Chae Byeol
It was finally lunch time, but of course my stomach was being weird.
I stared at my food, trying to convince myself to eat it but I couldn't.
"Byeol-ah, are you going to fight your food?"
Soojin broke me out of my trance.
"Huh?"
"You're starting at your food so intensely. Like it was a backstabbing friend."
I blushed a bit, I probably looked weird.
"Oh no I am fine, Jugyeong do you want my chicken?"
I knew that was her favorite.
She smiled and immediately took it.
"Thank you!"
I smiled back and got up.
"I am going for a walk."
They nodded and I went to throw away my food.
I found my myself walking in the center of the campus. It was the prettiest to me. The building looked like a castel a beautiful queen lived in.
I wasn't realizing where I was going and I bumped into someone.
I looked up and of course it was Han Seo Jun.
Deju Vu.
"Oh, sorry."
He said. His posy was behind him.
I just continued walking along.
Now the tables have turned.
"Hey Byeol-ah"
I turned around to him. He was about to say something but he dragged me away from his friends so we were alone.
"Are you okay? Mr. Han said you went to the hospital. Why didn't you tell me?"
I knew I should've messaged him but it would stress him out. Especially if he found out the truth.
"Oh, yea just my stomach has been weird. I am perfectly fine now."
I smiled trying to convince him. He didn't believe it. He scanned my face and then my body.
"Seojun, you should really stop checking me out. I know I am hot."
I teased him. But he didn't even smile.
"What's that on your wrist?"
Uh oh.
I looked down to the monitor.
"Oh that's just a watch, I am forgetful you know."
"Where are the numbers then?"
He was too smart for this.
"It's digital--"
"Then tap it so I can see the time."
"Just check your phone."
He grabbed my wrist and tapped the monitor. My heart rate popped up and starting increasing because of how embarrassed I was getting.
"Didn't know 115 was a time."
He scoffed.
"Listen, my mom is just worried and made me wear it."
"Worried about what?"
He stepped closer, he wanted the truth.
"Seojun, just leave it please."
"Fine. But you better tell me soon, I don't want to be worried constantly about you. You know I hate secrets."
Worried? Why would he care?
"Well you have secrets too."
I snapped back.
"No I don't."
"Oh really? Then what's with your sudden interest in Jugyeong?"
He looked stunned.
"That's something different-"
"Well I'll explain when you explain."
I smirked and walked away. I was honestly curious though. Ever since they started to get close my heart started acting weird.
It's not Seojun-
I shook my head. These thoughts were messing with me. I didn't have a crush on him. He's just my friend.
Right?

Chae Byeol
It was math class and I was starting to feel tired. I do fine in math but it's just boring sometimes. The teacher broke me out of tired state.
"Okay who wants to solve the next questions?"
I just looked down, picking my nails.
"How about our math geniuses, the Soo-Soo couple?"
I sighed. I looked up and saw the teacher making eye contact with me.
Please don't-
"Of course the math goddess herself, Byeol-ah. Can you come solve number 3?"
I smiled and nodded. I didn't want to do it. My brain was too tired for this.
"And......our new girl. Lim Jugyeong, can you solve number 4?"
Everyone else sighed in relief that they weren't chosen. I reluctantly got up.
We all stood up by the chalkboard. Sooho and Soojin were speedily writing while I took my time. It's been a while since I did math. I was almost done when I noticed Jugyeong was just stuck there.
I looked at her and she looked back in a pleading way. I went to help her but the teacher saw.
"Ah, Byeol-ah. I know you love to help but Jugyeong needs to know this subject."
I retracted my hand and mouthed 'sorry' to her. Sooho was done at that point. Soojin and I finished our problems and walked backed. I gave Jugyeong a thumbs up.
I sat back down as the teacher walked up to her.
"Jugyeong-ah? The problems are different, there is no point in looking."
I felt bad for her but she just laughed it off.
"Right?"
Suddenly there was a loud laugh from behind me. I didn't have to turn for me to know it was Seojun. The teacher turned to him.
"Oh, Seojun must know the answer. Come out and solve the answer for her."
I looked back and saw him putting his head down.
"That won't work on me. Come up now."
I laughed a bit along with the class. He got up while Jugyeong came back smiling.
Seojun came walking by me and looked at Jugyeong with a glare.
"Idiot."
I muttered but he heard it. He looked back at me and I just smiled.
"Han Seojun, today please."
He rolled his eyes and walked up.
Karma is a bitch.

Soojin, Jugyeong, Soo-ah and I were walking on campus with our arms locked together.
"I guess I can't go to college by flunking math."
Jugyeong said disappointed.
"Don't stress too much. Math is boring anyways."
I said trying to cheer her up.
"I'll never get into college"
Jugyeong whined.
"Why don't you join our math academy? Soojin and Sooho take classes there too. Oh Byeol, you should come too, you haven't been with us in forever."
I completely forgot they did that. I used to make Seyeon attend with me since Math wasn't his best subject.
"Should I?"
Jugyeong looked between Soojin and me.
"Yes."
We both agreed.
"My mom did tell me to join math classes."
"Then join us. You join our session. You better come too Byeol."
I smiled and nodded.
Well, I don't have much of a life so why not? Luckily my check ups are right after school. So I can hurry and meet them.
We were walking and encountered Sooho sitting down on a bench.
"Sooho, you want to join our study session? We have room for one more."
Soojin asked him. We all stopped infront of the bench.
"No."
He still is so blunt.
"My mom will only approve if you study with us."
Soojin pleaded. I almost forgot how strict her parents are.
I wonder if she's okay.
"Then tell her I am."
He shut his book and got up.
"You want me to lie? Just join us."
He went to walk away but I grabbed on to him.
"Stop being dramatic and just come. You look liked you need some social time anyways."
He hesitated and looked down on to my wrist. He noticed the monitor. He looked back at me confused.
Is it that noticeable?!
I took my arm back before he could question it. He just turned around and walked away.
"What's with him? Always playing hard to get."
Soojin sighed.
"It's what I expected. So I guess it's just us 4 and my Hoonie."
"Got it. We'll began once Jugyeong and Byeol come. If you skip class to go on a date with Taehoon...... you're out."
I laughed at their bickering.
"I got it!"
Soo-ah whined.
"Oh, by the way I have the number for the guy I am setting you up with, Jugyeong."
"Already?"
"Oh, what's this? Jugyeong getting someone special."
I teased her.
"He'll call you soon. I can set you up with someone as well Byeol."
"No, I am fine."
Soo-ah nodded and brought out her phone.
"But look isn't he handsome?"
The guy looked okay.
"It's all about personality."
Soojin stated.
"Yea I agree, guys with a face like that can be total jerks. For example, Sooho himself."
Soojin laughed. I looked to my side and saw Sooho still there.
He didn't hear that did he?
He didn't notice my stare and just stood there. Like he was eavesdropping.
"But be careful, make sure to meet up a few times before you officially date."
"I don't think I am ready yet. Maybe I should meet him to get rid of the rumors?"
Poor her, she has to get someone just to stop those dumb rumors.
"Yea. That's what I was thinking. He's already head over heels for you!"
Jugyeong blushed.
Just hope she doesn't date some jerk because of the rumors.

Hello!!
Sooho still cares for Byeol, he's a liar if he says otherwise. Also forgot to mention Byeol's height so I did a lil comparison for those wondering. I am doing the actress height, she is 165cm (5"4).
She is smol but that's part of her charm :). Anyways hoped you enjoyed this!
