Jihyo's POV

As I walked through the hallways early this morning. I saw a familiar back figure of someone walking. Realizing who it was, I immediately rushed towards her.

I slightly jump and placed my arm on her shoulder, making her flinched. I giggled

"Good morning, Dahyun-ah" I cheekily said but my smile faded. Noticing her eyes were kinda puffy. 

Okay?

"Good morning, unnie" She replied, not giving a glance at me


I removed my arm and starts walking with her

"It's new to me seeing you this early" I tried to tease, it made her chuckle


"I'm Dahyun's doppelganger. The opposite" She joked, but it wasn't some kind of cheeky joke. Her voice sounds tired, so I frowned


"You didn't sleep at all, did you?" I looked at her in suspicion


She sighed, knowing that she can't lie to me.

"I slept but...maybe just four hours? Five?" She said, hesitant.


I gasped at her, she just chuckled again

"It's fine, unnie. It's just school stuff but I'm fine" Dahyun finally looked at me, flashing a smile, and patted my shoulder


"See you at lunch?" She tilted her head, I nodded tho I was still worried about her


"Okay, bye" She waved her hand before getting inside the classroom


I sighed, She's clearly lying to me. Does she have any problem? Is it her dad again? Jieun? or that guy...

I felt my heart clenched as I remembered what happened two years ago. The sight of Dahyun made my knees feel weak, I almost cry...

*Flashback*


I ran through the hallway inside the hospital, I ignored all the stares that were darted at me. I felt my tears falling.

Everything was so sudden. I can't process everything.

And then I saw Tzuyu, Chaeyoung, and Jeongyeon outside the hospital room

They looked at me worriedly, one was panicking, and one was furious.

"Where is she?" I asked, almost tearing up. I was out of breath from running


"Inside" Tzuyu looked at me with worry.


I saw a bloodstain on Jeongyeon's white uniform. Jesus...

I tried to open the door but Jeongyeon stopped me

"I don't think she would let anyone enter, for now, Jih." Jeongyeon's tone was careful but her eyes were also teary.


"But Jeongyeon, I need to see her" I bit my lower lip, trying to control myself from crying. Chaeyoung was sitting, leaning her back on the wall, she was crying.


Jeongyeon stared at me for a while but gave up as she sighed and open the door

I rushed inside and was stopped seeing Dahyun's back figure sitting on the hospital bed, staring at the window

"I said I don't want to see anyone right now" Dahyun's tone was firm, but it cracked as she said those last words


"Dahyun...."I tried to walk closer. I could see those bruises on her arms
