days passed and nothing progressed between the two, yet naeun couldn't get jaehyun' s words out of her head. "take care of him, he just moved from china."
naeun wanted to do something, yet she couldn't get over her shyness in order to do so. it was absolutely frustrating. "it's already friday and i'm useless!" she exclaimed in her head. she woken up for school at the moment, yet couldn't bring herself to get ready quite yet. he began kicking under her sheets before her eyes widened suddenly in realization.
"im being selfish. he must be scared, suddenly moving to another country. the least i can do is say hi! or even befriend him and act like myself. maybe he had trouble making friends or something. uGh how can I be so narrow minded! naeun you idiot!"

naeun was determined to talk to renjun today. in fact, she was so determined that she left early to go to the school library, leaving jaehyun and his burnt toast home again.
softly running her hands over the glossy cover of the book in front of her, she smiled in pride. she decided to let go of her fear for the sake of making renjun's life more comfortable. naeun was positive she did something good. the korean native decided to check out a chinese dictionary so she could enable herself a decent conversation with renjun, hopping he would feel more welcomed in the process.
ni hao ma? - how are you?
she silently mouthed to herself as she practiced how she would bring up a conversation with renjun, sauntering through the hallways and pronouncing a variety of basic greetings she read from the book. naeun stopped in front of the unopened door in front of the classroom, she took a deep breath, realizing what she was actually going to do. she was basically going against everything she had done this year. she was actually going to approach someone; she actually going to try to befriend someone.
walking inside the room timidly, she somewhat hoped she didn't have to confront renjun quite yet. however, this was not the case. renjun was actually where she had expected him to be, in his own seat. naeun was shaking from nervousness as soon as she caught a glimpse the the boy who had the ability to make her heart race. all he did was sit in his assigned seat, yet this left the girl in awe.
renjun on the other hand, longed to get her out of her protective shell. according the jaehyun, who he had learned was naeun's older brother, naeun was quite witty and sarcastic. renjun didn't want anything more than being able the witness the real her, but of course, he was too shy to even attempt to talk to her. moreover, naeun was completely oblivious to the boy's admiration, even if the feelings along with the obliviousness were mutual.
