INTROVERT

58.

It has been more than a week since Joohyun attended school. What has happened to her? Jimin wonders about that a lot. Not to deny, he cannot stop thinking about her. His worry gradually becomes bigger and bigger as the day goes by.

He misses her, he admits. But he still doesn't have the courage to call her number, or to text her about her whereabouts.

He thinks that he doesn't deserve to do that, after all this time of him ignoring that girl which he misses to talk to.

I never knew I would miss her this much.

He scrolls through the camera roll and smiles at the photos of her in his cellphone.

He took some of them secretly. When she's focused on her books, when she's asleep in the library because she waited too long for him to memorize a material, when she's eating her favorite kimbap in school, when she's laughing so hard at the dumb actions of every member of Running Man.

He just loves taking pictures of her because he thinks that she looks really cute in every moment that he has captured.

His eyes widen, his finger stops scrolling all of a sudden. He clicks on a picture and he halts at the sight of it.

The only picture of him with Joohyun smiling happily in front of a colorful night in the carnival. One of his hands was gripping onto a medium size Ryan doll, while she was holding an ice cream. They both made a 'V' with their fingers and smiled brightly.

He smiles at the memories. It was a good time.

Suddenly, he feels the students become noisy. He looks up and found the teacher comes in. He turns his head to the left and sees the seat beside Hani is still vacant.

He sighs.

-

"Two- one chocolate milk please." He stutters.

He sighs, staring at a carton of milk in his hand. Usually, he has two. One for him, one for Joohyun. But even after quite a long time, he keeps on mistaken the order.

As for Jooeun, she dislikes milk.

He walks out of the cafeteria, that's when he finds Hani's squad. But this time, instead of Hani, they bring along his childhood friend, Jooeun.

"I still try to call her every night, but she doesn't pick up. She's a coward, isn't she?" Jaeri laughs. "So I decided to send her texts instead. Whether she read my harsh words or not, that's her problem. I bring her down, that's my job to make her stay away from Hani."

He clenches his teeth and fists after hearing those words.

"She's so shameless. Like so so shameless. She even tries to snatch away Jimin from me, who does she think she is?" Jooeun responses. "Hani is enough, now Jimin too? Tch, she's a bitch."

What did she just say? Jimin can't believe of what he just heard.

"I've hated her from the start. That's why, when her knife cut my arm, the idea of making her looks bad in front of Jimin directly appeared in my mind. Am I not smart?" She laughs happily, clapping both of her hands together.

"What did you just say, Jooeun?"

Every one of them, including Jooeun, turn around and surprise when they saw Jimin.

"J-Jimin..?" Jooeun's face turns pale.

"So you are the one who's lying here, am I right?" He tries to control his anger.

"W-what are you talking about- I don't-"

"Shut up!" He shouts, veins appearing upon his temples.

"I trust you, how can you- argh! Whatever!" He throws the milk to the ground, rudely.

"All of you, you better not show your faces in front of Joohyun anymore, or even touch her, or I'll break your faces into pieces!" He points at them.

And he leaves along with the stares of everyone in the cafeteria.
