"We're just friends but I love you." - Park Jimin / Min Areum
-----------------------------
"Ya Park Jimin!" I shouted when I felt someone cover my eyes.
"How do you even know it's me?" He laughed.
"Babo. I know you just by your tiny hands!" He pouted.
"Hahaha. Mianhaeyo Mini-ya. I'm just being honest here." I said and pinched his cheeks.
"Hajima!" He's trying to act annoyed.
"Aigoo. Kyeopta ~" I laughed again and pinched his cheeks.
"Ya ~" He said and eye-smiled.
"OMO. Where'd your eyes go?" I am supposed to jokingly touch his face. But before even my hands could land on his face, he held it.
"Kaja~ We're gonna be late for class." He said giggling.
He has Math while I have English. Both rooms are located in the third floor so it's our daily routine to go to class together. He drops me to class everyday. My classmates and even my English teacher thinks that were together.
"I see Mr. Park again." My English teacher teases him. "Dropping your girl to class? How sweet and thoughtful of you." My teacher would say this to him everyday and he will just nod, smile and then leave.
"If I'm not your best friend, I'd also tease you and Jimin." My best friend, Soo Young greets me.
"If only you live close by our place then I won't be stuck with Jimin." We both laugh.
Classes go by normally. Jimin usually joins Soo Young and I for lunch and speaking of the devil, here he comes.
"I've got your lunch babo! Eomma made you something because I told her you're eating crappy foods." I smiled. Who wouldn't fall for him? He may be small but he has a big heart. "You can have some too Soo Young." He smiled at her.
After we ate, he dropped us first before he went to his next class. I couldn't stop smiling because of his gestures.
"You like him." It was a statement. Not a question.
"Who wouldn't?" I looked at her. She just shook her head.
There's no point of hiding anything from Soo Young. We treat each other like human diaries. She keeps all my secrets and I keep hers too.
Months passed. Second semester is almost over. My daily routine never changed. Every morning, Jimin would drop me, then at lunch I eat with him and Soo Young.
I'm waiting for Jimin in front of the main office. Our parents called in and signed us out early. It's his parent's wedding anniversary and they've been wanting Jimin to introduce a girl to them but he never did.
"Oh you're here. Kaja ~" He grabbed my wrist.
"Mom delivered the dress and the pair of shoes you're going to wear tonight. Wear it nicely." He said, his smile reaching his eyes.
"Why?" All I was able to mutter.
"Because tonight's a special night. For me. For you. For them. For us." I just smiled.
I can feel it. He's gonna introduce a girl to his parents tonight. Could I be that girl? He said 'for US'. Could it be me? I don't want to assume but I can't stop my heart.
Jimin dropped me at our house which was only a block away from their house. I took a cold shower. When I got out of the bathroom, I saw my mom with our family make up artist.
