It was raining outside. I wrapped myself with a thick blanket as I sat on my bed, next to the window frame. My knees were hugged closely to my chest with my eyes shut. Just when I let out a heavy sigh, a soft knock was heard.

"Chaewon, sweetie." I glanced at my mom with gloomy eyes. Just like my friends, she knew I had feelings for Taehyung.  I told her what happened yesterday and said that it's best if I don't come to class today.

She cupped my cheeks and placed a warm kiss on my forehead. "Someone came to visit." Just when she left my room, Jimin came in holding two plastic bags.

"I got you food!" He threw me a smile and stood infront of me. I didn't have the energy to reply so, I just quirked up the corner of my lips. "Hey now.." He placed the plastic bags on my desk and quickly went to sit infront of me. "Talk to me," he sternly said.

"What's there to talk about?" I muttered.

"Well, why don't you explain to me why you and Taehyung left yesterday? Taehyung came back but, you didn't. What happened?"

"Why don't you ask him yourself."

"He's giving all the boys, silent treatment." He rubbed his temples as he thought about it. "Come to class tomorrow, okay? You both need to talk this out."

"But you said if he hurts me, I should leave and forget about him!"

"So you choose to leave just like that?" He furrowed his brows. He heaved a sigh and lowered his gaze. "Have a full closure, first. If you think he's not worth the fight then, leave him."

"Why the sudden change, Jimin?"

"What do you mean?"

"I meanㅡ Make up your mind! Do you or do you not want me to leave him?"

"Iㅡ " He hesitated for a second. "I'm not suppose to tell you this but, yesterday Taehyung picked you up instead of me."

"Yeah, because he told me you had to go somewhere."

"That was a lie.." I searched his face but, he kept looking away. "Taehyung actually begged me to let him pick you up. Took him hours until I fiinally said yes."

"What? Why would yo— "

"My point is!" He cut me off. "I've never seen him this determine." We both grew quiet for awhile. "His late mom..  Her death anniversary is tomorrow." He looked up and locked eyes with me. "He doesn't like to bring the boys along. It'd be great if you could accompany him."

"But— "

"He needs someone, Chaewon."

"Why me?" I whined. "Somebody else can be his someone. YOU can even be his someone! Why me? Why must I— "

"Because he likes you!" He snapped.

My eyes widen in shock. To say I was suprised was an understatement. I was beyond shocked. "When— " I choked on my words. " —when did you know?"

He sighed. "For awhile now."

"And you didn't tell me!" I grabbed my pillow and threw it at him. He swiftly grabbed it and scratched the back of his head. "Unbelievable!" I angrily said. Suddenly, my cheeks grew bright red, heating up at the thought of Taehyung. Cupping my cheeks, I bit my lower lip and smiled. "Unbelievable," I muttered.

"Oh god! I thought you were mad shit at me!" He laughed and nudged my arm.

"I am!" I threw my blanket over his body and lock-head him. "This is what you get for not telling~"

"Yah! Wonnie!!"
