He Started It by Hitting on Me

Valentine's Day

Sigh... Daddy's gone.
.
And just when my life was getting better... aish he just had to leave didn't he?
That stupid son of a job.
I really mean it when I say I hate you.
I HATE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
Ahem, I'm done now.
It's been weeks actually, since he left.
Mom hasn't talked to me at all, which is so weird.
Right now, I should've come to school with multiple bruises and a black eye.
But I didn't.
I came in perfectly.
That's really scary if you were in my position.
Anyway, ever since Dad left I have been really bummed out.
There was another thing I was pissed about- it's Valentine's Day.
Unfortunately for me, Valentine's Day is big in school.
You retards- it's not like it's a national holiday. We freaking still have to go to school.
That's the worst part for me.
Now I have to see pathetic losers with red hearts and chocolates running around with fat babies on the doors of classrooms.
Such a ed-up school I have.
Of course, Hea Won loves Valentine's Day.
And Key is in love with that "holiday" too.
At lunch, Key skipped his class just to stay with Hea Won and... do things.
I don't wanna say it.
Ugh.
The 3 weirdos- Onew, Minho and Taemin were all waving at me in between classes.
"Happy Valentine's Day!" Onew yelled at me.
"Happy Valentine's Day!" MInho said.
"Go on a date with me, Noona!" Taemin giggled.
I just looked at those 3, and I go,"You bunch of weirdos."
They were weird.
They told me if I had anyone in mind, then I should go to them now and say "I love you."
I told them I had no one in mind and they folded their arms and smiled.
"I think you doooo~" they sang.
...Weirdos.
After Key and Hea Won's lunch make-out session and the 3 weirdos short conversation, I successfully finished the day without anyone coming up to me and saying,"Where's your Valentine, Mi Young?"
If they had said that to me, I'd say,"I'm too cool to get a Valentine."
Oho. Yeah...
Personally, I don't care if I don't get one or if no one likes me. It's safer that way.
I don't wanna repeat what happened years ago...
What the hell am I saying?
Shut up, Mi Young. Just shut the fudge up.
I realize I say too many curses in my mind. Makes my head go dizzy.
So, I'll be using subsitutes... hopefully.
It's the last class of the day and I realize I gotta go pee.
Pee time.
Ah~ ok. Pee time is done. I'm walking back to the classroom.
I'm passing the janitor's closet room, and I hear a sound.
No moaning like usually- but grumbling.
A guy's grumble.
Being nosy, I open the door and find Jonghyun in a corner, his back facing me.
He was rocking back and forth, grumbling and shaking his head.
I raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing?" I asked.
He jumped up, turning to face me and widened his eyes.
"Oh. It's you," he said.
"Why no moaning today? Today would've been a perfect day for it," I say, emphasizing on 'perfect.'
He sighed sadly. "I've already done it with them. The last one left minutes ago," he answered.
Oh, why am I not surprised?
Jonghyun sighed. "So, wanna get out of this place?" he asked.
"Why?" I asked slowly.
He shrugged. "Not out of this school- I meant the room."
"Uhm. OK?"
He and I both got out of the room and we started a conversation immediately.
"So.. Valentine's Day. Got anything?" he smirked.
I shook my head.
He chuckled. "I'm not surprised," he muttered.
No one is.
"I know you got tons of valentines. Am I not right?" I asked.
He grinned. "Well, I am pretty y aren't I?"
"You're asking me that question?" I asked.
He rolled his eyes. "Well I know I am. I don't need your opinion," he scoffed.
"That's only because you know my opinions are too good for you to handle."
He sighed and shook his head. "You psycho," he said.
I already know what the hell I am, I don't need you or anyone else to tell me what I am.
They freaking tell me anyways.
Pricks.
Okay, I'm just gonna say this now- I can't keep on not saying curses. Damn, I cave in quickly.
Aish.
And then I realize something. Why am I walking with this bastard?
"Whoa. Wait, why do you want to walk with me, eh?" I asked.
He looked at me with sorta wide eyes.
"I just-"
"Is it another prank you're pulling?" I asked.
He shook his head. "No."
"Then what do you want?" I asked.
He sighed and scratched his head. "You . I'm your friend and I can't even talk to you?" he asked.
Well then.
I sighed. "We don't have anything in common, first of all."
"But that's only because we don't try to get to know each other," Jonghyun pointed out.
He's right.
"So you're saying we should get to know each other now?" I asked.
He shook his head. "Not now, but maybe later. If we're friends we should at least know each other's favorite color."
"Fine. Mine's blue."
"Really? Me too."
I raised my eyebrows. Okay...
"Ok. So, are we done? Because class is about to end, so-"
"Wait," he said.
What is it now???
I looked at him, arms folded and impatient.
He coughed into his fist and then looked down.
He put his hand into his back pocket and pulled out something.
He put it in between us.
It was a red heart card with a chocolate taped to it.
I widened my eyes at it.
WHAT THE FUC-
"It's a Valentine," he coughed.
I kept staring at it. I don't move at all.
That's... for me?!?!
He raised an eyebrow. "I made one for you because I, uhm, want us to be closer friends. I kinda wanted to give it in your locker but thought that was too cheesy and romantic. I don't even like you like that."
I open my mouth at it. Damn, I must be really surprised.
"I-I-I-I-" I stammered.
He laughed a little. "Is the little surprised?" he asked teasingly.
I tried to say something, but nothing could come out.
So I just nod.
He sighed. "I know you are. Cus this must be the first one you ever got, right?" he asked teasingly.
You know what my mouth says next? This mouth is cursed, I tell you.
"Thank you!" I blurted.
He widened his eyes and stepped back.
"What did you say-"
"Thank you! I like it!" I blurted.
ing, idiotic mouth.
I have to swear to never talk again.
I cover my mouth and felt my cheeks burning so I just grab the Valentine from his hand and run away.
I run away to a safe corner in the school.
I have my eyes widened and I feel my heart beating from the surprisement.
What the hell just happened?! I'm so ing stupid.
WHY DID I JUST SAY THAT?!
Aish, it's just so freaking humiliating.
I'm positive Jonghyun will do something because of what I said.
Maybe tell the girls I said something nice to him and then those tards will think I'm vulnerable or something.
Which I'm not.
But... he gave me a Valentine.
Obviously, I never got one.
This is my first one.
I look at it.
It's red, with gold and white on it.
To The , it says.
I open the card and it says, I'm not good at this, so... let's just get to know each other more, ok? We're friends anyway. Alright, since I suck at this let me just end it. Happy Valentine's Day. Love, Jonghyun.
He's right. He does suck at it.
But you know what really struck me in a surprsing way?
When he said Love, Jonghyun.
What a Valentine.
