After I just disappeared from the classroom I went straight to Cafe Latte to meet Misa.

She had asked me to tutor her today because she was having problems in math and didn't really know who to ask and of course I agreed.

I wanted to keep it a secret from the others because they would probably be on my case all the time and tease me about her being my girl friend again.

Misa and I were just friends and nothing more and she knew that too.

The next day I went to the classroom with Felix and saw that Hyunjin wasn't there yet. Surprised, I went to Minho who was already at his seat playing on his cell phone and Felix followed me.
"Is Hyunjin not here yet?"

Minho put his phone aside and shook his head.
"He's with Ms. Lee, I don't know why." he shrugged and I nodded understandably.
"Maybe he finally gets to change clubs." Felix whispered next to me and I looked at him in wonder.

He might have a point there. His grades have improved drastically and according to Ms. Lee's statement, as soon as his grades improve he will be allowed to go back to the dance club.

Actually, I should be happy for him now but somehow I also hoped that this would not be the case.

I sat down with Felix back at our place and just at that moment Hyunjin entered the classroom.
He just gave me a quick glance without greeting me and then sat down next to Minho.

Minho seemed to ask him directly what he wanted with Ms. Lee but then I turned around again when our teacher came in.

"Are you all right? You seem kind of tense?" Felix whispered to me and looked at me in wonder but I just shook my head and assured him that everything was fine.

During the break Hyunjin didn't speak a word and looked outside all the time. He didn't even touch his food and normally his food was his everything.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Minho looked at his friend in confusion and pointed his fork at Hyunjin's full plate.
"Not hungry." he just mumbled to himself and leaned into the chair, sighing.
"I think someone's heartbroken." wide-eyed, I looked at Felix who was grinning at Hyunjin with waggling eyebrows.
"Heartbreak my ass." Hyunjin grumbled to himself and gave the freckled boy an annoyed look.

You could clearly see that there was something wrong with him. I have often seen Hyunjin in a bad mood but today he is absolutely not in a good mood.

After the break we all went back to the classroom and were divided into two groups.
Minho and I were in one group while Hyunjin had to do with Felix.

"Do you know what's wrong with Hyunjin?" I asked Minho who was going through the assignments.
"I have no idea. I've never seen him like that." he pushed the paper aside a bit, then looked over at Hyunjin and Felix who were talking.
"But I can well imagine why he's like that." I saw a small grin make itself visible on Minho's face and I looked at him with raised eyebrows.
"And what's the reason?" I asked and Minho turned his gaze to me.
"You'll find out for yourself soon, I hope."

That was the only thing he said, leaving me in the dark.

I'm supposed to find out for myself soon?

Before I could worry any further, I set about the tasks we were to work on.

After school ended, Hyunjin and I went to the movie club room together and all the way there he just walked silently beside me.

I would have liked to ask him myself what was going on with him but I could imagine that I would only make things worse.
"You went to see Ms. Lee today, right?" I inquired and Hyunjin just nodded silently while his gaze was still straight ahead.
"Was it about your grades?" I continued to probe and I could see clearly that Hyunjin was starting to get annoyed.

Still, I wanted an answer.

"She said that my grades have definitely improved and I can go back to the dance club if I want to." Hyunjin replied and I stopped in response. The blond-haired one also came to a stop and raised an eyebrow.
"Are you going to switch?" my gaze was fixed directly on Hyunjin and something inside me wanted the answer to not be yes.

He averted his gaze for a moment and then shrugged.
"Maybe..." that was the only thing he said and then continued walking towards the club room.

I stopped for another moment at the spot where I came to a halt and then continued walking as well.

That was not the answer I wanted.
