Soojung's POV
{One week later}
A week went by since the incident and I've been avoiding both Taeyong and Jieun. I just couldn't bear to see them together. The whole week, I've seen both of them walking into class together, eating lunch, and sometimes going home together too. I'm not going to lie, it hurts a lot seeing them together. but the weird thing is I've never really seen them initiate in any sort of skinship before but I guess they are maybe taking it slowly but who knows.
I caught Eun Na spying on them one day and so I told her to stop it because she might get caught and get in trouble but also they might think that she's doing it because I asked her too, which I don't want to happen. Throughout the week I've been seeing them hanging out with Johnny too sometimes which I get why he took her side. I mean he is her best friend.
During the week, Jaehyun has been helping me get over them and I really appreciate him for doing that for me. I love him for that. Anyway, today, I got a business class before music class and I have a big assignment to get done before the weekend is over. What a stressful DAY!
{After business class}
The class is finally over and quickly heads to music class. I got there earlier than usual and earlier than everyone else. Well, that's what I thought. I reached the music room and immediately greeted the sound of music. I peeked inside to see who was inside. Of course, it was Jieun. She was dancing alone in the class. Despite the fact that I hate her for what she did, I can't help but admit to the fact that she is very talented. I'm not going to lie, I miss her a lot!... If you've asked me before, I wouldn't have thought that a guy would break us up, especially a guy like Taeyong.
'Why...why does it have to be Taeyong, Jieun-ah' I thought to myself.
I peeked in again and saw that she was finishing up her dance, so I built up my courage and went to the class. She looked at me, surprised. I don't blame her, I have never really been this early to music class before. I sat down and just kept quiet and so did she. The silence between us was intoxicating and like torturing. I saw that she was about to say something but the door interrupted her. Students came rushing in. 'Thank god' I said in my head. Is it going to be like this every time we are alone? Is this what's going on between us now, Jieun-ah?!
Jieun's POV
The class starts and the teacher asks everyone to present their assignment that was given last week to the class.
"Okay, class today as you know we will be about presenting the assignment I gave you last week which was?" the teacher asked us.
"What is Love?" everyone in unison said.
"Good! So I hope you did your homework because I don't want to be disappointed especially since this is taking 10% of your credits" she said. 'Thank god, we did ours over this past weekend' I thought to myself as I looked at Soobin.
*Flashback*
{3 days ago - on the weekend}
Today, Soobin and I will be practicing for our assignment that is due on Wednesday. I gave Soobin my address 2 days ago because I have a dance studio in my house so it's more convenient for us to practice instead of renting out a place. 2 hours went by, it's already 1 in the afternoon, so Soobin finally came.
"Come in!"
"Thanks..." he said.
"Woah. Nice house btw" he said.
"Thanks, I guess," I said while slightly giggling at his surprised face.
"Would you like something to drink?" I asked him.
"Sure! The water would be fine. Thank you." I grabbed a bottle of water from my fridge.
"Here!" I gave him the bottle.
"So where is the studio?" he asked.
"Come with me"
I walked upstairs, with him following me behind to a door next to my bedroom. I opened the door and turned the lights on. I saw his shocked face again which I find kind of cute actually. I giggled at the face he made.
"I know, it's one of my favorite places. I always come here every time I want to relieve my stress" I said.
"I can see why..." he said as he looked at the size of the room.
"Well then, shall we dance?" I said, slightly laughing.
"Yeah. Sure!"
I turned a random song on and we started to stretch first. We then start to discuss what song to do. I thought of a good one. We tried to choreograph it. We liked the way it looked and decided to do the song. We practice for about 3 days for at least 4 hours a day. After practice, we hung out, talked, and actually had dinner either at my place or we ate out. It felt so nice hanging with Soobin. I felt like I could be myself with him. Even though, we only hang out for just 3 days.
*End of Flashback*
After a couple of people presented their dances, they were amazing btw. It was our turn. So, we got to the center.

We finished our dance and then the teacher asked, "Why did you pick this song specifically? I'm curious because both of you are already in the advanced stage in dance itself already. So why pick a song that doesn't show much?" Soobin was about to reply but I beat him to it.
