Just one smile

Chapter 1

Everybody knows that Gong Hina has a huge crush on Na Jaemin.

Na Jaemin, the 'superstar' of the school. With good looks, ranks first in school academics and has all kind of skills including sports like badminton and swimming. He even participated in school festivals where he sang and danced along with his other classmates. There was even a rumor that several entertainment companies like SM and JYP tried to cast him because of his looks and talents. All the girls want him while all the boys wanted to be like him.

Just say his name and everyone knows him so it's no surprise that at least half of the female population in the school likes him, including Hina.

Hina first saw Jaemin during their first year in school when she was walking past the room next to theirs. Jaemin was standing in front of the door of their classroom, talking to one of his classmates which name Hina later found out as Donghyuck. Such words like 'wow' and 'daebak' came out from her mouth the moment she saw him. Hina was sure that she was not the only one who was stunned after seeing him. All her friends, later on, told her that they liked Jaemin too.

It's too bad that they are not classmates but Hina and her friends would always walk past their classroom in order to see him. Sometimes, they would ask one of Jaemin's classmates to take a picture of him using their phones. During Valentine's day, they would give him chocolates and letters.

In their third year, Hina became classmates with Jaemin. Because of that, Hina's feelings for Jaemin grew even more. The new semester means new classmates so they created a new group chat room and she was able to add Jaemin as her friend in Katalk. Although they aren't that close, everybody knew that she liked Jaemin because of how she and her friends behaved before when he was around. Her classmates would tease her.

Hina got to know him more when they became classmates. Turns out, he wasn't really that tsundere type of guy. Jaemin can be mischievous especially when he's around with Donghyuck. They would always joke around and he would do aegyo when his classmates asked him to.

When Hina found out that Jaemin's favorite was the custard bun in front of their school, she would always buy one for him every day. She would happily greet him 'Good morning' and will give him his favorite custard bun. At first, Jaemin would shyly decline it but Hina would insist. It became her daily routine every day.

Later on, Jaemin would thank him through Katalk. "Thank you for the custard bun but you don't really have to do that"

"Ah, don't worry! I'm actually close with the vendor so she would always give me one every day. I know you liked it and since I don't really like custard bun, it would be rude for me to decline it, right? So I'll just give it to you" She replied, but it was actually a lie. She wasn't really that close to the vendor and she actually likes custard buns.

"Is that so? Okay then!" Jaemin answered.

Every day, Hina would send a morning greeting to him before she prepares for school. Jaemin would always reply back. They grew close because of that.

"Hina, aren't you tired of doing that?" Herin, one of Hina's friends asked her one morning. "Look at you, buying custard bun every day for him. I'm so sure he's sick of it already"

"I don't think so? If he's sick of it I think he'll tell me" Hina answered back.

"What if he's too shy to tell you, or you are insisting that's why he couldn't tell you?" Herin replied back.

Hina looked at her friend and contemplated it. "Well, I'm not sure about that"

"How about this, give him one today and then let's hide somewhere and see if he's eating what you're giving to him?" Herin suggested.
