It was already Friday, and I decided to attend school today.

Upon entering my classroom, I was immediately greeted with a familiar voice.

"There you are Haera!" They screeched.

Looking at them, I noticed that they were smiling happily.

I guess they missed me.

"Hi, Hyejong."

Smiling a bit, I looked around the classroom.

My eyes landed on a particular person.

There he was,

Im Jaebum.

My heart stopped beating and I could feel my cheeks turn crimson red.

That, is my crush.

He was such a sweet kid,

He was very caring,

Intelligent,

Cute,

And most importantly,

He's a gentleman.

Sadly, he does not even know that I exist.

I mean, he probably does,

But he does not know me at all.

Sighing, I went over to my seat and sat down.

I'm too much of a patient person.

I'm ready to wait forever for someone.

And that someone,

Is Jaebum.

Not even noticing someone staring at me, I continued to space out.

I sat in the middle of the classroom, in the front with another boy.

Jaebum, sat diagonally behind me and it was hard for me to look at him during class, because I would have to turn around.

The teacher came in, and class began.

Busy writing down notes on Biology, I got a message.

Quietly looking down at my phone, making sure that the teacher was not looking, I looked at the message.

Unknown number: I see you.

Looking around, no one was paying attention to me.

Huh? What does that mean?

Furrowing my eyebrows, I contemplated if I should write anything back.

Me: Who is this?

It sent.

Putting back down my phone, I continued to take notes and make sure that I payed attention in class.

I did not want to fail this class, it was an advanced one and I could not afford to get out of my payed tuition.

As we finished taking notes, the teacher allowed us to work with partners on a worksheet.

Hyejong approached me and sat down beside the once occupied seat near me.

We started working and I grabbed my phone out of my jacket pocket once again to see if they would have responded.

Unknown number: you know me.

Me: How would I know you if I don't have your number saved?

Quickly, they responded back.

Unknown number: I see you everyday as you leave school and walk to the same cafe.

Widening my eyes, I quickly shut my phone off and brushed off the weird feelings I was getting.

This must be a joke, right?

"Hae, are you okay?" Hyejong worriedly asked as she must of had seen my expression just now.

"I'm fine." I reassured her as we continued to work on the worksheet.

As class ended, it was time for lunch.

Not feeling like going to the school's canteen, I made my way out of the school to the cafe that I would always go to.

The same one they were talking about.

As I approached it, I looked up to the alley.

I wanted to see those green eyes again, as much as it sounded crazy, I did want to.

They were so interesting.

But this time, they weren't there.

Sighing, I went inside the cafe.
