Who Is The One?

Chapter 14

I was grinning the whole way to school. I couldn't be bothered with what others thought of how I looked. I held my chest and felt it beating in excitement. My stomach was twisted in knots. Is this all a dream? Dujun actually likes me! I tried to stifle a squeal.

All these years he actually liked me too! When I reached school, I ran to look for Minji and when I spotted her, I grabbed her away from whatever she was doing and shook her shoulders.

"Ask me what happened." I said.

"Umm, what... happened?" She asked, completely puzzled.

"Dujun confessed that he likes me too!"

It took her quite some time to comprehend what I just said.

"Oh my god! He did!" Her eyes got rounder in surprise.

"I know! Oh my god!" I squealed.

"Tell me everything young lady." Minji got bossy.

I shrugged a shoulder and filled her in with the information.

"Oh my god that sounds just like a drama Youngji." Minji said.

"What drama?" Someone said from behind us.

I turned around and saw Hoya. He had his hands tucked into his jeans' pockets.

I took a glance at Minji as if to get a sign that I should tell Hoya the whole thing. Then I remembered. Hoya did want to be regarded as a friend who I could talk to. He seemed desperate that time. I should not be hesitating in telling him such things.

I pulled him by the arm to get him closer to us into a circle. "Dujun confessed to me and so did I."

Hoya's eyes widened and his face turned pale. "A- Are you serious?"

"Do I look like I'm kidding?" I put my arms to my hips.

He gave out a laugh and shook his head. "But you guys haven't met for a long time..."

"Yeah. It just happened." I explained.

After classes ended, I headed towards the library. When I got to my usual seat, I saw a brown haired guy sitting on that table. He had his back facing me. I slowed down to a stop beside him. He swivelled his head towards me and grinned.

"Mind if I seat here?" He asked.

"No, not at all Dongwoon. You're already seated down." I laughed slightly and took a seat opposite to him.

"Studying?" I asked as I took my files and laptop out.

He nodded his head. I puckered my lips and nodded my head. It was a habit.

He chuckled.

"What?" I asked.

"You looked funny puckering your lips like that."

I shrugged and started typing out my report.

Hours passed and Dongwoon seemed tired when I took a glance at him.

Without looking away from my laptop screen, I asked. "Wanna get some coffee or a drink? You seem tired. Or you could just go home now."

"Nah. Its okay. I'll be fine." He straightened up.

I could not help but smile at his act. Such a hardworking boy.

Just then, my phone buzzed. It was from an unknown number. I clicked on the message.

"Dujun here! Wanna get dinner together? I'm already waiting outside your school..."

The butterflies appeared in my stomach again. I grinned.

"Sure. I'll be right out."

I tapped on Dongwoon's hand. "I'll be going first. My friend's waiting for me."

"Hold on. I'll go with you." Dongwoon started packing his things.

When I hesitated, Dongwoon smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry. I'll go my separate way later."

I felt relieved. I did not want Dujun to get the wrong idea.

When we walked out into the entrance, I saw Dujun talking to a girl I never saw before and she left before I reached Dujun. I approached him. Dujun waved at me and I smiled. Dujun's gaze followed behind my head and I realised he was looking at Dongwoon.

"He's going home so we walked out together." I explained.

Dujun nodded. I looked at Dongwoon and he had a perplexed look about him. I shrugged my shoulders and smiled goofily.

"Let's go." Dujun pushed me gently from the back.

I managed to get a view of Dongwoon and waved at him.
