The next day at school, I wondered throughout the hallways during lunch, having some alone time as I could say. Last night, I was restless and I didn't get enough sleep due to thinking a whole lot.

I crossed my arms as I leaned on the side wall, frowning.

Taehyung was sure acting strange last night. And it was really bugging me.

After when the bus drove away, I thought he really lost his wallet, but then he said he found it in his pocket right afterwards.

I remember I was pretty pissed at him for that, but I couldn't help but wonder why he did that.

As I stood against the wall, I looked up at the other students passing by me. They were giving me weird looks since I'm just standing here and doing nothing, so I leaned forward and walked somewhere else to be more alone.

As I turned down a hallway where the school infirmary was, and trailed my hand against the wall as I walked in thought.

As I passed the infirmary, I saw something inside the glass window.

I stopped and turned to look inside.

Sitting inside, was Tae.

He was talking to the nurse as she handed him a bottle of pills to take with a glass of water. After he had swallowed them, he got off the bed and thanked the nurse, and proceeded to walk towards the door.

Did he have severe allergies or something?

Why does he have to take so many pills...

I started to panic, and started to run as fast as I could towards the corner to hide. I pressed myself on the wall, and heard the door open and knew he was out in the hallway.

I was gasping, and I couldn't hear him walking towards here, so I turned and peeped out the hallway.

It was empty.

I sighed in relief, and started to walk out of my hiding corner when someone grabbed my arm from behind, and pulled me so that my back was pressed against the wall again.

I looked up to see it was Taehyung.

Oh no...

He looked down at me, showing no expression.

"What are you doing here?"
He asked me, and I started to panic.

"I was just p-passing through this hallway that's all. I'm going to go back now," I say nervously, and turned away from him when he pulled my arm back so I was facing him again.

"Were you spying on me?" He asked again, and I turned my head the other way to avoid his eye contact. He grabbed my chin and turned it up, forcing me to look at him in the eyes.

He didn't sound mad, but he seemed really serious, which was very rare for me to see.

I gulped. "I-I,"

He sighed, and let go of my chin as he turned away and ran his fingers though his hair. He wouldn't turn to face me, and I was worried I made him upset somehow.

"...Tae...did I make you upset?" I asked softly as I stepped towards him.

When he didn't answer me, I reached forward and placed a hand on his shoulder when he suddenly turned around and faced me, his eyes red and was filled with such brimming emotion I couldn't understand. His breathing was shaky, and he looked like whatever he was going to say to me, he couldn't say it.

He looked at my hand, and looked back down at me in the eyes.

"You're such a bother," He said coldly, and I felt a shock throughout my whole body.

"..What?" I say, not understanding what he just told me. Why was he mad at me so suddenly?

"I said you are a bothersome! Why were you just following me here?!" He raised his voice at me, his face was filled with mixed emotions that I didn't know why it appeared.

I was still in shock that he was saying all this, and that he was actually really mad which I I've never seen him like this before.

"I-I wasn't following you here-"

He cut me off as he shook his head. "Yes you were! I knew you were staring at me though the window when I was in the infirmary," He says as he stepped forward, forcing me to step backwards. "You are so annoying, you know that? Next time, don't even follow me anywhere. You need to know how to mind your own business before you get yourself into deep trouble." He finished, infusing the words with venom.

I couldn't even proceed what was happening.
All of this was happening so fast, and suddenly... I felt weak at heart as the pain I tired to cover up from my horrible breakup began to surface and I couldn't even find my voice to argue back at him.

"What made you care so much for me to go see me, huh? Where's that Hyeri who would say mean things or would just tell me to go away? Where's that Hyeri that I'm used too?!"

He asked, taking another step forward.

My back hit the wall, and I just closed my eyes fighting the urge to cry.

"She's gone..." I say quietly, more to myself than to him.

"Why?!" He yelled suddenly, and I flinched.

Anger suddenly submerged though my veins, and became hot. I was shocked, and more than ever, I was extremely confused of why all of this was happening right now.

With trembling lips, I raised my eyes and looked at him in the eyes, while my own were beginning to flood with near tears.

"It's because I really like you!"
And that... I meant with my whole heart.

I really do. I liked him a lot... I realized that well enough to know why I was feeling like this. I didn't want to hide it from him anymore.

I faced the other way, as my emotions got to me and the tears began to flow down my cheeks.

There was a troubling silence in the air, and there was the sounds of me sniffing as I waited painfully for him to say something.

Instead, he put his hand above my head against the wall and only nodded, his eyes lowering away from mine. He bowed his head down for a couple seconds, before raising it again but he didn't look at me in the eyes.

"Taehyung... I said I like you, say something." I say a little angrily, and pushed him on his chest so that he respond to me.

But he just didn't.

I finally looked up at him in the eyes, as I clutched onto his loose shirt, regaining my words. "I fell for you, alright? It's the words you've wanted me to say back to you for a long time! I like you... I really do. You promised that you would make me your girlfriend! Where's that promise now, huh?"

I asked as my breathing began to get shaky while I sniffed, and I felt myself starting to feel more and more desperate every time I confess every word to him.

His eyes, his face, they were all blank with no emotion, no expression. Every time I pushed him back, he never responded back to me, and that really hurt me.

"Taehyung-ah..."

I say his name softly, and leaned into his chest as I cried for him. I felt like I was loosing him... and I didn't want him go.

I slowly wrapped my arms around his torso, and leaned in deeper into his chest.

I don't know why he was so mad at me like this, whatever mistake I've made to him... I wanted to own it all up and say I was sorry to him.

He finally started to respond to me, but to only reach back to grab my arms and take them away from his body.

I leaned away, and looked at him, my bottom lip trembling. "Taehyung, before you want to say something, I just want you to know first that I'm truly sorry for whatever pain I've caused you."

I grabbed both his hands in mine.

"Please... a-and I know before you've told me to stay with you! Here I am! I can stay by your side! I can be your girlfriend now! Why are you doing this to me, huh? Please tell me why... I really don't know why you're acting like this towards me."

He turned, and looked at me dead in the eyes, his voice was monotone as he spoke the words that cut my heart into pieces.

"It was all... a mistake."

Confusion.
Sadness.
Heartbreak.

That was the three emotions that I felt in that same moment.

His hands began to slip away from my own hands that were once desperately clasped around his, and he stepped back before he started to walk away from me, leaving me standing there alone, my hands in the air where they were holding his hand just a minute ago.

Now they just felt cold... and empty.

My knees finally gave out, and I started to kneel down, gasping as I placed my hands down on the floor.

As I crouched there, I didn't feel the tears started to fall, and before I knew it, I broke down into a full sob, echoing through the empty hallway.
