Tug of War

As soon as Lonna had run from the room, Jisoo threw RM's hands off her shoulders and hugged Suga from behind. "I'll always be by your side... Suga." The sound of her saying his nickname made Suga bite his lip harder.

Lonna ran up the steps to the balcony by the library. Her tears continued to run down her face. 'I'm so stupid, I thought he needed me. In reality it was unrequited love all along.' Jin watched Lonna collapse in tears from the top of the steps.

RM watched Jisoo smile happily as she kept her arms around Suga. "I'm willing to do anything, as long as you're here." Hearing her say those words made RM angry. His fists tightened at his sides as he turned away from them to try and cool his head. "I'll give up everything."

"Are you done yet?!" Suga screamed as he ripped himself from Jisoo's hold. RM turned around in shock. "Jisoo, if you live in the past, only relying on me, your life will just continue to repeat itself. Stop spinning in shadows of the past!"

"I only like you!" Jisoo screamed back through her tears. "As long as I have that I don't need anything else." RM could feel his heart break at the sound of the sadness in her voice. "It's true. As long as it's for you, I'm willing to do anything. That's how much I like you." RM listened to her words and took them to heart. He wondered if this is what love really meant.

"Don't expect anything more than a friend from me." Suga voice was low and full of anger. "It's not possible. Because to me, that's all you are."

They stood staring each other down. Both were at their limits with the other. Suga with anger towards Jisoo and Jisoo with the pain of being bluntly rejected. 'What about her? In your heart, what do you hope Lonna can bring you?' Jisoo thought. She had had enough of his obsession with that girl.

"Suga." Jisoo couldn't help but want Suga to feel half of what she was feeling now and she knew just how to. "You're only saying this because Lonna can't act how you wish. That's why you're angry. It's like a pet suddenly running away. You don't need it...but you won't let it go either."

"Shut up!" Suga screamed so loud even RM jumped at the volume. Suga had had enough. He shoved past Jisoo and started walking off.

"Don't get confused!" Jisoo was ready to strike him where it would hurt. Suga stopped to listen to what she had to say. "She isn't and can't replace...the mother that abandoned you."

Suga didn't face her, he knew he couldn't, his temper wouldn't allow him. "I told you to shut up. You purposely said that to get me mad...so what did you gain?" He stomped back out of the room.

RM was feeling horrible as he watched the two people he cared about most fighting. Suga was supposed to make Jisoo happy, but now she was crying in front of him. RM could feel his blood boil with every tear drop. The girl he loved didn't deserve this treatment. Even though he expected a rejection like always, he still handed her his handkerchief.

Jisoo looked up from the floor. "RM." He couldn't hold in his excitement of her acknowledgement. She had said his name. "I'm really pathetic. Suga's heart...is no longer on me. Besides purposely making him mad...I don't know what else I can do...to make him willing to listen to me...and look at me again."

Seeing Jisoo so broken made RM even angrier. Suga was the one Jisoo loved and he was supposed to make her happy. The fact that he had stopped, made RM want to hate him. He wanted to hate him, but he couldn't help but think Suga was not the only one at fault. "Jisoo...don't cry. I'll help you think of something. I won't let anyone hurt you." RM found his answer the minute Jisoo looked at him. It was the first time she had noticed him, and he knew he would do anything to help her.

Lonna's POV

Lonna turned and wiped the tears out of her eyes as Jin walked up beside her. "I hope you're not crying because you haven't found a four leaf clover." Lonna bit her lip, to keep herself from crying at the memories of how she had hurt him. "I still remember the first day we talked, you weren't looking for a four leaf clover, were you?" Lonna knew what he was doing and with how she felt, she had no other choice but to let him. "But since we can only find three leaf clovers... we'll use one to play tug of war."Lonna turned and smiled at his kind gesture.

Lonna and Jin both laughed as they tugged on their steam of one of the twisted clovers. After a while, the steam of Lonna's snapped. She jumped up and down in frustration of losing. It felt good to laugh, to forget being hurt for just a moment.

Krystal's POV

Krystal walked back and forth in front of the meeting area. She wouldn't allow the fact that Jin wasn't there yet make her feel bad. She thought maybe he was busy and couldn't leave yet. He wasn't very late, so it was fine.

She sat on the nearby bench, looking at her watch. The time quickly past by with still no sign of Jin. Krystal's smile started to fade with each passing minute.

Lonna's POV

After a few rounds of tug of war, Lonna and Jin were now walking around the campus sidewalk. Lonna knew she couldn't go far, because she had promised not to give up again on the basketball club. Right now though she was enjoying forgetting about her worries.

They both sat down on the base of the school's statue, Lonna twirled a clover in her fingers. "Thank you, I feel a bit better."

"That's good." Jin said as he stared at her smiling face. "I was really worried about you, as a friend."

His words brought a frown to Lonna's face. 'Why are you being so nice to me, when I hurt you.' She thought.

"Do you regret liking that guy?" Jin could sense Lonna's distress. Lonna was taken back by his question. "Actually, I can understand why you chose him."

Lonna scoffed. "Really? I don't even know why I chose him over you." Lonna saw Jin's face fall in sadness. "Sorry." She said feeling guilty for making him sad.

"I lost you because of him, so of course I won't like him, but I found out, I can't hate him either." The fight between him and Suga flashed through his mind. "Suga understands other people's pain, and then uses his own unique way to help them. For someone his age, to already be so mature, it's quite unbelievable."

Lonna couldn't deny that Jin was right, but she was still shocked he would admit it. "Because of that, he must be more sensitive than other people."

Jin decided to walk Lonna back towards the gym. "We may not have found a four leaf clover, but you did find a very good potential boyfriend. You should cheer up."

"You're talking about Suga." Lonna said.

"Of course, you and I are friends." They both laughed.

"Thank you. Jin, you will definitely find a very good girlfriend." Jin smiled in her direction.

"I know." Suddenly, his smile faded.

"What's wrong?"

"Sorry, I have to go." Jin didn't waste any time before running off. He had been so distracted and he hated himself for it.

'I have already made my choice, how can I give up so easily?' Lonna thought as she watched Jin run off, silently thanking him for helping her. 'I don't want to lose to Jisoo's pure determination.'
