Omona Boy's

Ch. 2

"You like Mark don't you?" I ask.

The wind had just picked up and my hair was blowing into my eyes. Taecho's hair, which is much shorter, was staying in place.

"What does it matter?" Taecho asks handing me a bobby pin.

"Gamsahamnida!" I say taking it and pulling my hair out of my face. "By the way it does matter. Just because you don't think someone would like you doesn't mean they don't. The world is full of so many possibilities." I add smiling.

"I have no chance Ji Min." Taecho replies melancholy.

I rub my arms while watching a leaf fly through the air and land in front of someone in the distance.

"We should get to class." Taecho says.

"You're right." I say turning my attention back to her.

We walk across the street and up the stairs to the school. It had rained last night and I accidentally step in a puddle. The water splashes but doesn't get on me or my shoes. I hurry up the rest of the steps and open the door for Taecho, but a lot of others follow in behind her.

"Good grief." I say as I finally get into the school.

"I'll see you at lunch." Taecho says before walking to her first class.

I groan as I start walking to my first class which is Japanese.

"Ji Min!" BamBam says popping out of no where.

"Goodness BamBam!" I reply.

I look at him and smile. His hair is slightly tussled from the wind outside and I have to keep myself from reaching up and fixing it. I notice the tip of his bangs are still pink and just slightly faded. I blush a bright red as I realize I have been staring too long and turn my face to the ground.

"We should get to class." He says nudging me a little.

I follow him to class and take my seat behind Yugyeom who smiles at me.

The bell rings and the teacher starts lecturing. I hear her mention that we will be doing a project and that there will have to be one group of three. Out of the corner of my eye I see BamBam raise his hand to volunteer to be the group of three.

"All right BamBam. Who would you like to be partnered with?" Our teacher asks.

"Yugyeom and Ji Min." He replies.

The teacher writes that down and I start to feel sick. I wait for class to end and head straight to the restroom. Once inside I hurry to the sink and splash water in my face before pacing back and forth. Someone knocks on the door and I stop.

"Are you ok?" BamBam asks through the door. "Eat lunch with me and Yugyeom so we can discuss our project."

I walk out of the bathroom and find BamBam and Yugyeom waiting.

"Follow me." BamBam tells me as he starts walking.

I follow behind and we are soon at their lunch table. I can feel everyone's eyes on me as I sit down. A long awkward silence follows until Mark decides to speak.

"It's Ji Min, right?" Mark asks politely.

"Yeah. We have math with her!" JR announces loudly.

I look at Jackson expectantly as he shoves his mouth full of chips. He soon notices me staring and smirks.

"No one told me Ji Min was sitting with us today." Jackson finally says.

"Me either." Jaebum says less rude than I expected.
