Jungkook's POV 

After lying for like ten minutes with his face buried into my pillow, Tae finally turned around on his back. His cheeks still had a pink glow and he was still not looking at me. 

“Are you shy?” I asked smiling. 

He turned his face to the other side and muttered something. 

“Uhm..? What did you say?” I asked. He suddenly flinched and shot up from the bed as someone knocked on our door. 

“C'mon guys, open the door,” Eunwoo's voice was heard from outside the door followed by another knock and Tae left a sigh. He probably thought it was Warden. He was really afraid Mr. Jung would come and catch us here during school time. 

“Coming!” I shouted and crawled out of the bed. I looked at the clock as I walked to the door and found the time 5: 40 pm. Oh! It's this late? Then where was Eunwoo until now? 

I opened the door and Eunwoo walked in. He had a plastic bag hanging from his hands and his school bag slung on his shoulders. 

“Where did you go after class?” I asked him. 

“Gayoung had asked her Dad to send her a dress for the ball. We were waiting for it and then when she got it, she found the dress I'm going to wear not matching with hers. Then, at last, we went to buy a new Tuxedo for me. Here..” he raised the plastic bag in his hands. 

“I see. What colour?” I asked. 

“White. Her frock is light blue,” He replied. 

I wanted to ask him why he finally decided to go to the ball with Gayoung. I turned around to see whether Tae is still sitting on the bed and found he is not. He is now standing in the balcony, looking at the opposite row of dorms. Probably he didn't want Eunwoo to see his flushed face. 

“Dude, I want to ask you something important,” I said, turning back to Eunwoo. 

“I know what it is,” he chuckled. 

“Let's go out and talk?” I asked. I didn't want Tae to learn Eunwoo has a crush on Gabriel. 

“Yeah, sure.” Eunwoo nodded. 

“Tae, we are outside in the corridor, okay?” I called out to Tae. 

“Oh, okay,” he responded, turning around. I nodded to him and then walked out of the room with Eunwoo. 

“Yes, so why did you ask Gayoung to the ball?” I asked him after we stepped into the corridor. 

“I felt like asking her. And I thought she actually wanted me to ask her,” He replied. 

“So, what about your crush on Gabriel? Or you just lied to me that you have a crush on her?” I asked. 

“No..uhm..l didn't exactly lie. Yeah, I felt a kind of attraction towards Gabriel. But I don't want to date her or anything,” he said, shifting his weight on his legs. 

“Oh..” I frowned. “Why?”

“Cause it won't work. We are too different,” he replied.

“Okay, so you still like Gayoung?” 

He ruffled his hair before replying. “Of course, I like her. It's just, sometimes I can't understand her. I feel so confused. And I get mad. That's what happened at the amusement park. And she teased me for being afraid of heights. So, I ignored her and started going to the rides that Gabriel suggested. But then I felt like I was feeling attracted to Gabriel."
