Friday. The day that Aera has to choose one of her friends.

It's either Woonhak, her childhood friend or Taesan, her new friend that is now close to her.

Who will she choose? Neither she knew.

Aera's pov:

I'm nervous. Who will I choose?

Yesterday night I thought about it, and I think I have found my feelings. Though I'm not 100% sure.

- Aera - Ms.Kim called me.

Oh, right. I'm with Ms.Kim talking since Woonhak was with
his father in the garden, helping him with something.

- Yes? - I asked.
- do you know who will you choose? -. She asked -. Today is your final choice.
I sighed -. I'm not sure. I want to choose the one that i like, but I don't know who I like in the first place...

She hummed.

- You have to find your feelings first - she said.

I nodded.

- Lucky you. I'll help you know - she smiled.

I looked at her.

- With who do we start with? My son? - she asked.

I nodded.

- How do you feel when you're around him? - she asked.

How do I? Before he left, I felt butterflies. But...now?

- Do you feel... happy? Sad? Mad? How? - she asked, looking my confused face.
- Well... I... feel happy, I guess - I hesitated.
She nodded -. Do you feel strange when he's with you? Like, something flying in your stomach?
- Yes
- Do your eyes shine when you're with him or talk about him?
- I don't know. I don't see my eyes, aunty - I replied.

She hummed and smiled. Happy.

She realized something that I didn't.

- Now... what about Taesan? Do you feel the same? - she asked.
- Well... I'm happy and I smile
- But do you have butterflies? - she asked.

Now that I think about it... No. I'm happy, but not as much as when I'm with Woon...

Do I like Woonhak?

- No - I replied.

She clapped happily.

- Then, you like my son. Not Taesan, Aera - she said.
I smiled sheepishly -. I guess...

Now that I think of it... I like Taesan's personality and I can't deny that he's attractive and Handsome... wait, aren't the two adjective mean the same? But, I don't like him in that way.

- Then it's solved. Dear, choose him - Ms.Kim said.
- I... I will
- Also, I know you liked him in the past - She said.
I chocked -. What?

I blushed. How did she...

- It was obvious. When you were in fifth grade, you talked about him to your mother, she told me. And your eyes shined, but not as much as they do now. And you always smiled with him - she explained.

Oh... true.

- But what if he...
- He likes you back - she cut me.
- Uh?
- Yeah, he realized he loved you when we were moving to Daegu

Oh my god. He likes me back?

- So... do I have a chance? - I asked. I don't want to get my hopes up for nothing.

She smiled and nodded.

- You have. He even asked me a few weeks ago about this matter
- Really?!
She giggled -. Yes! He put an excuse, which was so bad.
- Which?
- You know, the typical " I have a friend that likes someone and asked me for help "
- Omo, really?
