Jaeshin's POV

It's Saturday tomorrow and there would be no practice, I headed to the library, not to stalk, but to study. Bora went with me as always.

I placed my things on the table and started writing down. I was so focused on what I'm doing that I didn't realize Bora wasn't beside me anymore.

I looked up and saw her behind Jaehyun, looking at books. She turned around and we met eyes. She pointed at Jaehyun repeatedly. I rolled my eyes at her attitude and just went back on writing.

I finally finished what I am doing and I felt a tug on my skirt. I had a hunch on who it is and I was right. Nox. "Jaeshin noonah," I raised a brow. "What is it now?"

Nox smiled. "I like you." I smiled and ruffled his hair. "Why is that?"

"I just like you. I don't like Yejin noonah," I laughed and he folded his arms. "What are you doing here?" I asked. "I just want to talk, Jaehyun hyung-" He stopped halfway. I didn't dare look at his hyung. I might blow up.

He suddenly shook his head. "Nothing. I'll go now. Bye-bye." I waved my hand at Nox and he left the library. The kid looks like he knows his priorities so I started placing my things in my bag.

"Going home already?" Bora asked. I also didn't realise that she was now beside me. "Are you teleporting?" I asked and she laughed. "Nah." I wore my bag. "See you on Sunday." We waved goodbye to esch other and I left the school premises.

Monday came and I woke up early for the parade. I already saw Mom preparing my uniform and I went to the bathroom to take a bath. I wrapped myself around a towel and changed into my band uniform.

When I exited my room, Mom was placing my tumbler inside my bag and zipping it shut. She gave my bag to me and said, "Be careful, okay? I'll watch you from outside." I smiled and nodded.

I kissed her cheek and bid goodbye to both my parents. I walked to school and I saw my band mates head to the gym. I went there and was surprised to see Bora. She must be in the bleachers. "Why are you here?" I asked.

"Oh, came by to visit you all. I already greeted Yejin and the others. Good morning." She smiled and linked our arms. I pulled back my arm. "Let me get my lyre. The parade will start."

Bora pouted and let go. "Okay." I walked towards the instruments' room and took my lyre. When I got out, I saw Yejin and Yan-ne approaching me. "Jaeshin! Have you seen Maeyoung?" Yan-ne asked.

I shook my head. "Bora's here." I randomly said. The two paused. "Really?" Yejin asked which also took me aback. "Wait, I thought she greeted you two."

Yan-ne shook her head, hugging her lyre. "We didn't see her. I thought she was already outside." My eyebrows creased. That's weird.

We all turned our heads to the stage when Mrs. Na called us. We all exited the gym and lined up on the school ground. Whem we were all ready, the parade finally started, our schoolmates tailing behind.

We played our pieces and sometimes, we stop playing. Yejin rarely stops banging her stick on her lyre while Yan-ne and Kira rarely plays.

We finally headed back to school and performed what we practiced in the gym. After that, the crowd erupted into an applause. We immediately went to the instruments' room to return our lyres and drums. After that, we change to our school uniform.

Thankfully, Bora reserved us some seats near our section. I sat beside her and I have an urge to ask her why she lied to me.

Again, I was a coward.

I didn't ask and we just participated in the games that were held. We cheered our boy classmates who played basketball and fortunately, our section won.

Later on, the long shooting range started. It's a tradition in our school to shoot the ball with you on the other side of the ring. According to Younghee, my cousin, Changkyun, is holding the title.

The boys went on and on until it was Class IV's turn. We all stared but still, no one shot the ball. It was Jaehyun's turn and the girls teased me. Their squeals was so loud that some heads turned to us.

Especially Jaehyun's.

He smiled again and threw the ball. It ran around the ring but fell on the other side. "That was so close!" Maeyoung shouted. Jaehyun was the last one so no one held the record for this school year.

It was finally lunch time and we all headed to the canteen. Bora told me she'll go to the comfort room for a minute, which was weird because she often drags me with her.

We lined up in the counter and I was roaming my eyes around the canteen when I saw Jaehyun being dragged away. I didn't see who dragged him, though.

Probably Nox.
