The next day
It's already 2 pm and Taehyung still in his room. He hasn't eat anything yet. Prof. Kim starts to worry. He goes to Taehyung's room and knocks the door.
"Taehyung, you haven't eat since this morning. Let's lunch together."
Silence.
"Taehyung, are you there ?"
Prof. Kim asked as he knocks the door. After a few moments, hr heard the door unlocked and Taehyung opened the door. He ignores Prof. Kim and walk downstairs. He didn't even look at Prof. Kim.
"What's wrong ?" Prof. Kim follows Taehyung from behind. Taehyung ignores his question. They walk to the dining table and eat their lunch. Silence. Sometimes, Prof. Kim glances at Taehyung but seems like Taehyung ignores him again.
"Taehyung."
Prof. Kim called. He really hopes that Taehyung will look at him at least or hum after he called Taehyung but no. It didn't happens. Taehyung finish the meal and walk upstairs. Prof. Kim sighs. He knows Taehyung must be ipset with him but he doesn't know what's the reason.

Monday, morning
Taehyung wear his bag and step downstairs.
"I made blueberry pancake for you. Come here and eat."
Prof. Kim said but Taehyung ignores him. He walks to the door and wear his shoes. After that, he heads to the school without saying goodbye and didn't look at Prof. Kim.
"I must ask him later." Prof. Kim said to himself.

Taehyung arrived at his school. He saw Chorong, Eunji and Jungkook in front of him.
"Good morning"
Taehyung said as he puts his hand on Jungkook's shoulder. Three of them look at Taehyung and greet him back except Eunji. Eunji's eyes meet Taehyung's and they look at each other for a moments. Eunji's face become red
"What's wrong with you ?" Chorong asked Eunji.
"Nothing." Eunji said and look away.
"Why does your cheeks become red ?" Chorong asked again.
"A-ani-" Eunji cups her cheeks. Of course she remembers what happened on Saturday night. Same goes to Taehyung. He remembers that he kissed Eunji. Suddenly his lips draw a small smile.
"Wae ?" Jungkook asked Taehyung. He noticed that Taehyung smiled.
"Nothing."
"Did something happened between you two ?" - Chorong
"Ani !" Eunji and Taehyung said in unison. Chorong and Jungkook look at them. When they are in front of their class,
"Watch out !!"
a boy is riding a skateboard, in front of Eunji. Taehyung wants to pull Eunji's hand to save her but Jungkook is faster than him. Jungkook pulls Eunji's wrist until she is in his embrace.
"DON'T PLAY THE SKATEBOARD IN THE CLASS ! YAISH YOU KID!!"
Chorong yelled.
"Mian !!" the boy shouted from far.
"Gwaenchana ?" Jungkook asked. Eunji is still in his embrace. She then release herself and nods. Taehyung stares at them and he feels... weird.
'Is this whay we call, jealousy ?'
He thought.

Taehyung's POV
Recess
Eunji is helping Mr. Jae brings the book to the office room. Jungkook, Chorong and I are having our meal at the cafe.
"Did you do that on purpose ? Or, were you really want to save her ?" Chorong asked Jungkook. I get it what is Chorong talking about.
"Did what ?" Question answered by question.
"The incident. This morning."
Bingo. And the moments play in my mind. Jungkook pulled Eunji into his embrace. Suddenly I lost my appetite.
"I wanted to save her. That's all."
Jungkook's answer make my appetite come back again.
"Do you have a feeling toward Eunji?"
I asked. Just to make sure what my heart says is not true at all. Chorong and Jungkook stop eating and look at me like I've done a crime.
"What ?" I look at them blankly.
"Yes, Jungkook liked Eunji since long time ago."
Chorong told me  Not a long answer yet still can break my heart and I lost my appetite again. I paused and force a smile. My heart is not wrong.
"Yaish" I can see Jungkook's face is turning red. Probably he's shy.
"Why don't you co fess to her ?"
OMG Park Chorong please don't force Jungkook to confess to Eunjim Of course I'm jealous.
"I suggest you not to confess to her." I said with my deep voice. Chorong and Jungkook look at me.
"I mean, not now. After we graduate ?"
"That's right." Chorong agreed. I hope Jungkook will agree too.
"I guess Taehyung is right."
Jungkook answered. I try to hide my happy smile.

Eunji is heading to her workplace while listening to the music. She then sensed someone is walking beside her. She stopped and look at the person.
