Shua: mother, please can you give me some money?
Mother: sure honey, for what though? You never ask for money
Shua: I want to buy a gift for my friend
Mother: okay

Mother gave me some money, I'll buy a gift for y/n today and am going to propose to her tomorrow. Ahhhhh I'm feeling so excited

Next Day

Our school is finally over and I'm here waiting for Y/n to come out of the main building. And at last, i saw her and I'm glad she was not with her friends

Shua: hey y/n.. umm.. can we talk?
Y/n: yes

She looked at me uninterested which made me anxious but i am going to do it today. It's either today or never

I removed the beautifully decorated box and gave it to her. She looked curious and opened it soon, didn't give me a chance to even speak

After opening, she was stunned to see a small silver necklace

Y/n: it's not my birthday
Shua: i- i know it's just that...

I took a big breath and looked at her with confidence

Shua: I like you Kim Y/n, I've always had feelings for you ever since i started coming to this school. You are beautiful and elegant and always make me feel uneasy around you, not in a negative way. I know that you don't know me well but please give me a chance

She was just staring at me, i somehow felt scared cause mostly the whole school was surrounding us while taking videos and photos cause it's about y/n

Y/n: what's your name?
Shua: Jisoo.. Hong Jisoo
Y/n: I'm sorry, i don't date girls. I'm straight

This somehow broke my heart, many people started laughing

Y/n: if you were handsome, then i would've accepted your gift and you but look at you bro

She said as she threw the necklace box on me

Y/n: you're all brown, tan, thin like a rod and so nerdy type.. and look at your clothes, so cheap, i never would like to date a poor fella like you. Dirtbag. who will even like you.

She looked at me disgusted. This is the worst day of my life. Everyone was recording us. I felt like crying but i held it in, everything inside me broke. It just did

I took the box and ran out of there. I reached home but went to the garden instead and sat on the chair. My mother must be home and i don't want to worry her. I kept the box inside my bag, tears kept falling and i didn't try to stop them anymore. I kept crying and crying. When i finally got hold of myself, i stroked my face with the handkerchief and went inside

Mother: welcome home sweetie

I just smiled at her

Mother: did you give your friend the present?
Shua: no.. actually she didn't come today
Mother: i see, you look tired, go and take a warm bath

I went upstairs to my room and went to bath as my mother said. Don't cry Jisoo don't cry
