"So tell me, your company accepted your offer?" Jisoo asked Taeha at the dinning table.
"Yes, your Idea worked, but they said I can only stay until the dance competition."
"What? they are very few days.
No, I can't let you go this early.
"Just joking, they gave me five months, we have schedules in Busan and my band members will be coming soon too."
" You are done with your questions now?
I have some questions too so you better be prepared." Taeha said.
" What questions?"
"Have your dinner first." He said with a straight face.
Jisoo somehow had an Idea of what he was going to ask, her smile suddenly faded.
After dinner, in Jisoo's room....
Taeha was about to say something serious...
"If it's about Haneul, you better not ask anything." She interrupted .
"I won't ask you about the reason, just tell me- he left you alone in the playground or not ?"
"How do you know about the playground?" She cross questioned.
"I asked you something first, he left you alone there or not?" He asked again furiously.
"He had a reason, Taeha," she answered hesitatingly.
"A reason? Was his reason bigger than your safety?
If even a slightest thing had happened to you, I would not even have let him breathe a sigh of relief. I swear."
"Relax Taeha, look I am completely fine." She replied.
" He is lucky for that, and don't worry I won't ask you anything more, infact, I will ask directly to him now."
"You are not saying anything to him," She ordered.
" But I will, it's going to be a very long day for him tomorrow," saying that he left her room furiously.
Next day, his manager took him to the school.
While he was discussing something with the teacher, he met eyes with Haneul in the staff room.
They both gave each other a cold look.
As Haneul stepped out from the staff room,he saw Jisoo right infront of him, he wanted to ask if she was ok, but she walked away towards the washroom without even looking at him.
Like, she was ignoring him intentionally.
In the wash room, Hyeri was already there so she turned back to avoid her.
" Yesterday, I enjoyed tiramisu cake with Haneul, the weather was so romantic too." Hyeri said to Jisso.
"Haneul likes blue berry cake more," Jisoo replied sarcastically.
" But you know what? People tend to change their choices with time.
Take yourself as an example, he rejected his first love to be with me." Hyeri replied to extend the argument.
"Maybe you have a lot of misunderstandings because as far as I know Haneul, he might not have eaten even a single bite and
before even a single drop of rain falls on the ground he must have gone out to look for me.
Hyeri started burning after hearing that.
"He had gone to find for the sake of humanity and in the end he came back to me.
He doesn't even want to see your face, after what you did to me in the playground." Hyeri replied furiously.
"It was all your plan right? Forcing me to come at the playground at a rainy day, forcing me to slap you, and then Haneul comming to defend you at the exact timing when I was about to slap you, it was all planned ."
Hyeri heared some footsteps and said,
"Wow, you should be a detective Jisoo, yes you are right, I called him just to show him a different side of Jisoo. And yes, I specially chose a rainy for it, you know why? ...
No.., I won't tell you now,let's save it for later.
Jisoo hold her coller and asked desperately, Why are you doing this to me? I said I could give you as much money as you want, why can't you leave me and Haneul alone?"
As she said that,she noticed some girls were standing there, just like Haneul they heard half conversation and started murmuring.
"Jisoo, we are friends, please don't do this to me." Hyeri said to gain those girls sympathy.
Then she turned back and act surprised like she didn't knew someone was coming.
"Sorry, I can't accept your offer, Haneul is more important to me than your money," saying that she left while faking tears.
Jisoo was left traumatized, "So this is how you manipulated haneul at the hospital -to hear the part you wanted him to hear." She said to herself.
The dance classes were off that day.
Taeha was transferred to a different class room, he waited until lunch break and as soon as the bell rang, he entered Haneul's class room,
" Park Haneul, let's talk."
Everyone was staring at him,he was a new face with blonde hair and someone who dared to yell at Haneul.
Jisoo got tensed, "Taeha, not here please," she insisted.
"We will have lunch together later , wait for me at the cafeteria, I need to say hi to my childhood friend first," he replied her.
"Don't make a scene here, it's a class room, let's talk somewhere else," Haneul said.
Haneul took him to the rooftop," So, What is it now?" He asked.
"I have a lot to ask, but explain me that important reason first, that you left Jisoo crying in a playground ,knowing her condition - when it was just about to rain."
"I thought she would have made some excuses until now.
I guess, before yelling at me, you should ask herself."
Hearing that, Taeha got furious and grabbed his collar, "What did you just said....dare to say it again...
You know that very well that she can't lie."
Haneul started laughing sarcastically," But she got better in it now, you know what she did?
She, accused my girlfriend Hyeri of being an gold digger.
You know why? So that she could snatch me away from her.
She even offered her money to break up with me.
I would have fallen for her lie if I had not heard everything with my own ears.
Infact, even after doing this much drama we forgave her, and in return, she tried to raise her hand on Hyeri."
"What?
There's no way.
I don't believe this kind of shit, she is type of a person who would give up on her own plate to feed a hungry person.
And you are saying she accused someone just to get you?"
"It might be bitter, but it is what the truth is, she is not that Jisoo anymore, she is just an obsessive person who could do anything to get what she want."
Before Haneul could say anything else Taeha punched staight on his face,
" How dare you to say something like that about her."
Haneul punched him back and said,
"Because, she dared to do something like that."
They continued fighting verbly and physically.
Jisoo was getting nervous sitting in the cafeteria,
"Why is not he here yet?" She said to herself.
After sometime, she called them, and they didn't pick up,she went to find them but they were not anywhere .
"Wait I didn't check the rooftop yet."
She caught them fighting on the rooftop, she tried to stop them but they were not listening.
Taeha was about to punch Haneul but she came in between.
Taeha, who was about to punch let his hand lifted in air.
"I told you to stay out of it Jisoo."
"And I told you to not go this far for me, look at your face it's bleeding.
Don't forget you are an idol Taeha."
" I don't care, I just wanted to shut this mouth up who was splitting shit for you.
You don't know what he talks behind you."
"I know, and he doesn't talk behind, he already have said everything on my face.
So just stop it right now." She lowered her tone.
"Ok, just for your sake I am letting him go for now." Saying that he was about to leave.
"Wait....Where are you going?
Do you want to get scolded by the teacher on the very first day of your school ?
Both of you stay here, I will get the first aid.
And, don't you dare to even touch each other."
