it's another week and another day of school and here i am, lazily sitting in english class, waiting for namjoon-nim to proceed with the lesson.

my eyes watches him shuffle through the piles of sheets on his table but soon enough my mind begins to wander- sending me off into a daydream.

this morning there where two sticky notes in my locker mostly because i hadn't read the one that was given to me on friday. the message on friday's note was food for thought because i immediately thought of taehyung.

the words written on the little yellow note were:

"you're my salvation, you're my shield. i just need you. you got the best of me. i need you. so please just don't leave me. you got the best of me."

the sentence within that paragraph which caught my attention was 'so please just don't leave me'. it's eerily similar to what taehyung mentioned that saturday evening; about staying there (in his life) a little longer and about forever. but i shrugged it off remembering i got this note before saturday.

and the second note which is orange in colour made my heart cry and my suspicions grow; suspicions that just maybe these sticky notes are from taehyung. my heart truly believes that there's a possibility that it can be from him but my brain completely denies it.

why can't those two ever work in conjunction?

the sticky note had read; "you got the best of me. whether this is a dream or reality, it's not important. just the fact that you're by my side. thanks."

i'm certain that the orange note is a continuation of the yellow note but it's the words on the orange note that's bothering me even more because my mind keeps flipping back to saturday night when i was with taehyung. the fact that i was literally by his side wasn't a dream but a reality.

i sigh. maybe this is all just one big coincidence.

"alright class," namjoon-nim's voice breaks my train of thought. "i've got the results of your analysis based on the poem season's." i sit back in my chair and watch namjoon-nim walk down the row stopping just in front of taehyung.

"some of you did exceptionally well while some of you did not and with that in mind please remember that this counts toward your dp which you need to make inorder to write your mid-term exam." namjoon-nim says looking at the test scores. "also the highest is an eighty," i hear gasps and oohs. "and the lowest being a three." the class erupts into incessant gossip and laughs.

"whose dumb enough to get a three?" i just manage to catch jungkook's words. i purse my lips, i wonder.

i look over at taehyung and he's just watching namjoon-nim walk around the class and handing over the respective sheets to each student then makes his way back to where taehyung and i are and hands us a paper each.

i immediately drop my paper over my desk not wanting to see my mark because i fell asleep in the midst of completing this analysis and hastily wrote down a few not-thought-out points just before i handed it in.

so i might very well be the one with the embarrassing three.

i breathe in while turning over the paper as slow as i can. i open up one eye, taking a peek at my mark. i heave a heavy sigh and drop my head on the desk, "yah! thank the heavens and the stars." i mumble over my paper but i feel a poke to my side.

i look up to meet the gaze of taehyung, "what did you get?" he asks.

"i got seventy seven. what about you?" i smile sincerely and he lifts up his paper and my eyes widen after seeing his mark, "y-you got an eighty." i stutter. "aish, well done." i pat his shoulder and he chuckles.

heavens, this boy is definitely intelligent. he got a higher score than me and i really enjoy english.

i'm not jealous or anything i'm actually happy for him and getting an a for poetry analysis is not an easy task because most of the time the poems make zero sense.

poetry!

- yahh! something just clicked in my brain- he as in kim taehyung got an a for poetry... omo! and those sticky notes with those fancy words... i swear the suspicion i have on taehyung just grew to new heights.

i cry invisible tears, why can't the person just admit who they and let me live in peace now because i'm honestly getting my hopes up way too high. i'm sure my expectations will soon lead to disappointments if i keep thinking this way.

"soo yeong ah~." i turn to face jimin. "i got a seventy five!" he cheers softly and i smile, "good job jiminie ah~, fighting!"

he fists his hand, "fighting! oh and here's your journal." he wiggles his eyebrows. "this person really likes you." i blush and take the book.

just at that moment namjoon-nim comes over to jungkook's table and hands him his analysis. i watch jungkook flip over his paper to look at his mark but his eyes become innocent and doe and his lips part.

"oh." he simply says.

jungkook managed to score the lowest in the class.

jimin leans over to jungkook, "aish, kookie ah~ did you really use the word pardon in every sentence you wrote." i don't know whether to chuckle at jungkook's innocence or to feel sorry for him.

taehyung looks at jungkook sympathetically, "this is why you need to lay off on the computer games maknae." jungkook pouts and looks down. "but i'm sure there'll be a make up test for this." taehyung assures and jungkook nods.

"alright class," namjoon-nim gets everyone's attention. "you all have your marks and i'm sure some of you are happy and some of you are not." he looks at jungkook. "but don't stress too much because for those who haven't passed a supplementary will be written a few days after the spring festival break ends." i hear some sighs of relief. so that means not many passed. "so that leaves you with more than a week to prepare."

i turn to face jungkook and it looks as if a wave of relief just washed over his body. i smile and face forward.

"one more thing before i dismiss you guys for lunch. i just want to wish everyone a safe and happy spring festival." he smiles warmly. "and i will see you all next week." he moves to the front of the class. "you're all dismissed."

everyone quickly gets up making their way out of the class.

"taehyung ah~," i lean over to him as he packs up his things. "we're going to have lunch together okay?" i send him a warm smile.

he chuckles pulling me into his side. i blush, "of course, i've heard alot about seokjin hyung's food so i'm looking forward to it."

"yah! you two!" jimin yells standing a few centimetres from our tables. "get a room!" i blush harder and taehyung lightly punches jimin.

taehyung gets up to leave with me still beside him and we make toward the exit.

"have a good spring festival namjoon-nim!" taehyung hollers and i face namjoon-nim sending him a small wave.

"neh, see you next week nim!" jimin says shortly after.

"bye namjoon-nim!" jungkook waves.

he's smiles at us revealing those deep dimples of his, "thank you and i wish you all well!"

we exit the class with smiles knowing that we departed with namjoon-nim on a good note.
