The week has quickly gone by and y/n had more interactions with enhypen.They were pretty much friends now.
Sunghoon was with Niki,walking to their next class.
"Hey y/n,can we work on the project tomorrow instead? I have plans on Saturday."He stopped the girl.
"Oh ok.Tomorrow is fine."
"Thanks"He smiled at her,while Niki brows furrowed,not understanding why he changed his plans since he was always free on Saturdays.
"Aren't you and Jake hyung going to hang out tomorrow."He asked after the girl left.
"Yep afterwards."
"But didn't you ask him to go to your house first before hanging out."
"That's right."
Then it clicked the younger boy.
"Don't tell me,you're playing Cupid now?"
Sunghoon turned around,hand positioned like a bow and arrow,one eye closed,ready to aim at the target.Niki's eyes trailed to where he was aiming towards.
The oblivious girl continued her way down the hallways.
"Bullseye"
He pretended to release the arrow.
—————————
Today,the hallways were louder than usual.Constant chattering and whispers echoed through array of metal lockers.
"Hyung,your locker is fixed."Jungwon approached the group who was at the vending machine.Heeseung passed a drink to him before opening his own.
"Thanks.Anyways you can transfer your things back."
Jake reached for the dispensed can,swiftly opening it and taking a sip.
"Oh..." He monotonously said.
"Is something wrong?"Jungwon cluelessly asked.
He took another sip,carefully crafting an answer in his head.
"Feeling reluctant?You don't wanna move back?"Niki slyly hinted.
Jake's hands griped tighter onto the metal can,crushing it slightly.He faked a smile,coming up with an excuse.
"No,it's just too troublesome."
"Anyways,have you guys heard?"Heeseung spoke rather seriously,a bit concerned.
"She's back."
"It's gonna be so awkward."Sunoo mumbled.
"You think she changed."Jungwon questioned Jake.
"I hope so,if not my answer is still the same."
——————————
Kim Eunji's heels clicked as she walked through the hallways,waving her hand left and right to greet those around.Her eyes like her mouth,formed little crescent moons,brightly smiling.She was part of the heartthrobs,friends with popular girls like Yuna,Ryujin.Not only girls but guys as well.She mixed with guys like juyeon,wooyoung and of course,enhypen.She was well liked with a perfect sweetened friendly personality.
Sweet,too sweet,that it might make you choke and get a sore throat.Like an overdose of candy,sugar levels too high.
That's why I didn't really wanted to be close friends with her.Innocent people who seem so sweet,they're too nice.
She left last year,studying abroad in Paris for an exchange programme.But what people were whispering about wasn't about her studies abroad,instead,what happened right before she left.
Being close friends with enhypen and other guys,people often play match making.One of the most famous "match" was with Jake.Regardless of the countless times denying their relationship,people still speculate that there got to be something,so did the rest of the group.Just like that,the boys encouraged her to confess to Jake so that they can actually be together but she thought that she'll get rejected,seeing how he rejected everyone else.
After delaying,she finally confessed the day before she left for the exchange programme.It wasn't done publicly so no one knew what actually happened.
Rumors,she got rejected,the same way he did to others,that emotionless face and that monotonous voice that spoke with intimidation.That hit her hard as she realised the guy saw her the same,just like all the other girls.
"Do you think she'll try again?"
"I wouldn't,it's already embarrassing to still be in the same school."
"I saw him earlier,seemed like he didn't care."
"She's no different than us."
"Damn it, I actually kinda wish it worked out."
"That means I'll still have a chance."
Messages delivered from ear to ear,but it was still loud enough to hear the words that slipped out between the gaps of their fingers.
The words reflected by the lockers,repeatedly echoed
As I walked towards my locker.
"Can we talk."
"What is it?"
"You won't say hi to your friend."she bitterly said.
"Just tell me already."
Quietly,I placed my books in my locker.
"Let's do it privately."
I figured she was talking about me.Not wanting to get involved I quickly pack up.
"Don't mind me,I'll be leaving now."I excused myself from them.
——————————
"Say it."
"How have you been?"
"Same,now get to your main point I don't have all day."
Just by his tone,she could already guess what will happen next.
"Why are you being so cold.You weren't like that."She laughed at his seriousness.
Perhaps it was because they haven't met in a year,but he thought that the way she was acting was a bit unnatural,it made it feel a bit uncomfortable.
"Sorry,my answer is still the same."
He gave a blank look before leaving.
A chapt in the midst of my exams.Another character has appeared!
my parents are having an argument as I'm writing this:') Sometimes I just wish my dad is more understanding but it's not like it's all his fault.

Fanfic"That's your locker?" "Yeah,I don't use it though." "Why not?" "Isn't it obvious why?" He took a step closer to me,examining my features.The smile turned into a smirk as he leaned towards my ear, whispering in a low voice "Then... use it from now on...
