"Okay truth, geez lower your voice, we are done for if we are caught," Chae spoke through her gritted teeth as Dasom and Yera laughed silently. They played Truth and Dare in history class and didn't sit in their assigned seats. Nobody followed it actually, they sat wherever they want and went back to their assigned seats in case it was a class of their class teacher. "Okay, who do you think is best among the boys in this section?" Dasom asked.

Chaeyoung fell in thought and her mind came up with only that name- Jeongguk. He was fun to be with, a bit shy but always opens up in front of her, and they were best friends, almost. "Don't say Dae Jung again please, like what do you see in that boy?" Yera groaned. "Umm...... Jeong Guk." Chaeyoung answered as Dasom and Yera rounded their eyes in surprise. "Don't tell me it is after that incident." Dasom giggled.

Chae was standing for the other girls to come and she was somewhat near the school ground's football goalpost. She saw the boys messing around with the football. Soon something hit her real hard on the back and she groaned in pain. Looking back she saw the football timidly bouncing down which was just hit to her with great momentum.

Now, momentum is mass multiplied by velocity and force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration. Now, Gguk's force was great too, which resulted in a greater momentum as the ball hit Chae, which resulted in her glaring at the boys with a deadly stare. "Who the f*ck threw this?" She faked a smile as all the boys pointed towards Jeongguk who just looked at them with betrayal evident on his face. "I swear it was an accident, Chaeyoung ah", Gguk shouted, while she mouthed 'oh, just wait. 'I am dead' Jeongguk thought as he passed the ball to Dae Jung for another round of the friendly game.

They had one more class after P.E before the final bell and Jeongguk has planned it all, as the final bell rang he would take his bag and sprint away as fast as he can. He packed all his belongings in the bag took them behind him and as the bell rang, he put it on his shoulder and had just stood up from his seat when Chae's voice greeted him," Where are you going, hun?" "My dorm, a beautiful place you know, seven of us, me and my hyungs, living together." He chuckled nervously.

Obviously, Chaeyoung wouldn't give him a black eye, she wasn't a bully but he was still scared, mostly because she was strong. "Sit!" Chae commanded and Gguk obliged saying, "Girl, I swear on my hyungs- whoa, hello Miss Park." Chae held his collar with one hand as she twisted it, but not too hard, and said, "Do not repeat that incident." "Yes ma'am" Gguk croaked before she released him and went off, this was just a friendly fight, not world war three.

"Wait not Gguk, no way," Aera squealed as the teacher went out and Chae was unaware of the fuss- he was the best boy who was her friend, her only hopes were this not turning into a stupid rumour, which would break her and Jeongguk's friendship. Little did she know, someone heard it, someone who was excited that he and Chae would no longer be shipped, someone who told Gguk everything but in a different way, changing the story.

"Hey, Gguk." Dae Jung yelled as he stopped to listen to whatever Dae Jung was about to say. "Hey, Chae's husband- did she sign divorce papers?" I chuckled. "No actually, she is having extra-marital affairs, with you. She has a crush on you." He answered. "Okay, stop joking," I spoke up where he nodded his head affirming that he wasn't joking.

"I overheard the girls yesterday, man. What are you going to do now?" Dae Jung asked. "I don't know, maybe I will reject her." He waved 'goodbye' to me as he went away and I saw Yoongi hyung waiting for me at a distance. I ran over my thoughts which were filled with Chaeyoung- why would she like me? Yoongi hyung came forward and asked, "Let's go, we have practice, and who was that chubby boy? He is more chubby than Jimin, my god." I chuckled at my hyung as we walked towards our home- the dorm.

10th

I walked inside the familiar classroom as I saw all my friends were there already. I sat down behind Chaeyoung and Yugyeom in my usual seat, alone, since Chan Mi was absent. The day was usual, teachers dumping us with homework and maybe in the fourth or fifth period, Dae Jung came and sat beside me. "So Jeongguk, remember the girl whose name starts C and ends with G and has a crush on you?" I squinted my eyes towards Chae whose shoulders stiffened but she didn't turn towards us. "I mean you would always reject her- "Dae Jung continued.

Chaeyoung turned around and asked him, "What did you tell him Dae? You don't even know the question so shut up." Her voice was cold as ice and eyes shot daggers at Dae Jung and I suddenly said, "What will he say, you shut up and get lost." I don't know why I said it, maybe in the heat of the moment but I may have not noticed the hurt evident in her face.

↳ CHAEYOUNG ༉‧₊˚✧

"You really like him? What did you possibly see in him, Chae?" Dasom laughed as I smacked my head, they never even ask about my crush, and he was my best friend for a boy. "Imagine their future children- "Hwang Do added and to my surprise Jeongguk joined the mocking laughter too and that was the last straw for me. I turned towards them and said, "Listen, I am not those type of students who complain to a teacher like a five-year-old. But if I listen to any of this sh*t tomorrow y'all are done for."

The bell for the end of school rang as I picked up my bag and hurriedly went outside since we had practice today at YG. I met up with Lisa outside, not even glancing once towards my classmates. The crack between my friendship with Jeongguk has started and no one could prevent it.

Trust me, that day I learned boys and girls come and go, but friends remain forever. And yes I hated it to be pretty honest. I really wish I would become friends with him again, just that. Vote and comment.
