[yuna's p.o.v.]

'if your loved one avoids you, they might have found out about your feelings and aren't mutual.'  i read from my laptop, eventhough i wasn't sure about how i felt anymore towards him.

'honey, everyone knows you're head over heels with the dude.' bona says, through the lollipop she was eating as she lay on my bed.

'that's the thing! why is he avoiding me?' yuna says.

'here we go again—'

'i don't like him, for your information.'

'i wasn't even about to say that? ooo, yuna~'

'argh, shut up!' i throw a bt21 mang plush at her, it bounces off her  and the lollipop falls on the floor.

'and i told you not to eat that in my room!'

'sheesh, i'm heading out.' bona says, stepping out of my bed and exiting my room.

i bit the insides of my cheek, a habit i picked up whenever i was fustrated. i continued surfing around the internet until i realized my eyelids weren't holding each other well and decided to sleep.

i switched of my laptop and the lights off, tucked myself under the blanket and forced myself to drift off, but of course like the past few months, my mind wonders somewhere else. or, someone, to be exact. it's so stupid.

i counted sheeps and tossed myself all around the bed, running out of new positions and ended up laying wide awake, staring at the ceiling i've become fond of during my imsonias.

i needed serious help.

[the next day]

ryujin was out of boundaries now. it seems like just today chaeryeong and lia has noticed the sudden change, in which i told everything to them right before class.

once lunchtime came, we sat in our usual spot and seating, just that ryujin wasn't seated next to me no longer. she was with heejin and hyunjin. not the hwang, by the way.

'what's her problem, though?' lia asks as she glares at ryujin who was happily chattering with the 2 girls.

'i don't know. it's fishy.' chaeryeong remarks, as she spoons her food, placing her chin on her palm.

minutes passed and lia has not taken her eyes off the girl. i was starting to get worried at this point. my stomach had no appetite nor i wanted to eat. this gut feeling, almost like i was about to throw up, came back again. it churned and churned as lia's eyebrows furrow, and her knuckles that rested on the table peacefully now clenched together in anger.

'i'm going there.' she breaks the silence, standing up from her seat.

chaeryeong and i stood up in sync, reaching out for her forearm but she was already far ahead, stomping towards their table.

she planted a fist on the table, shaking the table along. heejin and hyunjin froze. ryujin looked up and recognized her old friend.

'hey, what's your-'

'what's wrong with you?!' lia suddenly lift ryujin's collar.
