bae joohyun

the school bell rang; which signaled that lunch hour is now over.

everyone was already coming in the classroom, one by one. and yet i was still searching for a damn notebook.

"where is it? where on earth did it go?" i mumbled a few more times as i took out everything from my bag; both books and notebooks. i checked under my desk, and messed up my locker in the process.

i can't remember where i left it. eotteoke?

"joohyun-ah, don't talk to yourself and tell us what you're looking for already." i heard seulgi, with her and wendy walking up to me. i guess i was fussing over about it too much that she noticed, but "nah, it's not a big deal anyway."

"not a big deal my butt! you look like your dog just died. and you don't have any dogs."

"seulgi! shh!" wendy pushed seulgi to the side and grabbed my hand, showing that warm smile. "i can check the lost of found for you if you want." she insisted, but i refused.

"are you sure? you look like you're having a hard time. are you sick?"

it was just a purple notebook anyway, i'm fine.

"it's not that important, don't mind me. don't worry." i faintly smiled, standing up from my seat "i just don't feel so good. i'll be in the infirmary if the teachers look for me."

i grabbed my bag and left the two in the dark, without telling them anything.

honestly, this wasn't the first time i lost something. it never bothered me, yet for some reason this notebook was special. it was different from the other ones that had the same exact content from my daily life.

that notebook was taehyung's. and most importantly, it was written for me.

but i had it with me when i watched the game..did i leave it in the gym?

"excuse me lady."

"oh." i came back to my senses as i noticed that i was blocking someone's path. it's because i was standing right in front of a door, ofcourse he would glare.

i moved aside and watched the guy enter the room. oh. i guess he's going to the nurse's office too.

"miss nurse, is yerim here?"

i was standing behind the man, quietly waiting in line to be admitted when i overheard the conversation. yerim, he was looking for yerim?

"oh, she's not here today."

the guy's shoulders dropped as he sighed, "is that so? then can you please tell her i stopped by."

he turned his back and was surprised to see me standing so close behind him. "i'm sorry." i said, looking at him in the eye.

he was tall, he had big eyes, a big nose, small lips and dark hair. he looks like he's about the same age as yerim.

"ah. no. i didn't see you." he nodded, and immediately moved out of my way. but before i could even talk, the nurse called him out.

"by the way, are you in the same class as yerim? i'll tell her that you came by. what's your name?"

"ah. no. i'm not her classmate." he shyly replied. "i'm her boyfriend."

"jeon jungkook."
