Chapter 1: Before Us
April 2013
"Seo Nami, get up. You're going to be late –"your mother comes walking in the room, but instead of finding her daughter tangle up in the bed as usual. The room was oddly clean, with no trace of her daughter. Your mother then walks to the kitchen to see her daughter preparing something.
"Nami? What are you doing –"
"Mom, where did you put the yoghurt I bought yesterday?" her daughter asks franticly, trying to find the yoghurt she had bought the day before. She had bought them for a special someone.
"The yoghurt? I put –"
"Oh! I remember!" her daughter ran and opened the fridge to take the yoghurt. Her mother could only look at her daughter in confusion and then sigh, now getting on to what was happening.
"Again?" her mother asked as she crosses her arms. Her daughter gleams at her with a smile and nods her head.
"I better go now mom, he's going to be down there, and I don't want to miss him," before her mother could say goodbye, Her daughter goes out. Crashing into the door, leaving her umbrella.
"That kid –"her mother, tsk –"She knows how the weather is today...."
Running down the apartment's stairs, she quickly ran outside to get her bike while waiting for the person she had hoped to see every day. Then just like magic, after Nami turns her back, there stands the person she's been waiting for.
"Oh! Wonu, it's nice seeing you here," Nami turns her body cutely, hoping this time the person she's been hoping for the last 7 years.
Jeon Wonwoo, Nami's most extended crush/ neighbour. The Jeon's had been friends with Nami's Parents forever. Still, Nami and Wonwoo had never met until 7 years ago when she saw Wonwoo sitting alone in the kitchen when Nami's parents had visited.
Since then, Nami's interest in Wonwoo grew.
"Wonwoo! I brought food!" Nami walks to a quiet Wonwoo who was looking for her.
Jeon Wonwoo was quiet, not much of a talker. His blunt personality and cold eyes could make any guys back off, and girls fall for him. Nami is one of them, was quite the opposite of Wonwoo's personality. She was bubbly, outgoing. Of course, knowing Wonwoo is not an easy guy to impress, she was straightforward.
Wonwoo, who looks at the lunch box Nami had packed, only looks at her and sigh. He held out a blue lunchbox, much to her surprise, "Go eat it by yourself." He then proceeds to walk to the bike beside her, unlocking it and decided to cycle, leaving Nami behind.
"Wonu! Wait for me!" Nami smile's as she put the lunch back, cycling with Wonwoo.
It was always like this with Nami and Wonwoo. It was always Nami looking for Wonwoo, while Wonwoo could only look at her and sigh. They were friends for sure, but for Wonwoo, Nami was a friend, nothing more, nothing less, while for Nami, he was her everything.
Right now, fall is rolling in. Nami was smiling at the windows as she wipes away the dust. Well, it looks like she is.
"Nami, I think that spot is clean," Nami looks at her left to see a familiar face, Kwon Seoyeon, Nami's best friend.
"The windows aren't going to be cleaned by themselves, you know." Her best friend's laugh resonates through the busy classroom.
"Is he taking out the trash again?" Seoyeon asked.
Kwon Seoyeon was Nami's best friend, and she knew about her friend's crush. Unlike others, Seoyeon is 1% of the school population who doesn't think Jeon Wonwoo is handsome. Instead of being that bitchy friend like some stories, Seoyeon will do anything to help Nami with Wonwoo. She couldn't really see what Nami sees in Wonwoo, but she respects her friend's option.
"You know the reason why I'm watching now, Seo," Nami looks at the windows. Seoyeon swears she could see hearts shooting out from Nami's eyes, "He looks so handsome."
Seoyeon could only look at her friend and sigh, "I don't know what you see in him, Nami... He looks good, though, today."
Nami could only look at her friend and gleam brightly as she shakes her head a 'yes'.
"See! I know he was different from yesterday," Nami looks at the window," He's gotten more handsome than before."
Seoyeon could only look at her friend, trying not to hit her friend. Seo Nami is a hopeless case.
"Are you going to confess?" Seoyeon asked," the last time you did, you told me he was wearing earphones."
"I will... after this, I will wait – you know what – right now –"before Seoyeon could ask, her friend had run. Nami had thrown her rag to her friend in exchange for the broom Seoyeon was carrying.
She saw her best friend dash her way to her crush.
"I hope this time Wonwoo will accept."
Nami was silently watching Wonwoo, who was still raking the leaves. That's her cue. As Jeon Wonwoo walks back, she then stands in front of him, Wonwoo out of reflex, staggers back, making Nami lose a step.
Nami, who was about to fall, could only hope that she wouldn't embarrass herself and ruin the chance to confess again.
But before she could drop, her body was pulled back, and she was faced with the person she had dreamed everyone—Wonwoo, who looks at Nami, who looks up at him.
"Wonu, I like you for a long time. Please accept me."
Wonwoo looks at her, "but I don't like you."
Nami looks at him and then stands up from his hold as she staggers back, "It's okay! I'm not giving up. I promise to make you like me, I promise!"
"Seo Nami, are you going to be like this every time we meet?" he asked her, and she nods her head happily.
She wasn't wrong. Every day, it was always Jeon Wonwoo for her. She would always be beside him, and he would always look behind him to see her trailing behind.
From the constant lunch box, she would make he would always make sure she eats first, and then he would join in. He would always see her doing something for him, the little things he had seen her doing.
At first, it was annoying, but after a while, he had gotten used to it.
That is until he had to leave.
