Home from the dreading half-day-jail, school, at last! I went inside my apartment by the key my mom gave me. I always go home to no one. Mom's working till after 6, and Dad till midnight. Yeah, we're not that well off so my parents need to work harder to pay for my education. I always try my best to be the top student, I need to have a scholarship if I want to continue to a higher degree.

As I opened the door to my family's apartment, I was greeted with the usual quiet home. I went to the kitchen to grab a bread or anything that is there. While I took the bread off the counter, I heard foot shuffles from the back of the apartment. I went towards the sound and figured that the person, or possibly thief, was inside my room. I opened the door and was ready to fight, holding my bread up and preparing to hit whoever is inside my room.

"Yah! Who's there!" I shouted as I went inside my room ready for combat.

"Woah! Woah! Stop! It's JB!" The guy, jaebum, who is my apartment neighbor, said with his hands in the air.

I stopped dead track, and we paused in that position for awhile, him putting both his hands up in the air and me having my arm ready to hit someone with a bread. After awhile, JB started to laugh, clapping his hands like a seal.

"Why are you laughing!?" I asked him.

"Y/N! You pabo! You're going to protect yourself with a piece of bread didn't you?" He said in between his laughters. My face got hotter and got a darker shade of red within seconds.
"Yah oppa! That's all I have in hand! You scared me! What are you even doing here? And how did you come in!?" I bombarded him with questions, hoping he's distracted enough to forget about the bread encounter just now.

"Oh! I was bored in my house and I happen to don't have any practices today, and I know you must have left your laptop at home, so I stayed here to play! Your mom let me in before she went to work!" He said cheekily.

"Oh... Okay then. Are you staying? If you are, don't disturb me, ara? I need to study, I have a biology test tomorrow."

"You always study! I bet you'll still get a good score even if you don't study today! You're always reviewing. Take a break, Y/N!" He said while taking my hands and shaking it.

"But..."
"No buts! Come on, let's just go out today!" He said still giving me his eye smile.

"Uh... Give me an hour to review and then I'll go, okay? You know I can't afford having a bad mark, I need a scholarship if I want to go to college..." I told him. I and JB has been neighbors since forever, so we're very close. I share my stories to him and vise versa.

"Hmm.. Okay. But! Just an hour!" He told me after making an 'I'm thinking' gesture.

After an hour of me trying hard to focus with my reviews while JB was nagging me with, 'uuhhh an hour is toooo loooongggg' , I finally went to change and we headed out.

JB wants to go to the arcades and so we went there. When we arrived, JB took my hands and dragged me inside, once inside, he did not drop my hand and kept on holding it firmly. My heart can't help but to beat faster, he always has this effect on me, my heart will race, and I'll be nervous around him, this was since I'm getting into high school. I was getting into the same high school as he was and he was my senior by two years. He was so popular, the star basketball player, he dance, he sings, he's smart, every girl swoons over him.

In the first 3 months of me getting into that high school, most seniors, even my class mates, hated me for being close with JB. They felt like I was taking away their dear oppa. But then some started to be nice, they figured I was only a sister to JB, and that actually hurt my heart. Now, after 3 years, I'm still falling for him, and for 3 years too, I'm still believing the fact that JB sees me only as a sister.

"Y/N... Y/N! Are you even listening to me?" I was awake from my thoughts by JB's light nudge on my shoulder.

"Huh? What? Sorry.."

"I asked you if we should go to that game over there." He said, still smiling despite me ignoring him just now. He was pointing to the shooting game, in the game, we should shoot at the zombies going to us in the screen.

We went there and played, after done playing the games all over the arcade that catches our attention, we decided to go for dinner. JB always pays for my dinner, it's not that I don't want to pay, everytime he wanted to pay, I'll insist on playing, but JB always feels like he needed to pay for me. I don't want him paying for me just because he pities me, and I'm not taking advantage of that.

So when it was dinner and he's going to pay for me, I confronted him with the question.
"I'll pay." JB said, giving me a 'don't fight it' look.
"No, you always pay, I can pay once in awhile oppa, or we can go dutch."

"No, I'm going to pay for you and that's that."

"Why are you even paying for me? You don't need to pity me that much that you think you need to pay for me. I can still pay for my own food." I said firmly.
This statement made his eye widen. Am I right? He's paying for me because he pities me?

"Y/N.. No... It's not like that..." I refuse to talk. I hand a few dollars to the cashier, enough to pay for the dinner both of us took and left him there.

I left, running, he pities me, didn't he? I don't need someone whom I trust the most to pity me. That's just plain pathetic, and I'm pathetic enough to love him, for three fucking years.
JB ran catching up with me and pulled me into a tight embrace.

"What are you thinking? Y/N? How do you get the idea that I pay because I pity you?" He looked at me with concerned eyes without releasing the hug.

"Because it's true, right? I'm not more than just a sister who you pity because her parents need to work their asses off just for her tuition fees. I'm not more than just a sister to you..." I said, tears threatening to fall, but I fight it. I am a strong girl, I'm not going to cry.

"What? No... I-- I- ugh.. Actually, it's because I-- I love you..." He said, the last words a decibel smaller. This made me turn my head up and look at him, eyes widening and not believing my own ears.

"What..." Is the only thing I can mutter.

He released the hug, scratching his neck and looking down while smiling shyly. "Yeah.. I love you." He said, more surely now. "I pay for you, umm.. Because then I can act like our hang out is a date. Like.. You know.. Guys on dates pay for the girls, right?" He said again, than looking to my eyes shyly asking for confirmation.

Then, I can't hold it in, I giggled at his statement. "You pabo... Paying is dating? That's your logic?" I said, now smiling, then he hugged me again, while smiling cheekily.

"I love you too, JB" I said in the hug.
And we went home hand in hand, not anymore as neighbors, but as lovers.
