Ni-ki |

I led Sunoo out of the restroom and we walked towards the lockers.Opening my locker, I retrieved a set of clothes and handed them to Sunoo.

"You can use these. They might be a bit big on you, but it's better than walking around in wet clothes," I explained.

Sunoo took the clothes and smiled appreciatively. "Thanks again, Ni-ki. I owe you one."

As I watched him disappear into the bathroom to change, a sense of unease settled within me. I hadn't intended to blur the lines of our fake relationship, especially not when no one else was watching. I had convinced myself that playing the role of his boyfriend was just a necessary act, but in that moment, it felt strangely personal.

What was I doing? Why did I offer him my clothes without hesitation? I had to remind myself that it was all part of the plan, a charade to protect him from unnecessary attention. But as Sunoo emerged from the bathroom, wearing my clothes and looking somewhat more comfortable, I couldn't ignore the strange tug of emotions inside me.

We walked back to the cafeteria together, Sunoo now clad in clothes that were a bit too loose on him. The curious gazes and whispers followed us as we entered, but I did my best to maintain a calm facade. It was challenging, though, knowing that Yuna's actions had pushed us further into the spotlight.

Sunoo approached our friends, who were still waiting at a table in the cafeteria.. They all looked at him in surprise, and Jungwon was the first to speak up. "Sunoo, are you okay?"

Before Sunoo could answer, I interjected, trying to steer the attention away from the incident. "Don't worry, I had some spare clothes, so I offered them to him."

The explanation seemed to satisfy them, and the conversation gradually shifted to lighter topics. But deep down, I couldn't shake off the unsettling feeling that offering Sunoo my clothes was still something I wouldn't have expected from myself.

As the lunch break continued, I found myself stealing glances at Sunoo, the sight of him wearing my clothes etching itself into my mind. I had to remind myself that it was all part of the act.But despite that, I couldn't help but wonder if there was something mo- I mean.. what would've happened if I didn't borrow him my clothes. Yeah. That's what I meant.

The incident in the cafeteria had left me feeling embarrassed and vulnerable. It wasn't the first time someone had poured water on me, but this time, it felt different. The fact that the girl had taken it upon herself to humiliate me in front of everyone was a blow to my self-esteem.

As I sat at the table with our friends, wearing Ni-ki's oversized clothes, I couldn't help but feel a mixture of gratitude and confusion. It was surprising to see Ni-ki come to my aid, especially considering our complicated fake relationship. Just a few days ago, he had been the one pouring water on me. So why did he help me this time? Was it simply because of our pretense as a couple?

I tried to push those thoughts aside and focus on the conversation happening around me. Jake was telling a funny story, and everyone burst into laughter, including me. It was a momentary distraction from the lingering discomfort of the incident. Deep down, though, I couldn't shake off the unease.

As the lunch break came to an end, Jungwon and I made our way to our next class together. We walked side by side, our strides in sync.

After school, Jungwon and I decided to head to his house to do our homework together. Walking side by side, we strolled through the familiar streets, the weight of the day's events still lingering in the air.
