It was another typical school day Friday and the hallways were packed 15 minutes before classes like the usual.

I just silently walked up to my locker to grab my books. It was my routine— to completely disregard the hustle in the hallway and just focus on myself.

"Oh, it's the Police Tape!" I was packing my bag when I heard a girl exclaim, which was then followed by the ascending squeals of fan girls.

And... just like the usual...

The five members of the famous band, Police Tape, arrived at the end of the hallway.

Their leader, Namjoon was walking a few steps ahead of the rest, and he has a girl standing next to him.

She didn't look like his girlfriend. In fact, she looked like their slave. She was holding a basket in her left hand, handing small pieces of paper to the people at the hallway.

I took a quick look at V, who was just walking coolly behind Hoseok. He looked so handsome with his red bandana today. He was wearing a leather jacket over a gradient purple and red shirt.

His face was expressionless, his eyes coolly scanning the area.

Namjoon passed by where I stood and the girl shyly handed me a piece of paper. I read what was inside it:

"Namjoon's throwing a party at his house tonight at 7pm!! Only cool kids are allowed, which means NO NERDS, NO LOSERS WITH GRADED EYE GLASSES AND CRAPPY OUTFITS!"

I quickly opened my locker and looked at my self in the mirror I had placed inside my locker.

I studied my outfit— my reading glasses, my mint green shirt with a big 'BOOKS NOT NOOKS' imprinted across the chest, and my simple black jeans.

Hmmm, yes, I may have this crappy shirt and this graded glasses but that doesn't mean that I'm a nerd! Because I am a journalist, and I just happen to like books but not a nerd.

I. AM. NOT. A. NERD.

I quickly wrote a note on the sheet of paper and folded it into an airplane.

Analyzing my angle properly, I flew the plane and luckily hit Jungkook's face.

I heard him grunt a bit. He quickly unfolded the plane and read my note out loud.

"Just because a person is wearing a 'crappy outfit' and graded glasses doesn't mean she's a nerd! And just because you say she's a nerd doesn't mean she's uncool!!! Whoever wrote this piece of shit is downright idiotic-" Jungkook paused and grinned, turning to V.

"Hyung, it says that whoever wrote the invitation was idiotic. So this gal here's saying you're an idiot." Jungkook laughed.

V's expression was blank and he snatched the crumpled paper from his dongsaeng.

He raised it and asked, "Who flew this paper?"

The entire hallway fell dead silent. V repeated, "WHO WROTE THIS NOTE AND FLEW THIS DAMN PAPER PLANE?!"

V looked mad. He was looking harshly around the hallway. He looked like he could kill someone at any moment by now.

I felt slightly nervous and I really wanted to exit the hallway now! But if I moved and walked away, they will become suspicious of me. So it's best just to stay calm and act like I'm innocent.

My heart was beating hard against my chest. I didn't intend to make Taehyung mad, I didn't know it was him who wrote that invitation! I shouldn't have done that!

I shouldn't have let my anger prevail, but now it's too late.

A girl across from me, obviously a cheerleader judging by the pompoms she has in her left hand, confidently raised her right hand. V's gaze jerked at the girl and said, "You?! Did you do this huh?!"

She chewed a bubblegum in her mouth and shook her head.

I felt the urge to run away. My gut was telling me that I'd be in big trouble because of this cheerleader.

"No, babe. She did."

I looked at the girl, and to my surprise, she was pointing at me.

V looked at me, breathing heavily. A couple of seconds later, a small smile scattered on his pretty face.

Dugdug, dugdug.

My heart rammed hard against my chest and I can't breath. It was as if the whole world blurred itself and focused on Taehyung and I, only the two of us.

It was dead silent, to the extent that I could hear my blood pumping in my ears.

"So, you did this, huh?" His voice was shockingly light and soft and sweet.

I couldn't believe it! He was supposed to be scorching mad at me... but he's not. He's smiling!

I nodded nervously. He was staring at me!

He sighed.

"I feel so stupid for caring... this note here just came from a worthless nobody." He said, turning around and chuckled with the rest of the Police Tape.

The hallway errupted into whistles and laughter. I can feel hot blood rushing to my cheeks.

I stood frozen in my spot, letting the embarassment surge through me like toxic.

How dumb was I to think that Taehyung wouldn't do anything humiliating to me because of that smile?!

Yes, he was right. I was a worthless nobody— to him, to Police Tape, and to everybody in this world.

I turned around and slammed my locker shut, holding my breath to stop myself from crying.

I darted towards my classroom, eyes heating because of the tears that are attempting to fall.

I was stupid. I was stupid to ever do that thing, to ever write a note and say they were idiots.

But I was more stupid to think that I wasn't a nerd. I looked at my reflection as I passed by a mirror.

"I feel so stupid for caring... this note here just came from a worthless nobody."

I couldn't bear it this time. It was too much.

And in that moment, a stubborn tear had escaped, and I didn't stop it.
