Hyunjee was on her way home. She felt like today was her BEST DAY ever. She never thought that a scary-looking giant like him would be such a nice guy with his panda best friend. She also thought that it was really cute when he pecked her wound and everything he did to her today. She honestly didn't know how to react towards his action just then. She felt butterflies inside her stomach but she just acted normal outside instead. The smile never left her lips ever since she got into the car.
She finally arrived back home safely and went inside to see her mom which was sitting by the gigantic tall chair reading a book, "Hey mom!" She approached while waving.
She closed the book and placed it on a table beside her, "Oh hel-" she paused when she spotted a bandage on her hand, "Is it a bandage? Are you okay? What happened?" She worriedly asked.
She quickly hid her hand behind her back, "N-nothing..." She stuttered.
"No, it's not nothing! Let me see it." She said.
She then let her mom to see it, "It's only a cut, mom." She said flatly.
"Aww my poor little baby got her first cut." She giggled, "By the way, how come did you know how to treat it?" She asked.
Her eyes widened, "Umm, someone treated it for me." She said grinning.
Her mom was giving her that 'look' full of curiosity, "Ayee, my little baby already got one, huh?" She teased and smirked.
She quickly hid her hand and blushed, "W-what? N-no-" she stuttered and was still blushing furiously.
Her mom giggled and smirked, it's really an unusual thing to see her mom acting like this, "Who is he? What's his name? Why don't you introduce him to me?" She asked.
Again, she blushed and tried to hide it by holding her cheeks, "Mom.. He's just a friend." She said.
She giggled again, "Your father was once my friend too." She said smirking.
"Well.... I'm going to my room now." She said trying to get away from her curious mother and quickly rushed to her room.
Before she was lost from her mom's sight, "You owe me a story, young lady!" She shouted.
"Mom!!" She yelled as she closed her room's door.
--
As she got inside, she quickly thought about some bubble bath. Relaxing her body inside a hot foamy water was the best idea after a quite busy day at school.
'What a day... So many unexpected things turned real' she thought while entering the bathroom.
'I just made a very delicious sandwich! The taste might not be so much different from professional chefs, though!' She thought as she filled the tub with hot water.
'And he just.......' She stopped and looked back at the bandage while flashbacking the moment where he pecked it and was being very nice to her with a smile stuck on her face.
'What was that weird feeling?' She wondered while looking at herself in front of the mirror.
She took a deep breath and exhaled it all at once then looked back at her own reflection on the other side of the mirror, 'he's really sweet and cute which doesn't match his appearance at all. He looked like a tower, a scary looking tower to be honest. Well, he's not scary at all once you get to know him' she thought while smiling at the mirror.
'To me, he's a sweet, cute looking giraffe' she thought while checking the tub as she poured some liquid soaps that soon will be foams.
"It was just like in the movies, huh?" She whispered to nothing in particular.
She smirked while remembering how silly the first time they met. She thought that he was a new kid too, just like her. He seemed to be a nice guy. But when she remembered that he was actually a senior, her smile faded away.
"Well... According to a few movies I've watched, it won't work out. But trying won't hurt, right?" She continued wondering while dipping herself into the foamy water.
Talking about hurt or heart broken, she had never experienced it at all. She never knows how it feels yet she always looks at the bright side. Broken heart is an example risk of loving and hoping for someone too much.
After she came back from her 'little world' inside her mind and rinsed her body from the foams, she went downstairs and grabbed some snacks then got back upstairs.
Looking at her school bag, she remembered that tomorrow is the last day of the orientation session, 'does that mean I won't see him as often as in these three days?' She thought pouting.
The third day at school, Kai was still absent due to his injury which means Kris and Tao were still in charge for taking care of class D.
Entering the class, Hyunjee saw none of her friends there, 'they three haven't arrived? But its 5 minutes away from the first period' she thought as she sat on her seat.
Not long after she sat, Kris and Tao came in. They were earlier than usual. She caught Kris' eyes were looking into hers and he also winked. A wink that no girl could ever resist. A wink that melts every girl A wink that...no one could ever receive except for her- Hyunjee.
