?? : Hi!

Brooklyn : Uhm, hi? Who is this?

?? : Oh, my apologies. The name is Hoseok, Jung Hoseok. And you are?

Brooklyn : Brooklyn... what's it matter to you?

Hoseok : Oh nothing, I'm just looking for a friend.(:

Brooklyn : Ok then weirdo... I have to go. I just got to school. Bye.

Shaking your head, you turn to your best friend and exaggeratingly swing your backpack around your shoulder. Chuckling, he asks, "Geez, what's wrong with you, Brooklyn? A boy getting on your nerves again?" You rolled your eyes at his comment and swung his door open. "I've gotta go. Class starts in five minutes." You were the kid that hated being late to class and since it was your senior year, you absolutely couldn't slack. He followed you in large strides, hence he has practically every class with you. Girls eyed him glued to your heels and snickered, I didn't see why they cared, but it's whatever.

During lunch, you get yet another notification from this Hoseok guy. "What does he want," you question, loud enough for your childhood friend to hear. "Oh, so it is a guy? Who is he, what's he look like? Is he good to you," he pesters you as much as he possibly could until you give him a glare. Saying quite loud, "No, I don't even know the kid and he keeps messaging me. I downloaded this app to meet foreign friends, but he seems different. Most of the time, I have to message them first... but he is different."

Hoseok : Hi! Just checking up on you. How's school going so far? Good, I hope?

Brooklyn: It's school I guess... nothing new.

Hoseok: That's no fun. Chat with me instead?

Brooklyn: Look, I barely even know you. What makes you think that I want to chat with a complete stranger?

Hoseok: Well then... get to know me?

Brooklyn: Yeah right.

Towards the end of the day, you peek into the music room to see Tae singing one of your favorite songs. You giggled quite loudly and he noticed you, oops! Removing the headphones, he shyly gazes up at you and starts his way over. "Ready to go," you ask while biting your lip. "Yeah, of course. I have to study when I get home anyway." The car ride home was a bit awkward, and that's perfectly fine. You enjoyed the silence that surrounded you and him. It was mesmerizing and you loved the idea of spending time with someone who's been there for you since you were born. It's crazy, actually, that you have yet to fall in love with your best friend. You thought of it, but it seemed odd. You couldn't imagine being in a romantic relationship with him, and the fact that he was simply out of your league stopped you from pursuing that idea.

As he pulled into your driveway, your dogs came running out to greet you. They both tackled you down, but couldn't seem to get Taehyung on the ground. Volunteering, he gets on the ground with you and starts playing with the two rascals.  After 5 minutes, he stands and says that he has to leave. As they fake cried, he gave you a quick hug and went on his way.
        Really though... why can I not find love?
