More Than You Know

2. Unspoken Feelings

LE stopped in her tracks. Hani knew about her crush and didn't say anything. "What do you mean you already know? Since when?" She asked, panicked about how long Hani might have known. "For a few months now. I always saw you sneaking glances at her, they seemed harmless at first, but the more I looked, the more I noticed that they were lingering on her for a long time. Not in a creepy stare sort of way, more of a 'I want you but I'm too scared to try anything' kind of way. It'd be cute, if it also wasn't so frustrating cause I've literally been waiting for you to do something. Why haven't you?" LE was shocked. Hani was expecting her to do something, and LE was too worried on what her friends would think if they found out. "Well... it's not that I don't want to... But, I'm way to nervous. Every time I go to say something, I always change the subject, or just don't talk to her." Hani looked at her for a moment, contemplating ideas. When one finally hit her brain, she grabbed LE's arm and began to drag her. "Well, no time like the present."

"So I said to Hoseok, 'well it's not my fault your fingers broken, you shouldn't have tried to grab my foo- hey are you even listening?" Solji wasn't. She was too busy thinking about LE. How much she liked her. She wasn't paying attention to Hyerin's complaints about Hoseok stealing her food. "Sorry, I wasn't focused. Just thinking about stuff..." Hyelin slapped her arm. "Yah, listen to me. It's a serious matter. He tried to steal my food, and so I put him in his place. That place just so happened to be the nurses office," she cracked up laughing. She really could be evil sometimes. But Solji's mind was occupied by LE, and how much she wanted to tell her how she felt. "I swear if you're thinking about LE instead of my food..." Hyelin was the first to know about Solji's affection towards their friend. Solji had had a few drinks one night and ended up drunk calling her and telling her. Hyelin was surprised at first - she didn't even think Solji was gay. But once she had thought about all the staring, and the way she looked at LE, it became painfully obvious.

They had reached a cafe where they decided to get some drinks. As they sat down, Hyelin said, "look, you really should tel her. It isn't healthy to keep these sorts of things to yourself. Plus, you never know, she might fee the same." Solji scoffed at the idea. Hard as nails, aspiring rapper, no-nonsense LE, liking her? The thought was laughable to Solji. "Please, she'd never like me. She goes for more... her type. Tough guys, rappers, and most importantly... guys." Solji didn't think LE was gay, she had never given off the vibe. All of her past exes were guys, and LE had never outright said if she likes girls too. Plus, none of the girls ever asked. "Yeah, well, you won't know until you ask. She could like girls too, and if she does, the you have a chance. Plus, I ship it a lot, so please don't disappoint," she added, making Solji laugh. Hyelin had been wanting them to get together ever since she found out. She had this 'sense' that they were meant to be. Whether they were or not, Solji was too scared to find out.

"... I swear Hani I'm gonna break your arm..." Solji looked outside the window, seeing a smiling Hani and a fuming LE. She was happy that they were here, more so that LE was here. They both entered the cafe, with Hani ordering their drinks, and LE going to sit with the other two. "Hi girls, how's things?" She sat next to Solji, and her heart began racing. Both had the exact same thought: my crush is sitting next to me. They engaged in some casual talking, when Hani came back and joined in. Now that they were out of school, their topics changed to everyday life. "So, I heard Namjoon is having a party at his house on the weekend, I can try and sweet talk Hoseok into getting us in, as an apology for stealing my food," Hyelin said. "Didn't you break his fingers?" Hani asked, "Only the one... Besides, at least now he knows not to take me food." Hopefully they could get in, Namjoon's parties were legendary. He usually breaks something every time, and most of the time it's expensive. Plus, Hani thought the entire friendship group was hot.

Once the girls had finished their drinks, they prepared to leave. LE was ready to go, but Hani then reminded her why they came here to begin with. "By the way, Solji unnie, LE has something she wants to say to you," and with that, she grabbed Hyelin by the arm and dragged her off, and the confused face she had was enough for both girls to laugh. When they had regained their composure, Solji asked, "So, what did you want to tell me?" LE almost choked. She didn't want to tell her, not yet anyway. She wanted to get closed. They were close already, of course, but she wanted to be close to the point where if or when she told her how she felt, then she wouldn't laugh, or be freaked out, or angry. So she decided to lie, "I, uh.. yeah, so.. um. I was gonna ask if you, uh, w-wanted to meet up b-before Namjoon's party. If we end up going, or even if we d-don't. Just to hang out..." She felt so stupid. Stuttering like an idiot, trying to think of something good to say on the spot. It seemed to work, because Solji replied, "Sure, yeah, I'd love to. If we go to the party, we can try outfits, if we don't... we can try outfits while having a girls night." LE almost screamed. If they didn't go to the party, Solji would be staying at her house.

For the night.

Together.

Probably alone, as Hani would probably go out anyway. The thought made LE red faced, but she managed to say, "Great! Well, I'll, uh, see you tomorrow!" And she left the cafe. She could've died from embarrassment. But what she didn't notice on the way out was how big Solji's smile was.
