SANA'S POV

I stayed inside the school cafeteria since I'm late in our first class. I waited for the time to finish before I enter our room. Of course, what do I expect? Everybody got shocked and asked me various questions why am I late and such.

They figured out that I am not in the mood to tell a story, so they left me. Except for Mina, of course. She's my seatmate.

"S-Sana," I faced her. She pointed Tae's vacant seat. "Where is Tae?"

"I don't know." I answered her. It might sound bitchy, but I don't really care right now. I am not in the mood to talk.

"Then why are you late?" Jin asked.

"I woke up late." I answered him with a lie. Actually, it's half true since I woke up at around 7 am.

They kept silent. I knew that they didn't believe me because waking up late isn't me. And having this attitude isn't me.

Mina continued on interrogating me. She transferred to Tae's seat and Jin stood up to gossip.

"Did you two have a fight?" Mina asked frankly.

"Yes--"

"Good morning, class." Mr. Yoon interrupted me.

"Tell later." Jin pointed me and they went back to their original seats.

Recess.

I stood up to go to the school canteen, but Namjoon and Jin stood up on the doors and covered it. It's like they are guarding it from me.

"Excuse me," I said politely, but they whistled--pretending that they didn't hear what I said. "Namjoon, Seokjin, let me out." I ordered them. They looked at me with smirks on their faces. Of course, I looked up to them. They are damn tall.

"No, no, no." Namjoon waved his index finger sidewards. And then he pointed someone at my back. I turned to look at that certain someone and he's pointing at Jihyo. "Jihyo told me to do this."

"What--"

"Tell us what happened first." Jihyo cut me. "Why aren't you in the mood?"

"Did something bad happen?" Chaeyoung asked.

"How about Tae? Why is he absent?" Tzuyu asked as well.

"Did you two fight?" Kookie added.

"Yes." I answered them. They fell silent. "Tae and I fought earlier. We're not in good terms." I honestly said.

"What happened to Tae, then?" Mina asked.

"I think he should be the one that will answer that question," I replied. "But since I think he will not be around for some days, I think that I should answer your que." I added. "His grandma passed away."

They were shocked. After getting shocked, they asked permission if they could visit Tae. I said yes, but told them that I'm unsure because Tae might get mad if he knows about this.

They decided that they will visit him later.

I called Tae's sister. Thankfully, she answered it after the fourth ring.

"Sana?" She answered.

"Unnie," I called her. "Tae's friends will visit him there in the funeral parlor."

"Really? You told them?"

"Yeah, I did." I sighed. "They are asking me about what happened to him a million times already. I think that they should know about this."

"I'll tell Tae." We both sighed.

"Unnie," I once again called her name. "How's Tae?"

"He's not yet going home. He stayed here for today." I got worried when she said that. "I was begging him to go home and atleast take a shower or eat, but he's not giving me any of his attention."

"I want to talk to him, but we fought earlier." I told her. "Can you keep updating me?"

"Don't you wanna talk to him? Why did you fight?" She asked.

I let out a deep sigh before answering, "Maybe he got sick of me. I'm just worrying about him. I want to see him and hug him as soon as I see him."

"Visitors are coming, Sana. I'll update you later."

"Sure, unnie. Thank you. Bye."

"Bye." I ended the call when our instructor entered our room.

Momo's dad offered us to take us for a ride. Kookie requested that he'll stop by on a flower shop to buy a bouquet.

I also requested to go on a drive thru because I'll buy Tae food. Even though that he'll give me no attention, I just want to try.

When we got in the funeral parlor, Momo's dad said that he'll fetch us after 3 hours. It's a short time though.

We entered through the doors and Tae's sister immediately went to us.

"Sana," she hugged me. I gave her a warm smile. "Tae's over there."

"Please give this to him, unnie." I sighted at Tae that is sitting on the front bench.

"Sure." She took it. "Please, don't be shy." She smiled at the gang and they all checked Tae's grandma. I sat on the last bench and just watched them.

Kookie gave the bouquet to Tae's sister and she placed it aside. They also kissed and hugged Tae. They said their condolences.

"When will be the burial?" I asked Tae's sister when she sat beside me.

"On Sunday." She answered. "Please be there."

"I will." I assured her.

Silence passed by us. Until I saw Tae stood up and walked by us.

"Tae," I held his wrist, but he ignored me. He took his hand back aggressively and exited the room.

The gang is also looking at me. I smiled at them, assuring that I am fine.

Although I'm not.

My heart broke when he did that simple gesture. He's mad at me.

I stood up, "I'll go ahead, guys." I told them. Kookie immediately stood up and held both of my shoulders.

"I'll take you home." He whispered.

I shook my head, "No. Be with Tzuyu."

"Tzuyu can handle herself."

"So does me." I half-smiled. "Look, Kookie, I'll be just fine. I will text you guys as soon as I am home."

He sighed in defeat. "Okay. I can't argue with you."

"Thanks." I looked at him and the gang. "Bye."

"Be safe!" Momo waved her hand in the air before I walk away. I smiled at them and exited.

I stopped infront of Tae's room when I passed by it. I stared at it for a moment and decided to knock.

"Tae...please open up." I told him. I continued on knocking. "Please..." I didn't stop from knocking.

Until he opened it. He stared at me--more like a glare, actually. I'm not scared of his glares anymore.

I hugged him. But he didn't hug me back.

"I miss you," I told him with my cracking voice. "Talk to me, please." He held my arms and took it off forcefully.

He pushed me away slightly and stepped back. He shut the door to my face and I was left outside his door, crying.

I kept my tears from falling. I entered my room. I placed my bag somewhere and cried on the bed.

I want to make things alright between me and Tae. I don't want to fight anymore.

But I guess, he doesn't want to. But I will do everything for us to be okay again. I will not give up on Tae.

*

The next day, I prepared myself to school and knocked on Tae's door. He didn't open it, so I opened it without his permission.

The first thing I saw was the food I bought for him yesterday. The paperbag is on the floor and the food is on a chair. He's sleeping on his bed. And he has no plans on going to school.

I cleaned his room and left a note for him.

I swear, I will do everything for him because I love Kim Taehyung so much.
