"Do we need to go through this small space? We can just go around from that direction," Taehee spoke out as 'she' walked behind Jaehyun.
"Shortest route," Jaehyun answered.
The usual indifferent look sat on Jaehyun's face whilst Taehee held a joyful, gentle expression as always. As it was almost afternoon, the sun got brighter, and the cold breeze decreased.
Taehee's woollen sweater was tied around 'her' waist whilst her long hair pulled into a high pony tail. Sweat shone at the corner of her face. On the hand, Jaehyun had his coat hanging on his shoulder.
Both of them gave off a majestic outlook, and standing beside each other, none of them overpowered others' charms. Together, they were truly eye-catching.
"Heol¹! You're totally lazy! You're willing to take with tiny and hot route just because it's the shortest," Taehee commented. "Anyways, what are you going to do about your mother? She's more troublesome than my status."
"Remove her," Jaehyun responded.
"You're too heartless," Taehee spoke out light-heartedly. "How can you talk so emotionlessly about destroying someone who gave birth to you? Moreover, there are chances of Jinhee not accepting you."
"You're worse for acting like a pervert," Jaehyun pointed out.
"At least I don't act like a shy school girl." A smirk formed on Taehee's figure.
"You are a school girl," Jaehyun voiced out whilst turning back.
"Is that jealousy I hear?" Taehee arched up his eyebrow.
Turning back, Jaehyun was adamant on avoid her. Taehee truly had the ability to infuriate one— him included. Following behind Jaehyun, Taehee's feet mistakenly stumbled on to a rock.
Losing balance, Taehee found 'herself' falling forward, and instantly, 'she' grabbed the closest thing to 'her' in order to gain stability. The thing Taehee held was Jaehyun's waist, and 'her' actions let Jaehyun to be pinned against the wall.
In the moment of clumsiness, Taehee's lips landed on Jaehyun's, and 'her' eyes widened, mirroring how horrified 'she' felt. The sound of something falling distracted both of them.
Jaehyun's and Taehee's eyes fell upon Jinhee, and before they could clarify the situation, she ran away, leaving behind a water bottle.
Kissing one's rival and having the individual one is pursuing see that was truly terrible!
Jaehyun instantly pushed Taehee from himself and ran after Jinhee. Taehee followed after Jaehyun whilst inwardly, cursing Jaehyun. After all, this wouldn't happen if Jaehyun didn't take this route.

Wiping away the tear that fell down her eye, Jinhee attempted to held in the pain she felt. Although she thought she had grown stronger, it seems that there was not much progress. What she felt was disappointment for herself.
'It's been more than two week since you were reborn yet you're still the same. Stop feeling pained, Jinhee. They don't matter. They can kiss and be together. After all, that's what you planned for.'
Nonetheless, the stabbing ache in her heart remained, as her feet forwarded. Suddenly, shouts from the student made her halt.
"Quickly! Call the ambulance!" One of the teacher exclaimed.
People started gathering at the site beside the staircase, and it seemed that someone from their school had gotten hurt. Judging by how panicked the teachers were, this person was quite important.
"Did you see? Hyunbin took such a great fall."
"Even though he is arrogant, this was quite pitiful."
Voices of the students reached Jinhee's ear, and before she could process it properly, she found herself rushing towards the site. Her steps stopped when she saw Hyunbin lying down unconscious, as blood flowed down the wounds from different parts of the body.
