Bus Stop

Chapter Six

AFTER CLASS

South Korea - Somewhere in Seoul
Tuesday Morning - 6 : 30am

Maya's POV :

It's the next morning.

The only thing I'm looking forward for today is seeing him.

It totally slipped my mind yesterday, it was our first time 'speaking' and all I could think of was that pabo(stupid) Hyunjin. I wish he could just forget about me, his making my life more difficult than it is. I'm barely passing my classes, and Mr. Lee seems disappointed about that.

At least he makes me abit happy. I might not know his name, but having a crush I can admire from a distance is the best thing that happened to me in a long time. I know nothing is gonna happen between us, and he doesn't feel the same, obviously.

But I want to at least talk to him more and possibly become his friend, or even just know his name at least.

Sigh.

I scan the area. His a bit late today.

He usually comes around this time I wonder where he is-

"oh Hi Ms leaf" flinching abit, I turn to my side and there he is. "M-ms leaf?" I asked, he chuckles abit, taking his seat on the bench. "yeah, because the first time we met, I saw a leaf on your head-"

"but I'm quite aware of your name, Maya" he finishes. I blush a bit. "oh right" I look around awkwardly.

Wow, thats the mos his spoken to me. He has such a nice voice. I feel like I'm falling inlove all over again.

"You go to Seoul Gangi High school?" he asks. Quickly nodding, I scan his blazer. "And you go to Hanhao High, Mm fancy" I tease. He giggles. Cute.

"Yes, it's not that fancy though, I'd rather go to your school"

Tilting my head abit I ask "wae? (why?)"

He looks at me "Because you're there" he winks. Ohhh so his that kind of guy. I giggle and playfully hit his shoulder "that shouldn't be a reason"

This is our second time speaking yet I feel so comfortable around him, like I could tell him anything.

"Maya?"

I hear his voice, facing him I give a small hum for him to continue. I notice how he hesitates but he eventually starts speaking.

"I didn't wanna mention it actually but- ok it might sound abit weird but, um, this isn't the first time I've noticed you here"

I raise my brow abit, what does he mean?

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, I've seen you many times here before, and actually I wanted to speak to you because we looked around the same age, but I guess, I was abit nervous" he continued.

Is he serious? Nervous? And he actually noticed me before? Excitement grows through me just thinking that I wasn't the only one who was nervous to start a conversation. Why was he nervous though? Is he like me that has a hard time socializing?

"Why were you nervous?" I finally decided to ask. He smiles abit and leans back "I mean who wouldn't be nervous to approach a pretty girl"

I felt the heat collecting in my cheeks.

"P-pretty? You think I'm pretty?" I blabber. He nods then sits up again. "Not only that, from what I know so far, and from how we spoke, I can tell you're a very nice girl Maya"

This has to be a dream.

"- and I would like to get to know you more, and possibly become friends"

I couldn't speak, I didn't know to respond. It's been so long since my body has reacted this way, I'm probably not use to this emotion. It felt like a million butterflies are flying loose in the pit of my stomach, I shouldn't feel this way though, he probably doesn't feel the same way I feel, I should stop giving my hopes up.

"That's why I wanted to ask-" he starts. I focus on him waiting for his next sentence. "-If I could possibly get your number, and we could hang out sometime?" he says, I couldn't form words.

I can't believe that this is happening, he wants my number!? He notices my silence, and rubs his neck and frowns abit "I'm sorry, I'm probably being so creepy right now, you don't have to give it-"

No no I can't miss this opportunity.

"No! I would love to be friends--sorry I just didn't know how to react-" I start rambling. He smiles at my reaction. "so is that a yes for your number?"

I nod quickly and fish out my phone. "Let's exchange Line IDs" I suggest, he nods and takes our his phone as well.

(Line is a contacting app, it's used mostly in korea, and places like Thailand, Japan ect. It's similar to Whatsapp)

We scan each other's ID's and I save his number. After some time we continued to talk abit until his bus pulled up. "Ah, this is my bus, anyway I'll text you after school mm?" he says.

I nod, and he makes his way on the bus. Then I realize "Wait!"

He stops. "yes?"

He waits for curious eyes. I cough abit. "I didn't get you're name" I say as I fidget with my fingers. He chuckles.

He steps on the bus and right before the door closes he says

"it's Yoo Hwe-Seung"
