If You Love Her ⤍ Kim Jonghyun

2

I walked down the hallway towards the music hall to see if she was there. I went to university a bit early that day just to know who she was.

I didn't know why I wanted to know more about her but I was really curious. Maybe because she didn't play boring classical music.

The door was closed so I twisted the door knob but the door wouldn't budge. I tried a bit harder and it still was no use. 'Why would they close the doors?' I thought to myself. So annoyed at whoever closed the doors even though I didn't know who did so.

I looked at the time on my phone to see that my lecture starts in an hour and a half. I heard footsteps clicking on the floor so I looked to my right to see someone walking down the hallway towards my direction. I ran the other way, my left and turned to my left once I was at the end of the hallway. I hid behind the wall.

Once the sound of the footsteps disappeared I poked my head to see that someone was opening the doors of the music hall.

Her back was facing me. I assumed that she was the same student who played the piano the other day.

Once she walked in she closed the door behind her. I walked towards the door, leaned over and put my ear on the door with both of my hands placed on the door.

I stayed like that for a couple of minutes until I heard the sound of the piano. I thought to myself 'Why does this sound makes me relaxed?'

 

"What are you doing here?!" My best friend Kibum yelled as he jumped in front of me to scare me.

I put my hand over my chest. "You scared me!" I yelled at him while he was laughing. I punched his arm playfully.

"I was walking down the hallway making my way towards class to see you here. I didn't expect it to be you because you're always late for class." He said.

I stood up properly. "Anyways what are you doing here?" Kibum asked me. "Nothing. I just wanted to come to class early today. Did I do anything wrong?" I asked confidently thinking that I convinced him with my excuse.

"Are you sure?" He asked suspiciously while raising an eyebrow with his arms crossed over his chest.

'Well damn it." I thought to myself. I really thought that I convinced him because I didn't stutter at all. I'm a really bad liar. If anyone asks me anything catching me off guard I start to stutter. That was why I was confident with my answer.

I punched his shoulder hard and he groaned in pain. He put his hand over his shoulder and asked "What the hell was that for?"

"For being a jackass." I answered and walked away. "I'm sure you're hiding something here." He said reaching out for the door knob. I turned around and grabbed him from his arm and said "I'm hungry, let's go eat."

He sighed and walked with me towards the cafeteria. 'Thank god he didn't insist to stay because he's so stubborn.' I remember thinking to myself.

As we arrived to the cafeteria we saw Taemin. He was sat with his friends Jongin and Jimin. Kibum being nosy told me "I'm gonna go talk to them and then come." And left before I opened my mouth. I rolled my eyes.

He walked towards their table and sat down next to Jimin, the opposite of Taemin and Jongin. Kibum was facing me and from his face expression he was interested in their conversation. He kept nodding his head with his eyes wide open.

Obviously he heard a new rumor and was gossiping about it. I ignored him and started eating my food.

After a few minutes I suddenly heard something hit the table in front of me. I looked up to see that Kibum put his tray in front of him in a hurry and said while sitting down "Oh my god Jonghyun, did you hear the new rumor that everyone is talking about?" I looked back at my food and continued eating.

"No and I don't wanna know because I don't really care." I answered not caring about the rumor and continued eating my food not even looking at him when I answered. "Oh come on." He whined. I didn't pay attention at him at all and pulled my phone out of my pocket. I started scrolling down on social media but was interrupted by Kibum because he snatched my phone out of my hand.

"Ok so I heard that Minho failed like 3 classes this semester and his dad kicked him out of the house." He said. He was happy once he finished talking maybe because he couldn't sit still if he heard a new rumor because he was the one who spreads them around the entire campus. That was one of the main reasons I didn't tell him anything because after a few minutes everyone will know.

"First of all, I told you I don't wanna know. Second of all, it might not be true. Third of all, it's not like you're a lot smarter than Minho because this is the first time that he fails if the rumors are true. Unlike you, you fail a subject or two every semester." I said annoyed at how reckless he was to say that rumor.

"You didn't have to be mean to me. I just said what I heard. It's just for entertainment, nothing more." He said frowning and crossed his arms over his chest acting innocent. "You really think spreading rumors are fun and entertaining? Harmless rumors can hurt people's feelings and ruin their lives." I said angrily after I slammed my spoon on the tray. He was shocked by my reaction and didn't say a word.

I got up and left the cafeteria after clearing my tray then putting it aside. I left because I didn't want to say anything hurtful I'd regret afterwards. I knew that Kibum didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings but I had to react that way so he would know that spreading rumors can ruin people's lives.
