"Since when do you like knitting?" i was trying to knit as i watch a tutorial from a youtube channel before i turned around to find Minji who just arrived at my house to hangout. 

"Just trying a new hobby." Minji gave me a weird look, it's unusual for her to see me trying new things when i usually decline every other activities that she has recommended before. Minji knew something was up and after a bit she finally realized.

"You're making it for Sunghoon, aren't you?" Minji folded her arms as she waits for my answer while i was trying to think of an excuse to deny that allegation.

"What? Pftt no- Okay fine, it is for him." I took back my lie knowing well Minji would never buy it. Minji could only shake her head at my determination to win over someone's heart.

"You really think he would accept your gift this time? He always gives you a cold shoulder and decline every other thing you gave him. Heck he doesn't even thank you and just straight up rejecting you." Minji sat down next to me, giving me a concern look as she stated the the hurtful fact. I looked down on the scarf that i was knitting, what Minji said really got to my mind and i'm starting to consider to back down, but i shook it off immediately.

"Well to gain something i have to work hard for it, i can't give up just yet. Plus i already knitted his initials on the scarf, i can't undo it now." Minji finally nodded, she knew i'm a very stubborn person so arguing any further would get nothing. 

After a few hours, i finished making the scarf, it was messy but i still did it. I waited for tomorrow to come to meet him at school where i can give this handmade scarf to him, hoping that he would accept it this time.

It was the first day of the week, which is Monday and i got up to get ready for school, with the same excited feeling i have everytime i think about meeting Sunghoon at school. Thinking about my crush is a good way to start the day, it even makes me want to go to school faster. Imagining how Sunghoon would react if i made him a scarf really makes me feel giddy yet nervous at the same time. I bet he'd be happy and thankful.

"No."

"Wait what?" 

"I'm not taking that, i don't wear scarfs." I could hear my heart shatters into pieces as he rejected me again for the nth times, and he just left me there standing in the hallway, dumbfounded. I didn't want my hardwork to go to waste, i was thinking to chase after him but that would make the situation even worse. Just then i saw his locker was opened, i guess he forgot to lock it again before leaving. I just shove the scarf into his locker whether he would like it or not. I stomp my way back to class, not feeling giddy anymore after what happened. 

After school, i went the back of the school, bringing a plastic bag full of cat food. A few months ago i've found this orange kitten stranded here, i wanted to take him home but sadly my brother is allergic to fur so i decided to take care of him here instead. 

"Hi Wonnie, missed me?" i picked up the orange cat that i named Wonnie as i pet his fur.

"Huft i guess today is still not the day, he still rejected me, even after i made him a scarf with his initials on it. He's really mean, isn't he?" I talked and tell Wonnie about my day as if he could understand me, eventhough he was focused on the food that i just poured on a plastic plate.

"I don't understand, i did everything i could, i even made him a scarf but he never have his eyes on me, did i do something wrong? I don't think so, so what's the problem? Why is it so hard to like me back or just accept my gifts? Or maybe i'm not his type? Ah i don't know!" I layed down my body on the grass, looking up at the sky as i try to find a logical reason on why Sunghoon kept rejecting me, i mean at least he could reject me in a nice way. As Wonnie finished his meal, i picked him up to the sky. 

"Why do you even like him?" I imitate a weird voice, acting as if it was Wonnie who asked the question. 

"Why do i like him? For starters i know deep down that he's a warm hearted guy, one day..."

Flashback

One day when i was walking to school, i noticed an old lady was struggling to cross the road, she didn't know how to use the crossing button, even worse the plastic bag that she was holding slowly starting to ripped open, making almost all the apples inside the bag fall out scattering all over the place. I was about to help her, but someone beat me to it. I squinted my eyes when i saw that person wearing the same uniform as i am and then i realized that it was Sunghoon, a guy from school who i only know the name and how cold he is according to other students. 

After helping the old lady to gather around the apples, he also helped her to cross the road safely, the old lady was really grateful for his help as she thanked him and give him the one adn only apple that was didn't fell to the road. Sunghoon bowed as a thanks for the apple before sending off the old lady. Unexpectedly, he broke into a smile, and boy oh boy that smile made me feeling things inside. 

Suddenly we meet each other's eyes from across the road, i was determined to get to know him and be his friend, so i waved at him. Instead of waving back, he quickly erased his smile and walk away. I frowned, but that did not stop me from getting to know him. At school i tried talking to him, only to be ignored every single time. 

Later after school, i decided to visit Wonnie so i went to the back while bringing a few cat snacks. There i saw him again, with his charming smile as he played with Wonnie, the way he laughed when he saw Wonnie's cute actions. I knew from then that i might've developed some feelings for him. Of course i thought that this was a chance for me to approach me again, but i was wrong. When i approached him he immediately stood up from the grass and left me. It was definitely going to be a hardwork to melt down his cold walls.

"Not to mention he's really handsome though." I reminisce about the first time i developed a crush on Sunghoon, smiling even at the thought of it. 

"Did i just tell a story to a cat? I think i'm going a little crazy here." I shook my head, laughing at my own silliness as i put down Wonnie and closed my eyes using my arm.

"Ekhem." I slowly remove my arm from my eyes, slowly focusing my sight again at someone who just got here. I widened my eyes as i saw the person, not believing what i was seeing, even thinking if i was starting to halucinate or not.

"Sunghoon?"
