Friendzoned ~ He Junlin

Out of all the people I know, why did my heart choose to shout her name? My intention was to only befriend her, why am I falling for her?

I ruffled my hair on leaned forward. This is harder than I thought. I can't let a single confession ruin our friendship. Stupid Junlin, why did you fall for your friend?!

"Junlin Ge!"

Ah, there she is, calling my name like melo- snap out of it, Junlin!

"Yeah?" I responded as I rested my head on my palms. She went in our classroom like it's not a big deal and sat in front of me.

"Why aren't you going out? The next band will be coming from our batch. You have to come and support!" She pleaded.

I looked at her, and as always, she looks cute in the outfits she wear. She wore a pastel pink sweater with pastel blue button up long sleeves on the inside. She also wore her white tennis skirt and white converse. Her hair was styled into space buns with some pink ribbons on the sides.

Why did I fall for you? Can't I just fall for another? Why is it hard to unlike you? You look cuter in that outfit! What have you done, Junlin?

"Junlin Gege! I'm still talking to you!"

"Huh, what was that?" I asked as she brought me back to reality. "Aiya, stop calling me gege! You're just a year younger!"

She chuckled. "Well you're still older than me."

"But still," I groaned, "don't call me that."

"Then I'll just call you Grandpa Junlin!" 

I rolled my eyes with a smile plastered on my face. She never fails to make me smile. "Why were you wandering around the halls?"

"To find you, duh." She said. "We need to cheer for the next band. Come on!" She stood up and held my right hand then pulled me to stand up. You know how kids act when they pull you? Yeah, it's similar to this one.

We ran to the field where the event was being held, and jumped to the beat of the performers. After the performance, the next performers were the band from our batch. We screamed at the top of our lungs and sang along. We also clapped our hands and enjoyed the moment. When the crowd was roaring, I faced her with nervousness. This is it. I am going to confess my feelings for her.

I called out for her name, and she looked at me innocently. "I.. I have something to tell you!" I shouted.

"What?!" She shouted back with a tone like she didn't hear what I shouted.

"I like you!"

"What?!"

"I said I l- "

She covered my mouth. "I heard what you said!" She shouted back. "Come with me!" She dragged me to the school garden, and I can still hear the band performing and the lights were still beaming from here.

"Look, I didn't mean to fall for you." I tried to explain. "You're not even my ideal type! But... I just suddenly fell for you."

"Sorry." She said with a serious tone and a serious expression.

Does this mean I'm gonna get rejected? Now I know the feeling of my admirers when they confess and I just reject them. Should I confess to them now?

"Let's just be friends."

I got friendzoned. Oh my goodness, I got friendzoned! It still hurts!

"It's okay." What a bummer.

She looked up at me and suddenly laughed. Wha- ?

"Idiot, I like you too!" She laughed. "I can't believe it either! I like an idiot!"

"You - !"
