Hip hop music blared onto from his room, causing the house to shake and shudder. "KIM NAMJOON! TURN IT DOWN!" I yelled, knocking on his door. "Your mother told me to tell you you're being too noisy!"
A loud crash shook the house. "Yah...did you fall over again?!" I shouted. The music continued to shake the house. I kicked the door. "ARE YOU LISTENING? LET ME IN!"
Opening the door by an inch, I grinned as a goofy face appeared at the hole. He laughed and pulled the door further back. My heart fluttered as he smiled, displaying his charismatic dimples. I shook the thought off. He is just your friend.
Stomping into the room, I turned down the volume. Facing him, I crossed my arms. "Did you not hear me?" He smirked and leaned forward. "No. I didn't." His sudden closeness surprised me. I fell backwards onto his bed. "Yah yah yah! Personal space!" He laughed. Don't laugh you idiot! My heart started beating faster. What's happening?
We walked through the park back from the ice cream shop. Maybe I actually have a crush on him? I should confess...I should...I felt a tap on my arm, "So...I have a question for you...like...it's a question about girls so I thought..." I glanced up at him.
A girl question? I put on a forced smile. Does he have a girlfriend? Or someone that he likes? The ice cream in my mouth suddenly tasted bitter. "Go ahead." I blurted out.
"So...there's this girl I like..." My mind blanked. A girl that he likes? I blinked back tears. "...I want to confess but I don't know how..." He wants me to help him come up with a confession? I bit my lip.
"Are you okay? You look kind of pale." he suddenly asked. "Oh-oh I'm fine. I'm just a bit cold." I laughed, going into a faster pace. "Why are you going so fast?" I felt tears sting my eyes. Don't cry. Don't cry. He likes someone.
Tears came tumbling down like raindrops. I started running. "Why are you running now? Did I upset you? I'm sorry! Yah!" he yelled.
A hand grabbed my wrist and whipped me around. "What's wrong?" he asked softly. "Look into my eyes. Did I hurt you? Please tell me." I pushed him away and shook my head.
"No. Nothing's wrong. There is nothing wrong with you. It's just me. I'm being stupid." I heard him sigh. "You're not stupid or anything. I need to know what's wrong." Tears spurted out from my eyes. "NOTHING! OKAY? NOTHING!" He looked at me with sad and concerned eyes and murmured, "If you say so..."

I watched as he placed his arms around her shoulders. They laughed and he planted a kiss on her forehead. She giggled and gave him a peck back on his cheek. Both of them looked so happy.
I stared at the girl and wondered what if that was me? The thought vanished as I brushed away a small tear.
What it if that was me? I turned my back on them and walked away...
