"You're back together again?" Akari questioned surprised. "Yeah", "Well, I should be happy, but I'm way more confused. Didn't you were secretly dating? And then you two told me you don't know what you are...and now you're back together?" I just nodded. "Ah Taerim, my head hurts," she whined, turning around. I quickly walked after her. "Why?" I linked our arms. "You're weird, girl. But yeah, be happy. I'm glad, just don't hurt yourself." She patted my head as I hid my smile. "Mh, I won't."

My phone started to buzz, so I grabbed it out of my bag.

Weird guy
Let me pick u up after school

You
No, people will see

Weird guy
So?

You
I literally pulled a whole show in front of the school. Everyone thinks we're definitely done. If I come back just like that...wouldn't it be weird??

Weird guy
I hate it that way though..but okay come behind the gate

I didn't respond any further. For some reason, it didn't sit right with me to show myself off dating him again. I just know people would come at me, and I'm honestly glad the topic started to cool down.
"Ahh, I'm glad," Ji-kyoung exhaled. "Why?", "I just couldn't watch this whole drama between you two," he explained. "Well, guess you all were right with what you told me about his behaviour." I sat down beside him outside. A moment of silence passed. "And how's Henry?" I asked. "You guys don't talk that often, right?", "Because I'm asking you? You know I'm closest with you...it's just because these days I didn't find time and also I shouldn't always be the one approaching first," I defended. "Come on, you know in this situation you should." I scratched my neck, admitting. "Mh, well whatever. She was really not right for him." I care for him, that's for sure. But we two never hang out just alone, so I always tend to go to Ji-kyoung first when I wanted to talk.

"She's moving back to America soon anyway," I faced him. "Ah really?" He nodded. "And JJ-" He cut me off. "Come on, Taerim, don't you wanna ask me anything too?" I stood back up, stretching myself. "Woah it's getting late. The break must be over soon." He sighed. "You're really not good in giving compliments." I turned around to him. "Yeah, well your new hair cut looks great." He started to grin. "I'm sure Mi-ju likes it." He stood up, ruffling my hair. "Sure she does, nice to know you do too." I walked after him, swinging with my arms. "Is that really the only thing you wanted to hear?", "i'm just kidding, you know. I expected much more interest, but okay." He sulky speeded up his walk. "I'm not in charge to be interested in you though", "Friends obviously Are interested in each other, or are we not?" I scoffed. "Months ago we would only come together to play."

Just like he suggested, I waited for a few more people to exit before heading towards the gate. I looked around, but no sign. Suddenly I noticed his motorcycle standing at the side of the street so I approached it.
"Where is he?" I mumbled, searching for his presence.

After about five minutes of me just wasting time by counting passing by cars, flowers got held in front of me. I raised my head, making eye contact with the most prettiest boy I've ever seen. His hair blew flawlessly in the wind as he had this soft eye smile on his face. His hands were quite dirty as he showed me some flowers he must've picked out of the field next to our school. I immediately turned almost fragile for him. I started to smile slightly up to Minho. "Come on, take it. I picked them out with effort," he whined as I reached my hand up to take them. I held them up to my nose, taking a deep breath. "They're really pretty...thank you." He proudly grinned. "But what has gotten into you? You usually wouldn't do this." I ignored myself falling in love with him.

"Just be glad I did it...also they reminded me of you, I can't just ignore that," he mumbled the last part, putting on his helmet. I felt my heart melt as my cheeks turned into a light pink shade. "Come on, get on," he told me. "No, but how am I supposed to not destroy them like that?" I questioned, looking down on them with guilty eyes. "The ride will be short, don't worry."
