[ time skip ]

School has and ended and now I'm going to buy a new dress.

Because tomorrow is my birthday! I'm going to turn 18. Niki is already 18. He is like 1 month older than me.

My mom told me she would help me to buy the new dress. I want my birthday to be special. Because, of course, it's my 18th birthday.

We are going to celebrate my birthday in a bar. Yes, in a bar. All my friends are already 18, so it's not an issue.

We celebrated Niki's birthday in the Seoul biggest hotel. 

My mom will pick me up, so that's why I'm waiting for her at the school gate.

"Hey, what are you doing here? It's been 1 hour since school has ended". I flinched because of that sudden voice.

I turned around to look at who is this. 

It's sunghoon.

"Ah well, my mom is going to pick me up. That's why I'm waiting for her. She is in a meeting so she will come, like 15 min now", I told him. He nodded.

"What are you doing here?" I asked sunghoon. "oh i was studying in library" he said.  I nodded.

"Oh okay, well I'll give you some company until she comes" he said. "oh no it's ok, you can go. You don't have to" I said while shaking my head. "Ah no, well I'm also waiting for my driver" he said, smiling. "Oh ok" i said looking away.

I don't why but his smile makes me feel something. My stomach.....it's.....I don't know what's happening. He is giving me a weird feeling.

"So well, we still don't have each other's number" he said while making eye contact. "Oh right..." I said.

He passed me his phone.

"What?" I asked while raising both my eyebrows. "Give me your number" he said, like it's obvious. Haha how can I be that dumb. Of course, he is asking for my number.

I took his phone and added my number.

"Here" I said, giving him his phone. When he took his phone from my hand, his hand touched my hand. It gives me an electric shock. I quickly removed my hand.

He giggled a Lil.

"You know you are cute" he said out of nowhere. "What?" I said. I was flustered. Like, how can he say something like that to someone so easily? He doesn't know how it can affect others.

My heat really skipped a beat when he bent to my level and came closer to my face.

"I said you are cute" he said in a deep voice.

He moved away, not breaking eye contact.

I cleared my throat. "Ok ok" I said and, looking away. I touched my cheeks. Oh my god they are burning like a fire.

"Oh my mom is here, bye bye sunghoon" I said when I saw my mom's car coming towards me. "Yeah, bye bye", he said waving his hand.

I was about to go, then I remembered that I forgot to tell him about my birthday.

"Hey, well, tomorrow is my birthday so I want to invite you to the party" I said, scratching the back of my neck. "Oh sure" he said, smiling. "I'll message you the address, okay?" I said. He nodded.

When I enter my mom's car.

"Who was that handsome guy?" She said teasingly. "Oh he...he is my new friend" I said. "Are you sure? he is only your 'friend' " my mom said with a teasing smile. "mom!" I whined. "Hahah ok ok, I believe you that he is your 'friend' " she said.
