" keiko. " i heard hyunjin call my name, but i just ignored him and continued walking to the cafeteria with jeongin. why am i even acting this way. " i think i heard hyunjin call you a while ago. " jeongin said as we sat at the corner of the cafeteria.
" i didn't hear anything. " i said as i continued drinking the banana milk i just bought. " oh, hyunjin. " i looked behind me, where jeongin is pointing at, and saw hyunjin walking towards our table. " come with me. " hyunjin said as he grabbed my hands.
" oi, is this another one of your kabedon testing thing? " i asked, trying to remove his hands from mine as he pulled me into one of the empty rooms. " aren't you going to open the lights? "
" why are you ignoring me? " he asked back. " i'm not. " i answered while trying to find where the switch is. " if you say so. " he grabbed my hands, again, and made me lie down beside him. " oi, what are we doing here. " i asked and he just pointed at the ceiling.
i looked at the ceiling and saw paper cranes hanging with their wings shining at the bottom. i looked at him, confused, " what's with the paper cranes? "
" read it. " he said, making me look closely back at the paper cranes. " well, that's creative. " i said as i slowly noticed the pattern shown by the paper cranes' wings. " 好きです. " my eyes widened, realizing what it meant. " i like you, too. " he answered back, making my heart beat fast.
" oi, oi, oi. is this a prank? " i asked, feeling my cheeks turn red because of embarrassment. " and you have a girlfriend, right? the one you were with yesterday? the one who handed you the paper bag? the one who patted you in the head? "
" girlfriend? oh, so you're the one my cousin is talking about... " he said in an amused tone while nodding his head, as if he just understood something, " is that the reason why you're ignoring me? " he asked, smirking.
i slapped my mouth because of the things i have just said and shook my head as a no. " 付き合おう. did i say it right? " am i hearing things? " yah, keiko. aren't you going to say anything to me? "
first is suki desu and now it's tsukiaou? i am so confused right now. " you know what, i'll just say it in korean. matsushima keiko, i like you. please go out with me. " he said with a smile on his face, making my heart beat faster, leaving me silent as i try to absorb what he's saying. " silence means yes! " he exclaimed and kissed my forehead.
" uh... " we both looked at the guy who turned on the lights, " i think i'm in the wrong room. " he said, closing the lights again and started walking away.
i faced hyunjin, " i hate you, hwang hyunjin. " i said in defeat, realizing that i have feelings for him, too. " i like you more, matsushima keiko. "
