A few days have passed and yet there was no solution to reconciling your friendship with Wonho. Truth be told, the feelings remained but due to his doubts and wrong assumptions about you, your heart chose to slowly release him. You did reveal the hidden affection that you had for him but it was out of frustration rather than it being viewed as a sincere confession. You just wanted to pretend like nothing happened and hoped this issue would be long forgotten. Furthermore, you couldn't let Seola find out of your true emotions because she's your close friend.

You bounced through the chill autumn air with steady breathing and graceful springing steps. You were light on your feet but your heart was heavy by how Wonho had hurt your feelings. Despite jogging a few rounds around the field track, it didn't wear you out just yet. Distrait, the bobbing dwindled and you halted right in the middle of the track. You heaved a sigh, pondering on how long you had to pretend. You looked over your shoulder, reminiscing of the usual routines when Wonho and you would exercise together after lectures or classes. Every single day, there wasn't a moment where you forgot about him.

Your mind was already in a mess so you decided to go back home straight and rest. Perhaps you required more time to sort your thoughts and feelings. It was already decided that you wanted to stop leaning your heart towards him but it was just a matter of how you were going to achieve it. You gulped down water and wiped the beads of sweat off your forehead with your arm. Your head tilted down when you saw Wonho sauntering towards your direction. Flustered that he might want to have a word with you, you turned away and kept your water bottle, hastily shoving in your other belongings into your bag.

"Y/N,"he called.

Your heart pounded upon that gentle voice of his which you have not listened to for the past few days. You gulped and slung the strap over your shoulder to leave the field. You flinched and halted in place when Wonho blocked your path. Your eyes weren't looking at his face and instead was on his sneakers. You moved to the right but once again, he towered you.

"We're not done yet,"he said.

Underneath his serious expression evoked an aura of control. The edgy atmosphere made you stop. Your eyes averted from him but knew his gaze were glued onto you. Wonho felt that your eyes were intentionally cold, as if demanding a separation. His first impression in meeting you was vivid and it occured to him right at that moment. His heart sank as he longed for the time when you could be comfortable with him again because honestly, it took him tremendous effort and time to finally gain your trust but it shattered right before him.

"How long are we going to ignore each other?"

Your eyes squinted with intense mistrust. 'Has Wonho forgotten that he viewed me differently now?'you thought as you remembered how he misunderstood your intentions, making it look like you had a bad purpose. It showed how his trust had faltered. Noticing how you were indignant, Wonho softened his facial expression.

"Alright, it's fine if you don't want to look or talk to me yet but I'm sorry for raising my voice at you. I was angry so I wasn't careful of what you feel but don't you think we're both at fault?"he explained.

You shot your head up with your narrowed eyes flashing indignance and anger. Wonho couldn't recognise you anymore because the girl whom he used to know was gone and it was all because of him. It was as if the sharp point of a knife dug deeper into his ribs.
