It's been an hour since classes ended. The school seems empty and quiet, the hallways are just the same, and outside, the calm afternoon air is blowing into the hallways as Jisung walks through them.

His friends had already gone home, or wherever they were planning to go, but he had stayed behind because of something he had been trying to pursue other than Park Juyeon. That is, music.

His friends know about this, of course, but despite their usual sincere offers to join him, he chooses to do them alone. Mostly just because he knows they'll all end up bickering with each other in the end as well, anyway.

Finally, after some time, Jisung had just finished writing and arranging his latest song and now all he had to do was record it. As he heads down the hallway out of the school building, however, he hears someone shout from what seems to be the stairs he'll be taking to go down the second floor. And just as that happens, a girl appears out of nowhere and runs past him. Jisung quickly dodges her, his eyes widening as he watches the girl that had just run past him continuing to run while seemingly looking frantic. "What the- What was that?"

Jisung's brows furrow in confusion, but then he shrugs as he continues walking towards the top of the stairs he would be taking only to see no one. Once again, a confused look forms on his face, and he finds himself looking towards the way the running girl went. That is, until he hears another shout.

His eyes widen, then he turns towards the opposite direction, realizing that the shout actually came from the next set of stairs. Not that he was actually planning on checking, but something about it kept bugging him, and soon enough, he finds himself walking towards the next set of stairs, on his way to find out where that shout is coming from.

Meanwhile, you try for the third time to stand once again, despite knowing that you can't, only to fall to the floor once again in a failed attempt. You let out an exasperated sigh as you look down at the floor, your eyes still wet from your hopeless weeping from a while ago. "Aish, this is annoying! I can't even see properly," you complain as you wipe your tears away when you suddenly hear a voice from the top of the stairs.

"Jeon Y/N?"

Jisung's eyes widen when he sees you wiping at your tears, and your eyes widen as well at your realization of having been discovered. You quickly look up only to see the same boy that had helped you earlier this morning with the paint in your hair looking at you with wide eyes.

Jisung's brows furrow as he notices your actions. "Wait, were you... crying?" he asks, still standing at the top of the stairs.

Your eyes widen when you realize his words, and you quickly look away from him as you wipe away the last of your tears from your eyes. "No! The floor's dust got into my eyes and now my eyes are getting teary," you explain, though you know the boy will probably know it's a lie. Well, of course, you were crying! And yes, Jisung knows very well that you wete lying.

Slowly, he walks down the stairs to approach you. "What happened to you anyway? Um... why are you sitting on the floor?"

You roll your eyes before looking back at him. "I was pushed down the stairs. Thank goodness, I didn't hit my head, but I think I still got injured. I..." You wince as your leg hurts as you try to stand up again only to fall back on the ground. "I can't stand. It hurts too much when I try to stand."

Jisung's eyes widen at your words. "What? Who pushed you? Did you see who it was?" he asks quite frantically whic causes you to look at him with furrowed brows, making him stop talking before he looks away. "I... I was just asking."
