Kang Daniel - Blue Spring Ride Pt. 3

A couple of days have past since the camping field trip. The final bell rang as I went over to Murao and Yuuri. "Hey guys! I'm finally free today! Wanna head down to that cafe you told me about?" Yuuri's eyes lit up with excitement as she nodded frantically while Murao gave me a small smile.

I smiled back as we walked out of school, linking arms to the cafe. I managed to look back and see Daniel on his way back home. The scene of us watching the sunrise played in my mind, but I soon forgt about it as we walked into the cafe.

After we got our food, we decided to talk about some things for a while. The knot in my stomach became tighter and tighter as I looked at Yuuri. I managed to muster up my courage and tell her.

"Yuuri-ah...". Both her and Murao looked at me in confusions as I finally spoke up. "I like Euigeon.,. I lied the first time... it's just that, I've liked him since middle school. I only lied so I wouldn't get in the way and lose you as a friend. But if you really care about me.. you won't mind if I say that I wanna fight for Euigeon's heart against you.."

Yuuri looked at me in shock for a bit before a smile appeared on her face. "It's okay (Y/N).. besides this is Euigeon's choice. Let the best girl win!" I nodded as Yuuri stood up. "I'll be back. Just need to go use the washroom.." I nodded as I watched her go, with the feeling that she would let her emotions out. And I was right.

The next day, as I was walking to class, I heard someone call my name. I turned around and saw Seongwoo with his friends. I smiled as we talked on our way to class. "So, how have you been (Y/N)-ssi? I haven't seen you since the trip.." I noddded as I put a loose strand of hair behind my ear. "I've been good Seongwoo -ssi. It's a shame we're in different classes."

Seongwoo nodded as he took out his phone. "Why don't we exchange numbers? I've been meaning to get to know you more.." I nodded as we exchanged numbers and walked our separate ways.

I walked into class to see Daniel not in his seat. I went up Murao and asked as she looked at his desk. "He's been a way for a while actually.. Something about a friend of his.. He'll probably be back tomorrow.." I nodded as I went back to my seat. I stared at Daniel's empty desk as the teacher walked in and started class.

Days had passed with no word from Daniel. It wasnt until today when jwnlaked in to see him asleep on his desk. I sighed in relief as I went over to him and slapped his back. "Yah! Why haven't you told us where you were?! Do you know how worried we were?"

Daniel groaned as he stretched his arms. "Sorry... I was helping a friend. She's moving from Busan and coming to school here in Seoul." My heart dropped a bit when I heard 'she' but shook it off. "Just.. answer in a while, okay?"

I sat down in my seat as the teacher walked in with a paper. "Class, we just get ready for the school festival. Our class was given one of the big side attractions so we need to come up with something that will Please the students and their families. Any ideas?"

Out of nowhere, someone shouted out "Gender-swap Cafe!" Everyone agreed with the idea, including me. I smiled as I looked back at Daniel who was sleeping on his desk.

After a week or two of preparations, the school festival finally started. Yuuri, Murao and I were dressed in fitted tuxedos while Daniel and Kominato were in puffy maid dresses. I laughed a bit as I watched Daniel try and pull his dress down, only to have it spring back up.

A while later, I noticed Daniel looking out for someone. I walked over and looked in the direction he was. "Are you looking for someone?" Daniel looked at me and nodded. "Remember that friend who moved here from Busan.. she coming today...there she is."

I looked over and saw a pretty young girl, with her black hair at her shoulders. She was wearing a a shirt tucked into her jeans with a cardigan over it. "Euigeon! You look so funny!" Daniel looked at me and pointed at the girl. "(Y/N), this is Jawahir. She's my friend from Busan. Her dad died so she's in the same boat as me. She was the one who comforted me when I first moved to Busan. Here Jawahir, I'll show you to your table."

I watched in silence as Jawahir walked alongside Daniel to a table. I felt a pang in my chest as I continued to serve people. 'Of course.. she knows him better than me... I could never comfort him like she did.." As I was serving, I heard my name.

I turned to the cafe entrance and saw Seongwoo holding his bass. I smiled as I walked over. "Hey Seongwoo-ssi. Wow, you play bass? That's so cool!" Seongwoo rubbed the back of his neck as he nodded. "Yeah.. I was wondering if you would be able to come watch my performance at 2:00?" I thought for a while but nodded. "That sounds amazing! I have my break than too. I'll be there."

As I turned around, I saw Daniel looking at me before turning his attention back to Jawahir. I shrugged my shoulders as I counted down the hours to 2:00. Once my break came, I got changed into more comfortable clothes and went to the theatre where the performance would be.

I walked in to see Seongwoo and his band already playing . As I tried to find a place to see better, I saw Daniel beside me. He seemed to be trying to tell me something, But I couldn't understand it.

A few moments later, out of nowhere, I felt someone bump into me as Daniel's and my lips connected. No one saw due to the performance except Seongwoo, who stopped playing for a bit. I broke the kiss and ran off as Daniel followed me.

I walked into our classroom, which was empty as Daniel entered looking for me. "I'm sorry about the ki-" before he could finish, I cut him off. "Forget about it. It's fine. I'm fine.. I guess.."

Daniel sighed as he walked closer "What did I say about letting everything out? You don't have to put on a smile. You know I'm here to help." Before he could finish, his cellphone rang. I glanced at the caller ID and saw 'Jawahir'. I sighed as Daniel looked at me before putting his phone away.

"I got to go. I'm sorry, I'll talk to you later." I saw him run out of the room, and for some reason, I followed him. I kept running and running and I finally found Daniel across the street hugging Jawahir.

Just as I was about to run across, someone pulled me into a hug as a huge truck drove by. I turned around and saw Seongwoo. Tears brimmed my eyes as Seongwoo walked be back to school. I took one last glance behind me to see the two gone.
