"yah! what are you talking about? don't listen to him." i told the teacher that i'm quite close to and she chuckled. "i get it, don't deny. i'll bring jinni here."

"i swear! can you don't say such things?" unknowingly, my cheeks started burning. "aye, you're blushing." i touched my cheeks, "i'm not! it's hot okay." i rolled my eyes. "because your sunshine is beside you." and he just laughed.

"unnie!" jinni called out and i held her hands. "our jinni, was today fun?" jinni nodded and this definitely brought back some memories from kindergarten. "oppa!!" she just then noticed about haechan's presence. "aren't you going to hug me? i'm sad already!" he pouted and jinni ran to hug him.

"oppa! i love you!" she said as haechan picked her up. "so you don't love me anymore?" i folded my arms as i looked down on the floor. "unnie! aren't you part of oppa already? if i love him, it means that i love you!" i looked at her shocked. "jinni! what are you talking about?" and i laughed.

"you're right, jinni. she's part of me already." i don't know why but it just makes me feel happier. i love it when jinni's here with us.

we brought jinni home and got her changed. "i'm home." my mother entered the house as i was preparing some food for jinni. "you can go out with haechan, i'll take care of jinni now."

"where do you want to go?" haechan asked i thought for a while. "shall we go to hongdae? i miss watching performances there!" he nodded and out of nowhere, he grabbed onto my hands and both our hands intertwined. "w-what are you doing?" i stuttered. gosh, why am i stuttering?

"it's not the first time we've held hands, right?" haechan said and yeah, that's true. but it's different when you actually feel something for the other partner, and this is exactly what i mean.

my heart pumping so hard and my cheeks growing red shows that i don't like him as a friend, i like him as a lover.

should i just make my first move?
