Jaeun's POV

Well it turns out , Yewon had a temporary amnesia but she's fine now which is good. However the girls that bullied her were suspended from school.

It made me felt bad because indirectly it's caused by me , which made me the cause of her current situation.

What a good day for it to be my birthday ?

I walked to class with a heavy heart , imagine your friend getting bullied because of you , on your birthday.

I sat down on my desk as I stared out of the window to see the sky is getting darker as all the dark clouds gathered together and went against the clear , blue skies.

" I'm so sle- " I turned around to see Guanlin walking out of the class the moment he saw me.

I stood up and ran after him.

" Wait ! " I grabbed his wrist to stop him from walking away but he yanked my hand away instead and continued walking.

This is why I hate love.

Once you have a crush on someone , it's hard to be just normal friends again. I didn't want to hurt Guanlin , especially our friendship but i'm afraid that if I were to accept him , we would be the one hurting even more.

As his figure slowly disappeared , I pouted as I walked back to class and sat at my desk again as students slowly poured in.

I looked over at Guanlin's seat to see no one.

" You should be smiling today ! " Seolhyun said and Hanbyul nodded but I can't smile.

" What's with that sad f- " Daehwi smacked Jinyoung on the back as Jinyoung glared back at him. Daehwi whispered something to him and Jinyoung's eyes widened.

" I didn't mean to. " Jinyoung said and I shook my head as I shot him a slight smile before looking down at my hands.

" You guys should head back to your seats before the teacher comes. " They nodded as they dispersed back to their own individual desks.

Guanlin came in and sat on his seat without even looking around or at anyone to be more exact. His eyes are just glued to his phone as his fingers are moving around.

I sighed as I laid my head on my arms and I closed my eyes , this year would be the worst birthday ever.

It was supposed to be my sweet 16th , that's why my parents actually allowed me to travel to Jeju with my friends.

My parents celebrated my birthday with me in advance a couple days back and it was amazing. They bought me gifts and I love it.

My mom bought me a new lap top since I needed it for school and my previous one was pretty old. My dad bought me a pair of shoes while Kibum bought me a few boxes of Tokyo banana from Tokyo since I love them so much.

Back to reality , it isn't as happy as I imagined it to be yesterday.

Suddenly , A figure walked in and I thought it was the teacher but it's actually Yewon. She smiled as She sat behind me as everyone shot daggers at her.

" Are you okay now ? " She nodded.

" Thank you for everything , especially about just now. Without you , I'm not even sure if I would be able to survive that hit ! " She chuckled.

" Dude ! Nothing is going to happen to you ! " I touched the desk since it's made of wood and there's a superstition which says that if you said something bad , touch something that is made out of wood to kind of , disperse the evil or something.

" Honestly , I've seen this coming. I mean , I hurt you and people often likes you so I could see why i'm being bullied. " I patted her shoulder.

" Despite that , I think that you've changed for the better and that's all that matter. " I smiled , she nodded and smiled.

Yewon did changed for the better and i'm honestly surprised that she doesn't hate me anymore.

" Why didn't Guanlin talk to you ? " I pout and I told her the whole story and she seemed shocked.

" Honestly ,  Guanlin told me everything on the day of the accident. He told me to leave you alone otherwise he would do anything just to get back at me. " I looked over at him.

We made a brief eye contact but I swear , my heart doesn't react as if it's just a brief eye contact.

" You like him a lot , Don't you ? " I shook my head.

" Your face says it all. " She chuckled as she pinched my cheeks and I look like a chipmunk. Literally a chipmunk.

" Cute ! " She squealed.

I glared at her as she chuckled at my furious face.

Just then the teacher came in and the lesson started as per normal and every student took out the materials needed.

I realized I didn't bring my textbook as I nervously looked around and literally everyone brought theirs except me.

The person next to me tapped me before tossing to me a textbook.

" Guanlin passed it to you. " He winked at me before putting his attention back to the textbook.

I turned to look at Guanlin but he just looked away as if nothing happened. I wanted to thank him but then I realized that he would get into trouble instead of me.

" Lai Guanlin , why didn't you bring your book ? " The teacher asked and he just said that he had forgotten to bring it.

He got detention and I felt really bad.

" Hey ! " I stood in front of his desk as he was about to walk out of the classroom. He turned to look at me.

" Thanks for just now , I- "

He just walked away.

Is he really going to ignore me forever if I didn't give him an answer ?

I chased after him and this time I didn't let him get away. I'm going to say it once and for all , i'm not sure if I would regret my decision.

" Follow me. " I grabbed his wrist as I pulled him to the sky garden and that's where I saw him and thought that he looks rather good I guess.

" What do you want ? " I stared at him.

" This. " I tiptoed and kissed him on his lips.

Let's just hope I will not regret it , not even a single bit.
