Maybe I Like You. (MILY)

008

"right, i have underwear, a bunch of shirts, a bun of skirts and bottoms, my skincare and jewellery. i have my phone, laptop, a pen, uhh some gum, i think thats all?" yunjin whispered to herself, "oh wait, my airpods!" yunjin exclaimed, grabbing her airpods then running out her room to grab the sandwich she made before school the day of the party.

she had planned it for a while, kazuha had played a big part in her plan, and yunjin was so thankful for kazuha. to yunjin, kazuha was an angel sent from heaven for her personally.

kazuha had come up with the idea of running away from her house after hearing what happened when no one was around yunjin and her dad. at first, yunjin protested saying that kazuha would be 'lonely without her,' and 'she couldnt leave her bestfriend.' later, kazuha had convinced yunjin saying she'd also buy a ticket to go with yunjin back to america.

so that brings us to here, where yunjin was packing and getting ready to leave her 'home' in korea for good. yunjin was going back home to where she was born and raised until the ripe age of 10. but this time she was going with the person she called a sister.

"i feel like i forgot something.." yunjin mumbled, trying her hardest to remember what she had forgot. "oh! i remember! my money!" yunjin giggled, running back to her room and pulled out a shoebox from underneath her bed.

when she opened the box, five stacks of money awaited her. smiling at her very good efforts of saving, yunjin grabbed the money and placed it in her black bag, the smile not leaving her face.

after double checking that she had everything, yunjin placed the backpack containing all her belongings, grabbed the purse (a/n: yet again, i would call it a handbag but for the purpose of the story its gonna be called a purse) that contained her phone and the money she took from the shoebox.

walking over to her desk, yunjin wrote a note on a sticky note, stuck it on her mirror then opened the door to her room, walking out of it without looking back. she knew is she looked back she couldnt go forward so she kept walking.

once she stepped out the house, yunjin took her phone out, texting kazuha that she was making her way to the airport. receiving an 'okay, ill get my mom to drop me off now' yunjin smiled and decided to take a few photos of her surroundings on her, now fully charged, phone.

smiling at the sound of chirping birds, yunjin finally made it to the bus stop. and her timing seemed to be amazing that day since the bus had arrived as soon as she got there, "my gosh am i lucky" she muttered to herself and taking a step on the bus.

after paying and finding a seat, yunjin took out her phone to text kazuha only to hear her name being called out from the other side of the bus. "hm?" she hummed, lifting her head to find the source of noise.

after finding it, she wished she had never lifted her head. she wished she could turn back time and place her airpods in her ears and blasted music so loud the old guy sat next to her could hear every lyric said. (which wouldnt be the best considering she loves listening to some...interesting songs..)

she gave an awkward wave and a nod of her head to the five boys that called her name. smiling awkwardly and laughing internally at the way a certain someone's ears went red when she noticed him. they kept staring at her without saying anything, causing her to think there was something wrong with her.

looking down at the plain black oversized shirt, plain dark denim flared jeans, her slightly dirty white shoes. then opening the camera to check there wasnt anything on her face, once she was done she looked back at the group of boys.

beomgyu and yunjin made eye contact for a bit before he looked away shyly, his ears painted a scarlet red while his cheeks were dusted with a beautiful rose colour. making yunjin giggle silently at the sight.

the group around beomgyu had started to tease the poor boy, making his already red state worsen. she laughed to herself at the sight, remembering the times it was her getting teased by kazuha because of her small, silly crush she had on said boy.

hearing the announcement on the next stop, yunjin stood up and made her way toward the exit of the bus. "hi" she waved to the boys seeing as they were also getting off at the same stop as her.

"hey, you should probably talk to mr. im-in-love-again over there. hes been talking about you nonstop since the party!" one of the shorter boys had ranted, clearly pissed about it. "sorry about him, jin. hes a little pissed 'cause i talked about you to him.." beomgyu apologised on his friends behalf.

"no worries! honestly im sorry taehyun had to listen to your annoying voice" yunjin laughed with the others, while beomgyu stood there with an offended look on his face. "my voice is not annoying!" he squeaked, catching the attention of a few other people around them.

"it is!" yunjin teased, stepping off the bus once it came to a complete stop and the doors had opened. once they had all exited the bus, yunjin attempted to speed walk away from the group, deciding she had enough of the awkward interactions with them.

"hey ginger, why you walking so quick?!" one of the boys she had remembered as yeonjun had yelled after her. she turned around with a small, very obviously forced, smile and shouted back "i have somewhere to be. my bus comes soon and i cant miss it!"

with that she turned around and walked towards the final bus stop she needed to stand at. pulling out her phone, she texted kazuha of her whereabouts. kazuha had texted her back telling yunjin that there was a bit of traffic so she might be a little late.

yunjin responded with an 'ok' and then placed her airpods in playing music on quite low volume, then taking a piece of gum out her purse and placing it in her mouth. chewing it to calm her racing mind and slow her beating heart.

so far, she had only 3 missed calls from her dad and zero messages. she saw this as a win and stepped on the bus when it had finally arrived. sitting down and humming to herself, she looked out the window. taking her time to yet again, appreciate nature and take in all the things she might have missed when she used to go on this bus.

the bus had finally arrived at the airport and yunjin stepped off it, deciding to wait for kazuha so she wouldnt have to go alone. texting kazuha with a 'where u at?' and getting a picture of kazuha somehow in one of the stores inside the airport, yunjin laughed at her best friends behaviour and walked inside the airport making sure she had all her belongings and stuff.

after finally getting checked in, yunjin went to find kazuha and with her amazing luck. yunjin had found kazuha in a world record of five minutes. the two friends laughed and dreamed of all the things they would do once they finally got to america.

"my american accent is the best dont lie!" yunjin slapped kazuha's shoulder as they walked to the gate ready to board the plane. "no its not! mine is way better." kazuha sassed. "lies! im literally an american, i think mine's better." yunjin stated, the wide smile she had plastered on her face not once even thinking about leaving.

"of course you'd think that.." kazuha trailed off, squinting her eyes at something in the distance, causing yunjin to get concerned and ask her whats wrong. "i think im seeing things. thats not her is it?" kazuha mumbled to herself.

"who? kazuha you're scaring me!" yunjin distressed, thinking kazuha had seen her dead mother. "is that..."

"chaewon..?"
