You and Your Crush (one shots)

Valentine's Day

Today's Valentines day. A day for couples to be more affectionate. But for single people, like me, it's just a normal day. Sprinkled with love in the air.

Walking through the halls with my music blasting Ms. Right by BTS, wasn't helping with how sick I
felt about this day. I am a hopeless romantic, or at least I think I am. But once this day comes around the corner, all I want to do is lock myself in my room and listen to Promise by EXO.

I turned the volume down a bit and walked to the foyer. My locker was on the other side of the building from where I enter. As I got closer to the foyer, I could hear the the girls squealing from how there boyfriends decorated their locker. The squealing was practically everywhere.

You could say I'm jealous. But honestly, if I ever have a boyfriend, public affection would be minimal.

I unlocked my locker and started shoving my books in my bag. I looked at my mostly Kpop decorated locker and noticed something that didn't fit. "Huh. Why didn't I see that before? And who the fuck knows my combo?!" I whispered.

There was a geometric glass pyramid that had a quote, "Be yourself, you're perfect to me." The pyramid was on top of a card and a bag of gummy worms.

I opened the card and read,

Erika, all I need to say is, there's other surprises later.
P.S., don't blame Kira

"Who did you tell Kira? You better have a good excuse." I whisper to myself. I put the card back under the pyramid and threw the bag of gummy worms in my bag. I sat in front of my locker and waited for Kira.

Finally, after 10 minutes my best friend Kira joined me. "Who's the creep you gave my combo to?" I said straightforwardly.

"That, I cannot say. He'll meet you up though, I swear. But really I'm sorry about doing that." Kira told me. "It's ok, I guess." I mumble.

Kira continues, "But I do know one thing, you'll be really happy when you find out who it is. Your single since birth thing might even end today."

"First of all, my heart is taken by my longtime crush. My mind is filled with Kpop trash, from Suga's gummy smile to singing dinosaur/camel Chen. And lastly my whole self is just-just, well words can't explain me. I do a lot of activities my whole self is in a whole different dimension." I tucked my earbuds safely away and held onto my phone.

"I already know all of that-" Kira was cut of by the bell ringing indicating to get your ass in you classrooms or you'll end up staying your whole break in that room. "Just trust me, alright?" She said walking the opposite way of where I was heading. Before she was out of my sight I yelled out, "I'll trust you!"

Soon I was walking to my second period, which I had with my crush and Kira. I waited in front of the classroom for Kira. She showed up at the same time as the teacher, "Great timing." I whispered to her. She gave me a fake smile and we headed to our seats.

In the middle of class a person came in and gave out a box of chocolate to random people. One of them being me. I was surprised at first but then remembered the announcements, 2nd period on Valentine's day: Box of Chocolates, last period/4th period on Valentine's day: roses.

I then remembered what I found in my locker earlier. So this is what he meant, I thought.

Class ended, Kira and I went to our locker to get our lunches. We sat in front of my locker, "Ha~ isn't it a wonderful day?" She said randomly, "In a few hours you'll meet your future husband."

"What're you saying? My future husband is Jimin and-"

"I'm serious when I say this, the wait is almost over. You won't be single after this day."

"Okay cupid, I get it." I said sarcastically before digging into my lunch. I could tell that she was being serious. But she knows that the only person I want to marry is Ken Hattari. There were times when I wanted to move on from my childish crush. But everytime I try, I always end up liking him again. It's as if I'm tied to him and the string that connects us just keep getting shorter and shorter.

Lunch was over and Kira and I walked quickly to our next class. Then time went faster and I was soon in my last class. Already hoping to receive flowers, I waited patiently. Luckily I was in my art class and we got to do anything. Since, you know, we artists need inspiration from time to time.

I sat at my desk, pencil and paper out. And to get inspiration I was listening to Love Maze by BTS. Suddenly 3 roses were placed on my desk. I looked up and around, my friend, Yumi, also received roses. I smiled and packed up my stuff, as the school day was drawing to an end. As I picked up the roses a note fell and I picked it up. Suddenly the bell rang so I held onto the note tightly and walked to my locker.

Once I got to my locker, I decided to read the note.

Please wait for me at your locker

So I did what the note said, I waited at my locker. My bag was packed with my homework, card, and lunchbag. But I wasn't sure whether I should leave my pyramid in my locker or bring it with me and risk the walk home. Bu~t I remembered that I had a small gift bag in my bag from a present Kira gave me.

So with the roses and gift bag at hand I waited.

Author's pov *after 5 minutes

"K-ken?" Erika asked shocked by the sudden appearance of Ken in front of her.

"H-hey." Ken waved.

Ken was nervous but he managed to say, "Let's go." Stupidly though, Erika, being true to her words, said, "Sorry, but I'm waiting for someone, or as Kira said, my future husband."

Ken blushed at the mention of future husband. He's known Erika Kim for a few years. Over those years, the only girl that crosses his mind at random times, was Erika. Today was the day he planned to confess to Erika.

"I'm that someone. Look Erika, I just wanted to say how much you've been on my mind. I'll tell you the awkwardest time you crossed my mind. It was back when I was talking to my mom, she was asking a bunch of questions. Then suddenly, I blurted out your name." I continued babbling then Erika cut me off.

"So are you saying you like me? Like no joke. This isn't just some prank, right?"

"I like you. Trust me I wouldn't prank you like this. This is something not to joke about." Ken replied.

"Do you want me to be your girlfriend?" Erika asked. Ken was somehow surprised, he didn't think Erika would ask him something like that.

"I want to be your boyfriend. So let's go, I'll walk you home." Ken emphasized the words I and your. And he took her empty hand and held onto it tightly.

They had small conversations here and there, and once they were at Erika's house they exchanged numbers.

Everyday after that day was normal. With a few special glances from the two to each other. And everyday after school they would have some couple time.

They were a really strong couple, even with personal problems they never let go of each other. And as Erika wanted, public affection was minimal.

Years went on, they graduated both college and high school, and now they're living in their own apartment planning their wedding.
