Chapter 08: Rumors

Taehyun's POV

I was silently judging them, but decided it would be better if I didn't mind them. I quickly glanced at Chaeryeong's place, just to see her answering her work book while also looking on her notes for preferences, for the solutions for the stupid questions.

'She's also doing it. So, I'm not the only one who's using that method huh?' I thought and smiled.

We have a lot of things in common, and for that we can be friends but sometimes I get the feeling that she is slowly pushing me away. And that made me feel a bit hurt, because when she's with her friends she's the complete opposite of how she acts with me, and the others.

I sighed and laid my back on the back of my seat before stretching my arms backwards.

'I wish I can be friends with her...' I thought, but shook it off, because I know it's basically impossible to be friends with her. Well, that's for me.

I looked at her and smiled, knowing she won't talk to me even if I tried so hard with, there's nothing wrong with trying, right?

I quickly sat up right, and looked at her and took a deep breath, before talking to her.

"Hi, Chaeryeong!" I greeted her, while smiling and waving my hand.

But as usual she just ignored me. I mentally sighed, as the thought of her making me mentally ill, is slowly showing up once more. But, that's not the worst part of it; some of the people here in the room were talking bad of her.

"Sigh, why would Taehyun talk to her? Doesn't he know she's one of the coldest people in the campus?"

"I don't know what Taehyun oppa saw in her, that made him act like that."

"Wow. He doesn't act like that to us, but her?"

"I'd rather transfer schools without Taehyun oppa, than seeing him getting hurt by that girl who has no feelings."

I shrugged them all of, because they are literally judging a book from its cover! This is totally rude. Haven't they heard the saying 'Don't judge a book by its cover'? Cause if they haven't they should all go back to kindergarten, because I'm pretty sure everybody in that level knows about that saying.

"Can I eat with you? Later at lunch time?" I asked her, hoping she would say 'Yes' or at least nod her head, but instead I got a glare from her. I frowned at the sight of it.

After that, I hear people whispering once more. With a book closing I looked at Chaeryeong and saw that she was fixing her things, while she still has that calm and collected face on.

I then decided not to disturb her any further and decided to pack my things as well, while packing my things I heard somebody call me, so instantly I looked at the place where I heard it most likely come from and when I saw it, it was just my dumb friends once again.

I sighed and went over to them after I was done packing my things while looking at Chaeryeong's place to see her reading a notebook of hers, while Ryujin sat on my chair and talked to her.

I smiled at the sight that she was talking with somebody, rather spending her last remaining time just studying. Sometimes I wonder does she even like making friends, because I never really saw her being friends with her sister, or her sister's group.
