My heavy footsteps were echoing through the long narrow corridor and my lonely shadow helplessly extended from my shoes.

A long piercing noise rang in my ears. It's our school bell indicating that our break time had started.

I could see students rushing out of their classrooms with purses in their hands. Normally I would be one of them but now, my heart only sank deeper and deeper.

What am I supposed to do? To prove that I'm innocent?

No- How did this even happen? I didn't cheat but the answers were saying otherwise.

I stomped my feet, a few students turned to me shaking their heads. A strand of hair dropped onto my face and I blew it off.

-

This was probably the most isolated recess I had ever had. Lyla had gone to hang out with some of her other girl friends. Jungkook did not come to school today. Jimin was nowhere to be seen.

I spent a whole 10 minutes just daydreaming, guessing where he could've been.

It's unusual that he didn't try to sneak into my classroom and send me a few glances and nods towards the rooftop, hinting to follow him.

It always gave me anxieties.

Isn't it too obvious?

But it was exciting. As long as he's there, I'd do everything.

Compared to my current situation, it's just a massive difference. Plus, he's a member of staff so he had probably heard of this before me.

My impatience had reached its limit. I left the classroom because I thought at least I should try, perhaps he's just wandering around.

Right after I turned a corner, I hesitated to go forward.

I looked over my shoulder and heard a conversation.

"Look, look, look."

"Is it her?"

I gulped, an impossible yet again possible thought ran through my head; people knew already.

Slowly, more voices built up, they're being played constantly in my ears like people were gathering around me.

"Damn, this is crazy."

"Yeah I know right?" A girl scoffed and from the corner of my eyes, I saw her crossed her arms. "Isn't she the 'popular girl' in school? Guess not anymore."

"Yah, she's still popular okay?"

A little hope lit up in my heart knowing that there're still schoolmates who would support me.

She continued, "she's just popular for being a cheater!"

The crowd laughed.

"Hey, it's true though, she's a cheater for romance and also a cheater for a test," a girl laughed out loud.

My hands clenched into fists. I turned around and glared at them with my dark big eyes.

One of the things that I hate to my gut is people who speaks nonsense, telling lies that they don't even know, is a lie.

Words were caught up in my throat when I spotted a tall slim figure walking pass the crowd. His blonde hair was messier, a few strands of them dropped onto his forehead.

I couldn't control myself. I wanted to run to him and plead for a reassuring hug. No- he would give it to me because he would be able to feel my stress and the presence of a long story behind my back, hoping to be spoken as soon as possible.

I ran.

I grabbed his hands and firmly held onto them. I didn't care about how many new stares we were receiving because of my reckless act.

"Jimin," I whispered. The moment his dear name came out of my trembling mouth, my vision was blurred with tears. "Can we leave this place? Can- can you bring me somewhere else?"

He would know what I meant.

But he didn't seem like so. His eyes no longer shone when they met mine. His look was plain, flat, blank.

"I- I was accused of cheating in a test this morning. No one trusted me. I know you would," I tried to explain more.

He sighed, his breath tickled my skin. He turned to me.

I wanted to smile, but it disappeared when he swung my hand away. A small gasp escaped from my mouth. I looked at him confusedly.

"It would be better for you to go find Mrs. Lee and ask for a lighter punishment, instead of telling me to bring you away. Running away from a problem isn't a solution," he said, with no emotions in his voice.

"What? Me? Running away from a- problem?" In contrast, buckets of emotions were poured into my voice; confusion, fury, panic, alarm, scepticism, irritation, frustration.

He raised his brows and exhaled, "I'm disappointed to be honest."

Then he left.

A girl snickered, leading the whole crowd of people to laugh along.

I closed my eyes, trying to shut out all the judgemental voices but his.

He had never spoken to me like this. He had always believed in me.

He's disappointed.

Jimin's disappointed in me.

He didn't even bother asking if I really did it or if it's merely a rumour, a false statement.

A dry laugh left my lips.

-

"Why you always in a mood..." It was lunch time and I was singing with strong stupid hand gestures. If you walked pass me, you'd probably think that I was arguing with someone on the phone.

Well, I was just immersed in my own music, not arguing with anyone, probably not being angry with anyone too... I think.

I shook the thought out of my head. But the same image played in my mind. I still couldn't get rid of it. I remembered so clearly how Jimin looked at me. The way his eyes showed nothing but disappointment. When I was around him, I could feel the strong connection between us. We cared for each other. He adored me so much that he would fight for me. We wanted each other to be part of our own separate lives. But now I doubted it, I doubted the longevity of our relationship.

The classroom wasn't helping at all, not the music too. I pulled out my earphones and dragged my feet out of the deserted classroom.

Not knowing where I should go, I arrived at the entrance of the school rooftop. "Hm." I jerked my head back in surprise. Indeed I needed some alone time and this was the best place for refreshment and reflection.

I pushed the heavy steel fire door open. I stumbled back as the wind hit me. I didn't notice it was this windy today.

I shut the door behind me and released a large pent-up breath. The sky was gray with clouds. The sun was gone, like everybody else, Lyla, Taehyung, Mum and-

"Jimin?" His name slipped out of my mouth.

He was standing and looking out into distance. He turned to me and instantly, I could almost be entirely sure that, he really, really didn't want to see me. His hazel eyes turned back to two hollow black holes. His body tensed up.

I held my breath as I approached him.

"Why?" I asked. I had never been so clear of what I wanted to say.

He paused for a moment, he turned his stiffened body away. "What? I'm just disappointed in you, cheating."

I chuckled, "I don't believe you. I'm sure you would never choose to trust others than me, without even hearing for an explanation."

"How am I supposed to trust you anymore. You cheated." The last two words came out like a sharp knife stabbing into my already-shattered-heart, they're so hard to bare, especially from him.

Blood was boiling in me. Rage was arising.

"Let's just get to the point, which cheating do you mean huh? You sounded like you are not only blaming me for the test but also for my behaviours to Jungkook? You have been so supportive about it, I don't- I don't understand." The sentence ended with a scoff. I ruffled my hair and put one hand on my hip. I took a glance at the surrounding before I turned back to him and continued letting everything out. "Is this what you have been wanting to tell me? Ah- You must have been holding everything in then. Good choice for only telling me now Jimin. All those moments and those feelings that you've been showing were-"

...so true. Too good to be unreal.

"-fake," I said and dropped my head. "Right?" I whispered in a sob. I needed him to admit it in front of me before I gave up on him.

Because I didn't want to.

I could hear his deep relaxed breaths which only irritated me even more, and were only proving my words right.

"Great. Guess we're nothing afterall," I sighed and left with big heavy footsteps.

Seohyun's clearly the kind of person who wouldn't know how to stay calm when stuff happened๐Ÿ˜”

By the way, just wanna share w you guys, I'm going to a hospital tomorrow. It's to do a ECG test basically to check my heart rate heart rhythm and so on. The reason for that was because I had had chest pain since I was a kid and apparently I never thought it'd be something major. I was scared to tell my parents but a few days ago I've finally took up my courage and told my school nurse about it. Hence she'd booked me an appointment tomorrow. I'm honestly scared cause I had never thought that I'd have to experience such things in my whole lifetime. I'm also suspecting that I might have low blood pressure but it'll be tested after my Easter holidays. Honestly wish that I'm okay and if I'm not, my parents will understand.
