“Hello, Yeoju!”
Baek So-yeon greets brightly.
“Oh, no...”
“Hello to you too, Taehyung!”
Baek So-yeon ignored me and immediately greeted Kim Tae-hyung. She was slightly flustered, but she pretended not to notice and walked to her seat.
"high."
And I said hello to Min Yoongi, who was on his phone. Min Yoongi raised his head and stared at me.
“Why is there something on my face?”
“....”
It was Min Yoongi, who wasn't answering my question. Feeling a bit dizzy, I tried to look ahead, but Min Yoongi spoke to me.
“Did you cry?”
My pupils shook rapidly. Should I say I was flustered?
“Wh..what are you saying?”
I just roughly brushed it off.
“No, not that.”
I let out a sigh of relief as Min Yoongi started playing with his phone again.
"What? Did you cry, Yeoju? Your voice is hoarse..."
It was Baek So-yeon, looking at me with concerned eyes. I wonder if she really has any sense...
“I didn’t cry.”
He spoke stiffly.
“Then where does it hurt?”
“...”
I stared intently at Baek So-yeon's question. It really felt like if she didn't answer, I'd keep peppering her with questions.
“It doesn’t hurt.”
“What? You said you were sick.”
It seems that Kim Taehyung is also clueless.
“Are you sick, Yeoju? Where does it hurt??”
I really hated how worried Baek So-yeon seemed. I knew I shouldn't be like this, but I couldn't help it. Deep down, I already hated Baek So-yeon.
“It doesn’t hurt.”
He spoke more firmly than before.
“You just now..!”
When Kim Taehyung tried to speak again, I glared at him. Then, Kim Taehyung remained silent.
“...Yeonju, if you’re really sick, you have to tell me!”
"huh."
I feel so pathetic for doing this to Baek So-yeon, who was truly innocent. Because I was so small and pitiful, instead of being angry at myself, I looked for someone I could vent my anger on.
After that, I couldn't hear the four of us talking together. All I could hear was Kim Taehyung and Baek Soyeon chattering away.

The three people who thought I was sleeping while lying face down during the break in class went to the classroom without me.
“Hey lady~!”
I raised my head to Jiyoon, who was calling me while waving her hand while I was lying face down.
“...”
The moment I saw Jiyoon, tears welled up in my eyes. Perhaps it was because there was no one else in the class that I shed even more tears.
“Why are you crying..?”
In response to Jiyoon's question, I opened up about everything that had happened since I came to school, as if I had been waiting for it.
It was only after I finished telling my story that I realized Jiyoon was crying too.
“Why are you crying..”
It was a little absurd, but it was funny. And I was grateful.
“No.. I was listening to you while thinking about what it would be like if I did that with Jungkook... I was so sad..”
Jiyoon wiped her tears with her sleeve.
“Let’s go wash our faces. Our eyes are swollen.”
Jiyoon said that she absolutely could not tolerate people sniffling and squinting, and I snickered.
“Huh? Don’t laugh?”
“You sound like a blind person.”
“You too! Let’s go quickly.”
When Jiyoon suddenly got up from her seat, I got up too.

After washing up, I was walking to the cafeteria at an awkward time to eat lunch.
“Hello, heroine~”
When I turned around at the sound of someone calling my name, Seokjin-sunbae was standing there, smiling brightly.
“Oh, hello, senior.”
Jiyoon bowed her head and greeted him.
“Who’s next to you?”
“Ah.. he’s my friend.”
"okay?"
Senior Seokjin looked at me and Jiyoon in turns.
“Did you guys cry? Who made you cry?”
“I didn’t cry?”
Jiyoon and I answered at the same time.
“They’re funny kids… Anyway, I had no choice but to go first yesterday because of my cousin..”
It was senior Seokjin who looked at me as if he was apologizing.
“Cousin? Who is he?”
Jiyoon asked.
“Yeah. Those twins… How much money did I pay them!”
It seemed like just thinking about it made him angry.
“Oh, who is it~!”
Lee Ji-yoon This guy why like this It's nothing Not talking I wonder for a moment Thinking I tried it Affinity Good That is It came to mind.
“Even if I tell you your name, you won’t know?”
“Then show me the picture!”
I said it because I was curious.
Senior Seokjin had no choice but to turn on his phone and show the twins a picture.
“The man is Jeon Jungkook. The woman is Jeon Somi.”
“Wow.. how did this fate come about..”
My mind was spinning. How could such a connection exist?
“Senior, please send me this picture.”
Jiyoon said seriously.
“No, how..”
It was senior Seokjin who was flustered.
“Exchange numbers and send me this photo. I need to keep it!”
The two had no choice but to exchange phone numbers because of Jiyoon's words.
“Hey, can you give me your number too?”
It was Seokjin, the senior, who thrust his phone at me. I accepted it and began dialing my number.
“But why did you ask me to send it to you?”
“Because Jungkook is my future boyfriend!”
“Stalker..?”
“What are you saying… He’s my crush, he’s my crush!”
While I was dialing the number, the two were chatting and joking with each other, without even knowing each other's names.
I guess people who are friendly with each other don't need to know each other's names.
***
Taehyung and the three others who had finished their lunch were on their way to the cafeteria. This time too, Taehyung and Soyun were going together.
Jimin and Yoongi followed the two while talking about games.
While Taehyung was talking to Soyeon, he looked ahead and saw Seokjin, Yeoju, and Jiyoon smiling brightly and talking. Of course, Taehyung could only see Seokjin and Yeoju.
“...”
When Taehyung didn't move forward and remained still, Yoongi, who had bumped into Taehyung's back, looked ahead, annoyed. Yoongi, too, must have only seen Yeoju and Seokjin conversing.
Jimin was on his phone, assessing the mood from the side. Soyeon turned her head to look at Taehyung and Yoongi, and then finally at Jimin. Unlike Taehyung and Yoongi, who were looking at Yeoju, Soyeon looked relieved to see Jimin looking at his phone.
“Hey, can you give me your number too?”
Taehyung and Yoongi frown as they see Seokjin thrust his phone at Yeoju and she nonchalantly dials his number.
Perhaps Taehyung wanted to walk up to Yeoju and ask her what she was doing, but he couldn't approach her easily because he remembered what Yeoju and Min Yoongi had said.
“What are you doing here?”
