I head back to the classroom, frowning. I feel knots starting to form in my stomach as an image of me and Jaemin separating ways.
Jaemin is my best friend and for this to happen all of the sudden.. it's not right. He will tell me everything but he's just avoiding me..
Did I do something wrong?
"Maybe, you really did something wrong." I heard a familiar voice behind me and it's Mark Lee. He was playing with his phone, one ear bud on.
"If I did then what is it?" He turned off his phone before looking at me. He starts walking towards me.
"That's for you to find out." He whispered before passing me. My eyes followed me and I saw him walking to Lee Haechan that just came out of the room.
Haechan tried to kiss him but then Mark dodged it. Haechan pouted but Mark only laughed and kissed his forehead. The two starts walking away from me.
I wonder.. how does it feel to be loved?

Me and Renjun went to an ice cream parlor after school in Incheon before heading back to Seoul. We're waiting for two more people. The door opened and we waved at the two.
"So.. is Renmin happening now?" Mark sat down beside Hyuck and we just laughed at his remark.
"I just wish.. Jeno would notice me but he's straight." I said then Renjun went to the counter with Mark to order our ice creams, leaving me with Hyuck.
"You've been avoiding him.." He started then I hummed.
"It's dumb and painful, I know but I don't really like seeing him with Chaeyoung all the time.. especially when we're neighbors and when I leave my apartment, I see them together." I roll my eyes as he nodded.
"You know.. that's how me and Mark Hyung starts dating. I thought he was straight from the look of it but then a few months later, he found out that he's actually gay." He said before grabbing my hand and held it tight.
"Just don't lose hope.. you'll have no hope anymore if those words come out of Jeno's mouth: 'I'm not Gay, I'm straight'." He said then I nodded.
He let go of my hand and the two came back. Renjun gave me ice cream and a smoothie and Mark bought the same set for Haechan.

Me and Renjun head back home and I actually found out his cousin is staying with his best friend for a few months. We decided to cook for dinner.
"Ow.." I accidentally cut myself and Renjun heard me and rushed to me. I smiled when he starts checking my hand.
"Injuni, I'm fine.. it's just a small cut." I said then he sighed before glaring at me.
"Yeah, it's just a small cut but it's on my crush's finger." I blushed when he said crush. He took a bandaid from the closet before cleaning my cut and wrapping it with the bandaid.
He then kissed it and my fingers flinched a little from that. He kissed my forehead next.
"I'll finish up.."

I start feeling cold and I wrapped myself with the blanket. My eyes landed on the picture book of me and Jaemin.
I stood up and took it from the shelf. I slowly turn the pages as I felt tears falling down my face.
"Huh? That's weird... I've never felt this way.." I try wiping them away but it just keeps on falling.
