We repeat on our daily routines such as jogging together and walk to school together. Day by day, Haneul's wound becomes a scar and eventually dissapeared. I always think that she is still beautiful no matter what was on her face.

There will be a school prom night this Friday and I haven't ask Haneul to be my partner yet. I really hope she accepts me and not other people. I asked Changbin Hyung for some ideas on how should I ask her. He said that I need to be a gentle man. I also ask for my Hyung's other opinion and they said I just need to be sincere and be fast or else I won't get her to be my prom partner.

~ The Next Day ~

While I was walking through the hallway, I see that a guy is giving a letter to Haneul in the corner. I look at them behind a wall and he touch Haneul's face. ARGHHH NO WAY. I try to calm myself down.

The guy leaves and I quickly run to her. "Hey, who's that?" I ask trying to calm myself.

"He said that she wants to be my prom partner" She says innocently.

"Did you agree???" I ask her curiously.

"Mm actually I'm waiting for someone else to ask me.. but I'll have to make a decision no matter what. I don't want to be alone at my first prom party" She fidgets with her fingers, looking down. I hold her hand and take her to the rooftop since our history teacher, Mina Saem is on a trip somewhere. She was shock as I accidently holds her hand too tight making her squeal a little.

I let go of her hand and I can see a redness around her wrist. I mouth a sorry to her and she sits next to me. "Hey Haneul, I want to prepare more of how to ask you but... but I thing someone will always get in my way," I start and I can see her cute confused face.

"Why are you looking so nervous?" She asks me.

"I wonder if... if you want to b-be my partner during the p-prom?" I stutter and I can feel my face heat up. I turn away from her and stand up. I fan my face as I get really sweaty.

Haneul gets up and hug my waist. "Wh-what are yo-"

"It's my pleasure and I do want to be your partner" She cuts me and answers slowly. "I was actually waiting for you to ask me" I turn around and find a smiling angel behind me.

She tucks her hair behind her ears and shyly look at me. What a smile. I pull her arms towards me and hug her. "Thanks, I'll try to be your prince in shining armor that night" I tell her while I hug her. My face is red as I think she can hear my heartbeats beating so fast that it can get out from my chest.

I let go of her and we both look away, embarassed. Please wait for my confession soon. We then talk for a while and then the bell rings, noticing us that our history class is over and it is time for Mathematics. We walk to our class together. On the way, a boy suddenly come up to us.

"H-haneul, can you become my partner on the prom nig-" Haneul holds my hand tight.

She bravely says, "No thanks, but I have my partner already" while smiling. I laugh and the boy make an annoyed face to me.

"What a good partner" I say to her and she laughs. Her laugh. So cute.
