Worth It 𖧵 [TXT Yeonjun]

Chapter 50: Magnet

I still remember it clearly.

It was a Friday.

Mere hours before our weekend began.

So far everything was going well, Yeonjun and I were Emmy nominee worthy actors, and no one suspected a thing.

"What are you doing later today?" Donghyun asked as we sat down at our lunch table.

Homework? No, I finished it all.

"Nothing. Why?" I asked.

"I was hoping you'd go to this restaurant with me, you know, like a date" Donghyun cheekily smiled.

I slowly took a sip of my milk as I processed what he said.

That's... so cute.

I chuckled and nodded.

"That sounds nice" I smiled back.

Things with Donghyun seemed so much better now, honestly.

Putting a label on it still felt weird, considering the fact that not much had changed from when we were just friends.

But pushing that aside- I was finally starting to feel like we were an actual couple.

It had been nearly a week since I hung out with Donghyun outside of school, so I started to really look forward to our date plans.

The last period bell rang, and I sprinted to my locker.

Donghyun must be waiting outside already.

I raced down the stairs to the front entrance.

And I stood there.

I turned my head excitedly, hoping to meet eyes with Donghyun at any second.

And I stood there.

I started to tap my foot to help pass time.

And I stood there.

I looked around hoping to catch a glimpse of him. I was growing confused... and desperate.

And I stood there.

While the few remaining students leaving passed by me.

And I stood there.

Until I was the last student outside.

My hands trembled.

Not just because I was mad, but because I was disappointed, where are you?

I looked down at my phone as it began to ring.

It was Donghyun!

I quickly picked up-

He must have stayed back a bit for student council, it's fine.

"Hey, Hana. I can't make it today, sorry. But I was-"

I lowered my phone from my ear,

And hung up on him.

A heavy pit grew in my gut.

I was so genuinely disappointed and upset.

My sore shoulders sulked as I let my backpack's weight cave.

Why'd you make plans with me then ?

I rapidly brushed away my anger and took a second to breathe in.

Something must've come up.
