Snatch My Ex's Crush

19

"Explain" Chaeryeong said plainly while sipping her drinks. We're inside a coffee shop.

I sighed. She looks intimidating but I'm not intimidated.

"Well, the truth is your guts were right. My friends played a stupid card game and I got the dare which is to make revenge to my ex." She's listening to me silently.

" My plan was to steal the girl whom Soobin is so whipped for. He happened to be closer to Yeji and I know by the way he's looking at her, he's really into her." If glares could kill, I'd be lying lifeless.

"Cut the crap, she has nothing to do with this!

"Wait I'm not finished yet!" I said meeting her glares.

"All those things I did for her because of the dare but.. as time goes by..I find myself comfortable being with her. I find myself doing those things not because of the dare, but because I like it being with her" I explained looking directly to her eyes and I witnessed her aura changed.

"I even forgot that I'm doing that freaking dare when I'm with her. Soobin would not even notice that I'm doing those things to the girl he's interested with" I chuckled softly, thinking of how can I call that revenge when the one whom I want to get revenge to was not even aware.

"You like her" It was not a question. More like a statement. And it made me more confused. Am I liking her already? Or it was just her presence that I want?

"Chaeryeong-ah, I'm confused. It's too early to say that. I think.. I think I like her but I don't know" I said

"You'll figure this out. But please if ever you find out that you're really liking her, don't you ever play with her heart. I'm telling you, Shin Ryujin, I'm gonna slash your fucking throat" She said then smiled at me.

Semifinals of the basketball tournament. Four teams were left to play to reach the finals which will be happening next week. The SU's Unicorns is leading the gameplay followed by Mighty Fox, our school's team. 

MF is playing now with the other team. I finished reporting and find where Yuqi unnie was seated on the bleachers. I found her flirting with her girlfriend, so adorable.

"Oh hi Yeji!" Miyeon unnie waved at me soon as she noticed me  approaching. I waved back

"Well, this is the last game for this day, right? We're already finished reporting. Maybe we can go home now" Yuqi unnie asked and I nodded

We already know MF will win this last quarter of the game. Points of the other team was too far behind.

"Yeji-ssi, we'll go first if it's fine with you? Don't worry, Soobin's there he can walk you home, oh he's here already"

"Don't mind me unnie" I smiled

Yuqi and Miyeon congratulated Soobin for winning in today's game.

"Bye Yeji, Soobin" Miyeon and Yuqi bid their goodbyes

"Take care!" I shouted and they just waved.

"Wait for me here, noona. I'll just get changed" Soobin smiled showing his dimple.

"I'll buy you a drinking water first, so by the time I came back, we'll get ready" I smiled to him.

"Okay. Thank you noona" I smiled and walk outside the school gym to buy him some water.

"You're going home already?" I put my right hand on top of my chest. Ryujin just came out of nowhere. I didn't notice her because I'm busy looking for my wallet inside my backpack.

"Yah! You almost gave me a heart attack. No, I'm not going home yet. I'm buying drinks for Soobin" I said. She just nodded without saying a word.

"I'm going to your apartment because we'll continue building that miniature model. Thought you're going home alone, unfortunately, you're with him" She said pressing her lips together.

"Let's go together then" I said and she stopped walking.

"Are you serious?' She asked

"Yup, let me message Soobin first"

I saw her smiled widely.

I messaged Soobin telling him that there's an emergency so I'll be heading first. It's fine, he replied.

We're already walking on our way home.

"You did not bring your motorbike?"
I asked after we pass the school gate

"Why? did you miss riding to my bike? You missed my bike, but not me?" Ryujin pouted.

"No. It's not like that, dummy" I flicked her forehead.

"Ouch!" She really looked hurt and it made me panicked, so I grabbed her shoulders and faced her to me.

"I'm sorry" Blowing and caressing her forehead worriedly.

"Not enough, you should kiss it" She said still sounding hurt.

"Do you want another smack?" I asked.

"Yeah, Smack my ass like a~~~"

"Oh Shut up!" I cut her off which made her laugh and I smiled with her.

We entered the 7-eleven store. We decided to buy snacks first. We walked on a separate shelf. When I finished picking up my choice, I then started looking for her.

I find her reaching for that one chips on a higher shelf. What a shorty human being. I walked closer to her side, I also tried reaching for that chips but  instead of grabbing the chips, it was her hand that I accidentally touched.

She turned her face to my side and I happened to gaze at her also. Our face was just inches away now.  Things became more awkward. I cleared my throat and quickly grabbed that chips and gave it to her.

Cliche as it may sound, but this is giving me weird feelings. This is like scenes in romance shows that I've watched and read. The only difference was we're both girls.

"Thank you. Do you want some Ice cream?" She asked me.

"Yes please" I smiled.  I offered paying for my items but she already paid for all the items, including mine. She handed me one of the paperbags and we went outside

Sun had already set. Parts of the sky was purple. This is one of my favorite moments while walking. And I prefer this rather than riding with her on that bike.
We just talked about anything under the sky. She would throw some corny  jokes but I'll end up laughing on it.

This got me thinking on how we became this close. She was once a stranger to me. I still remember how furious she was the first time I meet her.

But today is different yet especial for some reason, she's the one who's making me laugh.
