"Here." he gave me a bunch of papers.
"I'm sorry, I know that it's late, and that I'm the reason why your grades went down. I was searching and writing this till I went here."
"You didn't have to do that..."
I looked down because I blushed a little bit.
"I did,"
He put his hand on my chin and raised my hand so he could be looking into my eyes.
"because it was for you."

Shit.
Nobody ever got me blushing like that.

"I-I have to go." I pulled away
I came to my door.
"See you tomorrow!" I went inside.
He waved at me.
I ran to my room, I took a pillow and screamed.

Fuck.
I think that I'm starting to like that bastard.

The next days were different. I did understand the studies more, I wrote more notes, I was less distracted, and I spent less time with Minho. I'm happy that I finally understand the studies, but there is a small, uncomfortable feeling inside me.

I think that I'm missing Minho.

Actually, the only conversations we are having these days are two word long, "Hi." I miss talking to a friend.
I'm feeling lonely.
Wake up, go to school, be at school, go home, study, go sleep. And this over and over for almost 4 weeks! And on weekends, I'm visiting my grandma or study.
But, I can't miss Minho, I don't like him.
Not even just a little bit.
Maybe I'm just lonely. I should try talking to Yujin and Winter. I'm barely seeing them. We don't have many lessons together and these days I'm going  to lunch 1 hour later than usual. When I came to school, I saw them next to the lockers. I wanted to talk to them, but I'd heard their conversation.
"Did you see Soojin in these weeks?" Yujin asked Winter. "No, she's probably with Minho. I don't care. She can do whatever she wants. She should be with someone she enjoys spending time with." I just came to my locker and acted like I didn't hear them.
"Hello," I waved at them and smiled. "Hi!" they smiled at me back. I'm not angry at them. They didn't mean it bad for me. They just want me to be happy. And I want the same for them. Maybe I don't really feel that lonely. Maybe I'm just missing Minho. But I don't think that I can talk to him. I have 2 exams this week, and my dad is coming home for the weekend.
So, after a few lessons, I tried to go There. Not to talk with Minho, just going there. I can study there.
But does he miss me too?
What am I thinking. He has his own friends.

I came to the door. I took a deep breath. My next lesson is music and we're having an exam, so I took the notes.
I opened the door.
Guess who was sitting there.
Minho.
"Hi," I closed the door.
"Aren't you having lunch now?" he asked.
"No."
I sat down and started reading notes.
"Thank you for the notes. They're helping me so much."
"I see."
He didn't show any emotion while talking to me.
I was reading the notes while Minho was sitting next to me. When I finally read them, I stood up and looked at Minho.
"You're going? We're writing a test now." He just silently stood up. I opened the door and went out of There. He too.

We came to our class.
Nobody was there, except for us. We still had 20 more minutes.
"Are you happy now?" he asked mw after a minute of silence.
"What?" I looked at him.
He was already looking at me.
"You're finally having good grades. That's what you dreamed of. It must make you happy."
"Yes," I smiled a little bit "but I've never said that I'm dreaming of it."
"And does ignoring your friends make you happy too?"
"What?" I wasn't expecting that. But he didn't answer me because the bell started ringing and people started coming to the classroom.

Ignoring my friends? What did he mean by that?

Our teacher gave us the papers.
Oh, right, we're having an exam.
I looked at the first question, still confused. 'Name 5 musical instruments that we can hear in 'Carmina Burana' by Carl Orff.'
Shit, I can not focus at all.
The only thing I can think of is about what Minho said earlier.
The only musical instrument that came into my mind was piano. I wrote it down even through I knew that it won't be right and enough. The next question was 'What's the definition of expressionism'.
I knew that it's such a primitively easy question, but I didn't know the answer.

I felt a lot of stress inside. Because of what Minho said earlier and because my dad ia coming home and I'm just writing an exam. Plus everyone will think that I'm dumb, if I'll fail an exam.
I felt so bad at the moment.
Everything around me started becoming darker and darker.
I almost couldn't move.
I couldn't think.
I had an anxiety attack.
I started taking deep breaths. It wasn't helping me a lot.
Then I just couldn't stand it anymore.
I quickly took my bag and ran away.
I was so fast, that nobody could tell me something. I went home by my legs.
I couldn't wait for a bus.
I quickly went to my room and closed the door.
I was tired, nervous, everything.
But not alright.
I took my headphones, lay on bed, and  started listening to BTS.

After some hours, I was finally feeling better.
But now, I have a lot to do.
Talk to the teacher about my exam and I really hope that she'll allow me to rewrite it.
I can't have problems with grades when dad's coming for the weekend.
And talk things out with Minho, of course. 
I must get out of trouble I'm in.

Heyy

This chapter is also a bit special because Stray Kids released a new album today!

What are your thoughts?
What's your favourite song?

I really like the album, I think that it's one of their best albums.

I'm not sure which is my favourite song, yet. But my today's mood is 'So good'.

I really enjoyed this day!
(not just because of the album, but yes, mainly)

I woke up at 5a.m. today!
Because I thought that SKZ would release the album at 1p.m. KST, but it was at 2p.m. KST!
But still, I don't regret it.
I'm actually laughing at it.

Thank you for reading this, and I'm sorry that it took me so much to release a new chapter.
I will try to release new chapters more regularly in 2025.
Yes, this is the last chapter in 2024.

So, I wish you a Merry Christmas,a lot of happiness and health, and a happy new year!

See you next year!
