Chapter 9: The Confession

-Song Ji Hyo-

"No, that never happened." I said feeling embarrassed. "And if it did then we were five so it doesn't count."

"So, you do admit that you used to have a crush on me." Joongki smiled. "I'm not dumb Ji Hyo. You always followed me around and agreed to every thing that I said."

"That's only because you were my closest friend and I didn't want our friendship to break!" I argued.

Joongki laughed. "Okay, whatever you say. Anyway, Ji Hyo. I've got something to tell you... I'm going to be going to my dads place during the upcoming break."

"Really? How long are you going to be gone?" I asked.

"Just until school starts." He assured. "But... I don't know how you're going to be able to live without me. Since you do have an obsession with me and everything."

I nudged his shoulder. "Oh stop. And I'll be fine since I'm with Gary."

"Good. I didn't want you to be spending spring break by yourself." Joongki sighed. "If I could stay I would, but my dad really wants to see me before he moves out of the country."

I nodded. "I understand. I'll be fine don't worry."

"Oh and I'm sorry if we haven't talked much since we got those exam grades back. You know, since I'm not a loser anymore everyone is trying to drag me into their cliques before somebody else does. I don't understand the people at this school. zone day they're throwing eggs at us and then the next they want to be our best friend." Joongki said with a confused expression.

"It's because we actually stood up for ourselves and made a fool out of Kim Jong Kook." I said with a smile. "They probably never expected any Jai Ho kid to do that. You know, I was thinking that we should become friends with that one senior Ji Suk Jin. He should at least have some good memories of high school before graduating. And we should help him make those memories."

Joongki nodded. "That sounds like a great idea. But after break. Because I'm busy packing this week."

"Deal. I'm so glad it's not a school today. I don't have to face that idiot." I said. "I'm lucky today was a holiday."

"Jong Kook has changed." Joongki looked at me. "The other day he kept asking me how I looked so handsome. He even wanted to take a photo with me... and he set it as his wallpaper."

I laughed when Joongki said that. "Really? I mean you're not unattractive, but you're not that attractive either. I mean, you're good looking but not so much that I'd set you as my wallpaper."

"Yah, I'm good looking!" Joongki said, sounding annoyed.

"so you yourself think you're good looking?" I laughed. "Do you look at yourself in the mirror and say 'Dang Joongki, you look handsome today' ?!"

Joongki looked embarrassed and he shook his head. "No way. Why in the world would I do that? I'm not obsessed with myself."

"Sure Joongki. Now that you're not a loser at school the girls suddenly realized how attractive you were. I mean they were all crowding around you the other day..."

Joongki interrupted me. "You think I'm attractive?"

I shook my head. "No! Why would you say something crazy like that?"

Joongki shrugged. "Well you basically just admitted that you thought I was attractive. So HAHA! I knew it all along."

I blushed and looked away so he wouldn't see. Okay, Joongki is good looking, but it's not like I would date him. I mean, he's my best friend. That's never going to happen. "Well think what you want, but I promise you I never in my life thought you were good looking." I lied.
