Third Person's View

Jungkook turned back to find the owner of the encouraging voice. "Er~ who's there? I heard you speak, don't hide," he tried to say it boldly, but he stuttered a little.

"Here's a tip, many boys in this school like Jaerin, you'd be one of them if you actually went to this school," the voice said yet again, this time, a head popped out from the back of a wall after completing the sentence.

"You like singing, right?" He asked Jungkook.

"Yeah, and who are you?" Jungkook asked.

"I'm Soonyoung. I've debuted just like you, Jungkook. Anyway, I should go. See ya next time!"

That was weird. Jungkook thought.

"Math was so complicated!" Yerin said to Jaerin out of frustration. It had already been weeks since they started the topic, and she still was not able to grasp the concepts of it.

"Again? I think you need to find a tutor, you're never going to understand the topic if you continue like this," Jaerin said, running her fingers through her hair since she was sick of the daily complaint.

"Like what? I haven't done anything wrong, Jaejae. You sound frustrated too though," she questioned the girl who was nearing her locker.

Because of Yerin's comment, Jaerin bumped into her locker and hit her head. Feeling irritated, she snapped. "You haven't done anything wrong?! You've been complaining about the complication of the topic every single day since we started the topic! You haven't even put in effort into trying to understand it and you're complaining?! Not only that, you don't even know your mistake. Geez what did i do to deserve a friend like you."

A tear rolled down Yerin's cheek. She felt mistreated and insulted. She felt that no one knew how she really felt and what she really did in order to fathom the topic. Not even her best friend did. Without saying a word, she interpreted sadness by running away from Jaerin, tears falling down her cheeks like raindrops falling.

I screwed up. Jaerin thought to herself.

It was already the next day and there was no form of communication between Yerin and Jaerin.

Although they had an arugument, Yerin acted as if everything was perfectly normal, from greeting Woojin when she first entered the classroom, to having lunch with the group.

Jaerin, on the other hand, felt tortured. She had never been so quiet before. She hadn't even spoke a single word that day. Not even to Daehwi or the teacher.

Finally, it was the end of the day, but it wasn't really.

"Class, remember, we have to stay back for our project? You're all dismissed to have your food but i expect all of you to be in this class by 3:30."
