Knowing Ms. Know-it-all (TXT Taehyun X Female OC X Enhypen Jay)

Ch. 51: Fighting For You

"Heejin... Heejin! Heejin, wait!"

"Get away from me, you idiot!"

"Heejin!"

Once again, somehow, a familiar scene from one of Taehyun's first days in the school was happening in the hallways. And as usual, Heejin is walking away from him, angry and frustrated, and Taehyun is running after her, trying to explain.

But what exactly could even be the reason now, anyway? Didn't the two already break up some time ago? Or maybe the boy messed up somewhere and had now caused a conflict to form between the two of them?

Either way, none of these speculations would ever even reach the two arguing teens since they're way too absorbed by the conflict between them.

"Heejin–" Taehyun calls her name out one more time as he almost reaches her, stretching his hand out to take hers, but right before he could, Heejin pulls her hand away, and she turns around and points a threatening index finger straight at Taehyun's face.

"Don't ever play with my feelings again or else I won't hesitate to break that face of yours," Heejin speaks with a low voice, but one firm enough to let Taehyun know she isn't kidding.

To that, Taehyun freezes, hands in the air as he watches her cautiously. He only moves again when Heejin finally turns around and walks away, and the boy is left to hiss in annoyance while contemplating whether he should continue running after her or not.

But then again, how should he even explain himself when he doesn't know what exactly to explain? Does Heejin actually like him, too? But then what exactly did he even say to make her upset?

Unfortunately for him, he just had to forget.

"Ah, what an idiot." Meanwhile, Jiwoo, who just so happened to come across the scene as she was on her way to their classroom, shakes her head and sighs before continuing on her way. A small smile is on her face,though, but it soon fades as she breathes in and out deeply upon remembering the issue she has to face. "But then again, who am I to talk? At least, that kid was able to face her. On the other hand, I..." Her voice trails off before she continues walking to her classroom.

It's been three days since she broke up with Yunhwan and shared a kiss with Heeseung. Still, despite all that time, she hasn't exactly talked to or even seen Heeseung since that night. Not that she had changed her mind or anything, but she was definitely feeling nervous for a handful of reasons.

And the main reason? How exactly was she going to face Heesung now after that kiss they shared? Nothing much was said after that, so how exactly is she supposed to see him? To put it simply, at this point, what are they even?

Jiwoo slid the door open upon reaching the classroom, only to widen her eyes in the next second when she meets a pair of doe-eyes, also wide and looking back at her. "H-huh? Hee–"

All of a sudden, Heeseung grabs her arm and pulls her inside, hiding her from any prying eyes that may be watching them from the hallways. Jiwoo stumbles for a moment, but Heeseung supports her, and when the girl finally regains her balance, she looks back up at the boy that had pulled her inside to see a bashful smile on his face.

"... Hi," Heeseung breathes out as he slowly lets go of Jiwoo, now keeping his hand in his pocket instead.

Now what exactly are these two teens even supposed to do now? As it seems, even Heeseung doesn't know how to move forward from what they've accomplished in their last meeting.

But he can't exactly just deny what he feels anymore. With the classroom empty and no words being exchanged between the both of them, Heeseung can only bet that Jiwoo can hear his heart pounding as he stands before her. The sunlight streaming in does wonders to his heart, too, making his chest feel warm with the feelings he is just about ready to pour onto the girl in front of him.
