"Yah, what's wrong?" Taehyung asked as soon as he reached Yerin, who was crying at the rooftop.

Yerin wiped out her tears.

"How about your hyung?" Yerin tried to change the topic.

"He knew everything. Now, he's chatting with Sojung. Tell me, what's wrong with you? Be honest," Taehyung coaxed her.

And once again, Yerin burst into tears. Taehyung let her cried for a moment. Seeing thay there's no sign Yerin's gonna stopped crying while their recess time was going to end in 2 minutes, Taehyung hugged her and patted her head. Yerin felt calmed. They stayed like that until Yerin's phone ringing.

"Yah, where are you? The bell rang!" Sojung asked worriedly. The bell signed that their second rest had ended and their class at 2 P.M is going to start.

"Ok, I'll be there. Get into the class first," Yerin replied. Then, she got up. Taehyung followed her.

"Yah, why not you just rest in sickbay?" Taehyung asked, more to suggested.

"Na gwaenchanha. Let's go to the class," Yerin tried to sound cheerful but Taehyung knew she wasn't but he chose to be silent.

They were relieved that Han Seonsaengnim wasn't at class yet. As soon as Yerin sit at her place, Sojung patted her back. She knew her friend must be sad though she didn't know what Yerin spoke to her father.

"Yenny, wae?" Somi who sit in front of them turned her body towards Yerin. Her tablemate, Chaeyeon did the same thing too.

"Na gwaenchanha," Yerin keep assuring people that she's ok though she's not.

"But your face.. like tomato.. are you sick?" Somi asked again.

"Anya," Yerin shook her head. She sniffed.

"Oh, you have a runny nose," Somi mumbled.

"Who has tissue? Yerin need it," Somi asked the whole class loudly.

"Yah, you know, you are so loud!" Jaebum stand up from his seat. Somi seems shaken.

"Jaebum-ah, jebal.. geumanhae," Yerin tried to stop Jaebum. She knew he's not in his right mind. Taehyung just look at them both.

"Yah, yah, yah. Geuman! Yerin, here, tissue," Jisung handed Yerin a packet of tissue.

"Gomaweo," Yerin replied. She didn't realise that.Taehyung peeked her through his eye corner.

"Ah, Yerin-ah, will.you be okay if you go home by yourself? I need to attend acting class this evening.

"Eo, ok," Yerin replied shortly. She's still.in bad mood. Sojung understand it so she didn't get annoyed or whatsoever. She knew Yerin need time to heal her heart.

As for this evening, Taehyung didn't have to clean up rhe school. The principal said it is not save to be around school for the time being. He only heard those two besties' conversation.

Yerin walked while looking at the ground. She looked... lost. Taehyung had no idea on what happened to Yerin. Why did she change right after she met the policeman? She's like a different person from what Taehyung always looked.

At traffic light, Yerin did stop, waitinf for the colour to change. While waiting for it, Yerin sighed and she turned her head back. Quickly, she changed her expression.

"Eo, Kim Taehyung! What are you doing here? Isn't your home at opposite way?" she asked while smiling. It did hurt Taehyung to see her forced smile. Taehyung getting near her.
