There was peaceful silence. Even though she and Jaemin don't exactly get along well it wasn't awkward she began to see a light within him. Maybe he doesn't hate her? She felt a little giddy inside thinking that they both can be on better terms.

Her flow of positive thoughts fell downhill as soon as a voice broke through."Oh Hi guys! What are you doing here?" she asked, smiling at both of them. The last person Taeyeon would've wanted to see.

"None of your business" Jaemin said in a monotone. The boy walked away bumping into the girl's shoulders before making way down the stairs.

Not wanting to be there alone with her, Taeyeon followed suit. She didn't even send a glimpse towards the girl. An emotionless expression, not even taking in her existence.

Out of the blue a soft warmth tingled her wrist. Byeol held her hand gently, looking into Taeyeon's eyes.

"Hey Aer- I mean Taeyeon... can I speak to you?" she asked softly. Instantly, Taeyeon shook her head. Not hearing any footsteps trailing behind him down the stairs Jaemin stopped, confused as to where Taeyeon is. He began to climb back up in search for her.

"Can you let go? I have to leave!" Taeyeon harshly lashed out. "What did I do to you? Why are you avoiding me?" Byeol cried out, her voice sounding hurt. Jaemin laid back, not stepping in. He just watched the two afar hiding.

"I'm not avoiding you!" she denied. "Yes you are! I've been meaning to talk to you Aera!"

"I'm not Aera! You've got the wrong person" Taeyeon cruelly pulled her. Spinning around on her heels she tried to run away. "You're not fooling me Aera! You were my best friend!"

"Were? ..." Taeyeon scoffed. She couldn't help but feel a slight pain in her heart from the word.

Were... i'm not your best friend anymore - she thought

"Look ... Han Byeol is it? I'm not the girl you are looking for. She is dead! Long gone so stop pretending that you know me" Byeol's mouth dropped. She was about to advance towards Taeyeon but was stopped when Jaemin walked up to the girl.

Seeing Jaemin, Taeyeon froze. I thought he was gone. Did he hear?

"What's going on?" he asked, acting clueless. He raised his eyebrows at Taeyeon waiting for her to respond. Her expression relaxed and she shook her head.

"Nothing! We should leave" Taeyeon pushed him to walk down. As she took the set of stairs she glanced back. They were far from Byeol but Taeyeon could still make out her features. Emotional and .... her eyes were glassy.

If Taeyeon wasn't wrong, Byeol looked like she was crying. "You coming?"

"Huh? ... yeah..." she slowly walked up to the boy not turning back around.

Lunch hadn't finished yet and the two joined the table in the canteen. Was Byeol really crying? She couldn't help but think back to what she saw. A chair moved in front of her. Taeyeon looked up to see Byeol sitting right in front of her greeting the others.
