언젠가 (Someday)

제 4 장

The clock struck 3:00. 30 minutes left untill we are dismissed. I wonder if Jisoo eonni already went to the grocery to buy the ingredients for the kimchi stew that I'll prepare later.

I sat by the window. I did not pay attention anymore to seonsaengnim, I just stared outside the window since it was boring.

Across our senior-highschool building is the junior-highschool building where Myungeun and Sujeong are, Yein's class is just one floor down from theirs.

Per level, there are two sections, namely A and B. Myungeun belongs to class A while Sujeong is at class B busy doing some stuff.

I saw Myungeun dozing off. I can clearly see her head falling from time to time.

I can't see Yein from here though since she's at the third floor. I wonder how she's doing right now.

The school bell rang. Finally! It's dismissal time. We greeted seonsaengnim goodbye then after he left, everyone immediately went wild, throwing papers in the air.

"TGIF!"

"Maja. It's Friday today!"

"Let's throw a party!"

"Nah, I've got a date"

"Yeah, me too."

"Me too."

"I'm gonna pass for now. I got a date too."

Almost everyone in my class have a date. For seventeen years, I never got into a relationship at all.

My female classmates have boyfriends already. Everyone's going on their separate dates.

At times like these I'm just gonna binge watch dramas.

Heejin, my seatmate, nudged my shoulder while clinging on his boyfriend, Seojun's arms. "Jiyeon-ah you still don't have a date?"

"Eobseo, but I'm fine with that anyway." I shortly replied.

"What do you mean you're 'fine' with that. Your beauty will be wasted. Go find a man."

"Look, I gotta go. I have a date with my girls." I told her while packing my bag.

"Wait. One last. Remember the fortune teller I talked to last week? Her predictions about my love life were right. I finally got a boyfriend now. Right Seojun?" She looked at him with puppy eyes. Seojun of course smiled to her. Okay lovebirds.

"I asked her about yours and she said-"

"You asked her about mine, Heejin?!"

"I was just curious" Heejin said.

I glared at her.

"I described you to that ahjumma an she said you are one lucky girl! You may be the least likely to get a boyfriend but once you get one, you'll be the luckiest! An actual prince! the fortune teller said." Heejin shrieked. "I'm so happy for you, Jiyeon."

"Geez. As if that's really gonna happen. I don't even believe on those, Heejin" I scoffed.

"Whatever you say. We'll see about that...perhaps soon." Heejin said teasingly.

"Whatever. I really gotta go. See you guys on Monday. Annyeong~"

We bid each other goodbye.

The hallway was crowded by annoying couples, I had to squeeze myself to get out. I still have to pick up Myungeun, Sujeong, and Yein from the junior-highschool building. I first approached Yein who was already waiting outside her classroom's door.
