november 1, 4:56 AM

"oh my god!!!" i heard nayeon shriek as i raised my head up, frowning.

"dear god, what is it now?" i rubbed my eyes.

"a nail broke!" nayeon sobbed.

"are you fucking serious?" irene was about to punch nayeon's devastaded face; i stopped her.

"save it, irene. we had to wake up anyway." i said, still holding her fist.

irene rolled her eyes and walked into the bathroom. 4:57, i checked the time and it was only 4:57 AM.

"what the fuck were doing awake at 5AM anyway?" my eyes met nayeon's.

"n-none of your business..." she wiped her tears away.

5:12 AM

as i got in the bathroom, i was greeted by a refreshing fragrance of cherries and a mesmerizing vision of cherry blossom and rose petals resting on boiling warm water. what was even better was the feeling once i got in. i sighed in relaxation and closed my eyes. i turned my favorite song on, which was iu's peach, and drifted away from my worries. iu's voice is my medicine, my happy pill, my happy place. her songs can bring you from where you are, to a completely different, happier place. i hope i get to meet her soon. i think it's safe to say that i look up to her. 'cause i do.

i wrapped a towel around my body as i made way out of the bathroom, and got dressed. today i chose to wear a long-sleeved dress with white striped going around the neckline and simple white sneakers to finish it up. i smiled at myself in the mirror. today, i am confident. it's not wrong to love yourself from time to time. right?

sneak peek :

6:38 AM
as we got in the bus, nayeon, irene, and i made our way to our usual seats in the very back. i've made it a habit to turn my music on and drift off to a better place.

7:08 AM
"oh, uh, dahyun. right?" i turned around to see jimin running up towards me.
"yes?" i pulled one earphone out.
"nothing. just thought i'd say hi." it was quiet for a few seconds and i kept a sour look all throughout. "hi." he said smiling shyly and walking away in embarrassment. i waved, but he didn't notice. i then turned to face irene and nayeon biting their nails, or must i say, fingers, off and trying quite hard to hold in their squeals.
"what? it's just jimin." and said, putting my earphone back on and proceeding with making my way to campus.
"eeeeekkkk" i heard irene and nayeon squeal. i rolled my eyes and grinned. i then turned around once more, making a gesture, telling them to come along.
"just park jimin?" nayeon cried.
"bitch, do you know how lucky you are? god i wish i was you." irene did as well.
"yeah yeah." i smirked. what's the big deal.

7:38 AM
"what's your first period?" nayeon asked both irene and i.
"history." irene said blankly.
"so is mine." i gestured for a high five but irene decided to be irene and decline my offer.
"aw. mine's english." nayeon pouted.
"sorry, nabong." i said as i tapped said girl's shoulder.
"well. i guess we'll see you around then. bye." irene and i waved to poor nayeon, going alone.

irene and i got into the classroom to find only two more empty seats. one behind jimin and one beside him. irene darted off to the seat beside him which left me with the one beside him.
"great choice of seats, ms. kim." jimin smirked.
"well, doesn't look like i had any other ones. right?"
"hm. i didn't realize that." he giggled and stared at me for 4.9 seconds. not that i was counting.
"so..." he tried but failed to start a conversation.
"so?" i laughed.
"i-." he was interrupted by mr. choi entering said classroom.

long story short, irene fangirling behind jimin, me trying to focus on mr. choi, jimin looking at me constantly. hm.
