Aussie and cookies

"I've gotta ask you something." I turned to him as we walked. "I saw you at the party on Monday. I noticed you were staring at me for a while, I was wondering if you had to tell me something?" I confronted and he raised both his eyebrows.

He starts talking "Oh, about that- it's just that your dress looked pretty, I didn't notice I was staring at you, sorry if I made you uncomfortable." He said and scratched his neck.

Flirting already?

This guy really is something "Reasonable. I mean the dress was pretty, wasn't it!?" I say and he nods in agreement as we enter the café.

We studied the entire evening and had a great time talking about places to visit, good restaurants and boys and pieces of everything.

"I think I live around you, let me walk you home." He offered to walk me home? He lives nearby?! I put a clear look of confusion in my face.

"I think my house is just a block away from your place." He clarified. "Okay, but how do you know where I live?" I ask in confusion "I met you there on our way here, silly!" He explained and ruffled my hair as he smiled.

My heart-

What is wrong with me these days-

Jay walked me home, and I think he left for football practice afterwards. At least my misunderstanding is cleared. Let me check up on Ni-ki, he still hasn't responded to my message, that I sent almost 2 hours ago.

Ni-ki: What?

Sun Hee: What is wrong with you!? You left me on seen! I'm back from the café.

Ni-ki: Okay

Sun Hee: What do you mean okay!? Answer my question!

Ni-ki: Nothing I'm just tired. How did it go with Jay? Did he do anything?

Sun Hee: Jay is competitive, he's good at studying. We had a great time and he even walked me home today.

Ni-ki: I saw.

Sun Hee: Mm. Well, have fun at football practice then!

Ni-ki: I'm heading out right now.

Sun Hee: Let me see you from my window!

"BYEEE!" I yell at him

"ANNYEONG!!" He yells back as he walks away and cuts the call.

*Beep*

Everyone was very welcoming, I didn't really have a hard time fitting in. I'm at the ground right now. Jake and Sunghoon were already here.

Ni-ki arrived right after I did.

It seems they really did forget about me. Everyone.

They took me in as a part of their team and apparently we had a match next week.

I found out Jake moved here last year. He's from Australia! Sunghoon was surprisingly impressive, and Ni-ki... he was trying to talk? It felt like he did want to approach me but couldn't.

"Hey...!" I caught Ni-ki's attention and he looked up. "Hi." he replied. "We're table mates in class!" I said and he nodded. "Want to be friends with me?" I asked and he let out a soft smile "Didn't we become friends at lunch?" He chuckled and I was over the moon. He was talking to me!

He hasn't changed after all.

"Yah, your Korean name is Park Jong-seong?" I turned around in horror to see Sunghoon with the register. "Eotteohge al-a (how do you know)?" I run after him.

"PARK JONG SEONG! PARK JONG SEONG!" Everyone cheered as I frantically chased Sunghoon.

"Eomma (mom)! Can you get me some water!" I call my mom from the living room. She was in the kitchen preparing dinner.

"Ye (yes)! I'm bringing!" She came to me with a glass of water. I drank the water and saw my mom taking a seat. "Do you know who's Jay?" I suddenly asked her. "Don't you know him?" she replied with another question. "Well, he joined our school today and he's in my class." I shared.

"You don't remember being friends with him? When you were younger?" She asked and left me confused. "Ani (no), I didn't have any friend named Jay?" I asked.

"Park Jong Seong?" A memory clicked. "Wah! Don't you remember the little boy that used to bring you cookies?" She tried to get me to remember.

"Omo! Is it- I knew I'd seen his smile before!" I squealed. "His... smi-?" She tried to speak but I ran up to my room.

I was getting a call from him! OMO, OMO, OMO!

*Ring*

Jay: Hello...?

Sun Hee: H-hi!
