real me

A hand brushed over my stomach while walking past me. I already knew who it was. I guess we're acting like nothing happened again. Would be typical for him at least.

If so, then this was his only way of greeting me? I trotted after him, but he out of sudden stopped his steps, making me bumb into his back. I held my forehead, cursing quietly. "You okay?" He questioned. "Why would you just stop walking?" I gave him a weird look. "Because I thought you were following me. Seems to be the case", "I just wanted to ask you something," I complained. "Okay, what is it?" He pulled me aside out of the people walking past us. "No if I think about it again, it's stupid," I mumbled but he immediately cut me off. "Just say it", "our sports teacher does this check up to see how good our stamina is in working out and stuff like this." He nodded throughout. "They told us to go to the gym once a week. The school pays in order to have a good health and sporty body system for the students." I scoffed midway at this. "Well...I'm not good at working out. You look..like you know how all those sport equipment works there...so I thought" he looked like he tried to hide a grin. "I look like I know, what a slick way of getting me train with you." I slightly widened my eyes. "It's not that way. You know if you do a wrong movement or don't know how to handle all those, you can badly hurt yourself." He nodded, humming. "That's true." I gave him a face saying, "soo?'
"Your eyes didn't lie. I do go to the gym quite often, because we have one at home. Forget what the school pays just come over to my house. You know..." he suddenly leaned downwards close to my ear. "It's more private." Before my heart could explode, I slapped his arm. "Are you crazy?!" I whisper yelled. "In order to concentrate better, or what else are you thinking? You see, that just proved how often you misunderstand me." I rolled my eyes. "Misunderstand you? As if, I clearly know which direction that offer was going. Thanks but I prefer...." Wait, I actually don't prefer the gym, not at all. "Okay, let's do it at your place," I shrugged as a dangerous joy filled his eyes. "To train," I added. "Sure thing."

I actually wanted to head off, but my feet didn't let me. I can't forget yesterday, he was so different compared to today. So caring and soft, so gentle and even hugged me at the end. Not like he doesn't do that now, but no flirting was involved and he really seemed like he was worrying about me, also he admitted himself that he doesn't want to leave me...I just can't forget that sentence. It felt honest and this time I'm sure it was. He slightly looked away, blinking a few times. "Come on, don't look at me like that," I frowned. "How?" I haven't even noticed myself. "Like I could give you the world," he responded, pushing me slightly forward. "Go to class. The bell rings soon."
Was he flustered or what? The way I looked at him?

"No, I think the task wants us to -" I stopped the sentence midway, having to sneeze. "This is the third time that happens to you, are you getting sick?" Akari tilted her head. I was trying to explain her the task we had to do in class. "I dunno," I frowned, touching my sore throat. "I mean, it did rain yesterday. Did you bring an umbrella with you on the way back?" I denied by shaking my head 'no'

"Wow Taerim, no wonder." She suddenly placed her hand on my forehead as I flinched away. "It's so cold, Akari." I took it in between mine. "Ah, I was just washing it with cold water on the toilet," she explained chuckling weirdly. "The cold makes your hands dry, and yours have to stay soft." I took out my hand creme, applying some on hers. "Ah it's fine, I'll do it," she pulled them away. "Are you alright? You seem nervous," I mumbled a bit. "Me? No, I'm all good. What about you? Is something bothering your mind? You don't seem as present like usual." I leaned back into my seat. "No, it's all good in my case as well. Just tired," I lied.

"You know what we haven't done in a while," one of my basketball friends Henry spoke up. "Mh?" I hummed in response while the rest seemed unbothered. "A pyjama party." I stopped my action, which was actually just counting birds that flew by. We all sat outside in the small field by the old school. We made a break, sitting all whether on the floor or on the bench. Ji-kyoung started to laugh a bit. "Are you serious? We did that when we were like ten?" The rest agreed facing him judgeful. "But think of it, we all are dating someone who we could bring with us, well exept Ju-hyeok. But-" He interrupted him, "so you plan on having all your nice boy and girlfriends over when I'm just supposed to sit there?" He scoffed, causing me to I let out a huff. "I don't know. Taerim, why don't you bring Akari?" He suggested. "She can't stand boys," I denied, drinking some water. "Well.."
