During first and fourth period, he sat next to me. (Second and third periods are different for us). He would would constantly look at me and make remarks about what the teacher was saying. Johnny would join in to, making us break into hysterics.

He held my hand to school again. It made me go insane inside. It felt like a thousand butterflies soaring through my body at once. At lunch, he asked me to sit with him. Not to lie, I was very reluctant, but he managed to get me to say yes. I could feel everyones eyes piercing at my back, but he was with me, so I was okay.

I felt ill, I think it was food poisoning, so I didn't go into school. He had realised and he called and texted me. He asked if I wanted him to come over and even though I said no, he ended up at my porch at 4pm. 

"Oh hi Mrs. Park," I could hear his voice downstairs.

"Hello? I've never seen your face around here, who are you, may I ask?" My mother asked politely.

"Ah, I'm guessing she hasn't told you yet. It's pretty early days but how about soon to be boyfriend. No, no, I already confessed, so I'm her boyfriend. Yes, I'm her boyfriend, Mark Lee," he replied, with a ting of nervousness.

"Oh goodness! Come on in child! Did you just finish school?" she welcomed him into our home. I could barely get up, yet my stomach started doing flips and turns. 

"Yes Mrs. Park, I just came along to see Hyesu. She told me she was ill."

"She did? Finally! She hasn't talked to anyone in ages. She's just always caged up in her room doing her stuff and she barely communicates with me any more."

"It's okay now though, she's got me." I could almost picture the smile on his face.

"And Mark, no need to call me Mrs. Park, just call me Leean."

"No, no, that's not polite. All women deserve to be treated properly."

"Such a gentleman! I'm glad Hyesu's dating someone like you. Anyway, do you want to go see her? She's upstairs, first door on the right."

After a few seconds, I could hear his shoes climbing up the stairs. I didn't want to look like a dying pig, so I managed heave myself up and sit up straight. He poked his head through the door and chuckled. 

"How are you still pretty while being ill!"

"Piss off," I mumble as he sits beside me and hugs me. 

"I shall never piss off. You never know when you need me."

School was slowly getting better. Over the week he introduced me to his friends and they seemed pretty chill with me. They then introduced me to their girlfriends and we all seem to get along pretty well. Obviously, there were people who still hated me, for example, Jiwoo. I caught her giving me death glares several times, but I always dismissed them. Yuta joined the school too on Monday. We get along even though we share no classes.

He kissed me goodbye. My first time. Our first kiss. I don't want to elaborate but it was cute, because he got pretty shy, real quick. I watched him run down the street, fist bumping the air. When he got to the end of the road, I could hear him scream something faintly. 

"We kissed!" 

2017.04.25, MONDAY

He didn't seem like himself. He held my hand but didn't say much, in fact, we rarely made eye contact. 

2017.04.26, TUESDAY

I saw him talk to Jiwoo for the first time. She was showing him something on her phone and he seemed pretty shocked. I decided to not to ask about it.

2017.04.29, FRIDAY

He didn't talk to me at all. He saw me and walked straight ahead. He's started to let go, like everyone else.
