Choi Sooyoung's POV
I sat down on the wooden chair as I leaned down and propped my chin on top of my arms. My classes ended an hour ago and I stayed in our classroom for a while, too lazy to go home. Well actually, I have to attend our basketball practice later so yeah, I really have to stay for a bit.
I slid my hand down my pocket and grabbed a particular candy and popped it inside my mouth, the flavor slowly melting.
"You never get tired of that candy, huh, Sooyoung..." My childhood friend, Taeyeon, told me as she took the seat beside me. "You've eaten the same kind for years."
"I never really noticed."
Once I remember how it tastes, I can't hold myself back. It's like a sweet poison... it brings out memories eating the same candy.
"You want one, Taeng?"
"No!" she quickly exclaimed as I let out a soft chuckle. She really hated the flavor of the candy ever since.
She copied my position, propping her chin on top of her arms as we both stared at the sight before us. The large window of the classroom gives us a full view of the students outside. They’re in their P.E. uniforms so I’m guessing they’re doing outdoor activities. Taeyeon and I watched them as we started chatting about random stuff.
"So..." she started. "What did you want to talk about?"
I turned to her as my tongue continued playing on the candy inside my mouth. I remembered, I told her earlier to see me after class because I have something to ask and now here she is, starting it.
"Well, uhm..." I rubbed my nape and averted my gaze away from her, thinking of ways to start. "It's about--
Before I could continue, Taeyeon cut me off and suddenly stood up, surprising me a bit with her sudden outburst. She pointed outside and my eyes followed, freezing in my spot when I saw a certain blonde.
"Oh, it's Jessica Jung from Class 3-A!"
My face scrunched up as I flinched at the name. Coincidence, eh?
"There should be laws against being as smart and as pretty as she is..." Taeyeon began rambling about the girl, not pulling her finger away and continued pointing. "I haven't heard news about her having a boyfriend, but she probably does..."
I sighed and closed my eyes.
Jessica Jung... Jessica Jung... Jessica Jung...
My mind keeps saying her name as my heart starts beating fast. She occupied my mind and left no space for other thoughts but her. Why am I like this?
"Hey, she's looking this way!" I snapped out from my thoughts when I heard Taeyeon and my eyes widened, my body suddenly reacting on its own and I quickly ducked down to hide but when I did, I hit my head on the chair causing me to stumble and fall.
“Ouch...” I yelped and held my throbbing head. Taeyeon helped me up and slapped my arm.
"Yah, what are you doing?"
"N-Nothing..." I stuttered, smiling nervously at her.
She looked back at the window and sighed. "Aww, she disappeared already."
I sat back down on the chair and heaved a sigh of relief. Seriously... Just when I was about to tell Taeyeon about her and she already sensed it, like she has some sort of powers or something.
Taeyeon also went back to her seat as she turned to me, going back to the conversation earlier. "What is it again?"
I thought for a while now... Should I really tell Taeyeon? I mean, about Jessica Jung?
