There. I said it. Now he'll leave me alone.

But to my surprise, he spoke.

"What?!"

Okay, he's dumber than I thought. Why is this guy so cliche?

"I just said I'm aromantic."

"No, no-- before that. You said you don't like me?"

I meekly nodded, and after a second he was laughing while slapping his stomach hard.

I frowned at him. What's so funny? I just said the biggest truth I have ever told someone and then he's like this?!

Oh.

Oh.

Realization hit me. I somehow felt a sense of deja vu.

Gosh, what was I thinking?!

I wasn't dumb enough to not know I was too dumb to assume that he likes me.

Damn the dumbness. My face became red, too embarassed that my feet worked on its own.

I ran away.

×××

"Yah, where have you been?"

"Ahh!" I yelped when someone whispered behind my ear. I turned around and began hitting the person in frustration.

"Argh, I'm so stupid!" I panted while hitting the person. I can't believe I can run so fast like that.

"Ya, ya, yah, Miyoung-ah! S-stop!" The person caught my brutal arms that stopped me from hitting the person. It was Haeseo.

I suddenly felt relief when I saw her. I hugged her to the point she was suffocating.

Goodness... I should've known he didn't! Now I had screwed everything up! I'll bring this embarassment with me 'til I die!

"M-Miyoung-ah, let go..."

What have I done to deserve this?!

"You're killing me..."

Was it because I had punched two guys?

"Miyoung! God, help me! Somebody!"

"Haeseo unnie!"

Someone pulled Haeseo away from me, but I couldn't care. I was shaking from head to foot, and all around me were moving.

I'll remember Kyungsoo's laughing face forever!

Ugh, I wish that I had amnesia...

"Unnie! Are you alright?" Hanri gave me a glass of water and I weakly accepted it and drank.

"K-Kyungsoo..." I said between pants.

"Huh?" The three looked at me, worried. Haeseo seemed to have recovered.

"Wait, is Kyungsoo the guy from yesterday?" Hyojin asked Hanri.

"I t-think so..." Hanri nodded.

"What about Kyungsoo, Miyoung-ah? Did he do something wrong?"

Oh God, I think I'm traumatised at hearing his name!

"H-he doesn't like me," I weakly said.

Their eyes bulged out of their sockets.

That was the last thing I saw before everything went black.

×××

"That fcker! How dare he hurt Miyoung-ah!"

I opened my eyes but the blinding light greeted me. I had to blink for a few times before my eyes could adjust to it.

Ugh. Where am I?

I looked around me. I began to realize I was in my bedroom, lying down on my bed with the triplets standing at my side. They all looked angry, their faces flushed red and brows furrowed. It seemed that they were deeply engaged in a conversation about someone that they didn't notice me.

My curiosity came in. Who's that fckr Haeseo's referring to? And how did I get here?

My head suddenly hurt and I gasped while wincing in pain. In my peripheral vision, their heads turned to me.

"Miyoung's awake!" They all approached me.

Awake? Have I fallen asleep? But the last thing I could remember is walking out of the class! How could I have slept outside the classroom?

Was that reasonable enough or am I playing dumb again?

The pain in my head doubled and I cried out.

"Argh..."

"Unnie! You need to calm down first. Relax, stop trying to remember what happened," Hanri soothed.

I did what Hanri told me to do and soon te pain was easing. "What happened to me?" I asked when the pain had fully subdued.

"You had a panic attack," Hyojin said.

I gawked at her in disbelief.

"Really?"

"Really," the three of them nodded all at once.

I was surprised. I never had a panic attack before. Why would I suddenly have one?

What exactly happened?

"I'm so gonna kill that Kyungsoo," Haeseo  clenched her fist.

I suddenly remembered everything the moment I heard the name.

Oh, goodness.

"Oh my gosh, I wanna die already..." I knew my cheeks were now gaining color, so I hid my face under the blanket.

"See!" Hyojin's voice boomed. "Miyoung's never been this shy. I hate him!"

I felt myself blush even more.

"If only I knew unnie was going to like someone as rotten as him, I would've erased his existence right before they met!" Hanri angrily exclaimed.

Yeah right, I wish you could turn back time to do that...

I sat up in no time, realizing what Hanri just said.

"W-what do you mean I like him? I don't--"

"Unnie, you don't have to hide it anymore. We're your best friends, remember? And besides, anyone could tell that you like him if they've seen you panic like that..." Hanri said with a kind smile, touching my hand gently.

I shook in embarassment. "No, no, no! You guys don't understand!"

They ignored me. "How dare he reject the Great Miyoung like that! He's gonna pay for this..."

"Oh no, guys, listen--" but the only thing that answered me was the slammed door.

They left to avenge me.

Oh my God, how wrong can this situation get?
