Hyejin's POV

"I-uh-I don't really know-uh-I mean-You're sweet and all but-uh-maybe-uh-no-argh-"

"Maybe I'll find out soon when you figure out your own feelings." He smiled then ruffled my hair like a dog getting patted.

thu-thump. thu-thump.

Is that a feeling in your heart, I see?

Uh, no.

Do you like him, by any chance?

I promise you, I don't.

Let's see.

"See you tomorrow, Hyejin." He smiled then went forwards. He then kissed my forehead.

"Take care of yourself, okay?"

I think you do.

"Chaeyoung?"

"Yeah, Hyejin?"

"What is this feeling?" She looked at me with a clueless expression.

"What do you mean?" She chuckled.

"This feeling in your heart. Do you know this feeling of when you look at someone and your stomach suddenly craves in on itself? And even if its just a second, you literally cannot breathe. Do you know how it feels when your mind draws a blank? Your throat then tightens up like a coiled rose gripping around a suffocating neck. No? Well, even if you don't, you should know that's what he does to me."

"You like someone, don't you?"

"Like, as in, like-like?"

"What are you talking about?" She laughs as she scrolls in her phone.

"What do you mean by like?! This feeling is making me crazy!!" I fell on my bed. My face on it. I rolled to the other side then sat up.

"You're going crazy. You were never like this since you met Hobi." She smiles. Not showing her teeth.

"Hobi?! Yah, I told you. I don't like him. Hmph." I scoffed then crossed my arms.

Finally, something struck Chaeyoung's head.

"HYEJIN!!"

I jumped out of sudden noise. "Yah, what's with the sudden shout of name?!" I shouted back at her.

"This is it!! How you'll get away from this crippling depression!! Well, mine is memes bUT-"

"What?"

"Ugh, you don't get it. I'll help you through this stage, okay?" She smiled so widely.

I let out a little smile.
