After school, after bidding goodbyes to their friends, Chenle and Hyejin walked back home together quietly.

'What happened?' She asked as she looked at him. 'You're unusually quiet.'

'No...what happened to you, Hyejin?' He stopped in his tracks and looked up at her with a frown.

'What do you mean?' She asked, stopping too, confusion written all over her face.

'You like Jisung, don't you?' He asked, his eyes turning soft. 'Don't deny...I know you do. It's obvious.'

She looked away slowly.

'Are you trying to look like Yuki to impress him?' He asked, stepping closer to her.

'Chenle, I...' She started. '...yeah.'

'So you do like him.' He sighed. 'But why act like Yuki?'

'Because she's pretty-' She was cut off by him.

'You think she's the only one pretty here?' He asked, sadness and anger mixed in his voice. 'What about you? You're pretty too. Prettier than her. Heck, you're the prettiest girl I've ever seen.'

'Chenle, why are you saying this...' She muttered, her cheeks turning red. 'I'm not that pretty-'

'Yes you are, Hyejin!' He raised his voice. 'You are pretty just the fucking way you are! You don't need to try to be someone else to be pretty!'

She flinched as he raised his voice at her.

'And looks don't even matter, Hye! I don't even know why you're comparing your looks with anyone else.' He ranted. 'You're pretty as you are. You won't even know if you made someone else fall in love with you.'

His eyes turned soft as he started walking ahead.

'If you be yourself, and don't act to be pretty, then Jisung will definitely fall for you.' He said and walked away, while she just stared at him.
