eunji's p.o.v

"Eunji?" I felt Jungwon tap my shoulder as I turned around to him.

"What's up?"

"Do you get along with Aurora?"
My eyes widened slightly at his question.

For some reason he didn't stop talking about her ever since they worked together, "Why?" I raised an eyebrow, feeling slightly annoyed.

"Do you like her?"

"I do. I like her soooo much that I want to spend the rest of my life with her." I rolled my eyes, turning away from him again.

Just when I was about to continue writing down the date of our upcoming exam, he spoke again, "Don't like her."

"What?" I scoffed, dropping my pen.
And right before he could elaborate, Aurora was already walking up to our desk as if she heard us talking about her.

"Good morning, Eunji." She smiled brightly, giving me no choice but to smile as well, "And you too, Jungwon."
I watched her closely and noticed how her smile fell when she noticed that he wasn't looking at her.

"Jungwon." She called for him again, leaning really really really (really) close to him. To the point where she was whispering directly in his ear, "Can we talk...?"

My eyes widened.
What the hell were they doing at our desk?
When I was right next to them?

Clearing my throat, I stood up to leave, "There's something I need to do. You two...continue whatever you were doing."
I awkwardly spoke, turning away from them.

In the corner of my eyes, I could see Jungwon glancing at me after I rose from my seat.
But I couldn't care less.
If they wanted to talk, I was going to give them the privacy they needed.

The moment, I stepped out of the classroom I heard her heartfelt laughter fill up the whole room.

Immediately, I went outside to get some fresh air, ignoring the weird feeling and heavy weight on my chest.

Did they become this close already?

It took me so long to finally break down Jungwon's protective walls and become his friend.
My pride was hurt numerous times but I still crawled back and asked him again and again.

So how did Aurora manage to approach him just like that?

"And that stupid question..." I muttered to myself, kicking the little rock in front of me forcefully.
Of course I liked Aurora!
Everybody adored her, how could I not?!

Aurora was adorable, had good grades and her personality was one of those that you couldn't get enough from. Despite her shyness, she was the most considerate person to ever exist to the point where it wasn't an exaggeration to say that she was like an angel.

She was simply the complete opposite of me.

"If it wasn't for you, I'd fall for her too." I mumbled angrily, letting myself drop on a bench.
I always told myself to never be jealous of someone because I wanted to accept myself the way I was. Even though it was pretty difficult at some times.

But there are times where I can't help but wonder -

If I was more like her...would you like me more?

eunji's p.o.v end

Jungwon on the other hand was feeling just as conflicted as Eunji was feeling.

He was now leaning against the black board in an empty classroom after Aurora had asked him to go somewhere quiet to talk.
