ending

narration

you were walking through the building halls with a book in your hand, heading to the hangout area where your friends are at.

"chanyeol, chanyeol, there she is." a friend of his, chen, whispers to him.

chanyeol shifted his gaze to you but you were walking slowly because you were immersed with reading fantasy books.

"go, go!" his friends pushed him immediately as you were nearby them. chanyeol controlled his balance though.

you stop and see chanyeol standing in front of you. putting down your book slowly, with a questioning face.

he scratches the back of his nape, "uh, can we meet at the garden after school?" smiling.

you wondered why? "um, sure." you didn't want to reject or what to say besides that.

"uh, i guess i'll see you later?" he shoots me an awkward smile. i smiled and nodded back.

continuing to walk towards the hangout area, not planning to blurt out anything of what chanyeol said, because it's probably something based on school work.

fast forward

the bell had rang and remembered what chanyeol told you, to meet him at the garden.

and so, you bid goodbye to your friends and walked towards the garden area, where not much people are around.

after a few minutes of walking, you saw a tall figure sitting in a bench at the garden, did I take that long?

"oh hi." he smiles.

"um hello, so what did you want to talk about?" i ask, im curious about that.

"well you know.. chelsea.." he stops. i raise my brow.

"can I court you?"

"can i court you?"

"can i court you?"

"can i court you?"

he what?

"wait, what?" i don't know why he's doing this.

"i'd be willing to court you.. i like you, chelsea.." but, why now? just as i have moved on?

"w-why?" tears started to blur my eyes, for all these years.. i tried so hard to wait for this moment, but eventually i gave up.

"chelsea.."

i slowly stood up, "c-chanyeol." i sniff. "i-i'm afraid of how i can't answer you, i've had such a hard time getting over you. and i eventually gave up and moved on. it was so hard, it took a lot of me to do that. then now you want to court me?.." his expression softened.

he stood up. "but i.."

"chanyeol, ive waited for you. i got sick of crying over you. you gave me so much signs about hoping that you'd like me back but i ended up disappointing myself chanyeol. and it was so difficult to get over you." i sob.

he was speechless, he didn't exactly know what to do.

there was a small silence after you slowly turned your back and walked away.

but before you could actually past a meter walk, he dashed towards you and back hugged you. you were surprised. surprised that it was the first time you got a hug from him, that hug that you've longed for so long.

"im sorry chelsea.. i.. i was so messed up that i thought that there's other girls to date. but eventually my eyes would always look for you, i have no idea why i'm like this, but it's always you, chelsea.. and i'm sorry i'm such a fuck-up person. i shouldn't have let you go. i'm sorry." you stared into his brown sincere eyes. is he serious? all this time, i thought he didn't think of such things about me. that caught me off guard.

"i love you chelsea.. and i shouldn't have let you go. please give me a chance, to.. to make you happy. just like you've longed for. because ive realized that, you were lonely, and needed somebody. i, felt the same.."

he goes down into his knees and i was surprised by his sudden actions. i went down fast as i could to bring him up. "get up chanyeol, don't do this."

his stubborn self remained the same, kneeling, "please give me a chance chelsea.."

i furrowed my eyebrows, "okay.." i blurted out of no where. i just felt so bad he's doing it this way. why did it seem so easy to just say that so fast?

"r-really..?!" i nod. "but there's a condition, i won't date you, yet." he gives out a slight pout.

"that's alright i guess, i'd willingly wait for you." that slightly made me happy, knowing that he would do such things for me.

then there, he hugs me, i eventually hugged back and smiled for the first time of the month.

i guess.. it wouldn't hurt to, love him again.. right?

"let's go." he smiles at me, he intertwined both of our opposite hands and walked me home.

it was a wonderful day, because of God's blessing that I've longed for, and how he is good.

// not a good ending but i just felt like writing it. ☺️ always love God!
