- Flashback -

- 3rd year of highschool -

"Kim Hongjoong! Give it back!"

Hyemi tried to tip toe, hand raised upward to reach for her English notebook which was in Hongjoong's hand.

"I'll give it back if you give me a kiss. Deal? " The said boy hid her notebook behind his back, looking down at the shorter girl. A cheeky smirk played on his lips.

The classroom was totally quiet as class dismissed 30 minutes already. Hongjoong and Hyemi were the only students left. The pair decided to do English homework together while waiting for Hongjoong's driver to pick him up.

However, she knew her friend like the back of her hand.

Let's tease him.

"Fine! It's just a kiss by the way."

Much to Hongjoong 's surprise, he had no idea where Hyemi got this bold attitude from as she slowly leaned into his face.

The distance between their faces kept drawing closer... closer...

This was too overwhelmed for Hongjoong to handle. The boy was afraid of his uncontrollabe heart beat could be heard by the girl in front of him.

His dream girl.

One... Two... Three...

"Alright. Here you are! Hurry up and teach me this part. "

The poor boy couldn't take it anymore and turned his head to the side not wanted to show his visible reddish face.

Hyemi smiled cheekily as she took her notebook back, not noticed her friend was flustering.

They sat back at their seats which were beside the window. Hongjoong turned his chair back to face her since her seat in class was behind his.

Some gusts of wind passed by the curtain hanging on the window. While she was teaching Hongjoong the part he asked, the white silk cloth was blown up touching the crown of Hyemi's head.

As the male averted his eyes from the notebook to his friend, the sight in front of him made his jaw drop and he just admired it silently.

She will be the prettiest bride ever.

"Unfair!" The brown haired boy groaned with a low tone.

"What did you say?" She asked. Her eyes landed on the one who sitting opposite to her while taking the curtain off her head.

"Nothing." Giving off a blunt response, he grabbed his book and put it between them to cover his face.

Hyemi checked her phone buzzing on the desk. A cheerful smile curved on her face, she poked Hongjoong's arm to garner his attention.

"You remember Giseok? The one in the same club as me?"

"The one who gave you piggy back ride when you hurt your ankle last time? What's with him?"

"Yeah, after that incident we have become friends. He's just texted me, asking to meet after school tomorrow because he wanna tell me something important."

"So?" Hongjoong asked her cockily, a hint of annoyance grew slowly in his voice.

He kinda knew where this conversation would go.

"I will go, Joong. To be honest, I have a crush on him." Hyemi admitted to her friend shyly which hit the boy real hard insides.

Well, someone had his heart shattered that day.
