i stood there blankly as i watch ryujin, yuna and chaeryoung. my heart can't stop pacing earlier when i realized i grab the wrong ziplock and now seeing what happened... i don't know if i should feel relief or nah. i kinda feel sad that it got eaten and thrown in the trash can, but at ease too.

the three girls walked pass me as they chat and enjoy the cookies gyuri baked. i put my hand over my chest and closed my eyes as i let out a deep breath. i really was nervous earlier. gyuri and i planned this last friday and i can't believe we failed just like that.

flashback

i am on my way home alone when a middle school girl beamed and waved at me from the gate. huh? who is that? i looked behind me because maybe the little girl's waving at someone else but when i turned back towards the girl she's already standing in front of me, panting from running.

" oppa! it's nice to see you again! " she beamed.

" h-huh? hi? " unsure of what is happening, i just decided to greet her.

" you can't remember me? " she asked then tilted her head slightly to the side. " i'm the girl you saved! with the diary! remember? " she asked me with hopeful eyes.

uhm diary? i glanced away from her and tried to think where i met her. i saved someone? when was that. i met her hopeful eyes once again and there i finally remembered. that time! i remember.

" oh! yes yes! i remember now! " i said and smiled at her now. i checked her nametag, ahn gyuri, alright i won't forget that this time.

" so how are you? are those boys messing with you again? " i asked her as we both walked out of the school grounds.

she shaked her head and smiled ahead of her. " not anymore! "

" that's good to hear " i smiled at her. gyuri grab onto the straps of her bag.

" so where is ryujin eonni? " she asked me. hearing ryujin's name made my expression change. she hates me so much, she basically wants me dead. ugh, this is all my fault.

" wait i got that right, right? that's her name, right? " gyuri asked. i snapped out of my thoughts and turned to the girl beside me.

" oh uh, yeah that's her name " i said and then scratched the side of my neck, letting out out a sigh.

" hmm? did you guys fight? " the little girl asked and stopped walking. i stopped walking too and my eyes widen at her sudden remark.

" how d- is it that obvious? " i asked and let out a sigh, smiling shyly. gyuri gasped and covered her mouth with both her hands.

" no! i totally just made that up! why did you guys fight? " she asked me with wide eyes as well.

" huh? i- uhm uh " i stuttered out. did she really not notice it? why do i feel like she smoothly brought the topic to here? is she some smooth talker?

" well, i kinda hurt her, not physically, but i hurt her really bad " i said while looking down.

" well did you already apologize? " gyuri asked me.

" a lot of times already but it's not enough. an apology is not enough, it's that bad " i looked at her and saw her caressing her chin while thinking deeply.
