June, 2020.

I bounced on my feet nervously as I waited at the bus stop, a pink letter grasped in one hand. As I watched the buses come and go, the hope suddenly diminished. This didn’t make any sense. He was never late for school. Still, it was fifteen minutes before lessons started. Maybe he just got held up at home. I will wait a little more.

He never came.

And I never knew that the next time I’d see him would be the last time I saw him in person, and the next time, it would be on screen.

January, 2018.

“Jiah! Gosh, it’s freezing.” Rona called out to her friend as she hurriedly got off the bus, wrapped in several layers. “Let’s hurry get to class.”

“You look like a burrito.”

“Hey! It’s cold. I don’t do well in cold weather.”

“Okay, okay, have my ear mufflers.” I then grabbed my pink, heart-shaped ear mufflers and placed it over her ears. “Let’s go- ouch!”

“Sorry!”

“Hey! Watch where-” I found the words stuck as I was suddenly face-to-face with an angelic-looking figure. The bright sun behind him illuminated the outline of his body, making him look otherworldly. He was simply gorgeous.

“Sorry! Here.” He offered his hand. Momentarily stunned by his beauty, I found myself a statue. This probably made him judge a little, I saw it through his darting eyes. I quickly snapped myself out of it and took his hand. His soft hand. He wasn’t wearing gloves despite the cold, but it felt so warm.

The boy gave a soft cough, apologising once again, before running off in the opposite direction from where we were heading.

I later found out that he was in the all-boys school near ours.

I didn’t know his name, but I was determined to find out.

February 2018.

Rona and I snuck into the school. She didn’t approve, but she was determined to help me put my mind at ease – to find out his name, at least.

That day I saw him celebrating by the lockers with a party hat on his head. A birthday song was sung. It was obvious it was his birthday.

Rona and I had to quickly leave as we saw some other students rounding the corner. We narrowly escaped the security guard.

That day, I was happy. I found out two things about my mysterious crush. His birthday, and his name – Yang Jungwon.

July 2018.

It was summer break. I was sad as I couldn’t see him anymore. I had been waiting at the bus stop every morning just to see him from the sides. He was always on time. He never saw me, but that was fine. Just seeing him was enough. Compared to the boys in my school, he was a breath of fresh air.

Summer break meant that school was out. I didn’t expect to see him, but could you call it fate? I guess we stayed around the same neighbourhood, because one day as I was exiting the convenience store with a stash of ice cream, he bumped into me once again.
