If Only I Was A Little Braver | Park Jimin

제 1 장

When everyone's perfect, can we start over again?

...

"Aw come on jae, don't spoil the fun. It's like literally the first day of school!" Sohye pointed out.

"You know what's spoiling the fun? Spoiling the fun is when it was literally the last day of school like a month ago and now it's the first day again. Look at how the universe is revolving around us." I rolled my eyes as I stuffed all the unnecessary things into the locker.

"Stop with that shit. And jae, you know how close I am to being his girl! Just one more step!" Sohye pleaded as she clinged her arm around mine.

"Not to spoil the fun but you said that last year, sohye." I looked at her.

"But we're here in a new school! And he just so happens to be here as well! And come on, it's high school!" She excitedly dragged me.

"Doesn't look any better to me." I shook my head as I looked around at the filled hallway full of students murmuring.

She dragged me into the class we happened to be assigned to together.

It was kind of empty but there were a few restless figures either sleeping or doing their own things.

A few familiar faces as well.

Sohye dragged me all the way to the backseats and sat me down on one chair as she sat beside me.

Turning to face me, she had a serious expression that looked really funny on her.

"Okay so, I think he's interested in me. But I just need like another date to confirm everything. And then I'll confess." Sohye said softly yet in a determined way.

"That's some cliche shit." I gave her a disgusted look.

She returned it as she stood up straight and said, "look, it's just a damn double date. It won't be that bad."

"Yes it would. You know me, I can barely start a conversation with boys." I stated honestly, silently cursing at my weakness.

"You just need to have dinner with us. Then you can blast." Sohye even used her hands to exaggerate the movements of explosion.

I glared at her as I contemplated hard.

"Please..." She whined.

The thing is, sohye has been a really close friend of mine since middle school and there is no way I would try to disappoint her.

And this time, she just had to try me.

Just because of that one boy in the school. She was head over heels for him. But the thing was, he's a playboy.

And there's no way in hell I would dedicate my time and effort for a playboy to date my good friend when it's not even going to work out.

But she was always happy around him, and even his presence made her freak out. She liked him that much.

I've never really talked to him but the way he looks at sohye, it made me ponder on whether he even had the slightest interest in her.

It was like she was just another toy.

But he probably favoured this toy just a little more.

"You know how much I like him." She did the aegyo, which doesn't really work on me.

I've always tried to be kind around everyone.

So enemies forming wasn't my kind of thing.

I'm only a crazy freak around my friends so others who don't know me that well can't really decipher if I'm someone feminine or not.
