"Kang Joo-young, why are you giving me no clues and running away?"
"What? Are you done talking?"
"ㅇㅇ You're so frustrating"
"what!!!"
"Can I say that?"

"...Just tell me. I'll be out of the room for a moment."
Taehyung drags Jungkook out for a moment. Jungkook glares at Taehyung and follows him out. Then Yeoju says something to Jooyoung.
"Kim Taehyung, that guy. I like you."
Joo-young laughs and tells her not to joke around, but Yeo-ju shakes her head and continues talking.
"When you said you were coming, he was really happy. He kept saying he wanted to hug you but couldn't, and Seokjin-sunbae was really jealous."
"... You must have been really hurt by now... (Shocked)"
Jooyoung's thoughts flash through his mind.

"Hey!! Seokjin senior smiled at me and said I was pretty ㅠㅜㅜ"

"... what?"

"Of course Seokjin is a better person than you."
"... How will I look at his face from now on..?"

"It's okay, I know you don't like me anyway."
"I know we're nothing more than friends, nothing less."
Jooyoung lowers his head at Taehyung's remark.
"I know you like Seokjin anyway. Just with Seokjin."
"I... thought you... didn't like me... (sobs)"
".. Let's go out, Balal"
"okay"
As Yeo-ju and Jeong-guk left, Tae-hyung, feeling embarrassed, quickly stood up and said he would go too.
"G.. Don't go..!"
"No, I'll call Seokjin hyung."
"..."
There was a brief pause, but Jooyoung met Taehyung's eyes.
".. I liked you too, but you never showed it..."
"You're clueless, you idiot."
"okay?"
"... Right now, Seokjinhyung is better than me, right?"
"Uh.. huh? Ugh...."
"It's okay, just hold on to Seokjin."
"...."
Jooyoung is momentarily shaken by Taehyung's affectionate demeanor, which she's seeing for the first time. And she also feels sorry for the hurt she caused.

".. Since you've been like that for months and don't think much about it, you can just hold on to it."
My heart, which had grown cold, began to beat faster towards Taehyung. He looked handsome, and I even noticed his physique, which I hadn't noticed because I'd been teasing him all this time.
"...Tomorrow... tomorrow... let's talk again"
"..Then I'll wait for you after school."
"Uh.. Yeah.."
"love you"
"..... (//)"
Jooyoung lowered her head as she looked at Taehyung's spot. She probably hated herself for being attracted to those two.
22nd place is shocking and exciting.. haha
