"You can go first, I'll catch up," Jennie said to Jisoo while shoving all her stationary into her bag. Jisoo quickly catches her order, and she bid goodbye to Jennie before she continues walking away from her sight.

Jennie let out a single sigh as she zips her bag and hangs it on her right shoulder. As she was about to walk out of the classroom, a familiar figure was seen walking towards her direction. Jennie suck her throat as she realizes it was Taeyong.

She thought that guy has left the classroom earlier. So seeing him again it's a bit weird. He looks like he got an unfinished business left.

Jennie decided to ignore him. She knows once she bothered him it will backfire.

Jennie thought by looking down and walking past him would be a good safe.

"You're going home?" as expected. The guy who didn't know how to stay quiet started an action that could lead to an interaction between them. Which is something, Jennie wants to escape.

Jennie let out a heavy sigh as she replied with a nod. She wishes the conversation would end there. But it didn't. Jennie continue to walk away as she was being followed by Taeyong right behind her.

Everything stays as it is until the two of them reached the main gate of the school. Jennie couldn't even see a glimpse of Jisoo, which made her situation even worse. She thought by bumping into Jisoo would free her from Taeyong.

"What do you want?" Being the impatient lady she is, Jennie started to go straight to the point. The two of them stopped walking.

"I have something to ask. I feel like if I didn't get an answer to this I wouldn't be able to sleep at night." Taeyong said, pointing out his intention.

"Do it now and we part ways after," Jennie said.

"Are you and Youngho in a relationship?"

Jennie was surprised to hear that from him.

Why would he care?

"Where the hell did you even get this information from?" Jennie asked him back. Taeyong's throat started to move as he swallows his saliva.

"Well, I saw you two together during the sports tournament day. You received a rose from him." Taeyong is not lying. Youngho ended up leaving a rose on Jennie's table after that. Jennie looked away, as she was trying to avoid answering his question.

"Are you disappointed with it?" Jennie asked.

"What?" Taeyong asked back.

"Well, he did tell me that your group friend quit giving roses out to people because of you and your 'sob story'," Jennie said, lifting both her two fingers and folding them as a joke.

"You knew about that?" Taeyong asked again.

"I told you I knew about this from Youngho."

Taeyong looked down, cursing Youngho under his breath.

"I'm going. Don't follow me." Jennie simply said, taking a step backwards before turning her whole body to leave Taeyong behind. She wished that the guy would follow her order and walk the opposite way.

But no, she realized she was again walking right beside her.

"Can you please stop following me like a moron?" Jennie busted out, and it made Taeyong surprised.
