for the past week, jake had been begging the two to forgive him but he had no avail as yuna and sunghoon were much more stubborn; especially yuna

soovin was in the middle of it since she understood why yuna and sunghoon were mad but jake also told her the reason why he didn't show up and she understood his reasoning.

this led to soovin being caught in the middle of the friends. jake told her to not tell yuna and sunghoon why he didn't show up which she thought was stupid but she didn't want to get herself involved so she stayed neutral between them.

but sunghoon and yuna were not mad at soovin since she had no part it in and didn't want to take sides so they understood it. soovin also showed up to her birthday so..they didn't hold a grudge against her.

yuna was at her locker again before class began when she heard footsteps. she sighed, knowing what was going to happen already

it became a daily thing for jake to go over to her whenever she was at her locker to basically ask for forgiveness but she always gave him the same answer; no

"is he not tired of hearing the same answer" yuna scoffed to herself

jake walked up to yuna's locker awkwardly. yuna looked to her right and noticed him but turned her attention back towards her locker

jake sighed as he neared her and stopped to the side of her, looking at her side profile hoping for her to give him a chance, "hey yuna.."

"hi" she spoke with a cold tone to her voice, not making any eye contact with him as she grabbed her things out of her locker

it was weird to jake hearing her voice so cold since she barely used that tone with anyone so to hear her use the tone with him was hurting the boy.

"so..uhm..i have a soccer game coming up. i know you probably don't want to come but i just wanted to invite you still" he spoke nervously knowing he had no right to even tell her this since he already knew what her reaction was going to be and what she would say

yuna smiled bitterly as she stopped what she was doing and looked at him, "sure, let me just promise you that i'm going to your soccer game, get your hopes up that i forgave you then just not show up the day of your game and i won't send a text..call.. or anything because that's what friends do huh?"

jake sighed, looking down at the floor, "i guess i deserve that"

yuna scoffed turning her attention to her locker again and grabbing her math workbook, "you think?" she closed her locker door and faced him

he looked up at her, grabbing onto her hand and holding it softly, "look! i can give an answer soon but..can we please make up for now?"

yuna stared at him and she badly wanted to forgive him since she was usually an easy-going girl but she was going to be stubborn this time. she removed her hand from his grip and shook her head, "until you give me that reason, i won't be forgiving you. bye jake"

"hey jake" soovin greeted the boy in his classroom, her holding a stack of folders in his hands

"oh hey soovin" he grinned then raised an eyebrow at the amount of folders she had in her hand, "what's with all the folders?"

"jungwon was supposed to put these in the student council room but he forgot his key at home and you're the only other member that has it. he had to go something so he gave me the folders so i can come find you" soovin explained as she put the folders down on his desk, "sorry, they were killing my arms"

jake chuckled and stood up from his seat, "do you want to come with me to put them away?"

"i would but i have a meeting with one of my teachers in like 5 minutes" soovin spoke, "but.." she bit her lip trying to think of someone else who could help him and luckily when she looked over at the door, she saw yuna enter, looking down at her phone. she wasted no time and yeleld out her name, "yuna!"

yuna shot her head up and looked at the two. she avoided eye contact with jake and looked at soovin, "huh?" jake noticed her avoiding his gaze and he bit his lip, badly wanting to just talk with her

"can you help jake take these to the student council office?"

jake widened his eyes at her question and he hit her arm lightly, "what are you doing?" he whispered and she brushed him off, not looking at him at all

"i know you guys aren't on good terms right now but there's a lot of these folders and i can't do it so..can you help him?" soovin questioned, knowing yuna was too nice to deny it

jake on the other hand thought that she was going to deny it and let him do it by himself

yuna looked at the folders then at jake. she sighed, nodding, "okay" jake was shocked at her response but he wasn't going to question it

"yay!" soovin clapped her hands, "i'll see you two later" she patted jake's shoulder before leaving the classroom afterwards to go meet with her teacher

yuna put her phone in her blazer pocket and walked over to jake. she grabbed half of the folders and before jake could even speak, she began walking to the door and left the classroom. she wanted to avoid the boy as much as possible

jake quickly scrambled up the rest of the folders in his arms before running out of the classroom and catching up with yuna, walking awkwardly beside her; it was weird to him to be so awkward with yuna

yuna's eyes were cold unlike usual and it was only when she was with jake where she was silent and not as bright as usual.

