"jihyo! there you are. i was looking for you." jeong exclaimed that made me chuckle. "i told you, i would just buy some snacks." i said still with a chuckle.

"oh, right. i forgot." she said scratching the back of her head. "jihyo..." she calls out while i hand her some snacks. i hummed in response. "i like you." she said bluntly.

it stopped me for a while. i'm still trying to function it in my mind. i looked at her and she staring at me into my eyes. "jihyo, i like you. please accept my feelings." she said.

we felt the same. "jeongyeonie. i like you too." i mumbled but enough for her to hear. i feel shy about my feelings. her eyes then smiled same with her lips. "woohoo. jihyo's mine." she exclaimed.

i reddened and hold her to stop. she's too cute.

"so, who is it?" she asks me. i smiled at her. "what do you mean?" she then turned serious. "i was asking you something but you're not listening. i guess you're thinking bout someone." jeongyeon said.

i chuckled a little. "it's you, pabo." i mumbled. i hope she didn't heard. she then pouts. still doesn't suit her. i laughed. "ok. i'd better listen now. the ms. might notice us." she says and puts her attention to the teacher.

i chuckled. so cute. i missed this jeongyeon. but isn't she supposed to be angry and mad about everything that has happened between us then? she's supposed to hate me. i don't want her to hate me. but she's supposed to.

it's my fault anyways. if only i did what could make us happy. lunch came and we ate together. as she chumps on the food, i think it's time to bring it up. "jeongyeon..." she then looks at me.

"don't you remember me?" i continued. she then stays quiet for a while. "of course, i do. i still remember you. you're park jihyo. my train." she said. my eyes widened. train? she used that nickname again. i slapped her arm lightly.

"of all thing why that?" i joked. she then smiled. "it's better to remember the good ones than those bad times. and i really want us to start over. but only as friends." the last sentence struck a shard of glass into my heart. it hurts me.

i tried to looked composed. "alright. but stop that sad tone. it will make me cry." i said jokingly. she then chuckled.

yoo jeongyeon didn't change, aside from the fact that she became stronger since the last time i saw her. the last time we talk. the last time when i thought it will be us till the end. just like every fairytale told to everyone.

i still held unto something that i know won't happen.
