I waited by the trees, waiting for Jin. He suddenly called me.

"Hey, sorry Chae.. I'm gonna have to cancel. Your sister and I have a project together that's due in two days. I'm so sorry." He spoke in a sad tone.

"Oh, um, okay." I hung up without saying goodbye or even before he could respond.

I just sat by the school benches, fiddling with my fingers. I felt tears weld up, why am I crying? It can't be because of Jin. He never meant to cancel. Could it be because of Taehyung? I thought to myself.

"Yah! What are you doing Chae?" Namjoon sat beside me, he instantly grew worried hearing my soft sobs.

"What happened? Is it because of Jin? Or that dumb guy today?" He quickly gave me a hug while I hugged him back.

"I-I don't know, you know us girls.. emotional. It's nothing." I sighed, I wanted to be with Jin. I needed his comfort, but you can't get everything you ask.

"You must have alot of history with that guy, huh?" Namjoon questioned, rubbing my back in comfort.

"I mean yeah, we were so close. So were our families.. Until he moved. I don't know what happened that made him hate me this much." I completely left out the fact of him saying what he did in the music room.

"It's alright, you have us. It's better then that guy. Way better." He patted by back.

"I guess." I murmured.

"Hey, I gotta go. My mom wants me back for dinner, it's her birthday." Namjoon smiled.

"Oh, tell her I said happy birthday!" I tried to keep a happy face.

"Okay, I will. Thanks!" He said, looking at his phone before he left.

Namjoon's comfort did help a bit, but I still sat down by myself just thinking. I suddenly felt small patters of rain by the top of my head.

It didn't seem to bother me, I still sat down and continued to think to myself. The rain poured harder, forcing me to walk home.

By the time I got home, I was already drenched in rain. I entered my house, seeing my parents instantly go to me.

"Where were you?! You're home so late and you're drenched. We already had dinner. I prepared you some just microwave it after you wash up." My mom sighed, shaking her head in disappointment.

"Okay mom, sorry." I bit my cheek, walking to the washroom.

***

Aeri hasn't spoken a word to me ever since I got home. When I entered our room, she was just laying on her bed.

"Goodnight, Aeri." I sighed, laying in my bed.

No response. She must be asleep.

***

Aeri still hasn't spoken to me even the morning after and we were already at school. I walked to our group of friends, and I saw Jin and Yoongi look uneasy at my presence.

"Okay... What happened?" I furrowed my eyebrows, folding my arms.

"Nothing." Yoongi lied.

Everybody just looked down, as if they were guilty. Seriously? Now everybody's just gonna keep secrets from me now?

"Alright fine, if you guys are just gonna act like this I'm just gonna leave." I angrily spoke. I was frustrated, this day is already started off bad. Who knows what could happen after?

I bumped into somebody accidentally, I looked up to see Taehyung. I just let out a deep breath and walked past without apologizing. I entered class without my friends, I sat in my usual seat and I saw my friends coming in.

Jin didn't sit beside me, in fact he sat far from me and so did Aeri.

Hoseok just sat beside me, he looked angry. "Chae, if you knew what happened it would just make everything worse. So just let it go." He clenched his jaw, staring straight at the board waiting for the lesson to start.

The only open spots was a seat beside me because Jin wasn't there. Taehyung entered the class and just sat beside me, avoiding my presence as well.

"For God's sake." I muttered to myself. I wasn't able to focus. "Mrs. Gen, could I go to the washroom?" I asked politely.

I wasn't going to the washroom. I was going to skip class. I normally don't do this but with not being able to focus what's the point?

She nodded and continued the lesson. I just grabbed my stuff and left. I pushed past Aeri, ignoring her presence as well.

I sat by the vending machines by the stairs and I saw Yoongi sitting down as well.

"Chae, you have class. What are you doing?" Yoongi noticed me walking by him.

"I'm just having a bad day." I mumbled. "Don't worry, I know you guys are keeping something from me so I'm not gonna even fucking step near you." I cursed, I barely if not ever swear but I couldn't help myself.

Yoongi was shocked at how I was acting, he didn't respond. I just shook my head and continued to head for the doors.

"Are you coming back?" He quickly spoke before I left.

"If I feel like it, but judging by now.. no." I said, looking at him before I left.

The bell rang, and everybody was heading to their next class. I just walked up to the roof top and sat by the benches. I looked at the sky with a glare. I couldn't contain my anger. I just punched the pole beside me causing my hand to bleed and bruise.

"Freaking hell." I yelled in stress.

I saw Jungkook walk up here, I know he usually goes here in his art class for inspiration at this time. I should have just gone home. By this time my hand was almost covered in blood.

He saw me and noticed my hand. "Chae! What's wrong with you? Why is your hand bleeding?" He dropped his stuff to offer help.

"Just leave me alone." I pushed him off me, causing some of my blood to stain his uniform.

He just stood in shock, just like Yoongi. I've never acted up like this but I don't know how else to act on a day like this.