"so..how have you been?" jake tried striking up a conversation but that failed horribly

"fine"

"..how have your classes-"

"can we be in silence?" she asked him with a stern voice and the boy immediately nodded, scared of the girl beside him since he's never seen her like that before; no one's ever seen her like that

the two walked in silence to the council room. jake wanted to talk to her but at the same time he didn't want to make her mad anymore than she already was

they reached the room and yuna stood beside the door while jake took out the key from his pocket. he put the key in the slot before sliding the door open.

the two walked into the room and placed the folders on the front desk, "is that all?"

"yah-"

"i'll be going then" yuna excused herself from the boy and left the classroom immediately not wanting to see him anymore

it was killing jake that he couldn't talk to yuna. they had been best friends for so long and now this is what is making yuna break apart from him

he couldn't blame her though. she had every right to be mad because if he was in her shoes, he would be mad also

'well maybe if you just gave her the reason then..' his mind told him and jake hit his head, "shut up.." he muttered to himself

jake quickly went outside to attempt and try to talk to yuna but stopped when he saw another boy approach yuna from who knows where

'why does he have to show up at every moment now?!' jake yelled in his mind, annoyed at the boy who was his friend

"yuna!" a boy exclaimed from behind her.

yuna jumped in shock and turned around to see heeseung standing behind her. she placed her hand on her chest, calming her heart that was racing for two reasons, "that scared me. oh my god"

"sorry didn't mean too" heeseung chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck

"its okay" yuna smiled as her heart calmed down a little bit but continued to race even more now that heeseung was in front of her, "uh..were you looking for me?"

"actually i was walking back to my class when i saw you so i thought i'd come and..say hi" he reasoned with her, "uh..want me to walk you back to class?...if that's where you're going?

yuna nodded, a small grin on her face"sure"

'ill try another time i guess..' jake sighed as he went back into the student council room so he could organize a bit; this was mostly just an excuse to not walk the same way as heeseung and yuna

heeseung began walking yuna to her class and the two were in silence until he asked her a question, "..are you okay? you seem to be a little distant with jake lately"

"just..something going on" she muttered, not really in the mood to talk about it or even think about it

heeseung nodded, not bothering her any further about it and it was silent again. yuna looked at him, kinda shocked, "..you're not going to bother me about it?"

"why would i?" he responded, looking at her, "if you don't feel comfortable talking about it then i won't pester you to tell me. whenever you want to talk to me, i'll be here to listen or if you don't want too tell me then i won't bother"

yuna internally panicked and stared at him in shock

'how is one guy so perfect?' yuna thought, her mind being flooded with thoughts

heeseung noticed her expression and chuckled, patting her head, "can you stop being so cute?"

she snapped out of her trance and scoffed at the taller boy, "when you stop being so bold and saying those things to me"

"why would i stop when its true?" he continued to tease her just to see her reaction

yuna immediately placed her hair over her ears that were definitely turning red because of him

heeseung laughed and moved her hair away from her ears so her red ears would show, "don't hide it. it's cute that you're blushing because of me"

"you saying that is going to make me blush even more!" she complained, covering her ears again with her hands this time while heeseung laughed again, seeing how cute she was

the two walked back to yuna's class, heeseung dropping her off basically. the boy bid bye to her and walked away.

yuna walked into her classroom and over to her desk. she looked on top and saw an aloe vera bottle drink with a note beside it

she picked up the note and read it, "sorry" and at the end of the note was a sad face

she looked up and saw jake looking at her but the moment she made eye contact with him, he looked away, nervous of her reaction

jake didn't hear anything and in a few seconds yuna was standing beside his desk. she placed both the note and bottle on his desk. jake looked up at her and she looked at him, "this won't make me forgive you"

yuna went backed to her seat and jake sighed. he looked over at the drink and bit his lip, "if it was heeseung she would've accepted it.."

'no shit you idiot' his thoughts told him

jake's phone buzzed and the boy quickly took it out of his pocket to see the notification.

'200,000 won has been added to your balance'

"just a few more.."
