There were only the two girls in the classroom until a boy knocked on the class door, waiting patiently. The girl, Hyerin, startled by Chanhee's sudden appearance stands as he calls her name. She glanced at her friend who shrugs back at her, and walks towards the boy. He politely asks her to talk to him in an empty classroom. Uneasy, the girl follows, not knowing what to expect from the popular but quiet boy from her math class. When they arrive he gets her to sit on a desk, as he leans against the wall. After some silence he speaks. "Hyerin, I wanted to firstly congratulate you on your wins." She is not used to talking with him, but she manages to thank him anyway. A semi long silence followed until he spoke again. "How are your knees feeling? You seemed to have scraped them pretty bad earlier." She unconsciously looked down at her knees which didn't hurt until she thought about them. She shrugs at him and no more is said, until a group of loud students approached the classroom. The group of students were none other than the rest of The Boyz, and feeling nervous, Hyerin decided to give a slight wave to Chanhee and walk past the group out of the class. Only 3 people noticed her leave.
Back in her normal setting with her friend, Hyerin puts her head on the desk in front of her friend, and tried to ignore what happened, despite her friends' questions. Not long after they were released from school, and the two friends parted ways to head to their own homes. Exhausted from the day's events, Hyerin decides to eat a snack, wash up, and go to bed early. Fully rested she was able to prepare for school just fine, and didn't miss the bus either.
Sujin and I don't have much to talk about this morning, and so I decide to put my headphones in and listen to music. Honestly, when I listen to music, it feels like a different world than it is without music. It's the same people but a different feeling, and I think that it's different. At school, math passes by fine, and not do I have any interactions with any of The Boyz, which makes me feel better inside. I'm still uneasy as to the random times I've encountered them, and what would've happened if we had met more often. For the next few days I go about my life, doing my homework or lying about it, painting, and spending time with Sujin. Things were going great until I started receiving messages from other students.
Reading these messages from students I don't even talk to, over a group of individuals I could care less about, left me feeling angry and frustrated. I didn't know how to respond. Should I confront The Boyz and get them to stop these people from messaging me? Should I avoid them completely? What if we have an encounter? I have class with two of them, what am I supposed to do? Upset and confused on what I can do to fix this situation, I try to sleep and come up with an idea.
