"Good morning," I muttered when I walked downstairs to get going to school. Honestly I was nervous to go, because of everything that had happened last week. It felt like the safe place I had was now completely distorted, and I wanted to fix it no matter what. I wanted our friendgroup to be close again.

"Take care, dear," My mom waved when I stepped out of the door and I waved back, tiredly, since I had barely closed an eye last night. I kept thinking about Seungmin and Jaehyun too much. Luckily though, not everything was as bad as it seemed. After all, I had decided to tell Seungmin about the facts Joochan gave me his phone number. I felt like after everything he had told me, he deserved to know that about me, too.

Seungmin had responded ethusiatically and hoped he had good intensions; but who knew? He was a bad boy after all.

"Good morning!" I was greeted by Jibeom and, unfortunately, Jaehyun, who were making their way to school too. "Good morning," I managed to say and forced a smile, at which Jibeom frowned slightly. "You seem pale, is everything fine?" He asked and I just nodded, when I felt my phone buzzing.

Hong Joochan:
You're at school today?

I smiled broadly, maybe too broadly, because both my friends gave me suspicious looks as I hid away my phone. "Just my brother," I lied, as I kept noticing Jaehyuns uncomfortable facial expression. Was something wrong with him? I kept wondering as we kept an awkward silence until we arrived at school, and we made way to our classrooms.

I sat down at my usual spot, in the front row at the right. I liked sitting next to the window, and in the front since the loud students sat in the back. I guess I could be concered a nerd, but I didn't really mind. I liked studying, because it put my mind off things. And I needed that a lot.

I wanted to rest my head on my books, when suddenly someone went to sit next to me at the usual empty spot. I gave the person a glance and noticed that I had never seen him before. He seemed like a foreigner too, just like me. He waved at me softly and sat down with confindence. I I noticed he was an extraverted person for sure. "My name's Mark," he introduced himself and I nodded at him a little awkwardly. "You're Rosaline, right?" he asked as I nodded, "How did you know?" I wondered as he chuckled. "I'm a close friend of Jaehyun's," He explained, "He's talked tons about you, so I'm delighted." 

I smiled and nodded, but noticed a hidden uncomfortable look inside of his eyes. I could not exactly place what it was, though.

"Jaehyun's not in this class?" He wondered as I shook my head, "No, he's with me next period though," I explained as he nodded and went to go to work when the teacher told us to. Before doing that myself, however, I decided to respond to Joochan.

You:
Yes

Hong Joochan:
Good

I did not know what he meant, but I swore my heart skipped a beat nevertheless. Hong Joochan was really doing strange things to me.

Without thinking too much I silently worked and waited for the class to be over. Therefore, when the bell rang, I was happy and relieved and made my way to English class. It would be nice to maybe interact with my full group of friends normally again.

I walked through the hallway, through the crowds of people when someone bumped into me and I dropped all of my books on the ground. The person who did it didn't even apologize. I pouted and awkwardly went to kneel down to grather my books, when a soft, warm hand suddenly touched mine. "Need help?," a voice asked when I blushed and noticed that in front of me, in his baseball outfit, was sitting Joochan. "I--" I tried to say when he chuckled and gathered the books for me before I could. "Here," He pressed the books in my hands, "Be careful next time," He said and stood up, and I swear he even winked at me before leaving.

When I stood up I noticed the empty corridors and almost ran towards the classroom, where I was just on time and went to sit next to Jibeom. Seungmin sat in front of us, next to Y, even though he wasn't even in our class. In front them sat Mark, who decided to sit with us.

Then, seconds before the bell rang, Jaehyun rushed his way into the classroom, when his eyes widened and an awful expression became visible on his face. "Ah Jaehyun!" Mark waved as Jaehyun became pale and wanted to scream. "Long time no see."

And with that Jaehyun ran outside of the classroom.
