Heejin turned her head as she heard footsteps following closely behind her. Jaemin fell in step with her once he finally caught up. She gave him a faint smile before facing forward. Jaemin bit his lip as he watched her smile falter. His eyes wandered as he tried to figure out what to say to her.
"Heejin," He started, making her sigh.
"You're probably curious, huh?" She asked, turning to him. Jaemin stayed silent, not bothering to deny it. She nodded in understanding.
"Yeah, I would be too," She said, running her hands through her hair.
"You don't have to tell me," Jaemin said, speaking before she could explain. "I get it... you're probably not comfortable with saying it to me."
"Tell me when you're ready, Heejin," He said while giving her a reassuring smile. She turned to him with wide eyes. Her mouth flew open as the sound of his voice filled her ears. 'There it is again... what's happening?'
She blinked back the tears that filled her eyes. She cleared her throat, thanking Jaemin. Jaemin's brows furrowed, and he stared at her with a worried expression.
"Where are you going?" Jaemin said, watching her walk past their class.
"I need to clear my mind. Will you cover for me?" She asked, turning around.
Jaemin nodded and walked her walk away. He sighed, feeling as if he failed. He stopped in front of the classroom, glancing at her one last time before going in.
Heejin peeked over the corner, watching him walk to their classroom. Her eyes widened as an image of her past lover flashed before her. She blinked rapidly and saw Jaemin instead. Her brows furrowed, feeling confused. She leaned her head back and closed her eyes. Her head started to pound against her skull. She let out a tired sigh before standing up correctly. "Tell me when you're ready, Heejin."
His voice rang in her head, and an image of him appeared in front of her. Her eyes widened, and she whispered his name under her breath. Her head began to pound in her ears as tears filled her eyes. She started to walk towards him. He gave her a cute eye smile, calling her name softly before vanishing in front of her eyes.
"No! Don't leave!" She said, reaching her hand out. She grabbed onto the air, hoping to catch him. She fell to her knees and stared at the ground.
She blinked back as her tears threatened to fall. She closed her hand into a fist, and her tears began to roll down her cheeks. "Please come back to me..."
She placed her hand over her chest, feeling her heart sting. She gripped at her uniform and sobbed. She hit her chest, trying to stop it from hurting. She ran her hairs through her hair before pushing herself up.
Her vision became blurry, and she struggled to stand. She placed her hand on the wall, trying to support herself. She started to make her way to a specific room, stumbling on the way. Her head started to pound harder, making her stop. She leaned against the wall, taking a few deep breaths. She lifted her hand and wiped her tears with the back of her hand.
"Heejin!" A boy called out and rushed towards her.
Heejin lost her balance and collapsed onto the floor, crying out in pain. She lifted her head and saw a boy crouch in front of her. Tears began to fill her eyes as she struggled to stand up.
The black-haired boy held her arm, steadying her. He lifted her arm and placed it around her shoulder. He carefully supported her as he walked towards the infirmary.

Jaemin glanced at the seat next to him. He waited for her to walk through the door, but it didn't seem like she would be coming anytime soon. He sighed and glanced at the clock. The class was almost over. He stared at it, wanting it to end so he could look for her.
'I wonder what they would say when I tell them that I lost her...' He inhaled deeply, biting his lip nervously. The class soon ended, and he immediately rushed out the door. He cursed as he found him lost around the school.
"Where could she be?" He asked himself. He stood in front of the infirmary and bit his lip, debating with himself if he should go inside. "It wouldn't hurt to check."
He opened the door slowly and walked in, closing the door behind him. It was empty, and there was no sign of the nurse. He scanned the room, and his eyes landed on the closed curtain. He walked towards it and lifted his hand. Jaemin halted as he heard an unfamiliar voice call out her name.
Heejin groaned and opened her eyes slowly. Her brows furrowed as she waited for her eyesight to adjust. She blinked back and looked around the room. Her eyes widened as she found herself staring into a familiar set of eyes. The boy smiled at her and patted her head.
"Min?" She asked, lifting her hand to her head. He hummed, helping her sit up. "What are you doing here?"
"I came to visit you," He said, handing her a cup of water. "It's a good thing I came in time."
She averted her eyes to the cup of water, waiting for a scolding. The boy stared at her and sighed.
"What are you doing to yourself? The nurse said you passed out due to fatigue," He said with a frown on his face. "Did you stay up crying again?"
She stayed silent and lifted her head. His eyes softened, and he reached out to hold her hand. He squeezed her hand and rubbed his thumb over it. He let out a deep sigh and wiped the tears that fell from her eyes.
"I couldn't help it... Minho, it hurts so much," She said, sniffing.
"Shhh... it's okay, let it out," He said, pulling her into a hug. She buried her head into his chest. She cried out and grabbed a fist full of his shirt. Minho rubbed circles on her back and whispered comforting words to her.
Jaemin stood there, feeling his heart squeeze as the sound of her cries filled the silent room. He let his hand down and left the room, giving the two privacy. A series of questions filled his mind, and he wanted answers. He mentally scolded himself for being nosy. He stared at the ground and pulled the picture from his pocket.
"Are you the reason why?" Jaemin asked as he stared at the boy in the picture.
His phone started to ring, making him check the ID caller. He smiled before answering, and the sound of a soft voice filled his ears. He felt his heart flutter before hitting his chest softly. 'Don't do this to me...'
