Just Friends!

Hopeless

Hi, It's Hitomi, again, and this idiot looking at a certain fairy-like upperclassman is Kim Minjoo.

She's my bestfriend.

My idiot of a bestfriend.

Also, she's hopelessly in love with Kim Chaewon, the pretty fairy-like upperclassman.

She has been trying to woo Chaewon sunbaenim into dating her but I don't know what's wrong with her approaches. I mean, I get that Minjoo's idiocy is mildly amusing, but that's her charm. i g u e s s. As her bestfriend, I feel sad whenever Chaewon sunbaenim gives Minjoo cold shoulders.

Minjoo dates a lot of girls and guys and while they don't last more than a month (the thing going on with upperclassman Kriesha sunbaenim is the longest: 1 month 2 days 3 hours), she should have no problem with Chaewon sunbaenim!

I watch passively as Minjoo gathers courage and greets this imposing upperclassman.

A cold look and Minjoo immediately makes a u-turn to me and sobs to my shoulders.

Dang, Kim Chaewon-ssi

-

After yet another failed attempt of wooing, it makes me wonder if Chaewon sunbaenim is as straight as a board like the rumor says she is?

It's impossible, I tell you. Impossible!

How do I know that?

Uhm well-

"Hitomi!"

Speaking of the devil, Chaewon sunbaenim approaches me hastily. She looks so hurried yet I can't help but to point out that: "Why are you wearing two right shoes?"

She flushes. She looks even more restless. "D-Do you want to go to the mall to buy shoes?"

...

...

...

"What."

Long story short, I recently discovered that Chaewon sunbaenim somehow developed a crush on me. That's almost impossible to happen but ye it happened either way.

"I-I mean!" She puffs out her cheeks. She looks adorable. "There's a sale for shoes and I know your running shoes are torn! S-So, do you want to go with me tomorrow?"

How did she—oh right, I made a broadcast about my shoes.

Well, just yesterday, my running shoes were illegally torn to shreds and were sadistically put up on the school gates for everyone to see. Nako thinks it was Minjoo's fanatics' doings, and that theory is plausible.

But it's not like I only have a pair of shoes.

..

..

..

Alright yes I only have one pair of running shoes.

Damn, I really should start seducing Yuri again.

"Alright, but let me ask Minjoo too. She's been wanting to buy shoes."

She groans. "Can't we exclude Minjoo just this once?"

I cock an eyebrow up. "No." I answer quickly, because rule 2: "never exclude each other out on shopping no matter what event you are doing!" and so far Minjoo has never excluded me so...

I hastily run inside my class, ignoring Chaewon sunbaenim's desperate shouting of my name.

I'm wondering if I made the right choice.

Because shoes.

I need shoes.

But, again, I can seduce Yuri into buying me a pair. The most she will do is probably kissing my cheeks so yeet.
