Sunhee inhaled deeply as she passed through the school gate. She literally dragged herself to class. Her steps felt so heavy knowing what might happen later and what she would do about it. Jin would bother her a lot, undoubtedly, and she’s almost positive about it. She had been thinking whether she should tell Yoongi or not, but in the end she decided to keep it away from him unless like what he had said before about Jin dared to do something on her.

Sunhee was the first student to arrive at her class as usual. The morning coldness added by the quiet surroundings was enough to give her goosebumps. She rubbed her nape as she sighed. She just couldn’t stop wishing that everything would be just fine.

Sunhee glanced around, thinking what she could do to spend the rest of her time to wait until the bell rang. No matter how their task brought out bad memories to her, she took it out from her bag and decided to check it all over again just to make it perfect. She really spent hours doing it alone at Jin’s room in the night before while the guy disappeared to get a drink for her—which she found it amazing that he was humane enough to treat her—and just innocently watching her doing their task. He actually offered her help to do it, but the annoyed self of her was way too irritated by him interacting with her.

Sunhee sighed when she heard the chair beside her squeaked. It’s happening again.

“Good morning,” Jin greeted her with his innocent-but-not-so-innocent smile. Sunhee couldn’t help to stare at him bluntly since she was too tired to glare at him. It didn’t work on him though. Jin’s smile faded right away. The switch was already triggered to his threatening mode. “You do what you got to do, remember.”

The first half of the day was again spent by them sitting side by side throughout the lessons without talking to each other. Sunhee was totally pissed off by his threats to obey him or whatever he called it. She was a bit relieved that he stayed quiet just like what he did on the day before during the first half. Meanwhile, actually Jin’s silence didn’t simply give her peace. He was just delaying her burden, keeping it for later as he planned things inside his head in the silence he’s having.

“Sitting with Jin again today, huh?” Yoongi shot right away as Sunhee arrived at the third floor during recess time. “Did he do something to you?” from his voice, she could tell that he was slowly getting annoyed and couldn’t stay still on what Jin had been doing recently.

Sunhee couldn’t hide her annoyance either. She had enough of Jin’s teases on her, moreover after the incident at Jin’s room the day before which she couldn’t tell to Yoongi. “Yeah, I’m stuck with him,” she muttered. "But don't worry too much. I can bear it still."

“Can’t you kick him away or whatever?” he asked, clearly impatient.

“Not now since we’re having a task together,” she lied, trying to make excuses. “I’ll definitely tell you if I can’t stand it anymore.”

Yoongi could read her frustrated look. He sighed before wrapping her in a warm hug. He leaned his cheek on her head as he her hair. He knew what he got to do. He just needed the right moment to trigger him so that he had a reason to go harsh on Jin. “Don’t worry. I’m gonna keep you safe.”

Jin smiled at her when their gazes met as he walked inside the classroom. Undoubtedly, the other girls followed where his gaze was fixed at. They hissed knowing that it was Sunhee all along he’d been watching. With both of his hands shoved into his pockets, he coolly went to his seat, which was beside Sunhee starting from the day before until she didn’t know when. Meanwhile, his two culprits, Hoseok and Namjoon, went to their seats. Sunhee was suspicious whether Jin purposely distanced them away from him and Sunhee since those three usually stick together before Sunhee’s hell with Jin began. She caught Hoseok and Namjoon smirked at Jin, mouthing something she didn’t get what.

Mr. Choi’s lesson soon started, as well as Jin’s plan for that day. Sunhee got up from her seat to collect their task in front of the class. “Excuse me,” she politely told Jin to move aside since her seat was the one next to the wall that she had to pass his seat first t
