"Uh... hi."
"Get out of the way."
The first thing I saw when I left the room was Jeon Jungkook's desk. Why him? I wasn't in the mood to deal with anyone right now. Especially not with that group.
"Rice."
"I just came out from eating."
"Ah... what did you eat..."
"Hansoo... What, why are you here, Jeongguk?"
"brother...?"
Jeon Jungkook looked back and forth between me and Min Yoongi. He must have been curious as to why Min Yoongi was coming out of my room.
"Get out of the way. I'm going."
Suzy passed Jeon Jungkook and walked away. Min Yoongi didn't follow Yeoju. He felt that following her any further would only make her even angrier.
Jeon Jungkook had a lot of questions, but he didn't ask and just followed Suzy. Min Yoongi's expression didn't look good either.

"Why are you following me?"
"No, I just... have nothing to do."
"Playing with this woman;"
"I don't want to play with him."
I wonder why she's acting like this again. Wasn't she your princess, who you gritted your teeth and protected from me?
"Okay, get out."
"...Sorry."
"...?"
What the; why is he apologizing so suddenly? It's not like I ever deserved an apology, obviously.
"I guess I was just thinking about myself..."
It's strange. You've always thought of yourself... but why are you apologizing now for not thinking of me? Why you?
"You always thought about yourself."
"...I just..."
"....."
"I don't know either."
This is really annoying. Was he always like this? The deadpan look I see now doesn't suit Jeon Jungkook at all. Wasn't he a proud guy?
"My head is acting strange these days... My emotions are..."
"It's like I'm possessed. Without any will of my own..."
"...!"
For a moment, I flinched. I wondered if Jeon Jungkook's body could move on its own like mine.
"But I'm going to do what I want to do."
"....."
"Right now, my head is going crazy telling me to do this, to do that... but what I really want to do is..."
What are you talking about that makes me hesitate? I wonder if it's just my imagination that makes me feel uneasy.
"...I want to be with you."
"Does he even know this isn't right?" Jeon Jungkook said, watching Suzy's expression. However, Suzy's expression instantly hardened at Jeon Jungkook's words.
"it's crazy?"
Yeah, you're crazy. You're crazy. How could you say something like that if you weren't crazy? And to Han Soo-ji, at that?
Even if something's wrong, it seems like it's properly wrong. How could Jeon Jungkook...
"I want you..."
"hey..."
"....."
"Take it easy. You're only thinking about yourself right now."
I could taste the pungent taste of blood on my clenched lips. I began to hate myself for being so selfish. I wanted to hold on to Suji, who seemed ready to vanish forever at any moment.
How did I end up like this? Why did I...
"...sorry."
Jeon Jungkook didn't follow the woman who quickly left. Even I felt like an idiot for doing this now, and from Suzy's perspective, it was obvious how dumbfounded I must be.
"Where did things get so twisted.."

To clear my head, I set out to find a quiet place. But with nowhere to go, I decided to just go out into the garden. Fortunately, there was no one outside. I sat quietly on a bench and lost myself in thought.
I knew Jeon Jungkook hadn't been with Yeoju lately. I figured there had to be some reason, so I didn't pay much attention. What did it have to do with me?
But it turns out it wasn't something I had anything to do with. Suddenly, Jeon Jungkook's gaze was on me, not Yeoju, and I couldn't help but feel dizzy... My goal was to avoid getting involved with those eight people and to survive that man.
But I feel like I'm going to run into trouble achieving this goal. I thought I'd crossed the starting line a long time ago, but it seems I've only just barely made it. How should I proceed?
"Mr. Jeong, did you hear that rumor?"
"What?"
I thought I was alone in the garden, but I guess I wasn't. I could hear the teachers' voices.
"Seokjin broke off his engagement with Suji. So there was a rumor that Namjoon was getting engaged to his younger sister again."
"Namjoon had a younger sister...?"
"You didn't know? Well, I heard he's been hiding that kid a lot."
I found myself hiding my presence without realizing it. Kim Seokjin... getting engaged again? And to Kim Namjoon's younger sister...? Something about him made me feel a bit strong.
By the way... why am I so annoyed...?
I felt strange because she was my ex-fiancée.
"Honestly, if we look at the family, Suji's..."
"You know Suzy's personality. Even adults can't handle it, so who would want to marry Suzy?"
"....."
What the hell are you talking about behind a student's back?
"But at least the family is the best."
“Namjoon’s is fine too, I guess. I heard she’s the police chief’s daughter.”
I didn't know this. Kim Namjoon's father is the chief of police. Why do teachers seem more interested in this kind of thing...?
"How is Seokjin doing these days?"
"Ah... It's the same. The kid who was studying suddenly stops studying..."
"Is it because of Suzy?"
"Well, rumor has it that the students can't forget Suji..."
Ha... It seems like Kim Seok-jin still has feelings for Suzy, but he's really weird. Didn't Kim Seok-jin like Yeo-ju? He was the one who got mad at me last time and told me to stop bothering Yeo-ju.
What on earth is Kim Seok-jin thinking?
"It's almost time. Let's go."
"is it so."
"Jeon Jungkook too... I really don't like him."
As I've always said, there's nothing I can do. I can't even control my emotions. These aren't my emotions.
