Two-faced

- her crush -

[ the next day ]

Things are a bit different between me and Jacob. A good different. As in, he treats me like we've been friends for a long time. We even text. As much as it pains me to say it, I owe Sunwoo thanks.

After school I roam the empty hallways looking for a place to work on homework.

Instead I come across a classroom that i peak through the windows.

I furrow my eyebrows when I see Jia sitting on one of the desks and Sunwoo in front of her. Their lips are connected and she's running her hands through his curly hair.

I nearly throw up, I feels like it was a crime to witness that. Of course he would be doing stuff like this. Jesus what a model student he is.

I roll my eyes and am about to walk away when Sunwoo pulls back from her abruptly. I can't help but watch the scene unfold.

"Wait." Sunwoo says, and Jia frowns at him.

"What is it?" She asks.

"I can't- I can't do this anymore." Sunwoo says.

Jia scoffs, "you say that like you're breaking up with me or something."

"No it's not that I just-"

"What. Did you fall in love for real or something?" She crosses her arms.

"Just- doesn't this feel wrong to you?" He asks.

"Why are you asking this now? When we've been doing this for 6 months?"

"That's my point! We've been doing this for half a year and neither of us developed feelings! There's something seriously wrong with us." Sunwoo says in frustration.

"Listen. There is no 'us' and there never has been. It was your idea to start these little meet ups. I was just agreeing to help you temporarily until my boyfriend gets back from the military. So if you wanna end this be my guest." Jia says.

"I'm sorry." Sunwoo apologizes.

"You don't have to be sorry to me. Be sorry to yourself that even making out with a girl like me couldn't make you feel love." Jia tosses her hair and grabs her purse. Before she exits the room she turns to him. "Good luck. I genuinely wish you luck."

I quickly hide behind the corner as Jia leaves the classroom and walks down the hallway. As soon as the clicking of her heels disappears I peak back into the classroom. I'm conflicted with emotions.

And apparently so is Sunwoo.

"Fck," he swears, and kicks a chair out of the way. But when I get a glimpse of his face I see frustration rather than anger. 

I realize I better get out of here before Sunwoo sees me- who knows what he's like when he's frustrated.

[11:54 pm]

I toss and turn in bed. I cant stop thinking about what I witnessed.

So Sunwoo and jia were hooking up after school sometimes to see if they caught feelings for each other? I don't get it, why is it such a struggle for him to feel flustered or to be loved? I know he's a jerk but most jerks have feelings right? And he watches romance dramas too. He's so confusing.

I don't know why I'm worrying so much though. Not like I care about his personal life.

I cant stand the silence of my room anymore so I climb down the bunk bed and leave my dorm.

I find myself in the courtyard entrance. I walk into the grass area with pretty trees and benches. The fairy lights are on all night making it seem magical.
