it was recess and i walked to the canteen with renjun and haechan since ahyun went to meet jaemin.

"yieun , look." renjun pointed to a locker. it is jaemin's.

it is full with harsh words written with red marker pen. i approached his locker.

"do you have wet tissues?" i asked.

"i do." haechan said and he gave it to me.

i tried to remove it while holding back my tears , jaemin doesn't deserve this.

"what are you doing?" someone holds my hand , stopping me.

"you can stop , i'm fine." jaemin said.

"no , i'm not fine. i can't bear seeing people treating you like this." i said.

"i'm okay. i don't care." he smiled faintly.

"are you sure?" i asked.

"ahyun consoled me. i'm fine now." he said as he looked at ahyun.

"thanks , ahyun." i said.

"no problem. let's eat." she said and we all nodded. i know we all trying our best to make this situation okay.

we entered the cafeteria. again , the whispers don't stop.

"let's eat at the rooftop." ahyun suggested.

"sure." haechan said.

"i'm fine , i'll just wait at the class. you all can go and eat." jaemin said.

"i'll go with you." renjun said as he puts his hand on jaemin's shoulder.

"huh?"

"yeah , we'll go with you." jeno joined.

"of course , we are friends after all." haechan added and they started to walk.

"oh my , they abandoned us." i muttered.

"yieun , you want to do some crazy thing?" ahyun asked.

"what kind of crazy thing?" i asked.

"let's meet sujin. i have so many things to say to her." she said.

"let's do that." i agreed.

"i think i know she's at. let's go." ahyun said as she pulled my hand.

"wait ahyun , you're fine right? not at your unusual state right?" i asked , making sure she's not mad.

"i still can control my emotions now. i don't know how it will be after talking to her." she stated whilst walking straight , still holding my hand tightly. i can feel her hand trembled. she's upset after all.

i sighed.

we finally found her.

"sujin , let's talk." ahyun said , blocking her way.

"move aside , i have nothing to say." she said as she purposely hit ahyun's shoulder while walking.

"stop there." ahyun said , i can tell she's holding back her anger from her voice.

sujin ignored her words and continue walking. ahyun walked to her and garbbed her shoulder.

"are you deaf or something?" ahyun said.

"let go of me , what are doing right now?" sujin asked as she shot a glare.

"you have no right to talk like that with me. you ruined my party..-"