"We wanted to show the basics of dancing. Even though they are basics, people tend to not execute well due to its simplicity as well as misjudging it as easy, which is harder to pull off than it looks. So we decided to better highlight the basics of dancing more into these because it is our first time dancing together and also with the song being delicate as well", I said to her calmly.
"The reason behind this song choice is because Jieun thought that the song initiated the patience on finding the loved one instead we should learn to love yourself first before loving others even if you're craving the love," Soobin said, interrupted me.
"You don't have to find love if it's meant to be then they will find each other," he said but this time he looked at me.
I was staring at him the entire time when he was explaining everything, so now we are just staring at each other. He gave such a loving and caring stare but then it turned into sadness and guilt. Both of us looked away. The class was silent for a minute until the teacher said,
"Okay then, both of you seem to get the point of your assignment. You both had a great explanation with your definitions of Love and the dance did show the basics and was executed beautifully. As I expected, you never disappoint. Both of you can sit now. Thank you for the performance"
The next pair went up. The entire time Soobin kept on looking down or staring at the people dancing. I wonder what's on his mind. Then, "Hey, you okay" I turned to see Johnny oppa.
"Yeah, I'm fine..." I replied.
"Really?" I just nodded.
"Okay then. You were great as well btw. It looked like both of you were a couple" he said teasingly. I just smiled and focused back at the class when I felt someone staring. I glanced to see who it was and it was Soojung unnie.
Soojung's POV
I stared at Jieun the entire time when she was dancing. I could tell that she loves doing it. She looked so happy dancing with Soobin. When they finished dancing, the teacher asked them about the assignment so Jieun explained it but then Soobin interrupted her. What Soobin said surprised me and didn't at the same time, if that made sense. It surprised me because he just expressed that he liked her in front of the whole class and her 'new boyfriend' but I knew from the start that he liked her. Like actually genuinely liked her.
From the last line, he said to Jieun, I could tell he truly likes her and was hoping she did too but then it turned into sadness and guilt. That's when I figured, he found out about it. He knew about all the things that have been going on for a week now about Jieun and Taeyong. He looked so heartbroken as I was. They looked away and went to their seat and yet I still couldn't keep my eyes away from Jieun. She cared for him and could as well possibly like him too by the looks of it. But why now... she has a boyfriend now, doesn't she?? It got me so confused. Then Jieun glanced over and I quickly looked away and focused back on the class.
Eun Na's POV
After the past week, Soojung unnie caught me spying on Taeyong oppa and Jieun unnie and asked me to stop. Stating that I should respect their privacy despite everything. I knew that she is curious herself and wants to know more about their relationship but she is still hurt by it, so I just stop, for her sake. She is right tho besides I have a lot more stuff to do especially being a law major and everything. I definitely have no time for things like that. So far, everything has been the same since then. I have been checking on Soojung unnie a lot to see if she's okay. I can see that she's managing. I didn't go to music class because it wasn't in my schedule because I only took special minoring on it, where I just took a few classes on it. I'm mostly focused on law. It's a lot but I love it. It was time for my break, so I thought that I would just spend it at the library as I had a lot of assignments to deal with.
{At the library}
I sat at the very corner of the long table which only had about 5 people occupying it. I began doing my work when I saw someone placing a bottle of vitamin water in front of me. I looked up and saw Jinyoung sunbae.
"Oh! Sunbae" I whispered as we were in the library.
"Hi," he said.
"I thought you might need it as it's your break and you seemed cramped up with assignments, I see," he said, smiling while looking at the workload of paper surrounding me.
"Thank you, sunbae," I said.
"Oh, there's no need to be formal with me"
"Really?!"
"Yeah"
"Well then, thank you... oppa" I said and I saw him blushing. I smiled at how cute him blushing was.
"You can continue on with your work then. I'll just be here doing mine" he said as he sat in front of me.
"Thank you again," I said.
He just smiled at me. He took out his work and did it seriously. When I was doing mine, I couldn't help but glance at him from time to time. He actually looks quite attractive and cute when he works seriously. 'Kyeopta' I thought to myself. 'Wait... I can't like him. You just broke up with Winwin. Stop it. Focus on your studies' I thought, shook my head, and focused back on my assignment. I can't like him... I mean I barely know him plus. Pull yourself together. I need to focus on my students to be able to graduate from law school. I can't deal with this now especially with what had happened over the past couple of weeks.
