I gasped spilling out water, regaining senses. On remembering the previous incident, my eyes instantly searched for Audrey. That's when I saw her, all soaked in water, shivering in.... Joon's embrace? I rubbed my eyes to check if I'm hallucinating but it doesn't seem like so. Then my eyes darted on Auro who was sitting beside me, with red eyes, as water dripped down her hair. I sat up with her help, taking deep breaths.

"The heck Hobi? Why did you jump when you can't swim?", Jin said putting on jacket on me.

"What do y'all think? She can't swim too. Still you guys bullied her & pushed in the water. I'm amazed to see, nobody cared to help her. What if she got drowned? I had no other choice. I thought you guys changed but whom was I fooling for. And you Auro? You're her sister, ain't you? How could you just stand there & do nothing?", I got up & went inside the house.

After taking a shower, I changed into comfortable clothes, drying my hair. I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in.", I said faintly still angry with them

"Hoseok", I turned to see Audrey smiling meekly.

"Are you alright? Did they do something again? How--", she cut me off.

"Thank you Hoseok. And I'm sorry. I re--", this time I cut her off.

"It's not your fault. They should be the ones apologizing. In fact I'm sorry, on their behalf.", I looked down, ashamed.

"Hoseok look at me. And promise, you'll listen to the whole thing, whatever I'm going to tell you now.", she said sitting on the bed, patting the space next to her. I nodded in confusion as I sat beside her. She took a deep breath.

"Everything was planned Hoseok.", I froze at her words.

"What do you mean?", I was trying to figure out what she said.

"Look Hoseok, I'm really sorry. Auro told me that Joon had feelings for me yet he never had the courage to confess or accept my feelings. So Auro planned this whole thing. Them bullying me & pushing me into pool, all was part of the plan. That was to drive Joon to the edge. Otherwise he would have been hiding his actual concerns as always. ", Audrey meekly smiled at me.

"But you can't swim Audrey, what if something happened to you?", much curiosity at it's peek.

"Hoseok... I can swim. I just had to pretend like I was drowning until Joon dived in to save me. You remember when Auro told you that I can't swim, it was directed for Joon. Joon was passing by then, so she intentionally emphasized that part for Joon to listen.", she fiddled her fingers.

"Seriously? Was there no other way? And why was I not included? Why didn't I had the slighest idea regarding this whole thing?", I was feeling betrayed. Am I over thinking?

"Auro told us not to involve you.", that's it, I got out of the room, slamming the door behind me. I saw the boys lined up on the couch. Auro was standing back facing me.

"Why so quite? I was expecting a party by now. Congrats Joon, your coward ass finally confessed to her. And boys I'm amazed. Never knew, you were such great actors. I've never been so proud of my friends until today.", I said clapping.

"Hop-", Auro started off.

"Don't you dare Kim Aurora. I have no mood to engage in baseless talks with a person like you.", I stared at her petite shivering form.

"She saved you Hobi. How can you be so ungrateful?", Joon said getting up.

"So? Big deal? Wasn't she the one planing this whole ridiculous thing?", I was fuming out with rage.

"You are overreacting hyung. She wasn't the one--", I cut off Kook.

"Overreacting? Right...I should have been throwing a party in your honour right? You know what, fuck you all.", with that I took my phone & headed for my home.

I plopped down on the bed taking out my phone, constantly ringing. I decided to ignore all the calls & texts trying to sleep.

I had no mood for lectures but today we were to be given projects, that counts major marks for the semester. I was having one of my clumsy days plus Yoong & Joon sharing the same lecture with me along with Auro wasn't helping me at all. Mrs. Kwon entered the class holding a bunch of papers steppled in a certain order.

We were given the topics & now we had to choose any one among them. One more thing was choosing project partners. It would have been any other day, I would have partnered up with 3 of them. But no not today.

I walked over to Minseok, as usual I was  pulled into a hug. This guy is too cute for me sometimes.

"Hey Minseok, are you willing to be my project partner?", I asked him.

He shot me a confusing look, "I'd love to Hoseok, but is everything alright? The air seems tensed.", he said looking somewhere behind me.

"All good bud! So can we ask others? A group of 5 right?", I asked him & he nodded.

"I already got them bud. Me, you, Chanyeol, Jongdae & Jessica.", he gulped nervously. "But Hoseok, you sure you wanna be with us?"

"Ya. Why are you sweating suddenly?", I followed his gaze to see an intimidating Yoong & Auro shooting daggers at him with their eyes. Scary!

I shrugged off completely ignoring their existence. After submitting the names, we decided to discuss about the project heading towards the canteen. Minseok & Jongdae completely sandwiched me between them while Chanyeol kept on cracking poor jokes.

"Hoseok, can I have a minute of your's?", Jessica stood in front of me collecting her things.

"Sure!", I said getting up & followed her. She lead me to an empty room, closing the door behind.

"So what do you wanna talk about?", I asked her  supporting myself on the table.

"About us...", she smirked approaching me.

I knew what she was trying to imply. Sometimes, no almost every time we meet she gets on my nerve. But I like her too much to even react harsh at her. I started walking off when she chased me.

I turned back when heard her scream to see her spraining her ankle. Dayum! I made her sat on table while I bend down to look at her injured ankle.

Just as I was about to get up, I heard the door clicking open & on turning back I saw Auro with an disappointed expression. Her eyes met mine before she started running.

"She got a wrong idea about us... Call Chanyeol, tell him to take you to the doctor.", with that I got out of the class to chase her.
