(Jimin's POV)
After I took Sohyun to her class, I was walking towards the music room when I started seeing students chattering and playing around in the hall, which surprised me. 'I thought it was still early! There usually isn't any students until 8:15! What time is it?!' I checked a nearby school clock that on the wall and it said 8:20! 'Damn it! Did it really take me That long to walk to school and take Sohyun to her class? What about Eunji?' That weird feeling came back when I thought of Eunji. D-Do I l-love Eunji??
I wonder if I'll run into her today.
As I was mentally talking to myself, I accidentally bumped into someone, making both of us fall on the floor. I looked to see who it was slightly wishing that it was Eunji. It wasn't her. It was just Mijin. I haven't actually gotten to meet her but I occasionally see her in the halls. She seems nice. She noticed it was me and she immediately became really nervous.
Why?
"U-Uh, I'm sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going. Oh and I'm sorry for last time too." She said without making any eye contact. 'Last time? Have we bumped into each other before?'
"It's okay. You didn't mean to......Mijin, right?" I said as I picked myself up.
She shyly nodded and looked at me for one second before she looked in a different direction. In that one second of eye contact, I could see a little pang of sadness in her eyes.
It made me wonder what happened. I wanted to know.
I dusted off my shirt then held out my hand gesturing to help her up, wanting to be a gentleman. She saw it and blushed but tried to hide it still not looking at me, as she took it. As I helped her up, I smelled alittle bit of her perfume. Sweet Cotton Candy. It fit her perfectly. I tried to look at her but she avoided eye contact by looking at her feet.
There was a bit of an awkward silence..
I was about to say something but she began to speak, "Umm, well I guess i'll be going now. haha. I don't want to be late to class since it's..." She checked her wrist-watch, seeing what time it was. Her eyes widened. "8:29! Well bye J-Jimin. U-Um, see you later?" She questioned as she smiled and slightly blushed.
Her smile...I knew it was just a mask. Deep inside, I knew she was sad. I wanted to know why. I wanted to help.
But seeing her cheeks a nice shade of pink made her look kinda cute. I chuckled.
"Yeah." I said as I smiled at her. And with that, she ran off. I stood there replaying what just had happened. The image of her blushing made me smile but the sadness in her eyes made me curious. Then I remembered what she had said to me,
"I don't want to be late to class since it's....8:29! Well bye J-Jimin. U-Um, see you later?"
I smiled and sighed.
'WHAT! 8:29!! OH NO! I can't be late! Not Again!!'
I gasped and ran to class.
Right when my feet made it in the classroom, the bell rang. I let out a relieved sigh and bent down slightly to try and catch my breath. "That was a close one." I said in between my breaths.
"Yes, it was, Mr.Park." I looked up to see Mrs.Kim standing infront of me, tapping her right foot and her arms crossed, giving me a look. There were students in the background, smiling and giggling sliently. "Now, will you please take your seat so class can start." She said sternly. I sighed and went to sit down. "Thank you." She said as she walked back to the front of the class. "MmHmm." I said.
I can already tell that today is Not gonna be a good one.

(Mijin's POV)
When I woke up, all I heard was silence. I checked my clock and it was, 7:35. I got out of bed and did my daily routine. After I was ready I went to my mirror. I smoothed out my light brown hair and fixed my uniform.
I sighed.
The silence was to much for me. I didn't like it.
The reason why I didn't go to school yesterday was because Appa had to be taken to the hospital. He collapsed. He's been fighting cancer for about a year now. The doctor said that Appa didn't have much longer so he's going to be kept at the hospital. Eomma stayed with him.
He was the person that made our family so happy. So cheerful. He was always so happy. I never saw him sad. He was what made our family a family. Eomma was always about work work work. Playing was just a waste of time to her.
'Why waste your time playing on a playground when you can be studying at home?' Is what she would ask me. 'Why waste your time studying at home when you can be playing on a playground!' Is what I would say back right before I would stick my tongue out at her, playfully. She said that I got my childishness from Appa.
I agree.
Appa would always find a way to have Eomma put work aside for once just to play with us. I was so grateful to have him as my father and I knew Eomma was too.
But after we found out about his cancer, it was already too late to do anything about it, is what the doctor said.
Eomma didn't take it too well. I mean, none of us did but Appa atleast tried to stay happy and cheerful just for us. Eomma soon got tired of it. Her and I both knew that he was really sad about it.
Eomma stopped having time for us. She would always blame it on herself. She would crowd herself with work. She started working late too. Not coming home til about 11. She couldn't stand to even look at Appa without breaking down into tears.
Eomma sobbed from when Appa collapsed to later last night when I had to leave to get ready to go to school the next day Which happened to be today because Eomma said to.
I really didn't want to go to school, but Eomma said that it'd be best so I wouldn't miss anything important since that's what she cares about and I couldn't say no because I didn't want to start anything especially since she was sobbing and hurting. But so was I.
I sighed.
I tried to suppress any sad thoughts. I put up my fake smile for today and went to school. I don't want to eat breakfast. I'm not hungry.
I always have been cheerful..at school. I don't Ever want anyone to see me cry. It won't happen. I want to be the strong friend whos there for anyone and everyone in need.
But it's hard. It really is.
When I entered the school I immediately went straight to my locker. After I grabbed my things that were needed for class, I went to look for Eunji.
Being with her makes me happy. I hope we can talk today. I need to talk to someone right now. Badly. Im not good at keeping my feelings to myself and when I have to, I hate it.
As I was looking, I accidentally bumped into someone, making me fall on the floor.
When I looked up to see who it was, It was Park Jimin. I became really nervous. This is the second time I've bumped into him. 'I've had a crush on him ever since I first saw him. He's just so..ugh....I can't even explain it. Too bad he's with Sohyun.' I tried to put on my happy face even though all I wanted to do was cry. I was nervous that he would notice.
"U-Uh, I'm sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going. Oh and I'm sorry for last time too." I said without making any eye contact. Im so nervous!
"It's okay. You didn't mean to......Mijin, right?" He said as he picked himself up.
I nodded shyly and looked at him realizing that he was already looking at me and I looked in a different direction. 'Oh my god stop looking at me, it's making my more nervous!'
He dusted off his shirt and held out his hand gesturing to help me up. I saw it and blushed but tried to hide it hoping that he didn't notice as I took his hand. As he helped me up, he tried to look at me but I avoided eye contact by looking at my feet. 'If I look at him, I think I might just melt.'
There was a bit of an awkward silence..
"Umm, well I guess i'll be going now. haha. I don't want to be late to class since it's..." I checked my wrist-watch, seeing what time it was. My eyes widened. "8:29! Well bye J-Jimin. U-Um, see you later?" I questioned as I smiled and slightly blushed again!!
"Yeah." He said as he smiled at me. 'My god. That smile of his.' After he said that I ran off to class.
I made it to class with a few seconds to spare. But when I went to sit down, I saw that Eunji's seat was empty. It made me worry. I had a bad feeling about it.
I hope she's okay.
