the following day
approached in a bliss.

i head outside, although
it was surprising that
eunwoo wasn't there.

i was curious of where
he was, perhaps still asleep?

instead, i dialed his number
only to get an answering
machine in response.

groaning, i walk to his house nearby
and anticipated in knocking.

it took a lot of courage to knock,
and his eomma opens the door.

she greets me warm heartedly.

"morning sunshine,
what brings you here?"
she asks sweetly.

"i was wondering if
eunwoo is still there?"
i ask.

"actually he left quite
early for a meeting."
she says.

"oh alright, thank you."
I say.

she nods in response,
bidding a little goodbye,
i turn my heel around and
started walking to school.

i arrive at school with
an empty presence,
remembering that the
rest of the boys were involved
in the meeting as well.
therefore, i walked alone
while many stared from afar.

"well, looks like
you're alone today."
yerin smirked.

"well, seems like
you're still an outcast."
i scoffed while she glared.

"you bitch!!"
she exclaimed.

she pried to bring her hand
across my face, but failed.

"aish, just wait.
eunwoo won't be
yours for too long."
she bickers,
walking away angrily.

every time i encounter her,
my blood starts to boil.
she was my bully, but i
learned to defend myself.
therefore, she can no longer
outsmart me with her
attitude and baits.

walking away, i head towards
my class and was greeted by
yoo ri and jimin.

"it seems so lonely today.
none of the boys are here."
says jimin.

"they have a meeting
this morning."
i reply.

i glance at yoo ri whom
had an awfully gloomy aura.

"yoo ri, wussup?"
i ask.

"i think she's affected
by bin's absence."
jimin says and yoo ri glares.

i chuckle lightly.

"they'll be back soon."
i say.

then our teacher walks
in the class, a smile
spread across her face.

"regarding the announcement,
we will be heading to jeju for
our class field trip."
she exclaimed.

yoo ri, jimin and i exchanged
glances at one another.

"along with class A-2."
she says.

my mood escalated
real quick, thinking
that yerin and her
slaves are coming along.

then the thought of
the boys being able to
go came across my mind.

"i hope the boys can go."
yoo ri says.

"i hope so too."
i reply.

lunch arrived and the
astro members rushed
in the cafeteria.

"jagi, i'm sorry. i couldn't call
nor message you, it was rushed."
eunwoo stated with a pout.

"it's alright, your
mom told me."
i say while he planted
a kiss onto my forehead.

from the corner of my eyes
i noticed that yerin was glancing
at both eunwoo and i.

i glare at her while
she looks away.

that's right,
she better look away.

"noona, are you okay?"
sanha questions.

i smile in response.

we were all sat peacefully,
coming up with random topics.

"A1 and A2 are going
on a trip to jeju."
jimin announces,
surprising the boys.

"really? i can't wait!"
mj exclaims.

"we might not
be able to go."
bin says.

"why?"
yoo ri blurts.

"due to our promotions
and upcoming performances."
he replies.

the table became silent.

"can't you ask your manager?"
i ask.

"cross our fingers,
he'll say yes."
rocky says.

"we'll be going ahead."
eunwoo says, intertwining
our fingers while we walk out.

the last thing i heard was,

"are you still in that
unrequited love?"
