I spun around in continuous circles in one of the swivel chairs. Our class, specifically mine and Jimin's fifth period, were in the computer lab to take a four part diagnostic test for our AP course that Jimin somehow convinced me to take. It's easy he said, the class work isn't that hard he said. I knew I shouldn't have listened to Jimin, he's used to these kind of courses while I'm not. Luckily for me, the whole class was have trouble logging in. The server was down. We had to wait while the teacher called for an administrator.

Jimin sat back, crossing his arms impatiently. He seen this as a waste of time and knew it'll take away from how much time we had to test. I, for one, didn't mind. The diagnostic test is formatted like the AP exam, it's only to see where we're at with what we know, it won't count towards our grade.

"What happened between Jiyeon and Yoongi?" I almost flipped out of my chair when I heard those words from Jimin's mouth. Just those few words sent my mind rattling with worrisome thoughts. What do I say? I can't tell him..

Jimin's gazed switch over to me, a confused look on his face as his eyebrows began to knit together. "Did something bad happen?"

"Well.. umm." I tripped and stumbled over my words. I'm sure Yoongi wouldn't want me telling his business, but I also knew it'll hurt Jimin if he found out. I couldn't tell him. I just can't do it. "Don't worry about it, it's none of our business." I turned away from him, the older tilting his head in question.

"But you definitely know something."

"What would you do if you found out Jiyeon doesn't like you back?"

Jimin's face faltered quicker than expected. He sat back in his seat, contemplating if that's something he should even answer, or if that question has meaning behind it. "There's not much I could do, but it's okay if she doesn't like me back. It'll hurt, but it's okay.. I'd be able to manage somehow. A different story is if she chooses someone else over me." He scoffed at his own words. We turned towards each other, his expression clearly pained. He's figuring it out.

"And what would you do?" I hinted him further.

His expression grew more pained, looking up at the ceiling. "I'd probably hate myself, knowing I was never and would never be good enough for her." He glanced at me. "And then I'll try again."

Try again? "What do you mean?"

"She can always change her mind, if anything was to happen, I'd always be willing to accept her with open arms."

"Wouldn't that make you a rebound or something?"

His jaw clenched and his brows stitched together in deep thought. He let his eyes wander, something was bothering him. "I did it to Yeonwoo, so why should I care if she does it to me." He muttered, a new, unknown expression shown on his face.

It was obvious that he forgot about the kindling relationship me and Yeonwoo have. And now I'm somewhat growing protective over her, trying to secure the last piece of dignity the girl has left. "What did you do to Yeonwoo?"

"Are Jiyeon dating Jungkook or something?"

The tension was nearly unbearable, the both of us having precious information the other didn't know. I broke away from Jimin's gaze, I couldn't bring myself to tell him the truth, but I guess Jimin didn't feel the same.

"I'll tell you why I hate the girl so much. I'm so tired of hiding my shame, keeping the secret, so tell the whole school if you want."

I didn't want to hear Jimin's words, it felt like it'll be something that'll hurt him just to say, I didn't want him to tell me out of spite. "Jimin, you don't have to-"
