9:26 AM / KYH

"YOU TWO ARE WHAT??"

I told Bora about what happened earlier and it was safe to assume she was not having any of it.

"You cannot be serious right now. How can you be friends with someone like her?"

"I don't know Bora! She just seems different than before, I don't know how to explain it, but she does."

"People do not change in a few days, Yoohyeon.."

"I know, but maybe... maybe we just don't know the real her? Maybe she's different than what we know of?"

"Yoohyeon are you hearing yourself right now? You befriended the school's biggest delinquent and the literal definition of trouble. Do you know how bad this is going to be for your reputation?"

She was right.. But something about Minji felt different than before and I think I might try my best to prove it to Bora.

What was I even thinking right now?

Was I actually thinking of wanting to get close to Minji? She was definitely still the same awful person and was just using me to learn guitar. After all of this is over, she will for sure stop talking to me and we'll go back to our ways of never uttering a word to eachother again. It's better than being in bad terms, right?... I mean, what else can even happen between us?

"Hey Yoohyeon! Your girlfriend is here!"

"HUH?"

I instantly switched my gaze towards one of my classmates after I heard him say that. I got scared of my thoughts for a moment. Something is definitely not okay with me these days, I should take a chill pill. He pointed at the opened door and a familiar girl popped out of there.

Oh. My. God.

"LEE SIYEON?"

Bora shouted the moment she saw who peaked from the door. A smiling Siyeon was waving with her fingers and aggressively motioned me to come to her. I got up from my chair and heard my classmates making comments about us, until Bora shut them all up by glaring at them. She could be so scary sometimes..

"Siyeon? What's wro-"

"Did you actually become friends with Minji?"

"I did..? Is that bad?"

"Bad?! No no, not at all! I'm just so.."

"So..?"

Siyeon paused for a moment to take out her water bottle from her back pocket and drink the smallest sip humanity could come across. Where did she even get that bottle from? She's so extra.. it's funny.

"So.. god damn sick of listening to her talk and talk and talk AND TALK about how she finally has another friend."

That.. was not the response I expected. I tilted my head and just listened to Siyeon's complaints that didn't even sound like complaints.

"I'm so happy she finally has someone else other than me, but you have no idea how tiring it is to be her friend.. I had to listen to her voice for a whole lesson. A WHOLE LESSON."

"It can't be that bad-"

"It is that bad."

We talked for a bit until Bora popped out of the classroom and walked straight to us with an annoyed face.

"Yooh, the class can't stop assuming you two are actually dating, so can you get back inside and just clear up the little misunderstanding?"
