i finish my burger in no time and munch on my fries as i patiently wait for hyojong to finish his last bites of food.

"i see you enjoyed your burger." he says, chuckling a bit. i nod, smiling a little. "it was nice." i answer.

he tilts his head as he looks at me. i awkwardly make eyecontact and i feel my face flush to a light  pink color almost immediatly. why is he making me act this way?

he shuffles his chair closer to me, making my heart almost beat out of my chest. why did he decide to sit next to eachother? he soflty takes my hand. what is he trying to do?

"HYOJONG!"

i scare both me and him. i quickly cover my mouth. "sorry." i mumble from behind my hands.

i gather up my courage and ask him. "don't you have a girlfriend?"

he scratches the back of his head as he bites his lip. "i do, but c-can't i take my friends hand?" he asks me, also turning pink.

i have never felt so embarrassed in my life before. ofcourse he wouldn't like someone like me. i'm so damn naive.

i feel like banging my head on the nearest wall. i'm so so stupid. i don't even like him, so why am i acting like this?

HYOJONG POV

"dont you have a girlfriend?" she asks me, as she pulls her hand back. ouch. how do i cover this up, think hyojong.

"i do, but c-cant i hold my friends hand?" i hesitantly ask her.

i can feel my face burning. i really do like her, but i cant leave my 'girlfriend'. she knows too much of me and she would just ruin my life and the next person i get close with. she is a manipulative bitch, but my mom adores her. she knows absolutly nothing.

"oh..." she mumbles, tucking her hair behind her ear. "im sorry for overreacting then." she adds.

"no no, i shouldn't have done it." i say, patting her shoulder lightly. "come on i'll take you home."

she nods, jumping of the high chair and she makes her way back to the car without a word.

why is everything so bleh.
