JiEun's POV

My head hurts like hell. When I opened my eyes, the ceiling of the clinic greeted me. I looked around and saw 4 men sitting near my bed.

"W-Who are you?" The four of them looked at me in unison. I gotta admit, all of them are good-looking. But, that's not the time to appreciate them. "She's awake. Tell Serim noonah." I heard the black-haired guy say to the cheek-boned guy.

"All right." Then, he called someone. Wait, how did they know about Serim? And why are they here? "Hey, hyung. JiEun noonah's awake. She's panicking coz she doesn't know us. What the actual hell, doesn't she fall for my charms? Dammit. But tell Serim noonah to hurry up."

Okay, first of all. I almost fell for his charms but I told you, it's not the time. Later, he hung up the phone and faced me. "Hello." And he smiled.

"Who are you? W-Why are you here?" I asked them. He's going to answer me but his phone rang. "Hello? Okay, hyung." He hung up and nudged a friend of him. "Hyung.." And he whispered the rest of his statement.

The other just nodded and looked at me. "We should go. Serim noonah would be here. Don't ask why we know her." And that black-haired boy smiled. I swear, his eye smile is so cute.

His smile reminds me of Jaemin.

Before I know it, they left the clinic. I sat on the bed and I was surprised when the door opened and it revealed Serim.

I immediately spoke. "Serim, who the hell are those people and why do they know you?" She just sat beside me. "Slow your pace, bitch. They're just a bunch of weirdos looking after you which are the new transfer students." I was frozen.

"What now?" She asked. "T-Then where's Jaemin?" She turned her expression to a dark one. "JiEun.." She said in a low scary voice. Right. If I ever mention Jaemin, she'll hate me. Well, she hates me and Jaemin because of the incident.

I lowered my head. "I'm sorry." She sighed. "But what if I'll say he actually didn't care?" She said.

What if. It's just a what if.. but it hurts. The truth is.. I want Jaemin to care. I didn't speak and just hopped off the bed. "L-Let's go now, Serim. We're late." I said and wore my bag. She also stood up and we left the clinic.

This day went quite well.. for Serim, that is. I was wondering where she were. "Hey, Serim." I suddenly spoke while we're in the middle of walking. "Yeah?"

"Where were you when I was at the clinic?" I asked. She looked straight ahead and sighed. "I just went to the cafeteria to eat. I was really panicking when those four carried you to the clinic." She said and looked down.

I think Jaemin didn't care at all. "Wait, I don't know them yet. Can you tell me their names again?" I asked. She took her phone and showed pictures of them, but it's their IDs.

"This is Jisung, that cheek-boned boy. This one's Jeno. This handsome lad is Renjun and that cutie's Mark. The two who left with Jaemin is Haechan and Chenle." She said.

I just nodded and we entered our apartment. I immediately went to my room and threw my bag on a corner before jumping on my bed. My eyes starts to pour tears but I held it in.

I don't know why I'm crying. All I know is I want Jaemin to care for me. I wish he was the one who carried me to the clinic. I really missed his touch, anything about him.

Then right there, I started to cry. I covered my face with my pillow and silently cried, hoping Serim wouldn't hear me. She'll kick my ass if she hears me cry.

While crying, my eyes started to get heavy and I drifted off to sleep.

When I woke up, it was already 6:44 in the evening. I took an evening shower and went to change into my pajamas. I went down and found Serim preparing our food.

"Ooh! Spicy chicken wings!" I immediately sat on the dining table. Serim gave me a bowl of rice and I started to eat. "Yah, slow the fuck down." She said because I was eating too fast.

"Oh, shut up. And don't swear on me while I'm eating." She just rolled her eyes and sat down to eat.

After we ate, I went back to my room to rest. Yep, I love resting. I took my phone and started to scroll onto my Twitter feed. There are a lot of tweets of Jaemin in here.

As far as I can see, Jaemin didn't post about any girl. Yet. All I can see are his posts about his daily life (as usual) and sharing the friendship he had with Haechan and the others.

His picture of me and him is no longer his pinned tweet. It was just him and his squad. At least it wasn't a girl.

While scrolling through his feed, I came by this post and my heart started to beat fast.

jaemin💘 @nana_jaemin
I still care for you and I hope you know :)

I wish I was the one he said that to.
