( pov )

" When I went on stage, everyone was cheering and smiling at me. It felt amazing! But guess what? Yerin's father, Mr. Bae Min-hyuk, was there as the chief guest. It didn't bother me at all because I have no problems with him. But it seemed like he wasn't happy to see me on stage. Anyway, I shrugged it off and looked at the supportive audience. I was searching for one person in the crowd, but couldn't find her anywhere.

" I thought she didn't come to cheer for me but Just as I was about to start my speech, I glanced to the left side of the big red curtains backstage and there she was, smiling at me ...,

" My heart skipped a beat when I saw her smiling face. It made me smile too. I don't know why, but in that moment, I felt so grateful to God ...,

"best of luck" ..., she whispered gesturing and gave me a thumbs up. I understood what she meant right away and nodded quickly. The cheers and hooting from everyone snapped me out of my gaze on Yn. I turned my attention towards the crowd and continued with my speech.

" I finished my speech and I signaled Yn to check her phone on stage, but it seems like she didn't receive any of my messages. Now I'm in my office, waiting for Yn to come. I really need to talk to her about something, but she hasn't arrived yet. It's been almost two hours, and I'm still waiting while the annual event is still going on.

"Yn, where have you gone?" ..., I whispered to myself, as I looked at the messages I sent her while resting my head against the chair ...,

" As I was lost in my thoughts, I was brought back to reality by a knock on the door. A surge of excitement rushed through me, and I quickly sat up straight in my chair, as bright smile spreading across my face. I thought it might be Yn.

"Come in," .., I declared, trying to hide my anticipation, but still maintaining my usual welcoming cold personality. The door opened, and my smile suddenly faded. It wasn't Yn; it was just another girl from her class ...,

" Mr jeon It's already 6pm and the annual event is over. Ms. Yuna asked me to let you know that she's waiting for you at the back of the stage. ..., she kept her head hung low as she informed me. I just nodded in response, and she quickly left.

"I let out a sigh, got up from my chair, and grabbed my phone. I walked out of the office and made my way there. When I arrived, I saw lots of students and professors chatting and laughing with each other. I ignored them and turned my gaze towards the corner. There she was, arms crossed over her chest, waiting for me ...,

" I walked up to her and stood in front of her ...,

"Yuna, you called me?" ..., I asked with a blank expression on my face. Honestly, I wasn't really in the mood to talk or do anything else.

"Hey, Jungkook, let's go grab some drinks!" ..., she exclaimed excitedly, with a bright smile on her face.

"No, Yuna, I'm actually heading home. I'm not feeling well," ..., I replied, looking at her. Her expression instantly changed.

"Are you okay? I mean What happened to you, Jungkook?" ..., she asked, looking at me with a worried expression on her face ...,

" I'm alright, Yuna, don't worry. I just need some rest," ..., I replied simply, with a slight smile on my face. Yuna quickly nodded in understanding ...,

"Okay, Jungkook, let's go then. We'll go home together," ..., she stated with a smile, reaching out to hold my hand. As she did, my thoughts immediately turned to Yn.

"Yn is still here. I can't just leave her stranded. She'll struggle to get home by bus, so it's better to go with her," .., I thought to myself, snapping out of my thoughts when I heard Yuna's voice ...,
