(Un)requited Love

19.

SANA'S POV

Two weeks since the first day of school, and it's already the regular days of classes. Our first week was chaos, from the orientation day, acquaintance day, and the bunch of introductions we have for our subject professors. The acquaintance day was stressful as we were bombarded with students who would line up to the clubs we preferred. Or probably they thought Dahyun was the one signing up when in fact it was us and she just decided to tag along. Other clubs even decided to close the recruitment because they'd reached the maximum number of members and some students were looking defeated because of that.

Now that it was the beginning of lectures, I can't help but worry if I would make it. Let alone that I also have another responsibility of being the Vice President of our class. However, Dahyun seems too relaxed and unwavering in the things she has to manage. She's our class President, a famous pianist that performs almost thrice a week, now she even joined a club, and also needs to have acceptable grades to prevent her scholarship from being terminated. If I were in her shoes, I could've given up on everything.

She has a lot of things on her shoulder, so the least I could do was not to add to the weight on her back. But that doesn't seem to work for me because of those three who keep on watching my back.

"Unnie, are you alright?" I heard Dahyun ask which cut me from my thoughts. Right, we were seated in the canteen of our department and I can't help but space out because of some girls looking at us.

"You're not eating." she added as she looked at my hand who was currently playing with my food.

"Oh yeah, sorry." I uttered but before I could even scoop a serving, she already took my spoon and feed me.

"We don't have enough time, now eat." She said as she smiled at me.

"I can do it." I said, trying to lower my voice since everyone around our table is already looking. Some are even whispering things I can't hear.

"You're too slow. I'm done eating anyway." she said and grinned before wiping the stain on the corner of my lips. I happened to be looking directly at her so I can't help but blush at the sudden stunt. She laughed as she saw me blushing so I immediately pinched her hand slightly.

"I knew it, you're teasing me again." I whined enough for her to hear. It's because ever since I confessed that I liked her, a day won't pass without her doing things that would make me blush and she would laugh at it. Now I'm really regretting doing that especially because she would do it even in public.

"Now, give it to me. I'll eat on my own." I said trying to take my spoon from her, but she just waved it away from me.

"I'll do it." she insisted trying to hold her laugh. I then rolled my eyes at her and tried to snatch it but failed. I frowned as I keep on reaching for it.

"Dahyun, give it now. Everyone is looking." I said, she then looked at the students around us and frowned.

"So what? It's not like I care about them." she let out.  I sighed in disbelief.

"But I do, I don't want them gossiping that I'm asking for you to do that." I said as I decided to stand up and probably just get a new pair of spoons and a fork on the counter. She laughed out loud making people look at our table intently.

"What do you mean?" she said, making the others look at us intently. Wondering what drama are we trying to play.

Arghh, Kim Dahyun. Can't she understand that I hate being the center of attention?
