Act of Benevolence

04

Hobak was stressing through school the entire week, and there wasn't anyone else who was asking her to go to the fair with her.

If she does choose to go with Jaehyun, will he still go with her?

"Yah! It's like ever since I got mad at you, you didn't speak to me the entire week!"

Hobak broke her thinking bubble to look up at her friend Eunhwa. "Oh, mad at what?"

Eunhwa stares at her friend."Mad that I said you can't go with Jaehyun!" The friend practically yelled in the hallway.

"Shh! You're gonna cause attention!" Hobak freaks out,

"Why? Is Jaehyun going to pop out of no wher-" her friend bumps into no other than Taeyong.

"Dude! Is the hallway not big enough for you?" Taeyong barks.

"Sheesh, don't talk to my friend like that!" Hobak faces Taeyong.

"What are you going to do about it? Cut my mouth?" Taeyong smiles,

"Yeah, cut off that smile of yours."

He drops his smile and his eyebrows are angrily arched,

Hobak suddenly remembered the day after she met Taeyong, she read the envelope. "Taeyong, about your sister-"

"Honestly, I just want to understand why we can't be friends and why you dig into my business?"

"Um, friends dig into each other's personal life." Eunhwa butts in.

"That's not what I meant, your friend here has a huge grudge against me." Taeyong points out,

"Does not!" Hobak crosses her arms, "Does to!" He argues back.

"Oi, you children, how about a casual hangout this weekend to get this off your chest?" Eunhwa offers.

"No." Taeyong coldly answered and walked away.

"Do you see why someone would have a grudge on him?" Hobak said walking away too.

Siyeon saw Taeyong curmudgeonly walk through the hallway, "Taeyongie!"

She rushed over, "What's up with your face? Don't look handsome as usual." She teased and he gives a light smile, but she feels the tension.

She observed his face as he opened his mouth to say something but he just exhales looking away.

"Do you want to hangout this weekend? At the mall? We need to talk."

Siyeon laughed only in response, "Sure, it's been a while that we hung out, so why not?"

Taeyong nodded and head off to his class.

As for Hobak, she was officially gonna tell Jaehyun her answer about the fair.

She excitedly look out in the hallways to see if he was there and she would tell him "yes" casually.

Unfortunately, Jaehyun was not anywhere to be found throughout the school, and she was losing confidence.

It was not hard for Jaehyun to just ask another girl after a couple of days.

Hobak went home dissatisfied and gloomily watched the streets of South Korea.

Hobak slammed her phone on the wall squealing and began jumping on her bed, and did I mention that she was screaming?

Hobak ran to the wall and counted to five to see her phone's face.

"Whew! Still okay!" She hops, and opened the messages after two minutes.
