Just Friends ~ Zhang Zhenyuan

Today is the day I confess to the guy who took my heart since we were in seventh grade, Zhang Zhenyuan.

I met Zhang Zhenyuan when we took the entrance exam. We were in the same room and we sat beside each other. He borrowed my extra pen that time because his pen was lost, he said. When I saw his face, I instantly knew how love at first sight felt like.

I let him borrow my other pen and we had a bit of skinship, and it kind of made this weird feeling in my chest and tummy.

First day of school came and coincidentally, he was my classmate. On the first day, we had our second conversation, which was simple greetings such as hi and hello and he returned my pen. We weren't really close. But I kept on admiring him from afar.

So, today, I mustered all of the courage I have and decided to confess my feelings for him ever since we were in seventh grade.

"Uh, I can't do it!" I mumbled to my friend.

"You can do it! Trust me, nothing bad is gonna happen, or else I'll kill him if he does something bad."

"Don't kill him, please!"

"Don't take it seriousl- look! It's Zhenyuan!"

"Huh? Where?!" I asked and tried to search for him. It was quite easy for me to find him in a crowded place because of his irresistible charm.

Okay, this is it. I will now confess to the guy I like. I walked up to him and greeted him. "Hey, Zhenyuan."

"Oh, hi."

"Can I talk to you? In private?"

"Sure. Let's meet at the rooftop. I'll just put this guitar back to the music room." He lifted the guitar a bit and smiled.

His charming smile is killing me.

"Oh, okay."

He smiled and nodded as a sign of goodbye and went to the music room. My friend, who was hiding behind her brother, showed up and squealed. "OMG, OMG, OMG!"

"He agreed on having a talk with me!" I squealed and jumped with her.

"Tch. Girls." Her brother mumbled.

"Tch. You're acting like that because no girl likes you."

"You - !"

"Bye, I gotta do my homework!" She ran away from us and I just laughed at the two siblings.

"Hey, good luck with your confession." Her brother said and did a thumbs up before leaving.

I exhaled shakily and went up the rooftop. He was already there. When I closed the door, it made creaked a bit as it was already an old door so Zhenyuan noticed that I have just arrived.

"Oh, you're finally here." He smiled, making my heart pound. "What is it that you wanna talk about?"

I walked up to him, fidgeting my fingers. "Zhenyuan, I have something t-to te-tell you."

"I'm listening." He carefully said.

"I like you. I've liked you since the entrance examination in seventh grade, the first time we made contact." I felt the tension increase. "Y-You don't have to uhm, respond."

"I'm sorry."

"Huh?"

"I'm sorry. I couldn't return your feelings. I only treat you as a friend."

'As a friend?'
