Chaewon's pov

1 quickly went towards the bathroom. I don't know why but my whole body feels so hot. I'm fully aware that the air conditioner inside is at its full volume. And I'm pretty sure I'm fine since this morning. I went to the sink and wash my face with cold water. I can feel the heat rising up to my cheeks.

What's wrong with that dog? Why is she dancing like that? And why is she staring at me while making those sexy moves?

"Wait. Why am I affected?" I said to myself as I stare at my flushed face at the mirror. I shook my head rapidly, hoping that this feeling would leave the hell out of me. I splashed some water again towards my face.

"You're just surprised Chaewon. And that dog is just teasing you. You know she loves goofing around." I whispered to myself. I took my hanky out and wipe my face. I make sure that I don't look like a mess before heading out of the bathroom.

My eyes furrowed instantly when I saw that rat lurking again around Yunjin. When will this girl stop?

Seems like Yunjin's having a hard time, her awkward face says it all. I walk slowly towards them and seems like I got Yunjin's attention quickly because she suddenly look at my direction and the look on her face became brighter.

"Hey Chaecahe. Ready to go?" I said not minding the annoying rat beside her. Yunjin nodded cheerfully and went towards me.

"Yah. Oppa. Where are you going?"

I scoffed hearing Yizhuo's aegyo. So she think she's being cute when she's doing that? Can someone tell her that it doesn't fucking suits her. And why the hell she's calling Yunjin an oppa?

"Oppa? Really? Yah. When did Yunjin became a guy?" I said and rolled my eyes on her.

"She's too handsome for a girl. And why do you care anyways?" Yizhuo replied.

I saw Yizhuo roll her eyes on me which made me furious. This girl have the guts to do that. I was about to jump at her and pull that freaking eyes of her out of its socket but Yunjin wrapped her arms around my waist and lift me away from the rat.

"Yah! Let me go! I have to teach that rat a lesson!" I protested but Yunjin ignored me and just keep on dragging me away.

Yunjin just let go of me when I finally got tired and finally calm down. I noticed that we are at the school's garden.
Yunin drag me all the way out here? Unbelievable. I slouch myself at a bench near us.

"What's with the face Chaechae?" I heard Yunjin say and took a sit beside me.

"Tsk. Why did you drag me away from that rat?!" I yelled but Yunjin just only laugh.

"Is there something funny? That Yizhuo needs to know her place. She even called you oppa! What the fuck. And have you seen how she roll her eyes on me? The guts of that girl to that. Aish! You shouldn't carry me away!" I complained.

Yunin send me a soft smile and lean closer to me. I went speechless and my eyes grew wide as the space between us lessen. She stare at me right into my eyes and cup my cheeks. Her touch made me flinched a little.

"I don't want you to hurt yourself, Chaechae." Yunjin said softly and still wearing that sweet smile of her. I quickly push her hand away as I'm starting to feel something weird. Yunjin laugh once again and leaned her back at the bench.

"Anyway, why did you disappear all of a sudden? I was looking for you." Yunjin asked. I was taken aback at Yunjin's sudden question. I bit my lips, thinking how I would answer her question.

"I-I went t-to the bathroom." I said. Wait, why I'm stuttering? It's really true that I went to the bathroom right after Yunjin's dance.

"Oh. Okay." Yunjin casually said.

Both of us went silent, only the rustling of the leaves, and chirping of the birds can be heard. I took a deep breath and enjoy this kind of atmosphere. It's been a while since I feel this kind of peace. I looked at Yunjin and saw her wearing a blank expression.

"Jen? Is there something wrong?" I asked. Yunjin look at me when she heard my voice. Her eyes soften but it didn't last long.

"Come on. What's bothering you?" I asked once again.

"Well, uhm... there was this guy, h-he asked me for your number." She said.

"Who is it?"

"Actually, you know him. He's a member of the crew."

My eyes widened when Yunjin said that he's a member of the crew. There's someone who popped out at my mind. Is it him?

"Tell me his name." I excitedly said. Yunjin turn her head towards me.

"Is it...."

"Yes. It's him. Jung Jaehyun."

Yunjin's pov

"Yes. It's him. Jung Jaehyun."

Chaewon's eyes twinkle when I finally said his name. I tried my best not to show to her that I'm being affected right now. But seeing how happy she is, she might didn't notice it. I was wondering, does her eyes twinkle like this whenever she heard my name?

Of course it don't.

I'm just her best friend after all...

"Oh my God. You're not joking right?" Chaewon said. She's trying her best to stay still.

"I see. You're not excited." I said trying to mask out the pain right now.

"I-I don't know how to feel! Can you imagine, Jung Jaehyun asked for my number?" Chaewon squealed.

Well who wouldn't act like this if you heard that your crush is asking for your goddamn number? Yes, he is Chaewon's crush. She keeps on asking me what's his name when she saw him practicing with us last time. I always told her that I don't know who he is but apparently Chaewon have her ways to find out who he was. And when she did? I always catch her staring him with dreamy eyes whenever she has a chance.

"Did you gave it to him?" Chaewon asked curiously.

"Hell no." I said straightly.

"Bummer! Why didn't you gave it to him?" Chaewon said and smacked my arm.

"That hurts! If he's really a man, he would ask it by himself." I said while rubbing the part where she hit me.

"Why does it seems like you're not happy? Or maybe
I'm just imagining things." Chaewon said.

I divert my attention away from her, scared that I might expose my true feelings. I can't stand seeing Chaewon smiling because of someone else instead of me. Sakura and Kazuha came and I can't help but wonder where they went. When I bump into Yizhuo, this two left me without saying anything.

"What's with her?" Kazuha said when she saw Chaewon smiling like there's no tomorrow.

"Don't mind her. She's possessed." I said and stood up.

"Let's go guys. I'II treat you some ice cream." Chaewon happily offered. She's humming a song while skipping her way out of the campus leaving the two girls beside me in a deep confusion.

"Yun, why is she acting like that?" Sakura eyes while staring at the happy cheetah.

"What would you feel if your crush suddenly asked for your number?"

"I might get crazy like what Chae is right now."

"And that answers your question, cat."

"You mean, that guy?" Kazuha asked. I just nodded in response. Sakura looked at me with concerned eyes and patted my shoulder.

"Are you okay?" She asked. I furrowed my eyebrows after hearing what she said. Did they know that I have a thing for Chaewon? Did they know that I am gay?

"Of course I am. Why I wouldn't be?" I lied.

The two of them just nodded and run their way toward Chaewon, leaving me behind, staring at my best friend. Her gummy smile of hers, I wish I was the reason.

'I'm okay."

I whispered to myself, convincing that I really am, before fastening my pace to catch up to them.
