Since that day, things didn't go well with Hoya. 

In class, he would ask you questions and your answers would only be : 

"Yes"

"No"

"Ok"

"I don't know." 

You can't help but feel awkward around him. It was probably because of that day.

You accidentally kicked the table and your pencil rolled onto the ground. 

Both of you bent down to pick it up and your fingers touched. 

Hoya felt his heart skip a beat. 

You felt heat creeping up your face. 

"Ahem, get ready for class." The teacher came in and broke the silence. 

*Phew, that was close.* You heaved a sigh of relieve.

After school, you made your way to the piano room. The competition was one month later so both of you had to practice extra hard. 

When you entered the room, Hoya was already there. 

Upon seeing you, he immediately grabbed a chair for you. 

"T-There you go." He said while handing you the chair. 

*Why am I stuttering?!*

"Erm.. Thanks, you didn't have to , i could've just taken it myself." 

The lesson went by as usual, except this time, nobody said a word that was unrelated to the lesson. 

Usually, Hoya would be joking around, but today, he could sense that you were different. He knew something was troubling you, but he didn't know what. So throughout the lesson, he just kept quiet. 

____________________________________________________

After the lesson, you didn't even bother to say "Bye" and immediately rushed out of the room. 

*Something must be wrong with her.* Hoya thought and ran out after you

"Hey, wait up!" 

Hearing his voice, you quickened your pace. But no matter how fast you walked, Hoya could still catch up with you. 

"Yah! Didn't you hear me?" He said while grabbing your arm. 

"What did you say?" You pretended that you didn't hear.

"Nevermind about that. What's wrong with you?" 

"There's nothing wrong with me."

"There is! You don't talk as much in class. When you talk, you avoid looking at me. What happened?"

"Believe me, nothing's wrong." You turned around and started walking away. 

Not believing your words, Hoya grabbed your wrist and spun you around, not letting you escape. 

"Just tell me what ha-"

"I TOLD YOU NOTHING IS WRONG! Just let go of me ok? I'm not in the mood of talking right now." 

Once again, Hoya let you go. 

*I seem to be always letting her go huh?*

"Hey, welcome ba-" 

-BANG!- Your door slammed shut. 

*What's wrong with her today?* Jonghyun wondered. 

"Hey, what's wrong?" Jonghyun went up to your room to check on you. 

"Nothing." You muttered. 

"Boy troubles? You can always ask me. " 

"I don't want to talk now." 

"So I'm right. You have boy troubles huh? Although I don't know who it is, you shouldn't avoid him. I know it's not easy for you to accept another guy after what happened with Kikwang, but you shouldn't push him away. You never know, he might be the one for you." Jonghyun said and left the room. 

*If only you knew that it was your rival, you wouldn't have encouraged me to accept him.*
