Kyungsoo's POV
"Happy birthday!! "
"Congrats, bro, you're one year older now. "
"Happy bornday! "
"Oppa!! I left your birthday present in your locker, remember to take it! "
I walked through the corridors in school, thanking everyone who wished me a happy birthday.
I just got to school an hour ago yet almost the entire student population had wished me.
But this one girl hasn't said anything, and I minded it a lot.
Sometimes I wonder if she even knew I existed, which hurt me deeply.
Ever since she transferred to our school a few months ago, I had grown attached to her, but I knew that we weren't possible since the closest interaction we ever had was only when she asked to borrow a pen from me but that was weeks ago.
I usually get alone well with everybody, but when it comes to her, I'm just frozen, always making a fool out of myself in front of her.
I groaned internally, looking across the classroom to where she was seated at.
When will you realise the feelings I have for you?

School went by in a flash, and although everyone gave me lots of their attention today, all I wanted was just a glance from her.
To at least acknowledge my presence.
School was over long ago and as I was making my way back from school, I passed by a convenience store and coincidentally saw her.
My mind told me to just walk away out of shyness but my heart told me to wait outside the shop for her to come out, so that was what I did.
"Oof. "
Soon, a silhouette stepped out of the store and made her way in the direction opposite of where I was facing.
I grabbed her wrist lightly.
"(y/n)... "
She widened her eyes upon meeting my gaze as her lips parted.
"... yes? " her soft voice sounded in my ears.
"Ah, uhm, so, you see... " incoherent words tumbled out of my mouth repeatedly.
She let out a soft laugh, cocking her head to a side to let me continue.
"I like you. "
I don't know where I got my new found courage from, but I felt like a weight had been lifted off me once the three words have been said.
"Sorry, what? "
"I like you, and for a long time already. But you don't have to accept me or anything because I know you don't like me, heck I don't think you even knew I existed so I'll take my leave now, I'm sorry. " my head hung low as I squeezed my eyes shut in embarrassment.
"... but I like you too. Happy birthday, by the way. "
I looked up to lock eyes with (y/n) as she smiled warmly at me.
This must be the best birthday present ever.
