"thirdwheel"

I follow behind as the two walked next to eachother.

See? she didn't need me to come.

I thought as I force a smile to myself.

We walk up the stairs leading to the rooftop. He leads us to the back where no one will see us.

We sit down, i sit a bit distanced across from them.

I see him staring at me every now and then from the corner of my eye but, i just ignore it.

i sit down on my legs to get comfortable. I take my wired earphones from my pocket and plug it in my phone and start listening to music while scrolling through my phone.

They have small chats until Soyeon suddenly stands up. I get confused and remove one of my earbuds.

"I forgot my lunch, I'll be right back." Soyeon says.

"I'll com-" before jungwon could speak, soyeon already ran off.

He looks at me awkwardly and i look back, i break the eye contact by getting the bag bungeoppang out of my backpack. I take one out and chew on it as he watches me eat the bread with wide eyes.

I look at him with confusion waiting for him to speak, when he doesn't, i continue to scroll through my phone.

"Misun." He says.

I pause my chewing and stare at him.

"hm?"

he looks at the bungeoppang in my hand as i eat it.

He finally speaks, "Where'd you get those?" he points at the bag

I tilt my head, "Why? if you want one, you can just ask. I have a lot."

he takes one from the bag and tastes it then looks at me.

"where'd you get these though?" he says while chewing.

"I'm not telling you if you're not going to buy any." I mutter then turn back to my phone.

"why not?" he asks

"Because the lady made a lot and she wants it to sell, her grandson made some with her and plus, I don't think she'd like someone like you coming into her bakery."

he rolls his eyes at my comment.

I place my phone on the floor as i get another one.

"I bet her grandson is really nice, he bakes with her grandma. i think that's the cutest thing ever." I blabber while looking at the bread in astonishment.

I look back at him as he's eating the bread but turned to the side. His ears are red all of a sudden, he kind of looks, embarrassed?

"Is the bread that good?" I chuckle.

He looks at me, "You're talking a lot all of a sudden." he scoffs as he takes another bungeoppang.

"there's a lot to talk about." I say in a low tone.

He laughs a little bit.

I sigh and rub my belly, "Ah, i'm full." I fall down and lay on my back with my hands on my stomach.

I look at the sky and think.

Soyeon is taking an awfully long time.

"What are you listening to?" Jungwon says as he comes closer.

I sit up and he looks at my phone.

the song playing is 'I love you 3000' right now.

His eyes still glue onto my phone even after he's taken a look. I squint and see my notification bar.

*3 message notifications from...

I quickly snatch my phone from his sight and he looks at me in confusion.

i forgot he texted me in the morning, or i should say Soyeon.

"what?" he says.

"eh?"

he tilts his head then starts laughing.

"I like that song." he says

Phew

"yeah... it's quite popular." i mutter

The silence grew so i start looking at my phone again while hugging my knees.

i check his contact. Thank lord, his name is still 'unknown'.

"can you tell me the name of the bakery?" he speaks again.

"are you gonna buy?" i say

He nods.

"well i don't remember the name, but you'll see it if you walk on Guamri street" (a/n I made that up)

His eyes widen.

why is he so shocked?

i lean in to show him the sticker on the bag.

"It has the same logo as this sticker. It's on their sign, you'll recognise it." I point at the sticker while holding up the bag to show him.

He nods.

Someone clears their throat.

We both turn, it's Soyeon standing and looking at us with pursed lips.

"finally" i sigh.

She sits down, she also has bungeoppang in her hand and on on the other, she has a bag of pastries from the cafeteria.

jungwon looks at her pastries. "I thought you were getting your own lunch? why'd you need to go to the cafeteria again?"

"Oh um, i forgot mine." she says.

he scans her more, "isn't that the same bungeoppang we have here?" jungwon points at my bag of bungeoppang.

I look at Soyeon's then at mine in confusion, "wait, did you get that one from the boys?"

Jungwon's eyes drop to the floor, he looked sad when I said that.

Soyeon's face goes red as if she's guilty, "They just... gave it to me!" she looks away.

She looks up again, "what about you guys? seems like you've gotten close with him." her voice gets lower in the last sentence

I furrow my eyebrows, "He was just asking where i got the bread." I say.

She scoffs then continues to eat her bungeoppang.

I look at the time on my phone then at them, Soyeon looks back at me then lightly glares.

she was clearly mad at me.

A sudden wave of guilt rushed over my body, i shouldn't even have spoke to Jungwon in the first place, I know how much Soyeon likes him.

"I'm gonna go, i have things to do." I pack up my things and run off back to the class room before they could even reply.
