Hyunjin takes hold of Somi's hand leading her to who knows where. "Jinnie, we shouldn't be doing this," Somi argued. She takes in the sight of her boyfriend—who bites down on his lip and gives her a sweet smile.

"come on, babe. just one." he pouts, closing the janitor's door behind him. the corners of her mouth curve up and she leans in before he cups her cheeks – his lips coming into contact with hers. she melts at the touch of him, instantly smiling into the kiss. "seungmin i–"

Hyunjin immediately pulls away from the kiss. "Seungmin?" he asks, confused.

Somi opens her mouth to explain, but she finds herself unable to speak. Unable to explain.

At this, his eyes flicker with sadness—immediately making Somi's heart drop at the thought of hurting him.

"I–" before she could finish, Hyunjin storms out of the janitor's closet, getting as far away from her as he could.

"Hyunjin! Wait!" She cries, chasing after him.

Hyunjin turns to face her—his eyebrows knit together, eyes glossy with tears. "Do you have something you wanna tell me?"

"Hyunjin, just listen. It's not what you think," She explains quickly, feeling her own eyes fill with tears. Tears of guilt and regret—frustration.

"Not what I think? What do you think I have in mind right now?"

"I didn't do anything, Jinnie. I promise."

"Then tell me! Why have you been so distant lately? You completely blow me off. Who's Seungmin?... And why are you thinking of him?" Hyunjin starts off with a loud voice, clearly irritated by the situation. But at the last sentence, his voice is low in tone—he sounds hurt.

She remains quiet, unable to answer.

"Somi, I trusted you! And you know that! I gave you my entire heart. You knew how important you were to me, and this is what I get in return?!"

"Jinnie... just let me explain," She sniffles, wiping under her eyes.

"Okay, fucking explain it to me! Because clearly I seem to be missing out on something!" Hyunjin was fuming. His eyebrows knit together in concentration and frustration, the tears on the brim of his eyes threatening to spill out, but he wouldn't let that happen. His eyes burned with desperation and anger as he held his hands in fists by his sides.

"It's not what you think. I just— I don't know. If I'm being completely honest I–I'm confused, Jinnie."

"Are you seeing Seungmin?"

"Yes. I mean n-no! Not that way! I mean seeing him as in—"

"I knew it," Hyunjin scoffs, running his hand through his hair—a sign of frustration. "They were right," Hyunjin bites his lip before turning in place and storming off.
