I was asleep in my bed when my phone rang. I groaned and sat down to reach for my phone.
"Yoboseyo?" I said, my eyes are still half open.
"Hyejin! I'm Mina. Are you better now?" he spoke at the end there.
"Uh. Why'd you call me?" my many.
"Oh, give me some time" he said and I heard him screech. I was confused and chuckled at her strangeness but still waited for her to speak again.
"OK, I'm back," he said. "I just wanted to say that...I'M TAEHYUNG'S GIRLFRIEND!"
My smile faded and my heart broke into thousands of pieces in an instant. What did I hear right? Tears began to form in my eyes without me knowing. I'm throats.
"Jinjja?! Oh, my God, I'm so happy for you! Lasting okay!" I told her on the phone, trying to sound so happy for her.
"Thank you so much Hyejin! I'll buy some food for Master Hyejin okay!" said.
I pretended to laugh. "I have to go now. Annyeong-kataku and we disconnected the connection.
I sighed, hugging my pillow. My tears slowly formed and started falling down my cheeks.
Why am I so heartbroken? Why am I sad? All these questions remain without an answer. I don't know if I should be happy for my best friend, when deep inside my heart this thing is killing me.
I must be crazy. I tried hard to erase all the thoughts in my mind and went to sleep.

Monday came and I stepped into school but I already wanted to get out. I walked slowly to my locker and was about to open it when suddenly my sight caught something.
Taehyung walks with Mina past the hallway, hands on Mina's shoulders, and they laugh happily.
I felt a lump in my throat. I turned to my locker, trying to calm down and ignore everything. I quickly picked up the book in the locker and slammed my locker to close it, rushing to class.
I finally got to my stool and lounged in my chair, sighing.
Everyone in the class was playing, while I looked like a rotting human sitting in one corner, looking down.
Suddenly Taehyung and Mina enter the classroom, and her hands are coiled around her waist - Mina. I sipped, erasing my sorrow.
"OHH! Mina and Taehyung couple!" The boys in my class teased them and threw paper at them.
"Stop!" Taehyung shouted, everyone gasped and obeyed him.
The girl in my class congratulated Mina as she sat in her place.
"Thank you all. Thank you very much." she thanked everyone and combed her hair with her fingers.
Mina then turned to me, and I quickly smiled at her, saying 'congratulations' to her. She smiled back and thanked me.
I turned around, feeling very hypocritical.
...***...
Time off and I don't have ****dining. I slowly headed to the third floor.
I passed the piano and was still walking, when suddenly I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around and there was no one. I turned back to face forward and walked back.
Suddenly, I was pushed against the wall. He looked at me and caught me with his two hands, pressing against the wall.
I'm staring. "Get aside, Kim Taehyung," I said and tried to push him away. "I said step aside!"
"SILENCE!" he shouted in front of me and I fell silent, looking at him. My eyes began to blur as tears began to form in my eyes ready to overflow.
"I'm giving you the last chance to talk" he said and looked me in the eye, looking serious.
"You like me, don't you?" ask Taehyung.
I let out a breath. "I said I don't like you! Can you stop! You already have a boyfriend! What are you doing?!"
he laughed sarcastically and slipped his hand in his pocket.
"I was just asking if you liked me. I didn't say I'd leave my girlfriend and go with you. I don't even like you" she told me, cold.
I wiped my tears and looked at her. "I don't like you. Like that, so stop bothering me," I told him and ran away.

"All right, so your test is next week. Remember to study and do your best as this is a midterms exam, which means it's very important to improve your performance, your preparation for the entrance exam," Ms. Jaei said.
Everyone is grumbling. I leaned my head against the table, feeling weak.
Seojun. "Heyjin? You okay?" tanyakanya.
he looked confused at first but then nodded.
After school, Seojun and I went to the library and sat at an empty table. We took our textbooks and started our improvement.
"What do you want to tell me?" Seojun asked me.
"I just wanted to. tell you that..." I nervously put my pen down. "Can we get back together again?"
Seojun's eyes widened, he choked on his saliva and kept coughing until the library guards told him to shut up.
"W-why?"
I smiled at him, "I just miss you. Sorry for leaving you, I made a very stupid mistake."
he smiled at me, wide. "Uh... I don't know," he said as he put his finger to his hair, becoming embarrassed.
"Oh come on, babe" I said and winked at him.
His cheekbones lifted as he smiled, embarrassed. "OK," said.
"Now let's learn."
I grinned at him and took my pen, looked at my book and went back to study.
Suddenly, my smile faded and I couldn't concentrate on learning. I stared blankly at the page of the book, thinking of something else. I let out a breath. To be honest, I didn't start falling for Seojun or anything like that. I camped him to forget Taehyung. Even if I don't love her in a sure way, I know I can cultivate feelings for her, and forget about Taehyung.
An hour and a half later we were tired of studying and closed our book. I'm ringing my fingers.
"Can we walk around the library?" I asked Seojun.
he nodded and we stood up. I wanted to walk towards the bookshelf when I suddenly felt her hands wrapped around my waist. I gasped a little, but I looked at him and smiled. I should be able to use this.
Suddenly, some girls walked past us and threw fiery gazes at me.
"Seojun ah's? You got a relationship now? With this garbage...this?" One of the girls spoke to her as she twirled her hair scrutinizing and judging me from top to toe.
Seojun nodded and pulled me closer to him. "Well, you guys want to take another picture with me or what?" Seojun asked.
Another girl approached him and wrapped her hands around Seojun's. "Seojun ah, can't you spend time with us today?" said.
I looked at him disgusted. Don't they know I'm his girlfriend yet?! I sighed and waited for her to finish teasing Seojun.
Because of her appearance, the girls at school start to surround her, taking pictures and eating with her during breaks. Flirts.
I'm throats. "Seojun, let's go" I told him and pulled him. I could feel the girls punch my back with their gazes.
I held hands with him and walked around the library, adapting to the skinship. I looked around looking for a good novel and he did too.
We were walking when suddenly we met two people we knew.
Mina and Taehyung.
They also hold hands. I felt Seojun's grasp tighter.
"Oh? You guys here too?" mina said to us.
I looked at Seojun, then back at him. "Yes, we're just finishing our repairs for the upcoming exams. Just rest now," my soot on him.
"Ah... I-i understand. Oh, you're a couple now huh. How come you never told me about this, Hyejinnie." Mina teases.
I pretended to smile and stole a glance at Taehyung. I saw him staring at my hand that Seojun was holding. I turned and awkwardly stared at the bookshelf.
"Uhs. See you next time. We're leaving now" I said and he nodded. We passed each other when Taehyung's shoulder hit me. My eyes are a little watery, my heart is beating fast.
"Seojun?"
"Hmm?"
"Can I go to the toilet for a second?" ask him and he nodded. I quickly rushed to the toilet to wash my face.
I could feel warm tears falling on my cheeks. No, I can't cry anymore. I have to get more from Taehyung. I washed my face again and wiped my tears, trying to look good.
I came out of the toilet and saw Seojun waiting for me outside.
"You okay?" tanyakanya.
"Yep. Come home now," I said. she smiled and put her hand on my shoulder as we walked to the table picking up our bags.
