Jungkook sighed as his imo told him that they will back home on Monday. He just freaking missed Byeol.
He managed to gave Byeol a call.
Only to get the disappointing voice answered him.
"The number you've dialled couldn't be reached at this time. Please try again later."
Jungkook sighed.
What are you doing now? I miss you.

"Omma, I'll get going!" Byeol informed her mother before going to school.
She took a glance at Jungkook's house. She sighed for a while and get going. Cycling to school alone.
***
Byeol's day never be that gloomy. She felt alone actually and newly realised that she only has a friend in her high school years. It was saddening but couldn't be helped.
The school bell newly rang as a sign that the class will start at any time. Byeol buried her face into the random page of her literature text book.
Hoping that the day will end fast.
"Attention."
Jihyo, the class president commanded her classmates as their homeroom teacher stepped in for daily attendance check.
Mr. Seokjin stepped in with his beautiful aura. His wide shoulder and sharp jaw line were perfect as always. His face was glowing this morning, captivating everyone's eyes also as always. This youngest teacher of the school never had ugly image after all. Everything from him are beautiful and pretty.
'Mr Seokjin..why you even be a teacher with that amazing face.'
Byeol mumbled softly. Wondering hard.
"Good morning. A new week and I hope you are getting that new spirit too." He smiled, motivated everyone in the class.
"Sure!" The students answered excitedly but not Byeol. She propped her head with her hand and scribbled some meaningless words on the book emotionlessly.
"So...today I get you guys a surprise." Mr Seokjin still smiling while all the students except Byeol giving full attention.
Mr Seokjin turned his head to the door. He nodded and turned his head back to the class. "You've got a new friend."
The whole class totally anticipating it but then there was Byeol who still didn't care.
"Hello. My name is Kwon Hoshi. Nice to meet you."
Byeol's busy hand suddenly froze. Such a familiar voice after all.
She lifted her head at last. Her jaw dropped.
The earphone boy!

"Hi, finally...the time has came."
Hoshi's sweet smile made Byeol's heart in chaos. He sat after her on the bench that facing the school's basketball court during recess. The atmosphere was awkward but both of them didn't hesitated to talk to each other.
"You're not stalking me, right?" Byeol suddenly asked out of her nervousness.
"Well, I am not sure. I thought you're stalking me." Hoshi shrugged and chuckled in a bit.
"Yah... I am not." Byeol whined as denial.
Hoshi turned his body to Byeol. "I am really happy to see you. We're classmates now." His face was full with happiness.
Byeol nodded. She was blushing a lot. "Finally, I know your name. I am happy too."
"So, a proper way?" Hoshi reached out his arm, wanted to have a handshake.
"Uhm." Byeol tried to be calm. She was welcoming his hand. "Hi, I am Kim Byeol."
Their eyes were locked to each other. The handshake which was so lovely gave both tingles in their heart. "Nice to meet you, I am Hoshi. Kwon Hoshi."
"So...your mom named you really well." Byeol was figuring out as Hoshi told her that his mother is Japanese last time.
"Wow, you know Japan words?" His face was lit up.
She shook her head. "Not really. Hoshi means..." she pursed her lips. She knew but unsure.
Hoshi cut her words. "Byeol." He smiled. "It's like we are destined to be together. A soulmate."
Byeol didn't really sure what she felt but her heart was beating totally fast and almost exploded. The thought of they were soulmate really enough make her happy for 5 years more.
***
"Byeol, can I ask you a favour?"
School ended. As Byeol was tossing everything into her bag, Hoshi approached her.
"Uhm. Why?"
"Do you know how I can meet the school's taekwondo instructor?" Hoshi asked while scrutinising a piece of paper in his hand.
"Oh, I want to meet him too by the way." The coach actually wanted to meet her regarding last Friday issue.
"Really? Great!" Hoshi was relieved.
"Let's go!" Byeol didn't really sure his business with the coach but she was expecting something nice.
***
Jungkook called Byeol for several time again. He already arrived home. He even look out the window to see either Byeol is in her room but nothing there.
Byeol didn't pick up her phone either.
He at last gave up. Maybe she left her phone in her bag while taekwondo class. He thought and tried to not care.
Little that Jungkook knew, the taekwondo class today was cancelled and Byeol was hanging out with Hoshi.
***
That night.
"Byeol-ah!!!!" Jungkook barged into Byeol's room. He was full with excitement.
"Yah...chill." Byeol hissed as Jungkook was interrupting her doing the homework.
Jungkook walked towards Byeol who sat at her study table. "I miss you."
"I know... You never not miss me. Why? No one to annoy?" Byeol said while her hand was busy writing.
"No... I just miss you. Don't you miss me?" Jungkook pulled the dressing table stool and sat beside Byeol.
"Well...no one to bully." Byeol shrugged and her whole body still focus on her homework.
"Byeol-ah, let's cuddle." Jungkook tried to gain her attention. He put his head on her shoulder.
"Not today." Byeol ignored him. "I need to finish this homework by tomorrow."
"Really? But... aren't you used to finish that at school? You didn't go to library today? Then why you back home late?" Jungkook didn't really curious to know actually. He just wanted a minute to cuddle with Byeol.
Byeol was speechless. Should she tell Jungkook that she was spending all evening with Hoshi? Did she even need to tell him about Hoshi? She bit her lower lips.
"I have....taekwondo class all evening. Yes. Taekwondo class." She managed to lie. Jungkook didn't need to know about Hoshi and her.
"Really? I see." Jungkook sighed.
Byeol was relieved a bit. Jungkook didn't know the truth.
"Here. I bought this for you." Jungkook passed her a box. "Your favourite cookies."
"Wow, thank you!" Byeol seemed excited but she felt a little guilt.
"I'll get going. See you tomorrow." Jungkook weakly leaving her room.
Byeol realised that Jungkook was not happy. She used to make him not happy after all but for the first time she was showered with tons of guilt just because she refused to cuddle with Jungkook and lied a little.
Why must I feel guilty?
I lie to him and what's wrong?
It's not even a big deal.
Oh...whatever!
I don't care!
