The next few days at school were uneventful. Nothing interesting happened, and Yunho and I weren't getting any closer to cracking the mystery of who might be my secret admirer. Yunho didn't pressure me in trying to find out, as he knew I was somewhat a bit in shock finding out that Mingi or Wooyoung or San or Yeosang could be my secret admirer.

"Hey, Kyung, you alright?" Yunho asked as he slipped next to me in homeroom.

I grumble in response, my head on the table.

Yunho clicked his tongue. "Cheer up. You'll find out who it is soon."

"But that's the point," I groan, burying my face into my arms. "I'm absolutely terrified to find out who it is. It's going to be absolutely awkward if it is Mingi."

"Why Mingi?" Yunho raised his eyebrow. "Do you not like him?"

"Well, I do," I rested my chin on my arms. "As a friend. If he does like me in a romantic way, I'm done. I don't want our friendship to break."

Yunho sighs. "You're being too paranoid. What if it's San or Yeosang or Wooyoung? Then it wouldn't be too bad, would it?"

"It would be equally bad if it's Yeosang or San," I groaned. "I barely even know them. And Wooyoung..." I blinked and groaned. "I don't even know how to react to that."

Yunho chuckled. "You're too paranoid. You'll be fine, don't worry."

As much as I tried to believe him, there was still that lingering feeling of worry at the pit of my stomach. It was still there even at the end of Friday that week. As soon as the last period bell rang, I breathed a sigh of relief, happy to finally leave the classroom. But just as I did, I felt someone grab my wrist.

"Kyung," the last voice I wanted to hear said.

My heartbeat skipped a beat as I turned around to face Wooyoung. "Oh, hey, Woo." I chuckled nervously.

Wooyoung cocked his head, looking concerned. "Are you okay? You're avoiding me again."

I sighed and shook my wrist away from his grip, brushing my hair back. "I don't know. I'm just trying to get everything together. This week hasn't been the best of weeks."

"Why?" Wooyoung asked. "Is it your secret admirer?"

I paused and stared at him with surprise. "How did you know that?"

"Yunho told me," he shrugs. "And you mentioned it that day you apologized to me when we were at your locker."

"Oh right," the memory came back to me as soon as he finished speaking. "Yeah, of course. And no, the secret admirer has nothing to do with this. I'm fine."

Wooyoung nodded, looking a bit doubtful. Then he scratched the back of his head and looked a bit nervous. "Oh, uh, by the way, Kyung, it's my sister's birthday tomorrow, and, um, I just want to know if you could, you know, come to the party? You're invited and so is Yunho, you can come, um, if you want."

I feel so surprised and touched, I could feel my cheeks turning pink. My mouth opened and I spoke without thinking.

"S-sure," I nodded. "I'll go."

Wooyoung suddenly smiled so brightly I almost melted right then and there. "Thanks, Kyung!" He hugged me tightly, kissed me on the forehead, and went off running.

I just stood there, frozen.

Did Wooyoung just kiss my forehead?

I tried to blink myself back to reality. I turned around to exit the classroom, but found myself facing Yunho. He looked like he was going to blow up with excitement.
