STARRY NIGHT

2

"Let´s go, let´s go, let´s go!!!" My eardrums almost broke because of Jiwon´s loud ass voice. So annoying, really.

"If you weren´t my bestfriend, I would´ve disowned you already, you know?" I said, as a matter of fact. She then looked at me in disbelief, but changed into happiness. All of a sudden, she bearhugged me.

"Awe!!! You won´t do that because you love me, Jissen," she confidently stated. I just frowned. Then I heard Seoyeon clear her throat.

"Excuse me, are you guys done? We´re gonna be late for school," she said, but her expression showed something and I know what it is. I smirked. Immediately, after noticing her lover´s dilemma, Jiwon detached herself from me and ran to panda-hug the panda.

"Are you jealous? Ayyieee!" Jiwon teased, while poking Seoyeon´s cheek.

"I am not. Why  would I be jealous? Plus, I know you´re mine only, hmp," she confidently answered. I snorted.

"Yaaaah! Quit being all mushy in front of me. Let´s just go," I said and walked to the bus that´s waiting for us. I heard the two of them laugh and went to catch up with me.

"Awe, Jissen. Just go get yourself a lover too. You´ve tons lining up for you. So that you wont be bitter towards us," Seoyeon stated. I once again scoffed.

"Not interested. They all look like they just want to date me because I´m quite popular." Jiwon then gasped dramatically and pointed at me. I gave her a bored look. Again, she´s knitting something in her mind.

"Or maybe, you´re into the person who gave you the mittens last night. Am I correct?" This made my eyes widen. I suddenly felt my face heating up, which didnt go unnoticed by the annoying lovebirds. "See?! Its true then!" she added. I groaned and quickly went inside the bus. I sat at the last row near the window.

"If you let us, we´ll help you find her. Tell us some details," Jiwon wasnt letting me breathe for a sec. She´ll continue to annoy me until I give up. She was now sitting beside me while Seoyeon on her other side.

"I´ll tell you, but I swear, Park Jiwon, dont even dare to do something stupid. I will no doubt disown you, like for real." So on our way to school, I told her everything. The simpliest details even. Good thing she wasnt being hyper while I told her. That wouldve caused a chaotic scenario in the bus.

"So in short--" she didnt finish her sentence when she realized the adjective she used. Me and Seoyeon couldnt help but snicker. "Yah! Dont laugh, the three of us are of the same height," she tried to imply the fact in our faces. That caused us to stay quiet.

"As I was saying, this girl you were talking about is as tall as Chaeyoung. Has a puppy-like face. And the friend she mentioned was named Hanyang, is that it?" I nodded timidly.

"Alright, we´ll find her. I have a hunch shes attending the same school as ours too." How could she be confident like that?

"Yah. Dont go overboard, okay? Just ask those people we know and dont tell them that I am the one looking for her. Got it?" I wanted to be sure she wont bother other people just to find Gaejookie.

"Of course, dont you trust m----"

"I dont" I cut her off.

"Yah! Anyway, Deoyeonie~ You heard Jissen´s description, right? If there´s someone you know who might happen to fit the descriptions then give us a heads up. Kay?" she did an aegyo. I pretended to throw up causing her to hit me on the shoulders. Seoyeon laughed and poked her lover´s dimple in return.

"Yes, babe. I´ll ask Chaeyoung and Nagyung later. Maybe Jiheon too if I see her," she replied.

With that, Seoyeon went to her class and we on ours.

Class was so boring that I wanted to sleep. But, I remembered Gaejookie´s words last night so I endured the boredom. It went on for the next 2 hours then lunch time came.

"Okay, class. Thats it for today. You may now take your lunch," Mr. Kim dismissed us. A lot of the students rejoiced and stormed out of the classroom.

"Ahh!! I´m hungryyyy!!! Jissen, lets go." Jiwon never fails to make my eardrums break. I packed my things first then exited the room.

"Oh. Seoyeon is already at the cafeteria and guess what? She said shes got information about that puppy-faced girl of yours," she squeels. I shushed her to cover up the redness of my face. My heart was beating faster than usual. Am I finally going to meet her again?

I cleared my throat before speaking. "Fyi, Megan, she is not my puppy-faced girl. I just wanted to be friends with her." A part of it, I guess. Char.

Of course, this annoying girl beside me, who happened to be my bestfriend, who knows me really well gave me a teasing look. As if saying 'who are you kidding with?´

"O-kay. If being friends with her is all you want then fine. But I doubt that!" She instantly ran towards the cafeteria while laughing off, leaving me behind like that. Alright, calm down Jisun.

"So, here´s the catch. You guys know Hayoung-unnie, right?" Seoyeon started off. We are now seated at the cafeteria, with our lunches in front of us. We nodded to her question. "Well, the thing is she´s the Hanyang you were talking about. I heard Saerom-unnie call her that earlier at the music class."

"How sure are you that she´s Hanyang?" I questioned.

"Because she is the only person in the school who owns that nickname. I also found out that her bestfriends are the only ones who call her that, one is Saerom-unnie and the other one may be the puppy-faced girl." It still didn't convince me.

"Looks like you have to try harder, Deoyeonie~ Jissen is not buying it," Jiwon said as she dug into her food.

"Well, I´m not yet done. I talked to Jiheon earlier. She said she knows someone with a puppy-like face. But I forgot to ask the name," Seoyeon added.

"Thats good enough. Thanks for the update, Seoyeon-ah."

"Sure thing. I wouldn't want to see you be single forever, y´know?" she cheekily replied. I threw a piece of lettuce at her for annoying me. Aigoo.

It was our last subject of the day and I cant wait to get home. I wasn't that tired anyway but I just wanted to go home early and maybe go out for a walk later on. And maybe, just maybe, I will get to see her again.
I suddenly felt the need to use the bathroom.

"Excuse me, 선생님 (teacher)? Can I go to the bathroom?" I raised my hand. He then nodded and so I stood up.

"Yah, want me to accompany you?" Jiwon asked as I was about to exit. I shook my head and said, "Its fine. I´ll be back in a minute." So she just went back to writing.

As I entered the bathroom, I bumped into Hayoung-unnie.

"Oh my gosh, I´m sorry, unnie. I wasn't looking," I apologized and bowed at her.

"It´s alright, Jisun. I was in a hurry too that I didn't notice you entering."

"Why are you in such a hurry anyway, unnie? If you dont mind me asking,"

"You see, my bestfriend is about to perform in her recital today at the gym. She´ll be playing the piano and I must be there to cheer her up," she explained.

"Oh? You mean Saerom-unnie?" She shook her head and laughed softly.

"I think its a bit impossible for Saerom to play the piano. Nope, its not her. Its my bestfriend, Gyuri." The name suddenly rang in my head. I´ve heard that name before. I just couldn't pinpoint where I heard it.

"Are you alright, Jisun?" Hayoung-unnie spoke. I shook my head and turned to her again. I smiled at her.

"Yes, unnie. I´m okay."

"Okay then. I´ll get going now, see you later, Jisun," then unnie went out. I was still on my thoughts.
Aigoo, I think you should stop thinking about it first.
