Siwoo was looking at outside, thinking of Junho. *has he flied yet?* she asked herself.

"Bae Siwoo! Don't daydreaming in my class!" her Maths teacher scolded her.

Siwoo turned to the front and quickly bowed to her teacher, apologizing to him.

"Come to the front and answer this question." He said. She nodded and came forward. She wrote the final answer and went back to her place.

"So your answer is y2=2(x-8). Let see the correct answer." He took his book. "Well, you got it right BaeSiwoo. Great job but please no more daydreaming in my class. Understood?" he asked and she nodded eagerly.

"That's all for today. I'll see you tomorrow." The teacher walked out from class.

Siwoo quickly took her back and went out. Someone accidentally bumped onto her.

"Opps, sorry." The voice of a male apologized.

Siwoo turned and surprised swept her face. *it's him.*

Rap Mon looked at her in puzzle. "Hey, you not hurt are you?" he asked worriedly. "I'm sorry. I didn't see you there." He apologized again.

Siwoo looked away before she went her way.

Rap Mon blinked in puzzle, "What the?!"

*did she just ignore me?!* he looked in disbelief as she walked away.

"She's one weird girl." Rap Mon snorted.

J-Hope was keeping his stuff in his locker when once again he smelled the sweet scent.

He quickly looked around. There aren't many girls who were walking down the hallway, well except for one girl.

In a blink of eyes, he was on his feet and ran after the unknown girl.

*let's see if you are the person who's using the locker now.* he was about to pull the girl's hand when suddenly jumped onto his back. "J-Hope hyung!" Jimin voice was so near to his ear.

"Hey! Park Jimin, I really don't have time for you now so get lost!" J-Hope told him. "What's wrong hyung?" Jimin tightened his hand around J-Hope. "I'll tell you later. Now get off!" J-Hope turned to him. "Fine! Fine!" Jimin jumped down. "See ya, Chim-Chim." J-Hope ran. Jimin watched him as he ran off. "He's fast."

"Where is she?" he looked around. He turned to the stairs. *rooftop perhaps?*

He ran to the rooftop and open the door. At once the sweet scent ran into his nose. *she's definitely here.* he looked around but no one's there. He turned around. *maybe up there?*

J-Hope went to the steel-rusty stairs right next to the door and he tried to climb it but he stopped half way. *what if I got there and I see her with another guy? What if they're making out right now?*

He quickly shook his head. *doesn't matter. I just need to know who it is.* he continued to climb.

As he almost reached the top, he slowed down. He took one step at a time. He took a quick look and he gasped silently.

Siwoo was sky gazing. She didn't even notice J-Hope was there, eyeing her.

*it's her!* J-Hope thought excitedly. Unfortunately, he lost his balance and fell off the steel stairs with a loud thump.

Siwoo tore her gaze off the blue sky. Her trail of thoughts was disturbed by a loud knock on the floor. She stood up, went to the stairs and looked down.

*it's him again. What is he doing here?* she thought.

"Hey." J-Hope force a smiled as he was holding back the pain. "Aren't you coming down?" he asked her.

"Look away." She said softly.

"Sorry?" J-Hope blinked.

"Look away." she said it clearer and louder.

"Oh, sorry." J-Hope turned his head away.

Siwoo went down and squatted in front of J-Hope. He turned to look at him. "Hey." He smiled at her.

Siwoo replied his smile with a nod. She looked at him. Besides Junho and his father, this was the first time she's been close to a guy.

"Hey, you okay?" J-Hope's voice brought her back to the real world. She nodded eagerly.

"What are you here? Why aren't you with others?" J-Hope asked her questions. She looked away. "Come on, you can tell me." J-Hope insisted but she shook her head. "Why are you not talking to me? Do you hate me?" he asked but she didn't react.

Siwoo didn't how to react to his question. *how should I hate him? I don't even know him.*

*oh, wait! I know him! He's with the group! They always bully people who like me.* she thought.

"So you hate me huh?" J-Hope looked away.

Siwoo sighed. She took J-Hope's left hand. He blinked at her in surprise. She pointed on his palm. He looked down and surprise swept his face. His palm was bleeding. It's weird. He didn't feel pain at all.

"Wow, I don't feel that." J-Hope smiled meekly.

Siwoo sighed again as she shook her head. She took her water bottle which she brought along with her just now and she also took out some tissues.

She carefully rinsed his bleeding hand with clean water. He hissed in pain so she stopped immediately. She took her tissues and wiped it dry.

She then took out her handkerchief and tied it gently around his palm.

She collected all the used tissues and her water bottle. Siwoo bowed to him one last time before she headed towards the exit.

"Hey!" J-Hope stopped her. She turned sideways.

"T-Thanks." He thanked him.

"You...." Siwoo talked.

"Yes?" J-Hope was anticipating her next words.

"What do people like you plan to do with me?" she asked.

"Sorry?" J-Hope frowned deeply.

"People like you, like Serri....is it really fun picking on weaklings like me?" with that question she left him dumbfounded.
