It's been three days and next week is the start of our school again. Haruto visits me here twice and we bond a lot. About jihoon, I don't know if he's mad but he looks like one. I sigh and took ny cellphone. I scrolled through Instagram until i saw taeyang's post.

Taeyang:
Aera! Thank you for talking to him, we're good now:)
Aera
No problem. You're my friend. Btw, so how's the date today?
Taeyang:
Yay, I'm with him today and he said that he wants me while he's recording some songs, you know he really loves music.
I sigh as i stare at the TV. My mom sit beside me that makes me notice her. Why am i even spacing out? I shouldn't be thinking about them.
"Are you okay?" I looked at my mom as she asked me the question. I nod as a yes and smile a bit, trying to hide what i really feel.
"I know you're not, aera. You can always tell me what you feel. What is it?"
As soon as my mom said that words to me, i hugged her tight. She tap my back gently while her other hand is combing my hair.
"Mom" i called her in a low tone.
"What is it? Don't tell me it's about boys?" She asked and chuckles.
I let go of the hug and pouts. "I'm serious mom"
She laughs. "Okay okay, is it haruto?" She grins at me.
"No mom, he's my bestfriend. It's jihoon" i said shyly.
She smiles at me and nods a little. I can see that in her reaction, there's nothing wrong about it. She hold my hand and stare at my eyes.
"So, i see that it's jihoon. Do you like him?"
"No mom, we're just friends. I-i just don't know what to feel i don't know mom" i said don't know what to say, stuttering.
"Care to tell me what exactly happened?"
I calm myself first before speaking up. "We became close since i turn sixteen. I don't know but we started talking and we hang out once too. There's nothing special about it really but he's kinda sweet towards me. One day, taeyang say to me that jihoon courted her and jihoon flirts to girls even though he's courting her. And awhile ago.. i saw taeyang's post on Instagram and they're together. I don't know why am i feeling this, mom. I feel like jihoon is mad at me because he's not talking to me"
"What is your last conversation?" My mom asked, that makes me confused.
"Uhm, i said to him that he should not mad to taeyang and he asked me if i know the reason and i said yes and then he left" i said and sigh.
"Hm aera, that looks suspicious"
"Suspicious? What do you mean mom?" I asked confusedly.
"Taeyang say to you the reason but did you try asking jihoon what is his reason?"
I became speechless. My mom is right, i never asked how he feel or what is the reason. I should call him right now!
"Mom, i will call him. I'll go upstairs" i said quickly.
As soon as i stand up and turned around, i saw my brother at the end of the stairs. It looks like he's been there for so long and his reaction looks that he heard everything. He avoid my gaze and went directly to the kitchen. I want to talked to him but i still run upstairs.

Hyunsuk Aera shared her thoughts to my mom and I didn't mean to eavesdrop but i heard what my sister said. She says that you're flirting to the other girls even though you're courting taeyang that time.
