YUJIN was nervous while standing in front of the classroom door.
She and Wook were asked to return to their class after Aunt Hayi asked the teachers to call the principal.
Her friends were in the same class, but she was still nervous.
[It's already break time, so our classmates must be… uhm, talking?]
"Yujinie, should I open the door for you?"
Yujin turned to Wook, who was standing beside her, and shook her head. "You should go back to your own classroom, Wookie. Choi Doyun must be worried about you."
"But I'm worried about you," Wook said. "Yujinie looks afraid."
Well, it wasn't like she was scared per se.
But she didn't like being the center of attention, especially if the attention was negative. Her anxiety couldn't handle it.
"I'm fine," she said. "In fact, people will only talk more about us if they see us together."
"They'll talk about us whether they see us or not."
Ah, he had a very valid point.