'What the....? Is his eye okay?' She thought innocently.
"Morning!" Tao greeted the class, "We're so sorry that we got here a bit earlier than usual. It's all because Kris ge wanted to see--" Kris immediately cupped Tao's mouth with his hand so that he couldn’t continue his sentence.
Tao's eyes widened to Kris' sudden action. He was trying to speak but no word could be heard clearly. Gave up trying, he quickly bit Kris' palm, "Ouch!" Kris pulled back his hand and shook it as if it hurt so badly.
When Tao was about to continue his sentence, he stuck his tongue out, "Yuck! Your palm tastes weird, ge!" He said.
The whole class was laughing included Hyunjee to the two older guys in the class. The two senior that always acts so cool, that everyone feared, wasn't what it looked like at all.
Seeing Hyunjee giggled because of their silliness, Kris' cheeks turned a little red because he was embarrassed.
The door swung open and Hyerim came in breaking the laughs and turned it into a dead silent class. Yes, some of the students were afraid of her because of her sharp stare.
Kris and Tao returned to their serious face and just get straight to the announcement with a serious tone, "So today is the last day of your orientation and tomorrow you guys will officially start your studying here!" Tao said.
The entire class looked so happy but not for Hyunjee. She doesn't seem to be happy there, 'Does this mean we won't see each other this much?' She wondered with a little pout which caught by Kris' eyes.
'She doesn't seem to be happy, what happened?' Kris wondered, 'Even though I couldn't see her often starting tomorrow, I'll spare my time to meet her. I will' he thought then smiled.
"Remembering you guys will start your normal activity in this school tomorrow, we will give you a tour around the school so that you'll know every rooms and places here." Hyerim added.
'Touring the school? Does this means I'm going to go all alone? Woori, Myungsoo and Sungjong are late.' She thought which made her cheerless.
"Okay guys! Now follow me!!" Tao said pointing to his back signaling them to follow him and opened the door as the older seniors face palmed.
Tao, Hyerim and half of the students had already left the class while Hyunjee was just getting up from her seat with a sad look on her face as Kris approached her.
"I think your friends are late. And late students are going to tour the school separately." Kris said as she gasped then sighed.
"Don't worry, I'm here with you." He said comforting her and patted her head.
Her eyes widened and looked up at him, "Thank you, Oppa!" She said with an eye-smile and a little blush decorating her cheeks, 'he's really nice' she thought as they both left the class.
'Is it even legal to you for being so cute, adorable and beautiful at the same time?' Kris thought while looking at her who was talking to him nonstop on their way to the field.
“Hey, why did you look so sad back there in the class?” He asked.
“Huh? Nothing..” she said lying.
He tilted his head to face her, “Really? I thought you were sad because you couldn’t see me more.” He teased and chuckled.
She blushed and still didn’t want to see him in the eye, “W-what?”
He laughed to her rededned and nervous face, “You heard me~” he said playfully.
Her eyes widened again and trying her best not to blush, “I…-“
He laughed his head off to see her red face, “I was just kidding!~” he said while messing her bangs.
She just remained silent until the two had finally arrived on the side of the field. Kris suddenly grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her out from the crowd while putting his index finger in front of his lips signaling her to stay quiet.
When they already jogged far enough from the crowd, she stopped and tried her best to free her hand from his tight grip but she gave up eventually because he's a lot more stronger than her, "Where are we going? Tao oppa and Hyerim unnie are going that way." She asked while pointing to the field that was nowhere in sight.
He just smiled in response and continued dragging her gently away, even further.
Minutes later, he slowed down his pace and then he covered Hyunjee's eyes with his hands, "I want to show you something." He quickly said before she could say a word.
"What is it...?" She asked as they both walk in a really slow pace.
"You'll see." He simply answered with a smile.
She was getting really nervous at that time, her heart couldn't stop from beating so fast, 'where is he taking me?' She wondered.
