Seji accidentally dropped her pencil on the floor during math class and it rolled right next to Jisung. "Ji, can you pick up my pencil?"

Jisung looked at the ground and picked it up. He returned it to Seji without actually looking at her.

"Are you avoiding me?" Seji asked.

Jisung shook his head, facing the chalkboard, "No, I'm not."

"You're not even facing me,"

"That's because I'm listening to the teacher,"

"He's busy writing some math formulas,"

"Well, then I guess, I'll copy the formulas," Jisung opens his notebook and pretends to write something down.

"You are avoiding me."

"How could you say that? You have no proof!"

"The chair says otherwise!" Seji whisper-shouts, pointing at Jisung's chair which was nearing the aisle.

"Right, I must've been moving a lot."

"And you two are talking a lot," Jaemin who was sitting in front of them, turned around. He faced Seji and grinned, "Look, Seji, if you hate sitting with Jisung, you can always sit with me."

"Thanks, Nana, but I like the squirrel better,"

Jaemin hissed as he faced the board again. Jisung notice his change of attitude, "What's his problem?"

"He used to have a crush on me," Seji confesses. "I kind of rejected him."

"Why?"

"He's not my type."

Jisung rolled his eyes as Haeyeon continued talking to Eric and Donghyuck.

He asked her if they could talk after class but the two boys were delaying him.

"Are you guys done?" Jisung interrupts, earning a glare from Eric.

"An 'excuse me' would've sounded nice, Han Jisung."

"Yeah, you've been quite a bit rude recently," Donghyuck adds.

Jisung sighs, "Sorry, I just have a lot of things on my mind right now."

"Like what?" Haeyeon asked.

"It's hard to explain,"

The three looked at each other. Eric mouthed something along the lines of 'he's going crazy', so Donghyuck bid his goodbyes and dragged Eric away.

Haeyeon faced Jisung and crossed her arms over her chest, "What really is the problem, Jisung?"

"I need to talk to you about something." Jisung straight up said, ignoring the question.

"About what?"

"About your cousin, Yoon Seji,"

Haeyeon's face fell but she quickly composed herself and looked at him in a confused manner, "Why would you want to talk about her?"

"Does she happen to work in an amusement park?"

The girl widens her eyes and grabbed Jisung's wrist. She dragged him far away from the hallway.

"Where did you hear that?" Haeyeon whispers, still holding Jisung's wrist.

"So, it's true?"

She slowly lets him go, "Don't tell anyone, Han Jisung. Seji is very sensitive about that."

Jisung nods, "Is she still working there?"

"I'm not gonna tell. That information is private and—"

"Well then, can you just help me?"

"With what?" Haeyeon asked, with arms crossed. "I'm not exactly good with anything -"

"Help me get to know her better."

Oh. "Yeah, sure."
