Theft ×
A quiet classroom. Perhaps because it was after a commotion, or perhaps because everyone was aware of it, everyone kept their mouths shut, as if they had made a pact.
Then, the back door opened violently. Everyone's eyes turned to the back door.
"Han Su-ji."
Suzy expected it. The person who came in like that was always Jeon Jungkook.
"....."
I didn't even feel like answering. I just sat there, looking at him blankly and telling him to say whatever he wanted.
"...Go out and talk."
"Why me."
"Why are you really like that?"
My eyebrows furrowed involuntarily. I have no idea why Jeon Jungkook is saying what I want to say. What's the problem that makes him look so frustrated?
"Don't bother me."
"....."
Jeon Jungkook was concerned about Suzy, who sat there, seemingly oblivious to her messy desk. Why on earth would someone hate anything dirty?
"Get up. It's dirty."
"The chair isn't dirty."
"You, who despises anything dirty, are just going to stay still?"
Suzy had no choice but to get up. She felt like she would ruin her original Suzy if she continued like this.
"I guess you have a knack for annoying people."
"Who am I doing this for?"
Jeon Jungkook's expression suddenly turned grim. The bell would ring soon, but I wasn't going to stand there like a clown when I wasn't even paying attention, so I decided to leave the classroom.
I didn't like the fact that everyone's eyes were on me, as if they were just watching. Jeon Jungkook followed me, but I headed to the rooftop without saying a word.
"....."
"....."
I like sitting on a bench and looking up at the sky. Maybe it's because the weather is always nice, but looking up at the sky is so enjoyable.
"I took care of the kid who bullied you."
"why."
"That way, at least for a while, it'll be quiet."
Of course. Even Jeon Jungkook has moved, so who would be a good person to hang out at this school? I really don't like how everyone has no personality.
"Why did you follow me?"
"Just say it."
"what."
"You keep acting weird."
It's driving me crazy. Why do they keep demanding that Han Soo-ji do whatever they want? Why do they think it's normal?
It's like you're dealing with a doll, not a person.
"Do you know what's really funny?"
"what do you mean."
"I took care of it myself. Business issues? You're not touching them. But what's the problem? You keep making me angry."
"....."
"Hey. Go suck this girl. It's a given for you."
Jeon Jungkook's expression was strange. It was impossible to guess what he was thinking. It almost seemed like he was confused.
"I am..."
"....."
"I'll go."
This is ridiculous. Phew... What kind of conversation would I have with that crazy guy right now...

Jeon Jungkook quickened his pace to find someone.
"Huh? Jungkook!"
"Lee Yeo-ju."
"...what's the matter?"
Jeon Jungkook quietly looked down at Yeoju. Yeoju sensed something was off, and for some reason, she had an uneasy expression on her face.
"I said it was strange."
"huh...?"
"My head likes you. But my heart doesn't like you at all."
"What... are you talking about?"
"I don't get excited at all when I see you. But what was it that made me want to devote myself to you?"
"You like me. How can you do that?"
"I liked you, but I didn't like you."
"jungkook jeon!!"
"You're funny. So you knew I liked you, but you pretended not to know until now... You locked me in your cage?"
Your pupils shook. Your narrowed eyebrows seemed to be answering.
...I was right, Yeoju.
"No. No, Jungkook. I don't know my own heart. I just liked having you as friends, and I didn't want to lose you..."
"...Anyway, I think I'll only see you as a friend from now on. I'll make sure there's no misunderstanding. I'm sorry. I think I made you uncomfortable up until now."
Jeon Jungkook left his seat.
"It can't go on like this."

"Jungkook!"
"...?"
Kim Taehyung approached Jeon Jungkook and spoke to him.
"What are you talking about? I heard a rumor."
"Ah. I don't like this woman."
"Sigh. Are you upset again?"
"No. I really have no interest in him."
"What nonsense are you talking about. Of all of us, you are the best..."
"I guess I was crazy. I just wanted to be friends with him."
"...Where does it hurt?"
Jeon Jungkook pretended to be indifferent. Then he said, "Wouldn't it be good for you if you had one less competitor?"
"....."
"You'll be fine. If you truly love me, unlike me."
Jeon Jungkook left the seat.
"Should I like it or not?"
It's strange. Since Han Soo-ji changed, everyone has changed.
