spring break had ended. all of my friends are already here and getting ready for another set of stressful school days and terms. back again for quizzes, activities, performance and exams. i dont know if im ready enough to face another chapter of those in my life. arg.

so here i am, getting ready for school. today is monday. . start of new school days on spring season. i put some perfume all over my body. after that, i tucked my back bag on my shoulder before heading out of my unit. i locked it thrice just like i always did. i turned around to see seokmin and wonwoo walking down the hallways. i called for them and signalled them to wait for me. they did and after that, we started to walk to reach for our university.

"so. . flowers day today. for sure there are lots of pink petals scattered on the university grounds." seokmin whined.

wonwoo and i nodded. "why does it had to happen? geez. they're just wasting money for the flowers that would get withered as time goes by."

"i agree."

seokmin shook his head. "why am i cornered with bitter people?"

"we're not bitter. we'll just saying the fact." i argued.

"i second motion."

the three of us arrived at our university more earlier than usual. and as expected, almost all girls had already handling one or more pink flowers on their hands. wonwoo and i unconsciously shooking our heads side to side. we bade our goodbyes towards to each other. i had to go to the north while the both of them are heading to west. i went straight to my designated classroom. i dont want to see any pink flowers surrounding me.

it only took me some time to arrived at our classroom. i sat in the fifth middle row and waited for the prof to come. while waiting, i fished out my phone from my slacks pocket, checking if soonyoung texted me this morning. i just rolled my eyes when i didnt received any. well i wasnt expecting him to text me, i just thought he would. . because yeah, its monday and its the first day of another term. why do i expect anyways?

time flies so past. the first three profs are did just discuss about the syllabus then after that, she dismissed us earlier than usual. i went out of the classroom and proceed straight to our hide-out which is the gazebo nearby. when i went there, the three of them are playing some games. they called me and told to me to join. even if i dont know the instruction of the game, i just joined.

i frowned when seokmin and i lost the bet. now we have to do rock paper scissor five times in order for us to win. the loser will treat us black bean noodles later after class. i prayed so hard that i would win. seokmin did the same but luck is in my hands right now and i won. seokmin lost the battle and we are all celebrated since seokmin would treat us black bean noodles later after class. we teased seokmin until his phone rang indicating that he had another class to attend.

i also waved them my goodbyes since i had another class to go. before that, i went to my locker to check if everything was okay. on my way there, i heard some girls talking about the new transferred girl in major in choreographing. .it was soonyoung's major. so they had another classmate? i guess so. thats what i heard. soonyoung building and i are the same. and this locker is located within our building. so it was easy for me to go here from my previous classes.

as soon as i closed my locker, my eyes widened as i saw soonyoung leaning against the locker beside mine. his both hands are on his back and he gave me sly sweet smile. i arched him a brow.

"what?"

he shook his head. "i just missed you."

i rolled my eyes. "you could have texted me to meet you somewhㅡ"

"soonyoung~"

we both shifted our gaze to the girl who just arrived in the corner. my brows furrowed. she's the girl whom i met before at pledis. and the girl who told me that soonyoung wasnt gay. shes smiling ear to ear and went straight to soonyoung's side. after that, she shifted her gaze to me and her smile faded.

"oh i never knew that even here, you guys are friends." sarcasm.

soonyoung smiled to her. "y-yeah. of course."

friends huh?

the girl look at soonyoung's back. the girls eye widened. "omg. its that for me? gosh soonyoung-ssi." then she fished out the pink rose on soonyoung's hand.

i rolled my eyes as soonyoung let her handle the rose. i can also see that soonyoung was still smiling to her like it was really for her. . well i thought it was for me.

soonyoung scratch his nape. "um. ." he looked at me apologetically. i just nod. "yeah for you, lina. i was just asking jihoon for help."

what?! did he just?! he told me a minute ago that he missed me, and now he's just gonna asked me for help?! did i heard it right? well yeah. i dont need flowers. as what wonwoo had said ealier, it will get withered as time goes by. its just flower, it will cause me nothing.

i rolled my eyes. "you haven't told me any."

soonyoung pursued his lips. "i-im soㅡ"

"no. its fine. i was just surprised that you'll ask for help without me knowing." i smiled to them. "i should go. you guys can enjoy your private time." soonyoung was about to held my arms but i didnt let him as i walked away from the scene, frowning.

for the following hours, i tried to focus my attention on the prof in front even if they're not discussing any. after the few orientations, the class already dismissed. i went out of the classroom and proceeded straight to the university's main exit, since the waiting shed outside is our rendezvous. remember, seokmin will treat the four of us a black bean noddles. i wish minghao was here with us.

i was about to go on the exit but someone grabbed me using my arms and i just found myself in between his arms. based on my heart beat, i know who he was. i tried to get rid of him but he hugged me tighter.

"soonyoung." i said in hoarse voice.

"im sorry, babe." he said in a soft low voice.

i tapped his shoulder consecutive times to let me go. he freed the hug and cupped my face. "im sorry, okay? the rose, its totally for you. i should have gave it to you more sooner. im sorry."

"yah its fine. i dont need flowers."

"but those showed that i liked someone."

i smiled. "you had showing me how much you like me. you're certain right?"

he nodded. "i am."

"its enough." i said widing the gap between us. "i need to go. my friends are waiting for me outside."

but before he let me go. he kissed my forehead, long enough to make me feel how sincere he was for me. i nodded and gave him a smile.

"im sorry, okay?"

i nodded and went out of the room. he called my name again but i didnt bother to turn around. i saw jeonghan, wonwoo and seokmin walking to the exit so i called for them and walked with them until we headed to the waiting shed where we saw seungkwan staring at someone. they looked good together. i conclude.

jeonghan hyung called for seungkwan and he made his way towards us. were teasing seungkwan until we arrived at the parlor.
