viii. another admirer.

*cheong-san pov, behind the school*

it's been 4 weeks since i got rejected by su-hyeok. we're still friends of course, but not as close anymore. he still does everything he did before but doesn't talk to me as much. i came around the school to cry. yes, cry. i was still upset about it.

youre probably wondering about my knee? it's still not good but i can manage. so, i sat down and cried.

"tch, what are you crying for?"

i look up, not recognizing the voice. who was that?

gwi-nam?

i wipe my tears, trying to stand back up.

"what are you crying for?", he said walking over to me.

i pushed the top of my head back down, sitting me down.

"it's nothing.", i said.

"it's obviously something if your crying, idiot."

i just glared at him for a second, putting my head back down.

he sits next to me, putting his arm around me, rubbing my shoulder.

i felt a little better. but i was still upset.

"crying about some girl or boy?"

"i got rejected."

"sad.", he said looking at me

i just looked down at my knee brace, wanting to cry again.

"hey, hey, don't cry. crying isn't going to do anything."

"but-"

"don't cry, it's not worth it."

"youre right... but, it hurts.", i said.

"i understand. but, is crying going to help anything?"

"no."

"okay, then.", he said.

gwi-nam got up, putting his hand out. i grabbed his hand, slowly getting up.

"well, thanks for talking to me."

"mhm.", he hummed, putting his hands in his pockets.

"well, class is about to start... we should get going.", i stated

"okay, let's go then."

*cheong-san pov, in class*

i sat where i usually sat, in the back as always. when su-hyeok was going to sit next to me, gwi-nam sat down instead.

su-hyeok looked at the other male, kind of surprised.

"i'm sitting here today, buddy."
