Korean Study Buddy (y.s.h)

6 (여섯)

For the next few days, you talked with Sanha almost everyday.

Sometimes the two of you would teach one another and learn from one another's languages, other times the two of you would just talk about random things.

You realized how much you surprisingly had in common with him, which made it more comfortable to be close friends with him.

The day before test day, you and Sanha had a video call and he helped you practice for the oral test for the next day. You really didn't know what you'd do without him, he was super helpful to you and just overall great.

Whenever you'd tell your best friend at school about him, she'd always tease that you liked Sanha more than a friend. You knew she always knew you better than you knew yourself but you weren't sure yourself if you did feel something more for him.

Test day came and you took the test with pure confidence. Every question, you had the response to. Your Korean teacher raised a brow at you after you answered the last question but she seemed impressed.

After school, you hung out with your best friend at your house and celebrated how well your oral test ended up going.

"All thanks to my genius idea for meeting someone like Sanha!" Your friend said with a proud smile.

"Alright, Alright, fine. You deserve some credit." You said with a chuckle.

"Did you text him?" She asked you, opening a bag of chips and eating some from the bag.

"Of course, right after class. Even though he was probably sleeping haha."

"You guys are so cute together! It's so clear that you've got a crush on him."

"Do not!! I've never thought about-"

"How cute he is over the phone? His selfies? How you blush every time he says something sweet to you?! Huh? Huh!" Your friend cut you off and instigated.

You paused after hearing her rebuttal and felt your cheeks warm up again at the thought of all of that. You knew all of that happened, but you didn't even realize your feelings.

"Well, geez, when you put it that way..."

"Admit it, Sanha is cuteeeee!!!" She cooed and you blushed harder.

"Ugh stop." You said and stole the bag of chips from her and ate from the bag.

"Hey!!" She said making you chuckle.

Just then, your Kakao ringtone went off and you and your friend quickly turned and looked at the phone, knowing the one person who it was. She smirked at you and gestured for you to pick it up.

"Alright! Just shut up okay. I'll tell you when you can talk!" You told her strictly and she nodded excitedly.

You gave her, her chips back and swiped to answer the call from none other than Yoon Sanha.

"No video call this time Sanha?" You asked him with a smile and put him on speaker so your friend could hear.

"Ah it's bed time. I look very...a mess? Haha." He said over the phone, tiredness in his voice.

Your friend quietly cooed over Sanha's broken English and you felt your smile grow wider because of his cuteness.

"Haha oh okay. So, what's up? Why are you calling?" You asked him.

"No important reason. I just...wanted to say you good night! Oh! And good job on your exam! I am very proud of you! Haha!"

"Aw thanks Sanha. Honestly, I couldn't have passed without you. I hope you pass your English exam coming up too!"

"Yes! Thank you. I will call you before I start school tomorrow."

"Alright, I look forward to it. Good night Sanha. Joheun bam, right?!"

"Haha yes! Joheun bam! Alright bye bye noona!!~"

Sanha hung up and your smile never left your face.

Your friend finally spoke up, "He is so adorable! Haha you guys are so cute! And, he makes you so happy."

"Happy as in...friend right?" You asked her as you felt the blush in your cheeks subside.

"Well, yes, but! Also, happy as in crush. You're developing something I can see it in you! And I keep telling you that! C'mon you gotta believe it!"

You sighed and laid your back down on your bed, letting your legs dangle from the edge of the bed. You looked up at the ceiling as you felt your once steady heartbeat, start racing at the thought of Sanha.

"Ugh I'm doomed." You told your friend who immediately cheered once you finally admitted it.
