🎶It's like a wind that gently strokes me
It's like a dust that gently drifts along
You're there but for some reason, I can't reach you
Stop
You, who's like a dream is a butterfly high to me

Untrue! Untrue!
You! You! You! 🎼🎶

Lee Hyeri 's POV

Another day like every day!
I woke up in the morning with nothing in my head. I sat on my bed for a while with a zombie face like I'm trying to come back to earth from a barren planet thousands miles away. Everything that happened last night flash-backed in my mind. I brushed everything over the screen and got up to wash. I'm not going to pay heed to any kind of thought like that. No Hurricane is going to occur.

While brushing my teeth with my favorite orange-mint tooth-jell, there was only one thing in my mind. I admitted to myself that I love Yoon-gi . Then I stare at myself in the mirror and questioned myself,

What's next?

So, there's no next. It is decided. I'm not going to give a shit about any other thing. This is all my concern that I have feelings for him, not his. I don't want to impose my feelings on him so I won't confess neither I will get affected by any of his actions. There will be no room for expectations and overthinking. I'll simply keep going with my feelings.

I arrived in my studio where the Jury was going to conduct. Yoon-gi and Hobi were already there, displaying our sheets while Jungkook helping them. I greeted them all.

"Anneyong!"

"Anneyong Noona!"
With Jungkook's particular baby bunny smile.
"Anneyong Hyeri-ah! Now you come and help displaying sheets. I'm going to get the model from Dorm. Other group mates are waiting for me there. "
" Anneyong "
Yoon-gi's voice almost got buried from Hobi's louder one.

"Yeah Yeah Alright!"
I took Staple-gun from Hobi. Then Jungkook gave me his hand so that I got on a tall stool.
I could feel clear hesitation in Yoon-gi's behavior. Quietude was written on his face

. Although he doesn't talk much but he wasn't even doing argument on such things like sheets' alignment. This is what he would do because he's quite picky about things. Blame his self-produced OCD!
After a few, I punched a sheet twice but it didn't staple so I figure out that pins must have finished. I asked for pins randomly. Someone handed me a bunch of pins and his fingers touched with mine. There was a clear spark that felt. I was afraid what if someone had seen it.
It was Yoon-gi's. I knew without even looking onto the face.

"S-Sorry!"
I heard myself, stuttering.

"Hnm? Oh no It's nothing. . "

"For the mess I created!"

He then turned towards me, facing me directly. I was standing tall on stool so I was like towering over him. He had to bend his neck in quite a steep angle to look at me. I was opening the port to slid pins inside staple.

His eyes, questioning me.

"Between You and Min-ah."

His eyes got widen and he looked towards Jungkook as if he wanted to hide that incident. Sensible Jungkook knew he mustn't listen this talk so he disappeared.
He faced me again.

"It was nothing. Nothing much happened. You don't need to say this. "

I was still struggling with staple gun while facing him. Mistakenly I pressed the button and next I felt was a twirl of pain. In an uncontrolled reaction, I lost my balance and stumbled upon the stool. I had pinned up my own finger.

I thought with my eyes closed that I fell.

But I opened my eyes, I was still on stool─ with my hands resting upon Yoon-gi's shoulder and my head leaned closer. Yoon-gi was holding me from my forearms.
Along with many others, there was another pair of eyes that saw this happening. This wasn't a big deal for others but for that person, it was!
Those smiling expressions turned into straight one as she walked closer to our panel.

"Anneyong Yoon-gi ! "
Both of the face turned towards the one who arrived. She wasn't even trying to sweet his stern face.

"Oh Anneyong Min-ah!

"Are you sure . . . It was nothing?"
I mouthed as he looked back at me. I removed my hands from his shoulders and got back on my own weight.

"I thought I'd be a help."
Expressions loosening up a little ... Just a little.

"Umm we are almost done."
Yoon-gi spoked, trying to keep his confidence maintained.

"Yeah I can see."

A smile took place of the sternness on her face. That looked sarcastic.

And scary.

Hobi barged into the situation along with a model holding with other two group members .Yoon-gi took Min-ah outside and I jumped from stool to help Hobi.

Our Jury went well. Results were not yet displayed so we made a plan for a group eat-out. Our Hoobae were free too from their submissions and juries. We asked Jin Oppa to spare a few hours for us from his pre-thesis busy-ness. Yoon-gi asked Min-ah too but she refused. She had to go somewhere for her final submissions, this was what Yoon-gi told us. What was in real, none of us had any idea.

It was our last enjoyment before Exams so we wanted to have fun to its fullest. Yes, we just got free from Design but we still had theoretical and practical exams left. But for now I just need to be in the moment.

Yoon-gi's POV

Min-ah was clearly annoyed. She almost hid that in front of Hyeri but she exploded when we came outside. I got hurt that she didn't trust me.

But Do I trust my own self?

I don't know why she was making a mess of little things. In both moments when she doubted at me there was nothing offensive or objectionable happening between me and Hyeri.

And why the heck she was doubting at us?
Hyeri and I?
I mean, No!
Not on the earth it can happen. We are just friends.

Just friends.

I don't know what she is building up in her mind.
I wanted to take her with me to eat-out. I think she'll come along and everything will get normal but she left immediately giving an excuse that she's going for her project work.

This was not the truth. She was lying.

I knew it because...
