❝Why do you like me?❞
The girl with the sparkling eyes asked.
❝Because you make me happy. And I want to make you happy too.❞ One said.

Aera's POV
I walked inside the campus and saw our group waving at me. "Choi Aera, where did you vanish yesterday?" Jay said out suspiciously as I looked at Sunghoon. The guy simply smiled at me as I hesitated to answer. Jake was also there staring intensely at me making me feel even more nervous. "I felt sick so went home." I crossed my fingers behind my back while lying. Maybe lying right now would be the better choice than causing issues between Jake and Sunghoon. But I noticed Jake's face drop as he sighed and walked to the classroom as we followed him.
"I have practice. I'll go now." Sunghoon bid us bye as he ran to the skating rink while the other went to their own classrooms. Jake and Jay walked ahead already settling as I entered my classroom only to hear people's whispered get louder. "Isn't she the girl who spread fake rumors of Jake and Sunghoon liking her?" So this is how today's going to go then, right? I bit my lips nervously walking ahead and took a seat as the bell rang while the teacher entered.
"You good?" Jay asked me as I nodded feeling uneasy by everyone's stares. Was i really good? No. My anxiety was killing me inside. I looked back to see a calm Jake doing his work as a paper ball hit me from another side. I opened the crumbled paper. "Go live in your fantasy world weirdo." It said out as I nervously crumbled it back to a ball and kept it inside my bag.
Jake's POV
It'd be a lie if I said I wasn't disappointed on Aera but the way the others were acting with her made me feel worse. I felt like I needed to protect her at all. No matter how sad I felt for other reasons. I noticed the students throwing paper balls at her as I glared at the back students. Having anger issues and seeing the girl I like get bullied by others were making me want to explode but I knew shouting at others right now wouldn't be helpful.
The class ended as Aera immediately stood up about to go to the washroom. On her way to the door a couple of boys and girls pushed her causing her to fall in front of them all. The entire class laughed as I noticed Jay was nowhere around. Gosh that guy.
Aera's POV
I held my bag tightly finding the need to protect myself at the moment. The students looked down at me laughing making my anxiety go very high as I started shaking. "Lmao you don't even look like a player. Why try to act like one? You're just making a fool out of yourself." The guy who pushed me laughed out along with his friends making me feel uneasy. "Gosh she isn't even that pretty. Jake and Sunghoon would never like her." The girls nodded in agreement as I felt my eyes water. It all reminded me of how my dad used to talk to me whenever I needed something. How he would always tell me I wasn't pretty. It took me so long to get rid of that mindset.
"Get away from her." A voice from behind said out as I noticed Jake walked towards me. "Bruh Jake you shouldn't be on her side-" but Jake cut the student who was trying to talk to him. "I said get away from her." He made himself clear as I got shivers heading his scary deep voice. The students walked away a bit. "Tsk do you actually like her or what?" One of the boys asked out as Jake walked over to me. "Get up." He gave me a hand as I hesitated to hold it to get up. I was shaking, I didn't know what to do. Jake didn't wait any longer and pulled my hand making me stand up straight.
