Young Ji's POV
"Young Ji-yah" my manager called and I looked at her "yes noona?" I replied "we can go now, the car is downstairs" with a nod I stood up and stretch for a bit. It's been a long day and I felt tired.

"You doing fine there?" She asked as we walk side by side "yeah, just a bit tired. I could feel my knees wobbling" and she laughs "well you're a ball of energy earlier, makes sense why you feel so tired" and I just smile "as long as they find it funny" she also nodded.

On my way home noona's been checking my schedule "you have the weeks off, higher ups called earlier saying your Saturday photoshoot has been cancelled" I stretched my neck "okay. I also need to have a proper rest" she nodded as well "yeah, your schedule for the following weeks are packed to the brim. With the apprearances from variety shows, to photo shoots, to YouTube collaborations. You need to find time for you to rest"

I nodded "yeah, I'm just glad that they love the music I releases" I felt she tapped my shoulder "what's not to like? I also love your music. Just keep on going Young Ji."

Raising both my arms up "Chill noona, I know I know." As we laugh along the car ride.

------------------------------------------
Waking up from the sun rays blaring from my window I stumbled here and there to remove the sleepiness in my head. Stretching my sleeping limbs, I looked at my wall clock that reads 12:34pm okaaaay, I've been resting nearly for 12hours already.

I've never felt that rested before, standing up I make my bed and head towards to the kitchen and have a cup of cold water.

Grabbing the remote from the center table I switch on the TV and let the noise fill the silence inside my house, as I rummage through my fridge for some food.

After a while I just decided to order some takeouts and sat down in the living room. Browsing on my phone, when a notification zero'd in my attention.
-beep-
Heol: Yah Youngji yah!!
Me: What's up?
Heol: Have you heard?
Me: About what??
Heol: Do you remember Kyungsoo sunbaenim?

That name, I haven't heard of him for a long time now. But his name still gives me butterflies. I scoffed to myself, get a grip I muttered and replied back.

Me: yeah, why?
Heol: They say he's back!!
Me: Really?
Heol: Yeah, apparently he just got back from US.
Me: and you know about that because?
Heol: School forum
Me: eh? You're still on the school's forum. It's 8 years since we graduated already.
Heol: not that school forum! Geez, anyways someone made a GC and added us. It's just recently.
Me: why didn't they added me?
Heol: Maybe they forgot about you. Just kidding, they know you're now a public figure so they're just being cautious.
Me: make sense, anyways what's going on with our past classmates?
Heol: Everyone is just enjoying their lives, wait- you're changing the topic at hand. I'm here to talk about Kyungsoo sunbaenim.
Me: What are we going to talk about him?
Heol: c'mon girl, like I didn't know. You like the ex-president all through out highschool.

I scoffed so that's why she brought it up.

Me: That's in the past girl, why bring it up?
Heol: Well isn't your newly released track about him?
Me: what?
Heol: don't lie to me Youngji-yah, I remember way back in highschool you kept on whining that you're too tall and all that. Wishing you're smaller, cuter, like the other girls surrounding him.
Me: heeey don't need to bring back the memories y'know. Besides I'm all good now, that's just hormones talking those years ago
Heol: don't you think it's kind of like sweet?
Me: what is sweet?
Heol: ugh. Its like destiny. The moment you releases small girl he came back.
Me: Coincidences happen y'know
Heol: geez, party pooper. Okay fine whatever. Anyways gotta go, love it by the way. Talk to you whenever.
Me: yeah, thanks for your time.

Re-reading our conversation I feel my butterflies rummaging inside my stomach. Kyungsoo Sunbaenim is back. Shaking my head and I laugh so what if he came back? With a bitter smile I looked outside and heaved a sigh.

-Flashback-
Waking up every morning feel so tiring for a highschool student, but then again seeing him everyday makes it feel so worth it.
"Yah! You're daydreaming again!!" Heol keeps on shaking my shoulder as I smile at her "sorry about that, what are you talking again?" She rolled her eyes on me "ugh, I don't wanna repeat it for the third time. What got you tied in your head?" She asked and I just hummed.

"Have you seen our president?" I asked and she scoffs "should have known about it. Yeah he's already in the student council room. Heechul told me that they have a morning meeting. He dreaded it but got dragged by their bice president himself" and that got us laughing.

"He really hates being part of the student council" I stated "well why did he even run for a position if he doesn't likes it"
"He just did that for shit and giggles, but since he's popular within our school ground he got what he deserves" she also nodded.

I'm in my second year of high school and I've dreading highschool like every students.
Seated in one of the furthest corner, the view from this window has been, satisfying so far.
Walking on the school ground, inspecting for late students are the student council's. Leading them is Kyungsoo sunbaenim- the current president. Four years in leading. I heaved a sigh, what's not to like about him?

Handsome, smart, talented- but he's a bit strict, calm, and who's nonchalant in every possible way. He's cold like that, maybe that's why girls go gaga for him. Can't really blame them since I'm on that same group.

As they're walking, he turned around and looked at my direction. I hurriedly put my head down. Wait, why am I hiding like I'm some fugitive. I'm on the third floor for Pete's sake. He won't see me that clearly.

Scratching the back of my head I felt lightheaded for a bit and chuckled to myself.

"So do you mind telling me what got you flustered through-out the class?" Heol kept on bugging me as we're enjoying our lunch.
"It's nothing, promise. I just thought of something."

"And that's Kyungsoo sunbaenim?" She asked and thanks to that I spluttered my drinks on her. She yelled and grimaced at her current appearance. "S-sorry about that"
"Yah! Young Ji!!!" She kept on wiping her self, disgust on her face as she angrily glance at me and I sheepishly smile at her mouthing my apologies.

"You don't need to react so big about it. You're not the only one shooting heart eyes towards him."

Thanks for that obviously answer, rolling my eyes towards he she just giggled "I just don't get it. Sure he's handsome, smart and all that but he's sooo calculative, nonchalant about everything. Besides he's so strict, like the other way I got cleaning duty since I wasn't wearing my ID. Like a warning is appreciated"

I scoffed back "that's like your 5th time. You're still expecting leniency?"
She glared at me "hello, I'm supposed to be your friend aren't I? You're supposed to support me, not the other way around" I raised my hand towards her "he's the president, I should listen to the rules"

"Rules my ass, you don't even listen to your mother and you're telling me you're all for the rules. Hey, how's your audition for that rap program?"
I shook my head "unfortunately my auditiona video was not accepted"
She nods "why not focus on academics? You have great grades too"

Looking up, I appreciated the sound of nature in my ears "I just feel more alive with music Heol, like it speaks my purpose and I breath it in"

She smirks "I think you being a gag woman is a much better match if you asked me" looking at her "glad I'm not asking your opinion"

"Anyways, whatever happens. I'll support you Young Ji-yah, just give me your autograph before you got famous"

"Yeah, sure thing" smiling side by side we drifted on different topics.
-end of flashback-

Shaking my head to refocus my eyes on the TV. Who would ever thought that I would be here right now. I drabble into music, the public have open their arms and heart to me. And for that I'm greatful for everything.
