"Finally! one month to go before school end. I can't wait to see Yuna here!" Chaeryeong squealed.

"It's election month, gonna run for president position Chaer?" Lia asked before she took a big bite to her burger.

"Nope, I want to focus on Yuna" She said

Lia ignored Chaeryeong and turned her focus to the cat eyed girl who's silent for a minutes now.

She nudged Yeji gently and tilted her head to look at the girl. Yeji found it cute when she look at Lia.

"What makes you quiet?"

Yeji just shrugged "Nothing" she said

"She's thinking about Karina's demand to her about running for secretary position" Chaeryeong said speaking up for Yeji.

Yeji glared at her and Chaeryeong just laugh at her reaction. "Oh come on, if I were you I'll do it. She's so hot!" she blurted.

"Nah I don't think I will do it. I'm busy." Yeji said

"Ofcourse you'll be busy you are going have girlfriend anyway" Chaeryeong said and Yeji look at her but the younger mouthed to look at her back.

Yeji's eyes softened her gaze when it landed to a certain girl with a flower on her hand walking towards her.

"Ryujin.." she mumbled when the girl is finally standing in front of her.

Ryujin handed her the flower and Yeji accepts it with a shy smile and blush on her cheeks. Chaeryeong and Lia looked at the flowers then they look to each other not being able to hold their laugh.

The two look at their crazy friends who's laughing hysterically.

"What's funny?" Yeji asked

"Yeji-yah that flower is made of paper! What are you Ryujin? A grade 6?" Chaeryeong said and laugh again.

Lia stopped and motion Chaeryeong to stop too. "Why did you gave a paper flower to her Ryu?" Lia asked though she knew what will be Ryujin's answer.

Ryujin ignored her question and look directly in Yeji's eyes. She smiled "This flowers made of paper is the symbol of my love for you. I will love you until the last flower died." She said that made Yeji blushed more, she appreciates her effort.

"Thank you Ryujin" Yeji said

Chaeryeong and Lia laugh again "I didn't know that Ryujin can be so cheesy" Lia said between her laugh.

Yeji found herself in the library reading random books. She was so immersed at the book she's reading  that Yeji didn't noticed there's someone sit across her and just watching her read a book.

So when she looked up and meet the person, Yeji got startled and almost scream and thankfully the other person is fast enough to cover her mouth.

"Yah! You scared me to death" Yeji yelled in low tone enough to hear by the other girl.

She just chuckled "I'm sorry? Not my fault that you didn't notice me? I was here for about 15 minutes"

Yeji's mouth form in 'o' and look away.

"We didn't properly introduced to each other. Hi I'm Yoo Jimin, you can call me Karina or I prefered being called your baby" Karina said as she extend her arm for handshake and winked at her.

"I'm Hwang Yeji" she simply said and accept Karina's hand. Yeji thought that they will just shake each others hand but Karina brought her hands to her lips and kiss it without leaving gaze on her.

Yeji blushed at the gesture, she gently pulled her hand back and place it on her legs.

"So.... you are from Yoo Enterprises?" Yeji asked to ease the awkwardness she felt.

"Yeah, you know about companies huh? Successor of a company too?" Karina said returning back the question to her.

"Yeah" Yeji said as she flipped the book to another page.

"And you're from Hwang Corporation and Kim industries."

"Yep" she said without looking at the girl.

"You're pretty" Karina said

Yeji stopped from reading and turn her gaze at the girl.

"I like you Yeji.... I know it's too sudden but I really like you and I'm not forcing you to like me but let me show you how much you mean to me. I'm willing to wait to earn your love" Karina said holding Yeji's hand.

"Please, will you go out with me in a date?" Karina asked looking at her with pleading eyes.

Yeji can't say no to her especially when she knows that she likes her too but at the same time there's another girl she also like.

"Okay, just inform me when" Yeji said

She startled when Karina yelled "Yes!" "Thank you! Thank you! I promise you won't regret it" she said and it made both of them force to leave the library by the angry librarian.

They're both laughing when they got out of the library.

"You shouldn't yelled" Yeji said between her laugh.

Karina scratch her nape and look apologetic to Yeji "Sorry, I'm just happy. Actually this is the first time I confess and luckily I didn't got rejected." She sincerely said and it made Yeji's heart softened.

"Yeddeong!" Someone shouted from her back. Yeji turned around to look at the person.

"Ryujin? Why?"

"Mrs. Minatozaki told me to call you to her office. Now" Ryujin blankly said.

Yeji bid her goodbye Karina and Ryujin after she left. "You like her" the taller girl said while looking at Ryujin who's glaring at her.

"What if I am, what are you going to do about it?" Ryujin scoffed

"Well.... nothing. I already confess to her and she agreed to have date with me." Karina said

Ryujin closed her fist "No, I won't let that happen. She's going to be mine" She said

Karina shook her head in Ryujin's statement "Yeji is not a thing that you will just own Ms. Shin, she's more than that. If you still think that way then you have no rights to be with her. Grow up" Karina said as she turned her back on her.

"And this is not a competition where Yeji's heart is the prize. This is all about her happiness Ms. Shin" Karina said and started to walk away leaving Ryujin speechless.

She lost.

"She's Karina anyway... who's not going fall for her?"

"Definitely me"
