I don't care what you say.

"I told you to stay away from that boy." Her father spoke. "He's just a friend . . he's not distracting me from anything." Minji defended. She wasn't going to let Jihoon get involved in her mess, she didn't want to hurt him.

Her father has pressured her so much that she was on that point of her life where she would lie just to take a break from all the studying.

She would lie just to get a little happiness.

"You know what happened last year, don't you? You said the same thing yet it still happened." He looked at her. Minji gripped her skirt, sighing.

"I'm sorry, I'm a such a disappointment." She made her away around her father, looking down at the ground while walking to her room. "Kim Minji, what are you doing to yourself?" She muttered as she shut the door.

Minji stared at her groups of friends, laughing and chatting about. She sighed to herself before walking away and to the library, Jihoon caught a glimpse of the girl and quickly excused himself from them, following her.

What's she doing in the library this early? He thought as he saw Minji enter the Library.

The girl flinched a little as Jihoon greeted her. "I would like to be alone for now, I need to study." She replied, taking out her books. "Early in the morning?"

Minji sighed, turning to him. "Did you not hear what I said?" I'm sorry Jihoon, I just have to do this. It's for your own good. If I keep hanging around you, I might not be able to do that because you're a distraction and I don't want to be distant from you. She thought.

Just resist a little more and we'll be together, soon. Bub.

"Minji, stop stressing yourse-" "Leave me alone, Jihoon."

+a/n: writer's block. sorry for the short paragraphs and these break thingys

It's been a week and things went back to the way it was before. Minji isolating herself once again and far from the rest but Jihoon wasn't having any of it. Mad or not at him, he's still going to confront her about what's happening.

He's dead worried about the girl, she wasn't usually like this. Last week, Minji only rejected his words and blocked him out but today he wasn't going to have any of it.

No matter how stubborn she will be, he'll ignore it and try to get his important point across.

"Minji." Jihoon huffed, he could tell the girl was already annoyed by this. "Jihoon, I'm-" "I need to talk to you, just for five minutes outside." He cut her off, he wasn't taking any crap from her right now.

The boy was extremely worried for her.

Minji sighed, she got up and followed the boy outside the Library. Jihoon led the two out of the building, somewhere peaceful and quiet. Somewhere calming.

Jihoon leaned on to the wall, his arms crossed as he looked at the girl in front of him. "Why are you stressing yourself so much? We're dead worried about you and your health Minji!" He asked, frustration laced in his voice.

"Why do you care?-" "Cause we're your friends! I don't care how mad you are at me, I still care about you, why? Because I love you!" He cut her off.

"So please tell me why you're isolating yourself so much, you're never like this!" Jihoon added, pushing himself off the wall and walking closer to Minji.

"Jihoon, it's complicated-" "It's not that deep Minji! All you have to do is tell us why you're like this-"

"You don't know how much pressure I'm going through, Jihoon! All the pressure coming from my father, it haunts me! I don't want to fail my History paper like I did last year, why? Because my father thinks you're going to be the reason if I fail this year and you know what that means? No more us, Jihoon. He's going to completely take me away from you. I love you so much Jihoon but I can't afford disappointing him! This is why I'm studying day and night, to make him happy." Minji ran her fingers through her hair.

"But are you happy? Minji, you deserve all the happiness in this world and I'm sorry for what I've done to you, I truly am. You need to be free as well, Minji, aren't you tired of locking yourself up in your room all night, studying and isolating yourself from people?" He asked, stepping closer to him, Minji could see the tears on the brim of his sparkly eyes.

"You're making me worried. My heart feels unstable when I see you like this, Minji. If you really love me, take a break. Studying every day without a break isn't good for you, bub. Please, do it for me . ." Jihoon grabbed her hand, his eyes full of affection and pity.

His actions and words melted Minji's heart.

Minji smiled, nodding. Jihoon mirrored her smile and pulled the girl in to a bear hug, securely wrapping his arms around her torso and stroking her hair.

Jihoon sighed whilst smiling, a single tear rolling down his cheeks.

"I forgive you . ." She whispered. The boy was in complete shock, he didn't know if he had heard it right. Jihoon pulled away from the hug, his hands securely gripping her shoulders as he looked at her with wide eyes.

"No way." He shook his head, Minji let out a small chuckle before nodding. Jihoon once again pulled her in for a tight hug, whispering sweet nothings in to her ear.

"I love you I love you I love you so so much, Minji."

"I love you too, bub." It wouldn't hurt accepting happiness, right?
