I'm walking down the hallway, sad that I have to be alone because I still haven't seen Haerin, and Hyunseo's at the auditorium performing her Glee performance when I see Hanni again, a bounce in her step when she looks at me with sparkling eyes.

I have to stop walking a bit because can this be true?

Can she be publicly greeting me? That's impossible.

It's only been four days. Is that all the time she needs? Could it be possible?

I take a deep breath and let a smile grace my lips, my arm going up to wave at her as she waves back, and I'm sighing, the love surrounding my body when she gets nearer and nearer, and when she's right there in front of me, I'm about to say hi when all of a sudden, she continues to walk past me, the air leaving my lungs and going with her as I'm left cold and alone.

"Hey girls," she greets the people that must be behind me, the reason why I thought she was smiling towards me when really, it was those people in the back.

I shake my head to get rid of the rejection as I close my eyes and pout, feeling my tears pool as I tell myself not to look back because it'll only hurt more.

I mean, not hurt as in what she used to do to hurt me, but a hurt that'll make me know even more that we can't be together, that we're only going to be friends and just that.

Sighing, I duck my head down in rejection for that embarrassing moment and walk away, wanting nothing more than to be with Haerin because I'm worried about her and I also need her more than anything right now.

Maybe I'll tell her about me and Hanni. Maybe.

What I completely missed, though, was Hanni turning back to face me with regret in her eyes, almost wanting to reach out and pull me into a hug.

Maybe I should've turned around. I don't know.

I pick up Hyunseo from the auditorium, and we walk in the direction of our class together, only stopping when a familiar face goes to stand before us, a sweet smile taking her features as Hyunseo narrows her eyes on her suspiciously.

"Ahyeon?" I greet, a small smile playing on my lips for seeing the girl I haven't really talked to since Breadstix.

She waves shortly at me and giggles.

"Hey Minji, and—" she turns to Hyunseo and tucks a shy strand of hair behind her ear. "—I'm sorry, who are you?" she gestures to my friend.

Hyunseo clears her throat and offers a hand that Ahyeon takes immediately, shaking it nicely. "Lee Hyunseo."

Ahyeon hums and smirks at her. "Ah, the glee girl." She quotes, making Hyunseo frown for a moment before smiling again.

"I've seen you perform. You have a lovely voice."

This time Hyunseo blushes furiously, probably flustered at the fact a cheerleader is complimenting her.

I roll my eyes and cock my hip to the side as I giggle at Ahyeon's attempts.

"Alright, alright—we all know you can charm anyone's pants off." I tease, missing the way she looks down at my crotch briefly before laughing along with me.

"But Hyunseo's straight, so poor you."

Ahyeon shakes her head and grins at me with her sparkling white teeth.

"Oh no, I wasn't intending on flirting with her—you know I only have my eyes on you, Minji." She coos, making me blush at how forward she was with her words.
