There's a crack in everything, that's how light gets in
❅❅❅❅❅
The first rays of sunlight peeked inside my room through the window in the morning, making me cover my face as the sun rays directly landed on my face. I curl up as I hug my pillow tighter whilst hearing the birds chirping outside, making me stir in my sleep a bit.
My sleep broke and a whine escaped my lips when the alarm rang loudly over my head. I immediately shut it off to put away but I luckily happened to see the time the clock was showing and it was 7 am!!
I immediately sat up and threw my blanket away as I got up and immediately ran for a shower.
Today my result is coming and It made me anxious through the whole last night, resulting in me waking up late today. I wish I will have good marks so that I can get a scholarship.
I hurried as I wore my shoes and took a glance at the photo frame. today my result is coming, wish me luck juseyo. I said in my mind before I turned to leave, not forgetting to lock the door. I ran out of my rental place where I shifted just some few months ago. The landlady of the place is actually an old granny whom I grew to have a warm relationship with. She always recalled about her grandson memories who died at a young age, after seeing me. So she had now started treating me like her grandson.
She is around 80 and she owns a shop in the market area. She had to work there for the survival of her left life and sometimes it made the guilt eat me up since I was always late to pay my rent which somehow helped her financially a bit.
She was kind enough to just smile and tell me to pay her later, well knowing my condition but I felt undeserving for the kindness and that's why I started helping her in the shop while having another part-time job to manage my finances.
I ran through the market area and didn't forget to go to granny once before leaving. I. entered the shop and saw her attending a customer.
"halmoni~ today is the day, I am going to check my result...please wish me luck" I said and was immediately engulfed in her warm embrace, my lips curled up in a smile as I felt those soft pats on my back.
"I always want the best for my child. Hope your wish will be granted on scoring high" she broke the hug and ruffle my hair softly "you worked hard alot this time" she smile at me which I reciprocal
"I will get going now so that I could come back soon and help you with the shop" these were my last words to her before I started running again in the Busan streets which are way too much familiar to me since I grew up here but who knows if I will have to shift from here....I want a good university and it's in Seoul although for that I gotta get good grades first.
I stopped and panted as I saw the crowd created infront of the score board. My heartbeat increased as I take some shaky steps towards the crowd. I hope I will have good grades....I need them.
I was about to step ahead to check my grades but before I could do so, I was pulled away and got squeeze in a tight hug.
I smile as I knew who it was, even tho I was scared for the result just a sec ago, the hug made me feel calm and smile as I heard those squeals.
"GUESS WHO TOPPED THIS YEAR?!" He broke the hug and looked at me with those twinkling eyes and a bright smile before he showed me a paper
"IT'S OUR ONE AND ONLY GENIUS BOY, PARK JIMIN!!" He cheered and I gasp as I check the paper....and indeed I topped.
My eyes teared up from happy tears as I stare at the paper. My one and only friend wiped my tears.
"hey, sshh...why are you crying?" he pulled me in a hug again with a smile "you did great, your hardwork paid off. You know what? You should be a proud bitch instead of a cry baby" he said and I chuckled as I lightly punch his bicep before breaking the hug.
"I am proud and happy-" I didn't got to complete my sentence because
"and I wasn't crying, I felt overwhelmed so the tears were happy tears" he completed my sentence with a whine as he imitate me.
I punch his bicep again "shut up taesung-ah"
"and what if I won't?" he wiggle his eyebrows
"then I will complain about you to your eomma. You are getting spoiled too much! you even started saying those bad words now" I said and crossed my arms against my chest as I glare at him.
"cute." he said and pinched my nose, making me slap his hand away. He chuckled.
"dude check the second topper's name too" he said as he pointed out the paper again. I huff and started checking it.
"OMG TAESUNG!" I look at him with wide eyes as he smile sheepishly infront of me
"See, you once asked me to promise you that I will study hard so that we both can have good grades and have the same uni. I fullfilled my promise" he said and I smiled brightly
"I am so proud of you!" I beamed
"well well well, I hope you remember what my mom told you last time" he said as he pocketed his hands, trying to look cool.
"I do remember but you know I can't......I have to go and help-" he put his hand over my mouth
"you wanna upset my mom? She just wished to have a meal with you to celebrate our result since she knew that our hardwork is gonna pay off. She even prayed for you and me but seems like you wanna disappoint her by turning her treat down" taesung looked down as he said that and I looked down too. Ahjumma is actually nice and kind to me, I have met her several times and she has been the best.
I remove taesung's hand from my mouth "I am not turning her treat down but you know that I have work and I don't wanna bother her-
"Jimin-ah, you have never been a bother to me or my mom so, stop thinking like that. And talking about the work, c'mon take a off today." He said in a pleading voice and I sighed
"you know I can't take an off right now. I will get my pay soon and if I took an off then my pay will get decrease" I sighed sadly
"uh then what about I pick up after your work since dinner exist baby" he wink and I gasp
"YOU THINK I AM A BABY?! I AM 18 YEAR OLD YOU IDIOT" I said immediately in a full offended mode and I saw taesung facepalming himself. I just blink as I see his actions
'he is literally so innocent. Oh gosh help me' taesung thought but also smiled at the shorter's innocence.
"I actually think you are a baby, actually you are the 18 y/o baby." he said and ruffled my hair
"I am not a baby!" I huff and crossed my arms against my chest
"You are. You even have those cute chubby cheeks, small cute little fingers-
I turned my heel and started walking away
"yah wait! okay you are not a baby" he followed but I just walk straight, looking up at the clear sky as I hear taesung's continuously rambling about sorry and the dinner about which I had to agree on later.
