"So, what I'm doing now is I'm confessing to you. Do you want to be my girlfriend?", Hyunjin swallowed his saliva. He had pulled up the courage as it seems to be the right timing but he didn't know what was to come after his sudden confession. It could be rejection or it could be a starting to a new relationship. Whatever it was, Hyunjin was nervous. His hands were trembling but he hidbit behind his back.
However, when he saw the tint of blush dusting Na-Eun's cheeks, he raised his hope high when he shouldn't. Na-Eun inhaled and exhaled her answer calmly.
" sorry ", in a split second, the smile on Hyunjin's face was nowhere to be seen. It was replaced by a confused frown. " I don't think we will work out. Not this way " she smiled and spoke gently, worried she will hurt Hyunjin in anyway she could. She didn't see this coming. She really didn't.
She turned her heel and walked away not when Hyunjin suddenly grabbed her wrist. "So, you don't like me at all? Do you not see me in that way at all?"
Na-Eun stared at Hyunjin's hand before looking up while pulling her hand away. "You should go and find Jisung." He let Na-Eun's hand free when he didn't hear the answer he wanted.
"In the end, Jisung is getting in my way again", he said, kicking some pebbles on the ground.

Na-Eun felt teribble. She just kied to herself. Oh, how tempted she was to say yes to Hyunjin but she held herself back. She couldn't be selfish even though she wanted happiness but gaining happiness this way was wrong.
She wasn't blind. She saw how Hyunjin looked at Jisung and the way Jisung laughed at Hyunjin. There was something, a feeling she couldn't put into words when she saw them. It was as if the both had an unbreakable bond nobody could touch and if anybody did, they would be eaten by guilt for the rest of their life.
She could have easily agreed to Hyunjin had he not give those adoring and soft stares to Jisung. So, hearing him saying he will even leave Jisung for her sounded unrealistic.
She didn't know Hyunjin could be so cruel to use her like this. Whatever Hyunjin was hiding from everyone, he was using Na-Eun to get rid of it.
" they're idiots ", she whispered, walking back to the basketball team's stall.
" where is Jisung?", she asked once she arrived at the busy stall. Her friends shrugged. "Probably somewhere around. We don't let him work because he's too chaotic to be handled", Na-Eun nodded at Woojin, not inquiring more.

—nevermind. I forgot what I wanted to say.
Hyunjin narrowed his eyes at the latest text he received from Jisung once he arrived home. After stating and analyzing the meaning behind these texts, Hus curiosity finally got he best of him. He texted Jisung back, —what is it? but he never get a reply and after a few second of nothingness, he was blocked by the other person in the chat.
Uneasiness washed over him ,he decided to dial the number he memorized by heart and called Jisung but none of his call went through. He dropped his phone, settling on the idea of Jisung refusing to talk to him because of his pettiness.
Even with such conclusion, the unsettling feeling at the pit of his stomach didn't fade away as if something had terribly went wrong, the feeling grew bigger.
He called Jisung one last time, leaving a voice messege for Jisung , 'hey, are you alright?', he realized, he hadn't ask this question as much as he did before. He used to ask Jisung this daily to make sure the shorter was doing fine. With Jisung clouding his mind, he fell asleep and didn't wake up until it was late at noon.
*
—Knock! Knock!
Jisung's morning started with a loud banging on his door and thanks to that, he had to force himself to wake up or else his neighbours would complain about him and his 'guest'. He sat up and slumped his shoulders when everything from last night came crashing back to him. It was a long night for him...it was a very terrible night.
"Han Jisung! Are you not opening the door? If you don't wake up, I'm kicking the- oh, you finally open the door", Jisung nodded while rubbing his sleepy eyes as he turned around. Seungmin followed him in while asking and scolding him for being out of reach— kakao, sns, calls, he didn't respond to any of those.
" they picked out the team we're going against. It's SM uni.", Seungmin rambled as Jisung sat on the kitchen's counter, grabbing a jug and pouring himself some water to relieve his sore throat. "I'm not coming today", He weakly said. Seungmin tilted his head, not quite sure whether or not he heard Jisung wrong. " what do you mean-"
"Just give me a day off", an angry vein popped on Seungmin's forehead. " do you think this is a joke? Jeongin finally forgive you and team accepted you back in the team. Why are you pulling this shit now?", Jisung put down his glass, getting off the counter. "I'm being serious", He yelled, voice slightly cracking at the end. " I'm not joking" he looked up, "just leave me alone right now", Seungmin held his breath while gapping his mouth when he saw Jisung's swollen and red eye that gave away how he had cried last night.
" I will be fine by tomorrow. So, do me a favour and tell them I have something to do. I will the full responsible", Seungmin held Jisung's shoulder. "Are you alright?", Seungmin expected this question to sooth Jisung but the previous calm expression on Jisung's face had turned into an ugly frown as if he was reminded of something bad.
"Of course, I am! Why wouldn't I be?", Jisung smiled but the frown on his face proved his smile was insincere. Seeing Jisung trying to smile through his pain was awfully sad to watch. Seungmin who had never seen his friend this vulnerable and broken naturally didn't know what to do, especially when Jisung looked like he as going to break at any second.
" do you want me yyo call Hyunjin for you?", Jisung and Hyunjin had known each other the longest. Seungmin thought only Hyunjin would know what to do in this kind of situation.
Jisung quickly grabbed seungmin's hand and shook hisbhead. "Don't", He really didn't want to see Hyunjin right now or anytime sooner. " don't tell anybody, please? "
Seungmin nodded. He was quite worried about Jisung. " I will do that under one condition"
Jisung hummed ,waiting for whatever Seungmin wanted "Tell me what's going on" and as soon as the word came out of Jisung's mouth, he broke down.
