It was like that every day, Doyoung right beside Hobak, his words very gentle and delicate.
Hobak seeing Jaehyun in the hallways but with unwelcoming eyes.
Taeyong was obviously jealous the whole time, but he just doesn't know how to clear it out.
"Today's the performance." Doyoung cheered.
"I can't wait for the kiss scene!" Doyoung flirtatiously adds.
"Yah! That's so inappropriate of you!" Hobak slapped his shoulder.
"I knew you liked me!" She jokes.
"And you like me!" Doyoung pokes her nose.
Hobak just shook her head. "I'll go home first."
"You're not gonna stay for more practice?" Doyoung asks.
"No, too much practice freaks me out."
"Then let's hangout." Doyoung chains their arms together.
"As much as that sounds nice, I need more alone time. Today is a day where I just want to be myself." Hobak declines.
"You mean by yourself?" Doyoung frowns.
"Be myself, by myself." Hobak smiled reassuringly.

Hobak walked home and saw Taeyong sitting on a bench.
He was unaware of his surroundings, he just stared at the concrete floor and let the misty winds feel his ears.
Hobak stood there and she felt a tug in her heart.
It passed four o'clock, and Taeyong got up with a sigh and saw Hobak.
"H-Hobak?" He dropped his backpack.
"Why didn't you say anything?" He walks up to her.
"Pick up your bag first, we can talk at the park."
Hobak says walking away.
Taeyong rushed to her side after sloppily grabbing his book bag.
"Hobak- I'm so happy- you have such a kind heart-" he bursts beside her.
"Ah, I feel like I will die with a burden, you're so kind to me-"
Taeyong closed his mouth when he saw Hobak's fragile expression.
That's when Taeyong cleared his throat.
"Hobak, I don't know how to clean myself up, but I want to know how you feel."
"I didn't come here to talk." Hobak says quietly.
"Then what did you come here for?" Taeyong's response comes out strong.
"I originally came to listen, but I guess I'll just tell you something." Hobak fiddled with her fingers.
"I'm not going to live in South Korea anymore."
Taeyong furrowed his brows and shook his head left and right.
"No, why?" He redundantly says.
"It's okay, it's for the best, besides, I forgive you. Don't burden yourself." Hobak actually smiles with her words.
"What about your dad? Him too?"
Hobak shook her head no and smiled with a shaky smile.
"My mother came one day, and claimed me."
"Hobak, this may sound selfish, but what about me?" Taeyong rose his voice desperately.
That's when Hobak's smile broke and she frowned.
Her voice became inaudible and it was continuous whimpers.
"Hobak, I'm sorry— don't cry- I mean, you can cry, but if it's because of me, don't-" Taeyong reached to hug her.
"I'm deeply sorry for being a stupid boy that doesn't know how to act when he's in love, I'm sorry my words aren't strong when I apologize, or —if my feelings don't even matter to you."
Taeyong ranted whilst holding Hobak, and her tears stopped.
"T-Taeyong, there's another thing you should know." Hobak sniffles.
"Yes?" His voice says in a calm tone.
"Doyoung isn't my boyfriend, I'm sure he's just being nice."
"Too nice." Taeyong adds with a smile.
"If only you and I understood each other." Taeyong sighs.
"I mean, we can keep contact while I'm in America." Hobak softly smiles.
Taeyong felt her gleam and he felt a shock of happiness too.
"Of course, I'd love to." Taeyong unconsciously holds her hand gently.
Taeyong was about to pull his hand back but she intertwined their fingers.
"Another thing, is that I'm actually afraid to go." Hobak darkens the conversation.
"Can I ask why again?" Taeyong attempts to be careful with his words.
"I feel like, if I leave, I'll just be gone." Hobak says getting up.
"I have to get ready for my performance." Hobak reasons.
"Ah, I have to go too, I have a minor role." Taeyong laughs.
"See you there." Hobak grins.
"Fighting!" Taeyong yells as they both walk in their house.
