He whispered loudly. Do-yun was the first to react. His eyes darkened, but he managed to keep his cool. "Where?" He growled.
"Um...it was somewhere near the locker rooms."
They all started to walk towards the locker rooms, except for Jin-ah. She stopped them, turning around so that she was standing in front of them.

"Wait, wait. Can't we just...leave him alone?"155Please respect copyright.PENANAKVwRxCreIf
Jin-ah asked.
"But Jin-ah..! Don't you.." Kyong trailed off.
Jin-ah shook her head. "I don't care anymore! He could go with Bora. Why should we care? I definitely don't! It's not our problem anymore. We're done caring. Let's just go." She sighed and crossed her arms, leaning against a wall.

Kang-dae was being pushed up against a desk by Bora. He struggled against her, but Bora had a tight grip on him. "Bora..." he breathed out. "Let go. We shouldn't be doing this.."
Bora didn't reply to him. She stared at Kang -dae intensely, making sure he wouldn't run away. After a moment, Kang finally looked away, staring at his shoes instead.
"I'm sorry, Bora." He mumbled. "But please, let go of me."155Please respect copyright.PENANAWE5eK7undo
The girl loosened her grip on his shirt slightly, allowing him some space to breathe, but she remained where she was. He took his chance.
With one swift movement, he freed himself from her grasp, which shocked her and made her fall backwards. Her knees hit the ground and her palms scraped harshly against the hard flooring beneath her.155Please respect copyright.PENANAdlmvl7gxiI
He stood above her, breathing heavily. She sat up, holding onto her knee, looking at him.155Please respect copyright.PENANAt7exNXfbN4
After a few minutes of silence, Kang-dae cleared his throat.
"I'm not into you, Bora. I never will be. You're just some annoying girl that thinks she can get close to me because of your status. So please, get the hell away from me."
His voice softened and he looked away.
"I'm tired of waiting for you to realize. I'm sorry. I hope you can forgive me eventually. I wish you the best." He started to walk away, before he felt her grabbing onto his arm, causing him to look back at Bora, who had already gotten up.
"..Tell me, Kang-dae. Is it Jin-ah?!"
She asked angrily, her glare growing more intense within seconds.
"How did you...?" Kang -dae stammered, unsure of how to respond. He wasn't quite sure how she figured out he liked Jin-ah. That was supposed to be a secret.
She continued. "What's so special about her?! I have it all, Kang-dae. I'm so much prettier than her and yet... you won't even try and touch me. Is she so fucking special that you don't want to get close to me? Because you like her? You don't even show any feelings for her!"
Kang -dae shoved her away. "You're sick. You could *never* get on Jin-ah's level. You're nothing compared to her."
He began to walk away again, but he felt her grab his shirt.
"Fuck off."
He spat at her, shoving her arm away before storming past her.
The boy walked away, leaving behind an angry and heartbroken Bora.
"I have to find Jin-ah."
~
Kang -dae ran as fast as he could through the hallways, trying to find Jin-ah155Please respect copyright.PENANAVXK7MwonDz
He searched the entire school, but couldn't find her.155Please respect copyright.PENANAEzzgFcFyrN
"Where is she?" He murmured softly to himself.
Kang-dae was angry with himself.155Please respect copyright.PENANAn6Pk880Roh
'*If I'm gonna act like this, I might as well confess to Jin-ah.*' He thought. The boy quickly grabbed his phone and dialed Jin -ah's number.
No answer.
'Shit.'155Please respect copyright.PENANAvV0KjBER4L
Kang -dae cursed under his breath. "I can't believe I left her behind." he pouted. Kang-dae looked around to see if there was any sign of Jin -ah or anyone else, but he still couldn't find either of them. He sighed. "Where are you guys...?" He whispered.
Kang -dae looked around the hallway again, searching for any signs of the group, but there were none. He was fed up with everything that had happened in the past hour.155Please respect copyright.PENANAP7KZF1YrJJ
"Damn it!" He shouted, punching a wall. Suddenly, the lights suddenly flickered out.
155Please respect copyright.PENANAsuQK7Yv227
Kang-dae looked around frantically, hoping to make out Jin -ah or anyone around him, but all he saw was darkness.
"Is it because of the rain? Is that why the lights went out?"
155Please respect copyright.PENANAUyqBkeb60A
He questioned himself, then shoved his hand inside his pocket, grabbing hold of his phone.155Please respect copyright.PENANAcZx2ggdCsj
Kang-dae turned on the flashlight, then started walking. He wanted to get back to Jin -ah before the lights started flickering again.
Kang-dae walked until he bumped into another person. He stumbled forward a bit and tried to regain balance. Kang-dae scoffed, flashing his light at the stranger.
It was Do-yun. Do-yun's squinted his eyes, looking at Kang with surprise and slight anger.155Please respect copyright.PENANAzkolEW0rI9
"Stop blinding me with that light, damn!" He shouted angrily.
Kang -dae raised an eyebrow, "What are you doing here?" He answered curiously.155Please respect copyright.PENANALKeMo172pR
"Looking for you, stupid ass!"
155Please respect copyright.PENANABz8yxS1gOj
Do-yun complained, pushing Kang-dae's arm softly.
Kang -dae chuckled mockingly. "Ooo, you're looking for me~" he said, laughing lightly.
"Well of course, idiot. You still need to apologize to Jin-ah." Do-yun rolled his eyes. "And don't deny it, asshole."
Kang -dae laughed, shrugging a bit.
"So what? I know she doesn't feel the same way about me after what happened tonight."155Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZlN42AEJt
Do-yun scowled and glared at him.155Please respect copyright.PENANAk7TDjUOvAe
"That's not true. She's...into you, Kang-dae. I know she likes you." Do -yun admitted quietly.
Kang-dae frowned at him. "You think I don't know that? I've heard her talk about it plenty of times," He said sharply, shaking his head. "I know you like her too. But I'm sorry. Because she's mine , alright? And I'll treat her better than you ever will."
He added, crossing his arms over his chest. Do -yun clenched his jaw. He seemed to be struggling, trying to say something, but no words came out. Kang -dae just waited for him to say something. Do-yun sighed, then chuckled.
"Don't worry, doofus. We both know how bad she likes you. That doesn't mean I'm not going to pursue her, though."155Please respect copyright.PENANAZGOG1M0WJX
He grinned, showing his canines.155Please respect copyright.PENANAAmLtkG0MRq
Kang -dae nodded slowly, smiling fondly.
"Of course, asshole."
