first love ⁀➷ y.jw ✓

It was the next day, Jungwon and I were walking to school together.

The girls decided that it would be best if I just went to school with Jungwon every morning since he was new and he needed to get the hang of it. They said it was okay; they'd just meet me at school every day and it was like normal.

At first, I objected, because I figured Jungwon would remember his way to school after a few days, but I eventually decided it was a good idea; just in case he forgot his way, or whatever.

Jungwon and I were currently on the bus to school, sitting next to each other.

"Thanks for yesterday. I had a lot of fun with you, Hyewon." He looks at me with a small, sleepy smile.

I can't help but smile back, at how cute he looked when he was sleepy.

"I had fun too. Let's do it more often, then." I say to him.

His eyes light up a little and he immediately nods his head.

"That would be very nice." He giggles shyly.

"Thanks for coming with me to school, too. You don't have to come with me every day." He adds.

"Don't worry. I want to." I assure him.

He smiles bigger.

"Okay, Hyewon. Thanks." He suddenly rests his head on mine.

My eyes widen, gulping. I begin to feel butterflies in my stomach once again, chills traveling through my body from feeling his touch.

"I'm so sleepy..." he yawns cutely.

I chuckle. "Did you sleep early last night?" I ask him.

"I slept around 11 or 12... I usually sleep around 9 or 10, I don't know why it was so hard for me to sleep. It's been a little harder for me to sleep nowadays. I don't know why." He makes a small pouting noise.

"You can always take sleeping gummy vitamins. Those would help you." I suggest.

"It's probably because I've been having a lot on my mind." He sighs.

"Is everything okay?" I frown a little.

"Yeah. Don't worry, Hyewon. My feelings are just all mixed up."

I furrow my eyebrows, trying not to feel too nosy or curious.

"I don't know. It's weird." He adds.

"I hope things get better for you then." I say to him.

"Thanks, Hyewon. You're really sweet." He lifts his head off of mine.

Looking down at me, he gives me another smile. I smile back, my heart fluttering once again.

We arrive at school and get off the bus, entering the school. Passing by other people and lockers, we finally get to our lockers. Minju, Yeji, Kyungmin, and Sungchul were by their lockers already.

They see us and smile, greeting us.

"Good morning, Hyewon!" Yeji exclaims to me.

I giggle. "Good morning." I respond.

"Morning, Hyewon." Minju gives me a quick hug then pulls away.

"Look! It's 2Won." Kyungmin smirks.

"2Won... what a corny name.." I scoff, opening my locker.

"Would you prefer HyeJung? Or, JungHye?" Sungchul asks.

Jungwon and I look at each other, disgusted, then we both shake our heads.
