"What the hell was that?" Nara whisper-screamed and he smirked at her mischievously. "I just saved ourselves from trouble." His voice was low but loud enough for her to hear. It was deeper than his usual voice and Nara found it a little attractive.

After a while the hallway became quiet and Nara tried to move away as she was already feeling very suffocated and awkward to be trapped in between Taeyong and a wall. "Let me go." She spoke sternly, hoping he'd stop blocking her more in the tiny space.

"Taeyong plea-" "Who asked you to hang out with that loser again?" He fired, not letting her speak. She felt his eyes looking right through her soul. Taeyong was furious about her hanging out with Yungho and she clearly knew it. Looking away, she asked him to move away again ignoring his question. "Answer my question Nara. Who asked?" He asked again, his jaws clenched.

"None of your business." -Nara

"Okay then, I thought we were closer than this." He felt a little hurt.

"Oh we are? Yeah right we are too close that we don't even speak to each other now and you do whatever you want to me again. That's how people show true close friendship." She almost screamed at him and tried to push him away but he was too strong. "What's wrong with you, Just let me go to class." Nara screamed at his face.

"I won't. We need to talk." -Taeyong

"Talk about what? Your feelings towards that Yejung and asking me for permission to hang out with her more often? Well if so, you don't need to because I have nothing to do with your life." -Nara

"You need to stop predicting everything. You aren't any better hanging out with Yungho even when I told you how much of a betrayer he is." -Taeyong

Nara clenched her fists. Both were glaring at each other.

"I will hang out with whoever I want, so you do the same. We weren't friends for that long either way." She pushed him again but this time, he moved closer to her. "I won't hangout with Yejung." He mumbled quietly, his fierce expression fading away slowly. "What?" Nara's words spilled in a whispery voice. She was in utter shock to hear those words coming from Taeyong. "I won't hangout with Yejung so please, If I mean anything to you or if I am a valuable person in your life, stop hanging out with Yungho." Taeyong was a little teary so he moved away from her as quick as possible, turning around and dabbing his eyes with his sleeves to dry his eyes.

"Are you crying?" Nara asked. She wasn't angry anymore. She felt hurt.

"No I'm not. I'm sorry for whatever I just said, I just don't like to see everyone going against me." -Taeyong

"Everyone? Who went against you? I know I am one but who else?" -Nara

"Nevermind it. You can go back to cla-" -Taeyong

"No let's talk." Nara knew something was up and she couldn't just let him be. She actually likes him and care for him although she is trying to hide it through meaningless harsh words and actions.

They sat down, back leaned against the wall. Both of them were sitting next to each other facing the empty wall in front of them. "Spill." Nara said, not taking her eyes off the wall. "Spill what, I don't have any liquids right now I'm sorry you are hot I don't even have a cold drink. Sorry for dragging you in here." He spoke with his lips pouted. Nara chuckled.

"Yong. I meant, tell me all about it. What's wrong?" -Nara

"Oh that. First, I know that you are angry so like no need to be that kind. Also the thing is. I don't know. I know I was wrong to hangout with Yejung like that even after knowing a lot about her from my friends. It's like, I did not listen to their advice at all. I'm sorry about that, I know I disappointed you too. I don't feel for Yejung, Nara. Please remember that I don't, she ain't my type at all. Jaehyun said a lot at me because I hung out with her and said that I have no rights to say anything at you just because you are hanging out with Yungho. He took his side by saying Yungho at least texted you while you were sick...I don't know. I felt like everyone was going against me because you were also with Yungho. I was afraid because he might take away what's mine again." Taeyong expressed how he truly felt. "Take away what's yours? What do you mean.." Nara asked. "My friends and that includes you heh.." He stuttered a bit. "I can understand Jae's anger towards you. It'll all be okay when you go back to your normal self again but you need to apologize for sure. I'm sorry too. I hung out more with Yungho because I felt lonely again. I can't really be with Jaehyun since he is in your friend circle. Not like I wanted to hang out with Yungho, don't worry he ain't taking no more from you. He cannot take away more from you, I won't let him." Nara gave him a reassured smile and Taeyong smiled back. "Really?" His puppy eyes and big smile softened her heart.

'He's so adorable' She thought.
 
"Yes for real but remember to go back and apologize to your friends. Also, in order for me to help let's get you back on track!" Nara beamed. "What do you mean back on track?" However Taeyong wasn't really pleased to hear that. "Practice again. Practice a lot and train more, I'll make sure you get back in the swimming team again." "No thanks. I don't want to." Taeyong rejected right away, the smile on his face switched to a frown.

"What do you mean no Taeyong? I'm trying to help yo-" -Nara

"I don't need help. Also, I'll apologize to my friends but I won't train or practice again." He said as he walked out leaving Nara alone in the store room. He did want to be back on team again but even if he went, he thought everyone would hate him more. Even the coach dislikes him so he couldn't blame himself for disagreeing.

"God, so stubborn! I'm not giving up Lee Taeyong, I'm going to prove that everyone is wrong to think he is a cheater." Nara was confident that she could somehow convince him to do as she said.

"Anyway, it's a good thing that we made up. Feels good to be back. He's cute, adorable. A squishy who's trying to be a rebellious kid in school, isn't that the cutest thing ever." Nara gasped at her own words. "Oh Jesus what am I even saying. God he's such an annoying prick ugh, helping him is worse than feeding a crying toddler. Need to get my shit together!" She continued to talk to herself as she head back to class.
