- Flash back -
- 3rd year of highschool -
Hyemi quickened her strides to reach the boy who was waiting for her at the parking lot of their school yard. He was there for 15 minutes already. His chestnut hair was pushed back for countless times because his hand couldn't stay sane to his side.
The longer he waited, the more coward he felt.
"Hey... Giseok. Sorry for the wait," her sheepish voice came from behind him as she stopped her track, panting hard. "I had some errand to do for my homeroom teacher..." Her palms rested on her knees.
Giseok's heart jumped up and down as the girl struck into the main point quickly. "What do you want to tell me?" She reminded him of his text yesterday that he wanted to meet after school.
"Oh... I lik-... Just, I wanna walk you home. Yes, that's it!" The boy bit back his sentence halfway before the remaining part slipped out without preparation. "A girl shouldn't go alone in the dark."
She frowned, "but it's only half past five and the sun is still above us?"
Actually, Hyemi was awaiting something more than the frank answer she just heard.
"Aish this girl..." Again, the chestnut haired found himself being frustrated and flustered, "Let's just go." Without sparing her a look, he grabbed her wrist with desperate plea.
Well then, it might be my false hope after all.
A lump of disappointment roamed over Hyemi's throat which she swallowed forcefully. She heaved a small sigh, eyeing from Giseok's nape to her wrist in his hand as they slowly made their way out of the school ground.
Beyond her expectation, Giseok finally confessed his feeling when they reached near her doorstep.
"Jang Hyemi. I know I'm such a coward because of attaching this feeling to only myself ever since I helped you with your hurt ankle that day..." He started to babble, "Long story short, I like you. Would you let me court you?"
Hyemi looked at the boy whose sweats trailed down his temple due to the heat of the setting sun that showered his tall figure. His shadow covered hers, as if both their shadows became one since he was standing in front of her, face to face. The lover boy's gaze full of wobble which never failed to focus on her as he bit his lower lip, waiting for an answer.
Clearing her throat, she turned her face away, blushing hard. Because she didn't believe that she and her crush shared a mutual feeling towards each other. The whole scene undeniably wrecked her heart into a mess, a happy mess.
She stammered, "I-I would love to, Giseok. Please take care of me," then hid her face into her hands because of the overdose shyness.
"Please take care of your boyfriend as well, my girlfriend." The boy grinned ear to ear with joy in his heart as he took Hyemi's hands away from her face, holding them in his bigger hands tightly.
