Pervy looks extremely annoyed right now. I even dropped my pen when he suddenly scowled at me with no reason. I failed to pick it up coz the professor might think I'm not listening.

I might have an idea of why he's pissed.

Today is their scheduled date for cleaning, together with slutty (Tiffany). Their assigned location is the room. Tss! How easy. I often think the professors are really unfair when it comes to pervy. They would give him easy jobs and wouldn't even scold him even if he was not paying attention to the discussions. Tss!

Pervy's connected eyebrows show us how pissed he was. He hasn't talked to anyone since class started till now that it's about to end.

"Ya! Wait for me!" pervy pulled Jonghyun as our classmates started walking out of the room.

"We'll wait for you outside. Come on, Jewel." Jonghyun dragged me along.

Since Jihyun's birthday, all 7 of us have always walked home together, and Pervy doesn't seem so happy about it. At the same time, Minho and I have become closer. He always stayed on my side till Jihyun and I arrived at the apartment. Our apartment was the closest, so we were the first to leave the group. And during that period when we were all walking home, I'd never heard pervy talk. He often has this Im-not-in-mood look.

"YA!" I heard pervy call out to us.

"Oppa! Let's start cleaning." a female voice brightly said.

Tss! I furrowed upon hearing the voice. Somehow, I wanted to stay to have a close look at slutty. Who knows what she'll do?? She has a big crush on pervy. What if she suddenly kisses him? Or worse, what if she suddenly rips his clothes off? What if...What if...Aish! Why am I even thinking about this? I.DON'T.CARE!! Let them do what they want to do!

I walked off stomping. Leaving Jonghyun behind.

Why do I suddenly feel so pissed off?

(KEY'S POV)

I searched for a broom but found Jewel's pen, which she dropped when I scowled at her. I can't stop laughing silently upon remembering how shocked she was. I picked up the pen and kept it in my pocket.

Sigh! I can't believe I'm stuck with Tiffany! I took a broom and a dustpan that I found in the drawer at the corner of the room to finish this off quickly. Still, this desperate girl, a.k.a Tiffany, took it from my grasp and pushed me on a vacant chair, making me sit.

"Oppa! Just sit there. Let me do all the work, " she said, stopping me by my shoulder.

I removed her hand and stood up. "No! Let's finish this up! I want to go home!" I want to be free from you! Geez!

"Ani(No) oppa!" she made me sit again. "I don't want you to get tired. Just sit there while I clean."

I stood up again, annoyingly. "Ya! I don't need you to tell me what to do! Let's finish this up quickly!"

"Oppa-" She was about to touch me again, but I glared at her that made her pull back her hands.

"Stop calling me oppa! Why do you keep calling me oppa when you are older than me?!"

"Because I like you." she responded brightly. Geez! How much confidence does this bitch have?!

"Tss! Well, listen here, and listen very carefully! I... DON'T...LIKE...YOU! Understand?? I just want to finish this and get out of here!"

I walked away from her to start cleaning.

"WAE(WHY)???????" she suddenly yelled, which made me stop and turn back to her with furrowed eyes. "IS IT BECAUSE YOUR ITCHING TO BE WITH HER??!"

"What?" I was left dumbfounded.

"Do you think I don't notice how you look at Jewel?! Why?! What does she have that I don't?! She doesn't even like you! But I do!"

She doesn't even like you...She doesn't even like you...

The words keep on repeating in my mind. I don't know, but anger suddenly filled up my entire body.

"SHUT UP! I don't like any of you!" I yelled back.

There was silence after that. We were both breathing deeply. She stared at me the whole time, but her eyes shifted afterward.

She looked back at me and said, "There will never be you and her."

Then, she suddenly cupped my face, and I felt her lips touch mine.

(JEWEL'S POV)

"Oh! I forgot to pick up my pen!" I lightly hit my head my forehead with my palm.

We were now waiting for pervy to finish cleaning at the bench where we usually sit outside the school building.

"Where?" Jonghyun asked.

"At the room. I'll just get it. I'll be back in a sec." I said as I ran off back to the room.

I hope pervy notices my pen and picks it up. I like that pen so much. My handwriting is pretty when I'm using that pen.

When I finally arrived near the room, I noticed the door was open, so I just stepped in without knocking...but I wish I didn't.

I saw pervy and her...kissing. Everything happened so fast, but I could clearly see and remember everything. She cupped pervy's face as her lips touched his, and pervy was just standing there, probably savoring the kiss.

As if what I saw stung me, I automatically jumped out of the room and leaned on the nearest wall.

What did I just see? They were kissing, and pervy didn't even object. Are they having a secret relationship? And that was their only chance to show how much they love each other? They kissed because they thought nobody would see them. But..I swear I saw her look at me. I'm sure she saw me. And even if they're not in a relationship, why didn't he push her away? Does he like her, too?

Thinking about these thoughts, I felt something unusual. The feeling was slightly painful, and my stomach churned slowly. I touched my heart because it was acting weird, like a handful of arrows were shooting straight at it.

"Damn. What is this? It stings. It burns."

I walked out of there rather lifeless as my hand rested on my chest because of the burning sensation I felt.

"Are you okay?" Minho was already at my side, even before I could reach them.

I didn't even know I was already out of the building.

"What happened? You look pale?" I held Onew's hand for support as he approached me. I felt weak all of a sudden.

"I'm just tired. Just tired." It appeared like I was talking to myself, forcing myself to believe I was just feeling like this because I was tired.

"Did you get your pen?" That's Jonghyun.

"Just sit here until Key's done." Minho said as concern filled his face.

Seeing pervy face to face after what I saw made my throat dry like it traps all the air from my lungs.

"I wanna go home." I let go of their hold and started walking without turning back.

"Wait, unnie!" I heard Jihyun call out.

"Hyung, is noona gonna be okay?" Taemin this time.

I didn't mind looking back to see their expressions. Their voices alone show how worried they are. Before I could finally reach the school gate, Minho was beside me. We were both silently walking home when Minho suddenly stopped his steps. He grabbed me by my shoulder and made me face him.

"Tell me what's wrong. Please. It sucks seeing you like this, and I can't even do something about it." he pleads.

I stared briefly at him before finally deciding to talk.

"It..it hurts. Why?" was all I could say. I noticed how my voice broke.

"What hurts?" he asked, alarmed.

I absentmindedly touch the part of my chest where my unstable heart rests to answer his question. As if understanding what I meant, he nodded.

"Tell me. What happened back there," he ordered. There was a trace of authority in his voice.

I just stared at his concerned eyes. I tried to open my mouth but closed it again. He wouldn't understand me. I know he'll think I'm stupid because I think I am.

He sighed and pulled me into a hug.

"We're friends, right? You can tell me anything," he whispered.

I let go of his hand and started talking. The piercing pain wasn't totally eased, but I felt much better.

"Let's go." he said after I told him what I saw.

"Where?" he held my hand and dragged me away instead of answering.

"Let's get you home. You need to rest." I didn't complain about his hand resting on mine. Somehow, his hand brought warmth, and it felt good.

I just stared at the tall figure ahead of me and smiled weakly.

So, this is how it feels to have a friend.
