there is no other guy for her than him.” Yeojin continued. Your mouth fell open *I never said any of that to her! Why is she sprouting lies to Daehyun oppa?!*

Daehyun flinched at her words. They felt like knives cutting into his already broken heart. His hands balled into tight fists and started to shake. “And whoever is going to take that happiness from her will not only make her unhappy, but he’ll kill her.” Jiyeon emphasized the word. Daehyun’s face fell and his heart crashed into pieces. *Was she talking about me when she said that?* You were beyond bewildered. *I don’t understand why Jiyeon is telling him all these lies.*

Before you could meddle in, the bell rang. *I’ll ask her later.* You left. Jiyeon looked at Daehyun, “So you see, you should give up before you hurt her. I’m only telling you this because I don’t want to see both of you get hurt. Yeojin is my best friend. And you’re an oppa I really care about…” She squeezed his arm as he dismally looked away. “Remember. I’m always here if you need to talk.” Jiyeon left the rooftop with a satisfied smile. *Mission accomplished.*

Daehyun yanked his mask down. He needed to breathe. *What happened, Yeojin? You told me you didn’t feel for Zico in that way. Since when
