                            The Second Day

I woke up at 5:00 in the morning to start getting ready for my morning classes. As I do this I start thinking to myself.
     'The other night was really strange. I just hope that I don't see that figure again.' Then, as I walk to the kitchen of my dorm room, I happen to glance out the window to see that the weather looks the exact same as it did that night.
     'Great!! Just what I wanted to see! Ugh, Nari, just ignore it. It's just the weather. It's not like you are tired enough to see that figure again.' I continue to the kitchen and eat my breakfast which consists of: a fried egg, toast, and some leftover rice (sadly I don't have kimchi right now. Can't afford it right now and my mom won't make any for me). I go back to my room to finish getting ready after I finish eating. When I get to my room I do my basic skincare, pull on some sweatpants, a T-shirt, my favorite hoodie, pack a bag with my dance shoes and a pair of shorts to change into if I need it, and I grab my school bag then head out. I stop by the door to put on my sneakers before before I start my walk to campus. As I am walking I unconsciously stop near the same trees as the other night and when I glance over at them, I see Jimin standing by them looking into the trees. Then, suddenly, he looks my way and sees me so he yells "NARI!! WANNA WALK TO CLASS WITH ME?!?" "SURE" I yell back. So, I wait for him.
    'What's he doing by the trees?' When he finally got over to me we started to walk, which was in silence for a bit. Then out of the blue he says something that perplexes me.
     " You look pretty today" Jimin says shyly. "Thank you" I say back, equally as shy. 'He can't possibly think that I look pretty today, I'm wearing sweats and a hoodie!' " Do you want to hang out tomorrow since we don't have class?" I ask. "Sure! Can I get your number so we can talk about where and what time? And just to talk in general?" he asks. Suddenly I feel myself start to blush, so I rush to hide my face. To do that I started to walk faster than normal so that Jimin can't see me blush, but I hear his pace pick up.
'Why? I know that I said that I'd walk to class with him, but why can't I just be walking in front of him?!' "Are you blushing?" He whispers in my ear as he snuck up on me "NO! Why would I be?!" I respond. "Because a handsome man just complimented you" he responded. "Yeah right!" I yell "but you are handsome" I whisper to myself. "I heard that" Jimin said as he laughed. This made me blush even more. ' Why?!?!' I hear Jimin laugh even louder for a reason I don't know. He suddenly grabs my hand and starts running to class, but right before that I see another figure just like the one I saw the other night but larger.
