A great push woke me up from the trance, my back hitting the lockers. Eden trapped me with both of his hands, a dark look on his face, which felt like he was shooting arrows through me. I was taken aback by the unexpected action. Anger following confusion overtook me.

"What the hell, Eden?" I said through my gritted teeth. I tried moving but his grip was too strong, pressing my back so hard that a padlock was piercing my spine. The hallway was almost empty, few students passing by not really interested in their surrounding.

He started leaning in, the proximity of our faces becoming not even an inch. He leaned more to the left side, and I was feeling his breath on my ear and neck.
A kind of fear overwhelmed me as I tried moving again, but it was useless.

"You need to stay away from him." With his lips almost touching my skin I felt as if all my organs overturned in my body. Another wave of confusion hit me. By the way he was staring at Jungkook earlier I knew he was talking about him, what I didn't know is why.

"What.. What is wrong with you?" I looked at him distraught, my voice stuttering a little. I couldn't comprehend what was going on or why was he acting like this.

This was not Eden, he acted like a totally different person and I started questioning how well I actually knew him.
Ignoring and avoiding me left me worried and confused, this, on the other hand, was something else.

"Eden, you're hurting me." It came out almost like a whisper as his grip on my hands was becoming stronger. He sighed exasperated.

"You will stay away from him." His threatening voice made me shiver after what he released me walking away out of the building as he slammed the door behind him.

I was spacing out during the whole lecture, thinking about what happened earlier. I was trying to process everything, from Jungkook to Eden.

Questions were filling my head one after another. I couldn't answer any of them.
Eden could.
Eden wouldn't.
And for sure I wouldn't dare to ask.

I wondered what made Eden change so much, but then what if this was who he truly was and I just didn't meet the real him yet up until now? I felt as if my brain would burn up from all the thoughts attacking it. I looked at my wrists, the redness fading away and the pain slowly disappearing. Various emotions were stinging my heart and I didn't know which was stronger: anger, disappointment, hurt or maybe fear.

After what felt like ten hours of lecture, it finally ended and I couldn't wait but get out from there and take a rest during the lunch time. I thought about whether I should go straight home, skipping the last lecture and just try to clear my mind.

Taking my bag ready to leave the classroom I noticed a familiar figure leaned on the door frame. Jungkook's hair was still disheveled like two hour ago but now two buttons of his white shirt were unbuttoned showing his well-shaped chest. Black jeans complemented his well built legs and a smirk was shown on his face giving indication of a dimple on his left cheek. I would lie if I'd say my heart didn't skip a beat seeing him like that but then it stiffened remembering what Eden had told me before.

"Took you a while." Jungkook stated furrowing his eyebrows with a smirk still on his face.

"What are you doing here?" I asked approaching him. He straightened up.

"Lunch time, let's go." He said taking my hand and started dragging me through the hallway towards the cafeteria. A wide smile was now visible and he started humming.

I frowned trying to stop him and unconsciously looking around to see if there was a sight of Eden. Eden's glare was engraved in my mind and it was a threatening one which showed that he wasn't joking.
