Chorong's POV

I scratched my head. Class is over. I used to immediately leave for home after class before until I got that part-time job. And now that Tiffany eonnie said that I shouldn't come today, I felt like something is missing.

Maybe..

Just maybe..

..because I won't have an excuse to see Kris today.

I realized that even though I wanna avoid him, and all I feel is hurt whenever I see him, I still miss him.

Miss him enough that it's okay for me to see him just passing by our classroom like before.

Yet I haven't seen him pass by recently. I really wonder why.

Is he also avoiding me?

Was he really pissed off yesterday?

Thinking about it last night, well, I guess it really disappointed him that I chose going with Tao after he saved me last time.

But what makes me sad is that..

He is disappointed not because he likes me to go with him.. sincerely.. but because Tao won over him in some petty thing like this.

Haist! Jinjja! What's going on with me?!

I used to be sad about this over Tao. And now, I am feeling hurt about this over Kris -- the person I detest the most.

How I wish I could turn back to my old self.

The girl crushing on Tao would be better than the girl in loved with Kris.

And now I detest myself more.

"Chorong-ah!" Eunji called me. She's with Chanyeol --- who is in complete basketball uniform.

I examined Chanyeol from head to foot. "Yah! That uniform looks good on you." I complimented.

He smiled scratching his head. "Gomapda, chingu --- OUCH!"

Haha. That was Eunji giving him a slap on the back of his head.

"Park Chanyeol." said Eunji with hands on her waist. "Don't be too happy that the uniform looks good on you. You have to go out in the court and play, and not just sit on the bench giving your teammates water."

Chanyeol pouted.

I giggled watching them.

I miss this two.

Made me realize.. how long have I been concentrating on my problem that I forgot to bond with my friends?

"Wait. Why are you in full gear?" I asked.

They looked at each other in confusion. I also looked at them in confusion.

"Chorong-ah." Eunji stared at me in a serious mode.

"Hmm?"

"Where have you been?"

"Huh?"

"Everyone in this school is in the gym right now trying to find a good spot to watch the most awaited basketball game of the year and then.."

"Tsk. Tsk." Chanyeol continued. "Are you even here the whole time when people are talking about it? You seem lost."

"Eh?"
