We sat at our lunch table as usual. Against all my expectations, there had been no more comments or whispers, as if people were already over the rumours. Did Nancy just spit out empty threats?
"Do you plan on eating that?", Doyoung skeptically poked the chicken breast on my plate with his fork.
I mustered the lump of flesh "Now that I think about it, I'd rather not". Our school's cafeteria only served questionable food.
Winwin glanced at his own tray of food "I'm so hungry but this really kills my appetite", he pouted.
"Let's just grab something to eat after school", Johnny proposed. We all agreed that it was a good idea and before we knew it, the bell already rang.
Unconsciously, I fell behind as the others walked ahead, already leaving the cafeteria. Not all of them - Taeyong slowed down as well, which in turn sped my heartbeat up.
"You know", he buried his hands in his pockets "I really liked that insta post of yours"
My cheeks flushed a bright red, but I crossed my arms skeptically "And you had to specifically tell me that in person?"
Taeyong smirked as we strolled through the now empty hall "No, I just wanted to ask whether the caption was directed at someone", he scanned my face for a reaction but I was honestly just confused.
"Those were just lyrics... don't be so full of yourself", I playfully shoved him, still unsure of what he meant.
"Oh... good", Taeyong laughed lightly, his face instantly lit up.
I raised an eyebrow "Were you jealous?", he wouldn't even have a reason to be.
We had to part ways at the stairway, Taeyong still hadn't given me an answer. I was beginning to lose hope that he would. But then he turned around and bit his lip "Would you be?"

Yuta poked my arm "Stop falling asleep in class", he whispered.
My eyes went wide as I tried sitting up straight. Why did this class have to be so boring?
I rubbed my forehead "Thanks for waking me up"
Yuta smiled and shook his head, returning his focus to the teacher.
The weather outside was truly beautiful, so I kept switching my gaze between the window and the clock on the wall. Only ten more minutes left until the weekend, until we could get some food.
And a tiny fraction of my mind went to him. Oh hell no, I wasn't about to be this excited to see that fuckboy. Because that's what he still was. And although I tried my hardest to not think about him, I couldn't help it.
"So have you and Taeyong cleared things up?", Yuta's eyes pierced mine. Could he read thoughts or something?
"Uhm yeah, we talked about it", I vaguely answered.
Yuta simply smiled and nodded. As the bell rang he grabbed my hand and got up "Let's go, I'm starving"
After we had left the classroom, our hands were still intertwined and I couldn't help but wonder what Yuta was thinking.
