Hoyeon's POV
"God, it's Thusday already?" Jihoon stretched out his arms. "Why? You don't want it to be the weekend?" I asked him and put my bag's strap back to place. He looked at me unbelievably.
"Of course, I want it to be the weekend. I just hope the teachers won't give us homeworks nor projects. I'd had enough shit for this week." I nodded and we finally arrived at the bus stop.
"I can see what you mean by that." I replied and I heard him mutter, "Yeah, that asshole Park Jisung. He was good in his old school, why transfer? Because Sooji's there? Like they'll last long."
I smirked. "Jihoon, there's no need to be jealous." He glared at me and pouted. "Excuse me? I am straight, if I have to tell you again. Anyway, where's Jisoo noonah? And don't tell her I called her 'noonah'." I chuckled and stepped in the bus that stopped in front of us. Jihoon followed me inside and sat beside me.
"She left early because the text she sent didn't actually got sent, so she have to go back to their place to tell Yuqi she's fine." He replied with a nod.
"Why're you beside me?" I asked and looked at him weirdly. He threw back the look on me. "Um, don't we always sit to each other when we ride the bus?"
My mouth formed into an 'o'. "Oh, right. You're Jihoon." His eyebrows raised even more, like it's on its way to Mars. "What now?" I asked when his expression looked down on me with disgust.
"What has gotten into you? Are you pretending that you don't know me now?" I looked outside the window. "I'm just playing dumb with you. Don't take it too seriously."
The both of us stayed silent until the bus started and went on. After how many minutes of silence, I only heard Jihoon said, "I'm not dumb to you, and please don't play with my feelings for you.."

Jihoon and I walked in the school, but we were stil quiet. The walk inside the building is so fucking awkward and I think I'm suffocated by the eerie silence.
"Sorry, Jihoon. For earlier. You don't need to apologize." I said and I felt his gaze on me. I heard him sigh. "It's okay. I was being too dramatic, wasn't I? The three of us should avoid this kind of attitude. It'll break our friendship apart."
I put up a small smile. "I know." We looked at each other and he suddenly wrapped his arms around me. "What--"
"Bear hug from brother bear!" He said cheerfully and hugged me tighter. "Ack! Jihoon~! You and Jisoo are the bears." I felt myself being lifted up. Jihoon dug his face on my neck. "Doesn't that tickle you?" He asked.
"It's your head you used, not your finger nor your chin." I said and kicked my feet, almost hitting his.. yeah. "Oh, come on. You almost hit it again!" I only grinned at him.
"Now, put me down, for John without hair gel." I announced at him. He pouted at me and placed me down. "Wow, you guys looked like a newly wedded couple." Jihoon and I looked behind to see Jisoo with Yuqi behind her.
"I think the pretty lady behind you was jealous." I said and Yuqi suddenly flinched. "E-Excuse me?! I am not jealous at all!" Jisoo, Jihoon and I laughed.
"Pfftt, yeah, right."
"It's okay, I'm not gonna touch your man anymore."
"Eyh, I'm loyal to you." Jihoon said and winked at Yuqi. She suddenly blushed. "Ugh! I really hate you guys! Stop playing with me." I chuckled. "Wait, didn't you say we're dead to you?"
Jihoon and Jisoo glared at me, while Yuqi smiled evilly. "Oh, that shall be today, my friends." Yuqi muttered and Jihoon spoke up. "Run!"
The three of us ran away from Yuqi. "Hey! I was just kidding! Don't leave me here! Ugh!" We laughed again when we heard her complain. We stopped near the hallway to catch our breathes.
"I'm such a bad crush, aren't I?" Jihoon asked, making me chuckle. "She's gonna kill me when we get home." Jisoo said and turned to the both of us.
"What if she'll throw me out of the apartment? What if she'll let me sleep outside? God, guys you should've thought about it!" She said and gripped her hair. Jihoon and I looked at each other.
"You can always stay in our place, duh." I said. She stopped and arranged her hair back. "You're actually right." I nodded. "Yeah, Jihoon will sleep on the cou--"
"Mama bear's not gonna sleep on brother bear's soft fluffy comfy bed." Jihoon said and shook his head. Jisoo and I looked weirdly at him. We exchanged glances and she took my hand.
"Yeah, whatever. We're gonna head to class." I waved goodbye at Jihoon and stick out my tongue. He also did the same but I rolled my eyes and we left him there.
Jisoo and I arrived at our room when someone threw a water balloon at me. Thanks to my fast reflexes, I avoided it. I felt Jisoo's flare from her hand. She looked around the room and asked with her bossy voice. "Who did that?"
Jeongin and his friends, including Arlo, and the rest of the students, pointed at Shinhyuk. She was preparing another waterballoon. She turned to throw at me but she stopped when we all looked at her.
"It wasn't me!" All of us pulled a poker face. "Yeah, like you don't have that yellow water balloon in your hands." Chenle said and shrugged. Shinhyuck suddenly looked down. "I didn't mean to."
"Oh.." Jeongin lifted Shinhyuk's bag upside down and there, water balloons poured out of the bag. "H-Hey!" Shinhyuk shouted and grabbed her bag back. "Yeah, she didn't bring books. Gonna have to tell the dean."
"Jeongin, please, no!" Shinhyuk pleaded. Jeongin only looked at her. "But why would you do such a thing? Did she even mess with you? Last time I checked, you're a noob." Jeongin's friends laughed.
"She doesn't have something in particular with me, but I just want her to feel what it's like to have water thrown at her." I laughed aloud, then Jisoo followed, Jeongin, Arlo, then the whole class.
"W-What are you guys laughing at?" Shinhyuk asked, looking flushed. I wiped my eye and sighed heavily. "Is this about the incident yesterday? When I hit Jisung and the water got spilled to the both of us? God, you believe such a liar so easily."
"I also didn't believe him when he announced the shitty news in the cafeteria yesterday." Arlo said and curled his yellow hair. "You know," Arlo went on and leaned in to Shinhyuk.
"You don't have to believe news everywhere. Find something reliable and strong. You just heard it from a guy you like." He said. I smirked and spoke, "and not to mention I was always there when he lied."
The class all looked at me. "What's with your relationship with him?" Shinhyuk asked. "Did I also forget to mention that I am his ex-girlfriend?" The whole class was shook, except for Jisoo.
I smiled sweetly. "Now, now. You girls who likes this Park Jisung. If you have plans on being his girlfriend, just remember that he'll only have a relationship with you for two months! Isn't that exciting?"
I suddenly turned my face serious and dark. "Unless you naïve assholes want to get hurt." I said and walked to my seat. "Kim Sooji is now his 7th girlfriend, and yes, I'm the sixth. His past girlfriends were popular cheerleaders, school council presidents and just.. normal pretty girls who lives a normal life." I paused and sat on my chair.
"They even warned me that he's dangerous and a harm.. and no doubt that he is." I looked at Shinhyuk then glared at her. "Don't even try to protect such useless man you don't even deserve. Lee Shinhyuk, there are many fish in the sea, there are 7 billion people around the globe and Jisung isn't the only option you have. You can always back out your feelings."
Arlo scoffed and I now found him beside me. "She's right.. and it's Jisung's decision if you have the right to throw water balloons at her." He said, so I added, "Jisung only talked me with this, but you decided to mess with a friend of mine." I turned to look at Jisoo.
Jisoo flashed a scary grin. "You're going to deal with me, dearie."
