Smile flower | Joshua Hong

3

As you walk back to the classroom, you suddenly realize that you haven't seen Joshua around today.

You wonder why you're even thinking about him.

You haven't talked to him since the incident, and you don't plan on doing so anytime soon.

Iva notices the change in your expression,"What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost."

You shake your head, trying to push the thought of Joshua out of your mind. "Nothing, just a headache," you lie.

Dino looks at you skeptically but doesn't say anything.

You all walk back to the classroom in silence, lost in your own thoughts.

The class ends, and you get out of the university with your friends Dino and Iva waiting for Vernon.

Suddenly, you remember that you're mad at him for earlier.

It was his mistake too. He then comes out of his class with his friends Seungkwan and The8.

All of them say hi to you, and you reply to The8 and Seungkwan, ignoring Vernon.

Vernon is taken aback, and he tries to say something, but you don't give him the chance.

Seungkwan then saw the bandage on your knee, "What happened to your knee, Y/N? Are you alright?" he asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little scratch. Vernon has some part in doing this."

You look at Vernon, and he avoids your eyes."That's not cool, man." the8 says looking at vernon disapprovingly.

Dino and Iva try to lighten the mood, and they start talking about their plans for the weekend.

You listen to them, but your mind is still on Vernon.

You can't help but feel hurt and angry at him for what he did.

Seungkwan notices that you're not in the mood to talk, and he comes over to you. "Hey, Y/N. I'm sorry about what happened, he didn't meant to hurt you."

You look at Seungkwan, and you can see the sincerity in his eyes.

You take a deep breath and say, "I know he didn't mean to hurt me, but he still did. And he hasn't even apologized yet."

Seungkwan nods, "I understand. I'll talk to him and make sure he apologizes to you."

You smile at Seungkwan, and you feel a sense of gratitude towards him.

As you all continued walking, you couldn't help but feel frustrated with Vernon.

He had caused you to get hurt earlier that morning, and now he was walking behind you in silence.

Vernon remained silent, looking downcast.

Dino noticed his face and approached him. "It's okay, Vernon. Just say sorry to her. I know she will accept your apology. And give her one of her favorite chocolates, you know like icecream type of things,"

Vernon looked up at Dino, grateful for the idea. "Thanks, man. I appreciate that," he said, smiling at Dino.

Dino smiled back and patted Vernon on the back. "Don't be sad about these types of things. It happens."

As Vernon and Dino continued their conversation, you turned around and started talking to Seungkwan, Iva, and The8.

You told them about the whole situation that happened earlier with you today and laughed together, feeling grateful for their company.

Despite the earlier tension, you all continued walking together, enjoying the beautiful day and each other's company.

You felt grateful for your friends and happy to be spending time with them.

As you reached your destination, your friends waved goodbye, and you smiled and said you would take care.

"I want to know more about jos-" seungkwan stopped himself mid-sentence, realizing what he just said when you clearly told him not to say anything about him infront of Vernon.

The8 noticed the awkwardness and quickly intervened, holding Seungkwan's arms and shutting his mouth.

You were shocked but relieved that The8 had saved the situation. You realized you shouldn't have told Seungkwan about the incident with Vernon and Joshua, as he was known for being a bit of a blabbermouth.

Vernon turned around and waved goodbye, and you felt grateful that he hadn't overheard the conversation.

You thanked yourself for being cautious and signaled to Seungkwan that he was in trouble later.

As you walked into your home, you couldn't help but feel relieved that the day was over.

You made a mental note to be more careful about what you shared with Seungkwan in the future.

let's keep it slow for a while ;)
