Someone Like Me

Chapter 26

Omniscient

"That's not how you do it. You gotta roll it many many times to make it a huge ball for the body. Like this." Dahyun eagerly explained while demonstrating it.

"You are really good at everything." Jimin commented, a carrot in his hand for the nose of the snowman they are making.

"Nope. Not really. I think I have mediocre skills. I don't have anything that I can say I am really good at." She said as she put a smaller snow ball on top of the snowman's body.

"Hmm, I think there's something which you're really good at." He said as he stuck the carrot on the snow ball.

"Really?" The little girl asked with an amused smile while tilting her head. She put two dark stones for the eyes of the snowman.

"Yes." Jimin replied as he picked up a twig, forming a curve and finally putting it on the snowman.

"Making people smile." He looked at the smiling snowman infront of them then at the girl whose eyes were now smiling.

He beamed at her which made her giggle.

It had been over a month since the first time they met each other. Dahyun thought that it would be hard for her to befriend the boy since she barely see him in school and there are only few to no one who acknowledge the boy's name.

But then, she saw him one weekend on her secret place, staring at the sea while humming something. The boy was so shy when she greeted him. He was apologizing for intruding inside the girl's secret place which only earned a suppressed giggle from her. From then on, they always meet each other on that special place during the weekends. She's greatly surprised that the boy actually talks a lot. He is really fun to be with. She tried to ask the boy why he shuts himself from others but it seems that he is not yet ready to open up about that topic because the atmosphere always gets sour whenever she ask such questions.

Those few days that they spent playing on the snow made a special bond between the two. It never felt cold around each other even though the place is literally freezing.

"You're kidding, right?" Dahyun said. She lays down on the snow and flapped her limbs making an angel on the snow.

Jimin did the same. Sitting up when he's already satisfied of what he did.

"No. Really. You're good at cheering people up." He said staring at her raven hair splayed on the snow.

He stood up and brushed the snow on his clothes.

"Stand up now. You'll catch a cold." He offered his hands and she gladly took it.

"Pull me up! Pull me up!" She said with a playful tone.

He just shook his head while smiling and pulled the girl up. When she was almost on her feet, he let go of her hands making her land on the snow butt first.

"Why did you do that?!" Dahyun huffed.

Jimin just laughed and helped the girl stood up.

The girl stomped her way to the bench and glared at him. He suddenly felt a wave of panic thinking she might hate him now too.

He rushed to her side and hesitantly asked.

"Sorry. Don't h-hate me. What should I do to make you less mad?" Jimin said while looking at the ground.

"Sing for me!" She said with clasped hands while fluttering her lashes. "Please?"
