Hana's POV:
_____________________________

I somehow made it to Tuesday.

I had forgotten how many classes Yeonjun and I shared.

After another long test, Ms. Jeong gave us the rest of the class to do whatever we wanted.

So I pulled out my phone to play games.

Something caught my attention out of the corner of my eye-

I lifted my gaze and saw Yeonjun sitting with Lee Keonhee, Chung Hyerin, Hwanwoong, and Jiwoo.

-first red flag should've been who he hangs out with.

I paid no attention because they were just casually talking.

But I couldn't help but look up from time to time.

At one point, Jiwoo and I made eye contact, so I awkwardly smiled at her.

She smiled back, but as soon as she went back to their conversation, things seemed to get heavier.

I couldn't hear exactly what they were talking about, but the one thing I did pick up was ".... Hana... a long line... good luck..." and laughter afterward.

Just as I looked again, Yeonjun stood up and walked out of the classroom.

"What's up with him?" I could hear Jiwoo whisper in a hushed tone.

Whatever, it's none of my business.

I quickly ran down the stairs, looking for Chaeyoung outside.

It was dismissal, and I wanted to see her before I went-

"Hana!" Someone's familiar voice called out my name.

I turned around and Yeonjun rushed down the stairs after me.

I couldn't pretend I didn't see him anymore because he was right in front of me.

I anxiously looked around for Chaeyoung, but all I could see was people staring.

"I've been meaning to tell you something" Yeonjun caught his breath.

"Can it wait? I have to go somewhere-"

"It's important" Yeonjun cut me off.

I started to step away, "Just text me whatever you want to tell me".

"What's so urgent you can't listen for 2 seconds?" Yeonjun asked loud enough for everyone to stare again.

"What do you care-" As I stepped back, I bumped into someone.

I turned around to apologize, and realized it was Donghyun.

"I've been looking for you, come on" He flashed me a charming smile.

Donghyun slowly grabbed my hand and intertwined his fingers with mine.

I could feel, not just Yeonjun's stare, but everyone else's around me.

I wanted to melt and disappear into the ground.

"Oh- Hi, Yeonjun" Donghyun looked over at Yeonjun.

I built up the courage to look up, and I mouthed "Bye" to Yeonjun as Donghyun dragged me away.

Donghyun opened the car door for me, and we drove off.

"How was your day?" Donghyun asked me.

"The usual" I blandly responded, "Where are we going?".

"It's a surprise" I could see Donghyun smile.
