I jumped onto my bed, burying my face into my pillow. I knew my face was turned into the deep shade of red, and no matter what i did, it wouldn’t go away. I pushed back my head to breathe, flipped myself striaght catching the air. I reached out my hand and touched my forehead, the same place where Soel’s lips had brushed.

Thinking about that again made me go more red, only if that’s possible, I knew that because I could feel the heat coming out of my face. My face broke into a big smile and now this wasn’t going away either. Practicing alone with him was so exciting and it made my heart flutter like hell. I could still feel my heart beating so fast.

I cupped my cheeks, trying to stop myself from smiling and blushing so hard. I was sure that Soel Chan had seen me blushing a thousand times today but he was being too nice to point that. I picked up my pillow and hugged it tightly, just like the way Soel Chan did that day to me.

I wanted him to be near me, something inside me always jumps up when I’m near him. Even when he used to bully me, but since then he changed a lot. He’s turned into a kind Soel that I never imagined him to be. That day at the party he even told me he would get jealous if anyone else saw me wearing that shorts.

 Man, did he look sexy being jealous!

I sighed, loudly. I wanted to be in his arms again. He made me feel protected and like a guardian, he’s always there for me when I needed him. Today I sensed myself changing a little. When he told me to imagine him with me on that stage. I wanted to hold him there and never let go, I could actually feel myself being on stage and not fearing anymore and the feeling of only having him next to me mattered.

His presence would make me do things that I never expected myself to do. Even on that day, because of him I was able to challenge myself to sing in front of the class. It all was possible because of him. Even if I wanted to show him that day that he couldn’t pick on me anymore but then again it was only possible because I did it for him.

Soel Chan.

Was this wrong? Me being happy about all this? He’s being acting really nice lately and I can’t help but feel my heart opening up to him now. Can I trust him now? I hope he isn’t pretending all that because, I know, another betrayal from him can make me more broken than I already am.

I shifted towards the right side as thoughts of Soel Chan raided my mind. Slowly, drowsiness came over me and I was gone into a peaceful slumber. Dreaming about me and Soel Chan.

“Hey Maya!” Kim Na Na beamed at me, as usual. Her eyes held the gleam of happiness and her face was covered with her adorable smile. “I’m so happy!”  

“I can see that!” I smiled at her. “What’s up?”

She hanged her bag at the side of table and sat next to me. Sighing loudly, she faced me.

“I don’t know. I’ve been getting these weird happy feelings lately. Oh crap, I’ve been getting them since my birthday party!” Her eyes shone as she remembered something that made her life more happy than it already was.

“What?” I asked.

“I think- I think I-“

“Hey Maya, NaNa.” Charlie said as he stood next to our places.

“Hey!” I said.

“H-hi!” Kim Na Na stuttered. What’s with her? Her eyes turned into admiration as she looked at Charlie but lowered her eyes the moment he nodded at her. Was she blushing? Did something happen?
