"Hansol!" You shout.

You chase him with all your might and catch up to him in the hallway.

"Geez." You breathe, the run taking a toll on you. "Why didn't you answer any of my calls?"

You turn your head to see him looking straight, earphones on.

You nudge his shoulder. "Hey. What's wrong?"

He doesn't even flinch.

You stop right in front of him, stopping him from walking as well.

You pull his earphones off and cup his cheeks, making him look at you.

"Hansol! What the fuck is wrong? Are you ignoring me?" You ask.

He doesn't say anything. Instead, he grabs your wrists, slowly but firmly pushing them off his face. He puts his earphones back on and walks away.

Tears start to form in your eyes as you watch the back of his head, his figure disappearing behind the other students.

Your heart literally broke and what's worse is you have no idea why.

"Hey Hyejin! I'm glad I caught you. We have five minutes 'til class, we can practice our report— Wait. Are you crying?"

Seungcheol makes you face him, and by then the tears were overflowing.

"I-I don't know why, b-but Vernon, h-he—" You stutter, trying your best not to sob.

Your heart was so heavy. He was one of the most important people in your life and now he suddenly ignores you.

"He's what, Hyejin-ah?" Seungcheol asks, wiping your tears.

You take a deep breath. "He's ignoring me."

You step back, roughly wiping your own tears. "It's just so frustrating that he won't tell me why."

Seungcheol frowns, and steps forward, cupping your face. "If he won't tell you why, then it's not your fault."

You hear some 'oh's and 'ah's from passerby's when they see you two, but you ignore it and nod instead.

"Come on. Let's go to class." He says, putting a protective arm around your shoulders, walking you to class.

You get to class and see Mingyu already there, probably reviewing his report since he's seated next to Haeun.

Seungcheol leads you to seats a few rows in front of Mingyu, so he spots you two, including the arm Seungcheol placed around you, holding you close.

Some of your other classmates start teasing you two, and you blush but say nothing.

"Come on, guys. Now's not the time." Seungcheol playfully rolls his eyes at them.

You two sit down and you're much more composed now than you were just minutes ago.

"Okay. Let's do this." You breathe deeply, taking out your laptop.
