Since we were young

chapter 23

-

I went to the park, fortunately there's no one here cause it's 4:50 am rn. I sat on the bench, and started at the pond there for few minutes. Deep in my thoughts.

"Boom!!"

I fliched at the voice behind me.

"Hey! You startled me!!"

"K, I'm sorry." It was Jake, my classmate. We don't talk too much with each other, we only talk when necessary or we need help.

Yeah I admit that he's handsome, but wait a minute..what the hell is he doing here rn at this time?

"What're you doin' here?" I asked him and he looked at me.

"Nothing, just wanted to spend some time alone with myself, but say you already sitting here, hehe."

"Oh, I see."

"What about you?"

"Same." I looked at pond and smiled after glancing at him. He smiled back. Everyone says that he's so sweet, caring, kind and handsome and I think it's worth calling him that. People call him their 'Guardian Angel'.

This thought of Guardian Angel thing popped up in my head and I finally found a topic to talk about. Yeah, am a awkward person.

"Do you know what people or many girls at our school calls you? " I asked him and he looked at me and smiled.

"Am their Guardian Angel. I know. But the fact that they always follows me makes me uncomfortable. I feel so uneasy there." He said.

"Oh? Anyone would feel like that you know." I said and gave him a warm smile.

"But still, if all girls, whenever I talk to you, Y/N, I always feel comfortable. You're so kind and cute. You're odd than other girls. I know we haven't talked many times but still." He said. I was shocked of what he thinks about me.

"Woah! Thanks." I said and my lips automatically curved into a wide smile.

"Well, you see am totally an awkward person, so I don't have any topic right now in mind to talk about and continue our conversation." I said and he nodded.

"Really, same." He smiled and we just peacefully started at the pond infront of us and I didn't knew when time flew by so early, but the sun rised.

I got up to leave.

"Jake, we're hella late." I said and he opened his phone and widened his eyes and got up. He held my hand and started to run. I was so shocked and was processing what's happening but then we reached my home.

"Here you go! Get ready and wait for me here, I'll go get ready and we'll leave for school together." He said and he left running.

"K..." I was left there dumbfounded but then my brain stopped loading and I quickly went in to get ready.

-

"Here you are! Let's go!" He said and started walking. I followed him.

"So, how's life without him?" He said and I looked at him in confusion. Is he talking about Jimin?

"I mean Life without Jimin." He said and I signed. "It's been so boring. I miss him." I said and he just laughed.
"I know you like him, right?" He said and I widened my eyes. How did he...

"You made it obvious, Y/N." He said and I tilted my head. "How?"

"Whenever you were with him and he talked with other girls you always gave him a Bombastic Side Eye." He said and I laughed nervously.

"Well, that's..."

"It's okay. You're allowed to like anyone. I think that's why I like a girl lik-" he was interrupted by me.

"You like someone too?" I said and he nodded. I can see his cheeks burning red. "Who is she?" I asked him and he looked at me in my eyes. Then suddenly Emily snapped us and Jake cleared his throat.

We all walked to school together, talking random things. Me and Emily sat on the last bench and Jake sat there with Erik and we continued to survive our day in school.

It's been so boring without you, Jimin. Please come and meet me as soon as possible.
