"Good morning." I said while smiling at Jihoon. I sat at my usual place and kept my cool.

"Now, what's your answer?" He asked, not looking at me.

"Answer? To what?" Feigning ignorance.

He sighed. "What did you mean by 'it seems like I won't have any friends, again' ?"

"Oh, that. Well, I'm not really friendly and I'm super shy. I thought I won't have any friends, again. Just like in my old school." I nervously said while playing with my pen.

I'm not good at lying. What if he noticed that I'm not telling the truth? Please believe what I said. Please.

"Oh, is that so. Sorry for asking."

"Huh? Why are you apologizing? You didn't do anything bad." I looked at him and accidentally met his eyes, again. Why? Why is it so beautiful?

"Nothing. It became a habit, you know, saying sorry."

I can't really say anything after that statement and I can't handle this deafening silence. I wrote on my diary and wished that time would move faster.

"By the way, is that a diary?" He asked. I hastily closed my diary, startled.

"You don't have to be that surprised." He giggled.

I can't help but notice, he have a really beautiful smile. Ah, why did I spot this just now? He's really cute. With his height like that, he's like a kid. And his face, it's so cute. His eyes, they're very attractive. I can't stop staring at it. His hair, don't even get me started, they're wonderful. I would touch it, if he'll let me. And his lips - what am I thinking?

"Umm. Yes, it's a diary."

"Then why are you writing in open? That's your diary, cover when writing or don't write while you're in someone's prescence."

"Well, it's a long story." I said, emphasizing the word 'long'.

"We have a lot of time. Spill." He suggested while intently staring at me.

Do I tell him? But, what if he thinks I'm a freak? Or I'm losing my mind? Will he distance himself? What'll I do?

"Before that, can I ask you a question?"

"You're asking me now."

I just stared at him, unsatisfied. Really? What a lame joke.

"Just kidding, yes. What is it?"

I just rolled my eyes and wrote "Kwon Soonyoung" at a piece of paper and gave it to him.

"What does it say?" I asked.

"Kwon Soonyoung. Why?" He asked, his eyes full of confusion.

What the? He can read it! He really can! Is this really happening?! Someone can read my writing! I don't know why but I'm really happy.

"Hey, why are you hugging me?"

"Oh, sorry. I'm just really happy. I can't believe it, this is really happening! You can read it!" I exclaimed, showing my excitement.

"Of course, why couldn't I? I learned how to read when I was young. " Jihoon rolled his eyes, probably saying, 'that's obvious'.

I just smiled at him. "Rooftop, lunch. Meet me."
