I was scrolling through my phone while I strolling in the hallways, when I received a message from Felix which made me stop on my tracks. I opened the notification and continued walking, whilst reading what his message was.

I turned off my phone and slid them back inside my phone, as I continue to make my way to the basketball court. Turning around the corner, as if on cue, Heejin stuck her her head out into the hall and it so happens to be that I was just passing by.

I hung my head low, keeping my eyes glued to the floor as I walked on the hallway. Thankfully she went back inside the door and closed it shut, right before I could pass the door. I bit my lower lip when I suddenly remembered what I heard the other day.

*flashback*

After we were dismissed, everyone began fixing their stuff and slowly left the classroom one by one. Heejin quickly fixed her stuff and slid them inside her backpack before wearing it, she didn't even spare a glance at me when she walked past me. I sighed before proceeding to fix my stuff when I suddenly felt a tap on my shoulder. I quickly looked over my shoulder, thinking it would be her but it's just Yiren.

, I grinned at her and continued to fixing my stuff. I averted my gaze to look at her once again before wearing my backpack, , I asked her.

She nodded and she smiled from ear to ear as we proceeded to left the classroom. We made our way to the hallways before stopping right outside the music club room. Yiren placed her hand on the doorknob and twisted it before heading inside the room.

There were a few people that were practicing or just chilling the room. When they noted our presence, we all exchanged greetings as we walked past them. We proceeded to the stage where the instruments where located at. Yiren took a look at the guitars lined up on the stage before finally suggesting one to me.

, she asked while grabbing a guitar. She gently handed it to me and allowed me to examine it. I pressed my lips into a thin line as inspected the guitar she suggested.

I furrowed my eyebrows as I tried to read the brand of the guitar, , I read out loud.

, Yiren asked me. I shrugged my shoulders before giving it a quick strum, the latter grinned and nodded in agreement.

I hummed before looking at her, , I let her know.

, she told me before skipping to reach out one of the gig bags for the guitar. She handed me a black one and helped me put the chosen guitar inside as well.

, I smiled at her before I slung one of the straps on my right shoulder.

Yiren placed a hand on my shoulder and gently patted it, , she said.

, I replied and let out a chuckle.

I sent her a smile before we stepped down the stage, , I questioned her once again just to make sure.

, she playfully punched my shoulder. , she informed me.

I snapped my head to look at her in shock, , I asked her. I placed my hand on the the doorknob and twisted it, , she told me, she then burst into laughter.

As we stepped out of the room, Felix abruptly appeared out of nowhere, , I gave him a high five.

A smile immediately made way on his face before his eyes landed on the gig bag that slung on my shoulder, he asked with his deep voice and nodded his at it.

, I answered him which made Felix raised his eyebrows while his jaw dropped.

Yiren cleared out her throat making the both of us look at her, , she gently patting my back.

, I mumbled and grinned at her before she excused herself.

She waved goodbye at me and slightly bowed at Felix before turning on her heel. I didn't even noticed that I was actually staring at her as she walked away from us until Felix snapped his fingers in front of my face making me avert my gaze from the latter.

, I whispered before returning back my gaze on Yiren.

, the boy in front of me asked out of nowhere, which made me snap my gaze to look at him with wide eyes.

I opened my mouth to deny his accusation but he already beat me to it, he kept on nudging his elbow at me while repeatedly wriggling his eyebrows. I shook my head at him in denial but I could feel my cheeks starting to become flushed.

Upon seeing myself blush in embarrassment, it only made him smirk even bigger. I returned my gaze to the girl who just turned around the corner and completely disappeared out of my sight.

, he chuckled but continued shrieking like a teenage girl who got herself a ticket of her favorite band.

I let out a shy laugh before brushing a few strands of hair out of my face, , I tried to change the topic and turned to my heel.

But that didn't made him leave me alone, instead he followed me, , he teasingly poked my dimples who were starting to appear.

, I reasoned out to him and tried to push his hand away from me.

I quickened my pace but Felix still kept bothering me, he kept on teasing me even more, , he mumbled.

I opened my mouth to defend myself but someone called out Felix, we all turned our heads to where it came from. A short dark haired boy, who's probably a year above us, was gesturing Felix to come to him.

, he beamed before excusing himself. I sigh in relief escaped my lips as I watched him approach the older boy, with a satisfied smile on my lips that the latter finally left me alone.

I made my way down the stairs and into the locker hall, to empty my backpack for a bit because i also have a guitar with me. I was about to turn around the corner when i heard familiar voices mumbling to themselves, which made me stop on my own tracks.

I leaned back on the wall as I took a peak around the corner, my calculations were correct. It is them but their conversation caught my attention so I decided to eavesdropped. But i should have known that I shouldn't have listened to them because I'll regret it in the end.

, I heard Shuhua say.

There was a pause before the ruffling of books inside the locker continued, , I was able to recognize that it was actually Heejin's voice.

, Shuhua spoke once again.

I bit my lip while clutching on my chest, does she really not want me to sit beside her that much?

, she added.

, Heejin answered her. , she included.

I went pale upon hearing what she said before looking down on my feet. My lips begun trembling slightly while I clenched my fist on my sides. I tried to fought back the tears that were threatening to spill, I closed my eyes and let out a long sigh.

I heard their footsteps becoming nearer, I quickly regained my posture, trying to remain a neutral face as I pretended that I was looking for something. The two latter looked at me in surprise when they walked past me. But the girl who were in the center, didn't even spared a glance at me.

I tilted my head slightly as their words began running around my head once again. I reached out for my phone to quickly inform Felix about something important,
