(a/n: THIS IS RLY BAD AND CRINGEY IM SO SO SORRY)

-soo jin's pov-
i gasped, almost screaming if i didn't have self control.

my eyes widened. "baekhyun-sunbaenim! you scared me!" i chuckled, still startled.
but baekhyun remained unfazed. his eyes were staring right into my soul, not saying a word.
"u-uh, how can i help you?" i asked. crap. i stuttered. why did i stutter? oh yea, a beautiful human being is standing like, five inches in front of me. what is oxygen?

"can i have your number?" baekhyun asked.
i blinked. "what?" i asked.
"your number," baekhyun paused. "can i have it?" he continued.

"uhh, sure. it's 3—" i said.
"wait, w-why do you want my number?" i asked.

"so that i can text you," baekhyun said.

"my phone isn't working at the moment," i lied.

baekhyun grabbed my left arm and lifted it up, which was holding my phone.

"explain this?" he asked, referring to my phone.

"uh, this isn't mine," i said.
"then why is your name written on the phone case?" he asked.

"uh.. fine. it's mine, but it's not working.." i said, and it sounded as if i was unsure myself.

baekhyun just narrowed his eyes at me. i looked away nervously.

"can i just get your number so i can text you when your phone gets repaired?"

"baekhyun-sunbaenim, are you hitting on me?" i asked, trying to change to topic.

baekhyun blushed.
he blushed.

"t-that's not the point! and stop lying to me! i know you're PSJ!" baekhyun yelled.

"w-what are you talking about? of course i'm PSJ! those are my initials!" i fired back, gulping.

he took a step closer.
"don't act dumb. you're the one who keeps texting me," he whispered lowly in my ear, sending chills down my spine and making me blush furiously.

"baekhyun-sunbaenim, i have no idea what you are talking about," i lied nervously.

"why do you keep lying to me?" baekhyun said softly, looking dead into my eyes.

"i-i'm not lying," i said.

baekhyun just took two steps closer, putting one arm on the locker behind me and he was two inches away from my face.

how do i breathe?

"i'm asking you for the last time, and you have to answer honestly, soo jin. are you PSJ?" baekhyun said slowly.

"n-no," i replied, gulping and resisting the urge to kiss him.

"why do you keep denying?!?" baekhyun lost control and yelled at me. this managed to catch the attention of everyone in the hallway.

and then i did the worst thing i could've done.

"i'm not PSJ!" i shouted, before giving baekhyun a hard slap on his right cheek.

i gasped, realising what i had done. i looked down at my hands and i couldn't believe what i had just done. like a coward, i ran away. without even apologising.

"did you see that?! she just slapped baekhyun!" i heard one of the girls in the hallway whisper while i ran past them.
i ran to the nearest washroom and hid myself in a cubicle.

'what have i just done?' i thought to myself.
i looked down at my hands, shaking, and muttered, "i-i just slapped byun baekhyun.. what do i do?!"
i started to cry. that's what cowards do. i couldn't believe myself; i had just slapped baekhyun in the heat of the moment, ran away and didn't even apologise. i shouldn't be here.

i heard the washroom door burst open, and two familiar voices filled my ears.

"soo jin!! where are you?!" yeri asked, panic in her voice.

i opened the cubicle door and stepped out, hands still shaking and i'm still crying.

"hey, hey, why are you crying?" chaeyoung asked gently.

"i-i just slapped baekhyun.." i replied.

"so it really was you?!" chaeyoung asked in surprise, earning a hit from yeri on her arm.

"i'm so screwed, guys... now the whole school's going to talk about how i slapped baekhyun.. i'm screwed.." i said, in between sobs.

"at least you apologised, right?" chaeyoung asked.
i shook my head. "o-oh.." chaeyoung managed to choke out.

"it's okay, soo jin. just apologise to him the next time you see him!" yeri suggested.

"how? he's gonna think i'm a fool! i can't just go like, 'oh hey baekhyun i'm sorry for slapping you'! i'm so embarrassed, guys. i don't know what to do. i just want to hide in a hole forever," i sobbed.

"you can't avoid him forever, soo jin.. just apologise and tell baekhyun that it was an accident and you didn't know what you were thinking," yeri said.

"i-i don't know.. i'm so stupid, guys.." i said, sobbing even more if that's possible.

"honestly girl, you can't hide from reality forever. you only live once, so just face your problems. there's nothing to be scared of! baekhyun won't hate you. he's probably in love with you," chaeyoung said. i chuckled and blushed.
"he's not 'in love' with me.." i said.
"and how would you know that?" yeri asked, smirking.
"i just know. and thanks you two, for cheering me up. i still feel like crap, but less crappier than earlier on. you both are the best," i said, trying to stop the tears from flowing.

"aw, it's okay. group hug!" chaeyoung said, grabbing me and yeri into a tight hug.
