the breeze blows past my face as i lay on the ground, it's quite stiff and my back hurts after laying for awhile but the sky is pretty and i enjoy watching the clouds pass by. "moonie!" chan yells to me. i raise my head to look at him. all of my friends are looking my way. "what?" i fix my glasses as i stare at them. "we're playing tag! come join!" jeongin says and i furrow my eyebrows at him.
"aren't you guys, i don't know, a little too old to be playing tag?"
"no one is ever too old to play tag moonie, what kind of world do you live in?" changbin yells. "the kind where i don't wanna play tag" i rest my head back on the ground watching as another cloud started to float past.
i can hear them talking about how lame i am for not wanting to join them but i tune their voices out. a few minutes go by before i hear a single mumble from them again. "moonie!" chan yells to me again. i sit up fully. "guys please! i don't wanna play tag!" i yell back to them, an annoyed tone lace through my voice. all the boys giggle slightly. "we're going to eat" chan laughs and i feel bad for how annoyed i had gotten.
"oh!," i yell, "okay!" i push myself up off the ground and dust myself off, removing the small pieces of grass that had come up with me. i catch up to the boys and we make our way to this cute little restaurant that was placed in a spot where i would have never recognized it if chan didn't point it out. he tells me he had went here on dates with some girl when he was younger and even though it never worked out, the food was immaculate every time he came.
we sit down in the small restaurant quickly get our our food and drinks and eat away. "okay i have to ask a question and i know it may sound really stupid but you guys need to help me" hyunjin says from beside me while all of us stuff our faces. "we don't have to do anything" minho says following his words with a big bite of food.
"please guys! i need your help!"
"what's going on?" chan asks hyunjin, completely ignoring what minho had said. "ive started getting these letters in my locker, like yesterday was the second time in five days" he says and i can feel my face go white. i shift in my seat and stuff my face with some of the food.
"ooohhhh! hyunjin has a secret admirer!," jisung sing songs before continuing, "its probably ara." jeongin and felix choke on their food. "ara?" jeongin asks. "ara as in ara gwan?" felix asks. jisung nods at their question. "like popular long black hair ara?" chan asks and jisung nods. "wait didn't she bully you in the third grade?" changbin asks hyunjin.
