pov: there has been a rumor circulating around the campus that you and ni-ki are dating. you still can't figure out how it happened and who started it, but one thing's for sure: it's not real. it's actually impossible for you to date ni-ki because he doesn't like you. you like him a lot, but it's just one-sided feelings. you’ve constantly shown him your affection, yet he always acts coldly, clearly indicating that he’s not and will never be interested. that's why, when the rumors started, he immediately found you in the classroom and pulled you onto the rooftop, where the wind whipped through your hair, carrying the weight of your unspoken feelings. ni-ki’s expression was serious, and you could sense the tension in the air. “what's the rumor all about?” he asked, frustration lacing his voice. “you know it’s not true, right?” “i didn’t start it, ni-ki! i swear,” you replied, your heart racing. “i just wanted to clear things up.” he let out a frustrated sigh, running a hand through his hair. “it’s annoying. people are so quick to assume things. do they really think we’re dating?” you nodded, feeling the sting of rejection. “i think they just see us together sometimes and jump to conclusions.” he shook his head, clearly irritated. “well, it needs to stop.” your heart sank at his words, the finality of them hitting you hard. you tried to explain more, but he was already walking away, leaving you standing there, feeling utterly defeated. days turned into weeks, and you kept your distance from ni-ki, convinced that he now hated you. you stopped following him around, avoiding any situation where you might run into him. one day, after class, you found yourself alone in the hallway as you prepared to lock your locker. just as you were about to turn the key, a guy approached you, leaning casually against the wall. “hey, you’re ni-ki’s girlfriend, right?” he asked, a smirk on his face. you frowned, shaking your head. “no, we’re not dating.” he raised an eyebrow, clearly amused. “right, because he seems like he’s not interested in you at all.” you felt a knot tighten in your stomach. “we’re just friends,” you insisted, trying to ward off the uncomfortable conversation. the guy leaned closer, an unsettling grin on his face. “how about we go out sometime? i could show you a good time.” your heart raced, and you shifted uncomfortably. “um, i’m not really—” "come on, just one time!" the guy insisted. just then, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed down the hallway. ni-ki rounded the corner, his expression fierce as he locked eyes on you. “stay away from my girlfriend!” he shouted, the authority in his voice startling both you and the guy. “girlfriend? she just said you two aren't a thing,” the guy said, smirking. ni-ki stood beside you and held your hand, intertwining his fingers with yours. "you don't know anything, so stay away from her," ni-ki said. your heart raced, and curiosity piqued. what was he talking about? the guy chuckled humorlessly. "stop putting on a show, ni-ki. you don't even like her. she's not your girlfriend." ni-ki’s jaw tightened. “do you want me to kiss her for you to believe it?” you felt your heart drop, surprise washing over you at his boldness. the guy smirked, leaning back slightly. “yeah, do it.” ni-ki turned to you, his gaze intense. you felt a flutter of nervousness as he stepped closer. the air between you felt charged, and your heart raced. with a steadying breath, ni-ki leaned in—not for a kiss on the lips, but to gently press his lips against your forehead. it was soft, tender, and unexpected. you blinked, caught off guard by the gesture, while the guy’s expression shifted to one of disbelief. “okay, okay, i get it,” he muttered, backing off. as he walked away, you looked up at ni-ki, your heart still racing. “why did you do that?” he met your gaze, a hint of a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.
