" that's not true "

we all turned to the owner of the voice and saw hyunjin walking towards us. he spared a quick glance at jungseo before shaking his head and stopping in front of me and yuna. his appearance was sudden and out of nowhere. i gulp as i stare at him, standing in front of us.

" hyunjin " i murmur, enough for the three of us to hear. he nod his head and smiled at me. a smile that looks staged.

people may see it as his usual smile but there's just something about hyunjin that makes me read him so easily. i don't know, but he's like an open book to me. or am i just an outstanding reader? who knows.

" i've been looking for you ryujin-ah " he said and let out a sigh. he pursed his lower lip and made a look where he looks worried or something. what is he up to, acting like this, something unlike him? " come on, i'll walk you home "

he grab me by my wrist and pulled me out of the scene. when we passed by jungseo and the others, i heard her scoff and so i mentally rolled my eyes. i was holding onto yuna's hand so i ended up pulling her with me, us.

as we walk the hallways, all eyes were on us and everyone stared at us with raised eyebrows. i know i already said that i love attention, but attention like this is different fom the one i love. i let out a sigh and tried to catch up to hyunjin's big steps.

wait. why is he suddenly doing this?

hyunjin pulled us out of the building and started walking for the gates. i look up at him and stared at the side of his face as he pulls us. didn't he disagree with the plan? then why is he helping me. i mean he didn't say anything awhile ago about dating me but... he also said he's been looking for me? why? why is he acting weird?

my thoughts were cut off when he turned to face me. he stopped walking making me and yuna stop as well. he let go of my wrist and look at me.

" they didn't hurt you right? like physically? " he asked. his question sounds very sincere but he doesn't look like it. i shake my head slowly, still confused.

" thanks back there hyunjin oppa, those three are so unbelievable! i was near to ripping their hair from their scalps! aish! " yuna exclaimed beside me, rolling her eyes afterwards.

hyunjin turned to yuna and seemed confused as to why she's here. but he shake his head and turned to me again. " so i thought about it " he started. he sound so serious.

" i really don't want to do it at first. i think it's petty and pointless. but after some thinking, then i saw the situation awhile ago. the look on your face- " he tilted his head slightly to the side, like the one he did in the park. " -it's something i wouldn't want to see. it's just... you're different ryujin. you don't even care about everything other people say. now, seeing you being affected by all this just makes me feel... weird "

this is definitely not a good time to feel flustered and definitely not the perfect time to feel those annoying insects wilding in my stomach. but i still felt it. the words he said. the way he looks at me with those eyes. now tell me how can i not? i let out a breath and look down at my feet. i just want to avoid his eyes.

" that's why, i'm doing it. we're doing this ryujin, ok? " he rested his hand on my shoulder making me look up at him again. he smiled at me and nod his head.
