8:33 AM / KMJ

I was midway throughout my test and gazed upon Yoohyeon and how fatigued she looked. I wasn't exactly worried for her, but I just wanted to know if she was okay. It was in human nature to still show a little bit of care towards people, so I didn't really think much of it.

The moment she took her bag, I saw her eyes close and open a few times. Her movement started getting wobbly and she didn't even know where she was going. When she opened the door and left, girls and boys shouting from outside were heard. The teacher went to investigate and he widened his eyes. He told us to stay in the classroom and not do anything.

Everyone was nosy and a few boys peeked through the door. One of them gasped while the other ones left the classroom to go check out what was happening. A girl from the back was also nosy and asked one of the guys that was by the door to tell what was going on.

"Yo Jihoon, what's happening outside?"

"Yoohyeon fainted!"

I felt the classroom get smaller and smaller when I heard him mention Yoohyeon's name. I watched as Bora went outside the classroom with everyone else, while I and one more girl were left inside - Chaewon. I was looking at her and she looked at me. I noticed her stare at me angrily and get closer to my desk, slamming her hands on it. I turned my head to stare at the window and she scoffed in annoyance.

"You really aren't going to check up on your girlfriend? What the fuck is wrong with you?"

"She's not my girlfriend. And what do you even know? Don't butt in our damn business Chaewon."

"I know enough to understand how much of a dumb person you are. Yoohyeon was too good for you. At least pretend to care a little bit for goodness sake."

"You know nothing about the things she did to me."

"I know everything Minji. We're friends, she told me. And it seems like you were the one who never really appreciated her anyway."

I finally turned my head to look at her and stared into her eyes with anger. I got up from my chair and held her by the collar, but she wasn't phased at all which pissed me off even more.

"What the fuck do you exactly want Chaewon."

"I want you to either get your shit together and stop judging Yoohyeon for her past or leave her forever. The way you're acting towards her isn't payback to what happened, you're just messed up."

I held her tighter by the collar and I was so close to punch that pretty little face of hers right then, but she pushed me away. She fixed her uniform and looked behind her just to make sure if there were people in here.

"Minji, do you still fucking like her or not? I'm sure if you did you wouldn't have broken up with her. I'm telling you this because I need you to stop making her suffer like this."

"It's what she deserves for hurting me in the past. You would have done the same."

"Don't act like you know me. I'd never do something like this if she never knew it was going to be this bad."

"She still did it-"

"Oh for fucks sake! Was it her that beat the living shit out of you? Was it her that wanted all of that to happen to you? Of course not and you fucking know it! Was it her that immediately broke up with Yunjin because of the guilt she felt? Oh, and was it her who jumped in trouble so many times just to save your life? I'm more than sure it was."

"The fuck do you-"

"What is it that you really want, Minji? I'm not someone very close to Yoohyeon, but the more we talk, the more she shares her true feelings and almost everything.. is all about how much she misses you. You're hurting her so much.. Is that what you really wanted..?"

I was speechless because I didn't know what to say. We heard commotion from outside and I watched her go back to her seat right before everyone started coming back. The teacher asked everyone to continue their tests while I was just sitting there, wondering...

What was it that I really wanted?