They finally stopped. Hyunjee could feel that they were all alone there. She felt no other presence except for Kris. She felt cool breezes were coming to where she stood. The place felt so nice and so peaceful. A place which was far away from the crowds, so quiet. She liked it although she hasn't seen it yet. Suddenly she felt Kris' head came closer to hers, "Now you may open your eyes." He whispered as he slowly uncovered her eyes.
She gasped a little while covering her lips with her hands. She was speechless. It was too beautiful for her to see. It's just like a hidden garden located at the back of the school. A beautiful park with so many flower petals decorating the sidewalks. She started to walk towards a beautiful fountain while playing with the water like a little child. And then she walked towards where the flowers grew. The colors are so beautiful.
"These are so beautiful!! Where exactly are we?" She asked turning her head to face him.
"Umm, a hidden park maybe?" He said with a chuckle, "You like it?" He asked as he slowly walked towards her.
"So much!! I love it!" She said happily. She had never seen a park as beautiful as this one. So quiet and nice.
"Can I pick one of these?" She said pointing to a beautiful pink rose that had her attention all along.
"You don't need to." He said as he revealed a pink rose that he had been hiding behind his back.
She turned around and gasped to see he was giving her a flower and he actually knew which color she wanted, "Is that..... For me?" She asked while looking straight at him.
He walked towards her even closer so she could reach the flower, "Who else?" He smirked.
"This is so beautiful, oppa! Thank you!" She said with a big smile plastered on her face.
"Anytime, Hyunjee." He said with a cute smile of his. 'This is the time!' He thought.
Time? Yes, he had planned all of these. He was going to confess to her. This is a perfect time to confess. In the middle of a beautiful park which only the two of them are there. 'Well? What are you waiting for, Kris?! Go ask her!' A voice from his mind said.
He then cleared his throat which got her attention from admiring the flower, "Can I ask you something?" He bravely asked.
"Sure!" She said with a nod, "what is it?" She continued.
"Attention for all new students, please go back to the field for the closing, immediately!” Before he could say a word, the bell rang and there was an announcement heard through the speakers.
"We should go back there, oppa!" She said in panic.
"B-but wait!" He grabbed her wrist which made her turned around.
"What is it? We gotta hurry!" She said.
'I don't think that asking her in this kind of time wouldn't be right. Maybe next time would be better. And besides I have a speech for the closing!' He thought.
"Umm nothing. Let’s go to the field!" He said as they both rushed to the field.
"I haven't seen her since I got here." Myungsoo worriedly said to Woori and Sungjong.
"Me neither." Woori said as Sungjong was only nodding with his worried look.
"Wait.. Is that Hyunjee? Hyunjee~!" Woori noticed her from afar then waved her over.
"Where were you?" Myungsoo asked with a frown.
"Somewhere." She simply answered then giggled, "You guys were late!" She said.
"Yep! We're sorry..." Sungjong apologized.
"It's alright, you guys!" She said smiling cutely.
'Hyunjee... Still as cute as you were years ago' Myungsoo thought as he flashed back her cute face when she was a child with a smile on his face.
After the closing which consisted of speeches from Kris and the head principal, Hyerim, Junghee and Jiyeon (her friends) went to a coffee shop which just blocks away from the school.
Hyerim's mind seemed to be somewhere else, she didn't look so happy at that moment, "Hey Hyerim, what's wrong?" Jiyeon opened the conversation.
She just shook her head in response.
"Is it about Kris again?" Junghee asked then sipped to a glass of hot cappuccino.
"You think?" She simply answered with another question, “Well duhh.. You guys know I like him so much.. But we even barely talk." She said pouting.
"Ummm, what about we help you to get closer to him?" Jiyeon offered.
"How?" Hyerim asked while playing with her coffee cup.
Then Jiyeon told her about her plan that also involved Junghee and herself.
"So? What do you think?" Jiyeon asked after telling her about the plan.
"Well, if I follow your plan Kris and I are going to be literally so close. Literally." She said.
"Umm maybe then he will realize how beautiful you are in a really close distance and then he likes you!" Junghee added.
'Interesting...' She said in her mind with an evil smirk.
