her ;

the bell rang.

i took a deep breath.

"it's ok yana, you can do this no matter what."

i muttered to myself. it was finally dismissal time.

"good luck!"

i turned around and saw jihoon along with my other friends, smiling.

"i hope no rejection occurs."

areum whispered. i gave her an unsure smile.

*time skip*

his ;

i stood up from my table, excited to see who this anonymous is later on.

"good luck."

woojin smiled at me. i mouthed a 'thanks'.

i left the classroom walking towards the basketball court.

*time skip*

as i arrived, i saw some guys playing basketball.

but one student caught my eye.

it said in the note 'look for a person writing in a notebook, then that's me'.

it can't be. i slowly made my way towards the girl.

i neared. it was yana.

the quiet student seated at the back of our class.

is it her?

. . . . .

her ;

as i was writing on my notebook, i felt a presence not that far away from me.

i looked up. and saw... chan.

i beckoned him to come closer. he did as i exclaimed.

"so, you're the one who writes these kind of notes?"

chan said, holding up the one i gave him a while ago.

i sighed.

"yes, it's me."

"oh, i didn't expect it to be you to be honest."

"in a bad or good way?"

"good."

i nodded.

"well what can i say? i can't hide me feelings from you so i express it through note writing."

he chuckled at what i said.

"well it's a good thing i won't be rejecting you."

i looked at him, expressionless.

"you don't want to play with my feelings right now."

"i'm not kidding."

"is that so?"

"i don't kid with what i feel towards people."

i smiled.

"why didn't you tell me before?"

i asked.

"well call me a coward for hiding them from you."

i chuckled.

"well you should've not did that, i might've had returned the same feelings."

"well you actually did, through these."

once again, chan showed me the same note. i smiled.

"so..."

"so?"

"what are we now?"

"well if it's ok then i'll consider myself your only boyfriend."

i laughed at what he said.

"too soon?"

"i can change it if you'd like."

"nah, fine with me."

i looked at him and grinned.

"i can't believe you're so chill when doing this."

"inside of me says otherwise."

he chuckled.

"let's go, i'll walk you home."

as areum said, no rejection shall happen.

exactly.
