"Oh my gosh I did it. I actually did it." Haejun was panicking as he stood in the foyer of his house.

"Haejun-ah? You're home." A voice called from the living room.

"Yes Eomma!" Haejun spoke before reverting back to panic mode and taking off his shoes.

Just then, Hyunjun came down the stairs with a glare.

"Where have you been? It's almost 9." He asked with crossed arms.

"Out." Haejun spoke with a sigh as he walked past his brother and entered his bedroom.

Hyunjun, however, followed him with confusion written all over his face. "With who? I asked Kiandra and she wouldn't say."

"Gosh, stop pestering me Hyunjun." Haejun whined as he dropped his bag onto the floor and sat on his bed.

"Haejun this isn't funny. You're out so much later than usual."

Haejun, fed up with the entire situation just decided to spill,"Fine I was out eating pizza with a boy."

"A BOY?!" Hyunjun exclaimed.

"Yes. A very nice boy. The same boy who gave me HICKEYS!" Haejun yelled. "Now, get out!" Haejun shoved his brother out of his bedroom and locked the door behind him.

"Haejun! What?! What are you talking about?!" Hyunjun was trying to open the door.

"I am not pure!" Haejun yelled before storming into his bathroom and washing up for the night.

He could finally hear his brother's angry footsteps back to his own room. Great, now I have to sneak out in the morning to avoid Hyun too.

The moment he finished and put on his pajamas, he grabbed his phone and dialled Kiandra's phone number.

He could see that Elijah had called him a few times and texted a lot more.

"I can't bring myself to read it.." Haejun mumbled as he dismissed the notifications and called Kiandra.

"How did it go?" Were the first words to come out of her mouth when she picked up.

"I told him." Haejun spoke.

"You did?!" Kiandra squealed.

"Yep." Haejun mumbled.

"Oh.. Jun.." Kiandra whispered,"Did he reject you?" She asked softly.

"I don't know."

"What?"

"I don't know if he rejected me."

"What did he say when you told him?"

"I don't know! I just ran away and he's been texting and calling me but I don't want to hear a rejection so I haven't opened it."

"I want to smack you Haejun."

"I know! Me too!" Haejun sighed before checking the time,"I think I'll just go to bed."

"Oh.. okay.. Do you want me to come by tomorrow morning like usual?"

"Nah.. I'll get a ride from my mom. I know she's leaving early tomorrow." Haejun sighed,"See you later."

"Bye Jun."

･:*:･

It turns out, avoiding someone during the school day is impossibly difficult. Unlike the times when Haejun was just admiring from afar, Elijah was practically everywhere.

Haejun would turn a corner and see the male talking to someone or looking around a lot.

"Ughhhh." Haejun groaned as he sat down next to Kiandra in the courtyard, "I can't do this! I can't go to class."

"I know how you can buy time for just one day."

"How? Just tell me!"

"Fake being sick. Go to the nurse and lie about having stomach pains.. she usually let's you lay down."

"Kiandra you're a genius."

"I know!" She smiled at Haejun as she finished her chips.

Finally the bell rang and Haejun nervously made his way to the math class. He peeked inside and didn't see Elijah. And for the first time the teacher was early.

"Mrs.Patel, can I go to the nurse? My stomach really hurts from lunch." Haejun asked with a soft whine in his tone.

"Sure." She dismissed him and Haejun immediately left the room.

Only to walk right into Elijah.

"Haejun-"

"I'm g-going to the n-nurse." Haejun pushed past him and left.
