jang wonyoung. the girl in which my heart has fallen for. she was this kind and cute wholesome girl that makes you want to pinch her cheeks everytime she smiles. i like her so much, its driving me crazy.
"yah! y/n! stop looking at wonyoung's table with googly eyes. its creepy." a voice had said which snapped me out of my thoughts. i turn to see jimin, my best friend, looking at me with a disgusting look on his face. he had his usual black slim glasses on and his knitted gray sweater which he wore basically everyday, and a book bag he brought with him. jimin and i became best friends through our love for books.
"sorry.. i cant help it." i sigh, fawning over wonyoung's table which consisted of twelve girls, including her. they chatter and laughed louder than anyone else.
"y/n, you know its impossible. we're just losers. i know you like her but its not going to work." jimin had said, patting my back in reassurance. he was right.
wonyoung and i are social opposites. there's nothing i could do but keep my head low and keep my feelings inside.
i look at wonyoung's table one last time with a glimmer of hope that she'd catch my eye but she was too busy caught up with talking to her friends to even spare a glance. i mean why would she? i force myself to look away and continue eating my food.
the final bell rang and it means that classes has finally ended. i get up from my desk after i had finished packing my things and head out of the classroom to go home. i couldnt wait to go home, i needed to finish the book i picked up a few weeks ago. as i pass by through the hallway, i could hear whispers mentioning my name. i feel the anxiety go through me and i start walking faster with my eyes glued to the floor. of course, this had caused me to bump into someone.
"eek!" a high pitch voice had screeched. i realised i was clumsy to not look where i was going. whoever i bumped into, their books were scattered onto the floor so i thought i'd help whoever they are pick them up. i started by collecting the books scattered around us.
"ah, im sorry." a familiar voice spoke. i look up and my eyes met hers. i could feel my heart start to thump very loudly so i looked away and continued to pick up her books. my eyes land on a specific note, i pick it up to get a closer look, it was plans about her birthday party this weekend. its her birthday, huh?
i stood up and dusted myself off, handing her items. i bow politely,
"i should be sorry, i wasnt looking where i was going." i say, fixing my posture after a few seconds.
"w-well, uh, i should get going." i say, rushing to pass by her.
"w-wait!" wonyoung had said, making me turn around to face her.
"u-um.. i have a party this weekend.. my birthday.. my birthday is this weekend. i was wondering if you'd like to go.. w-with me." wonyoung had said. what? am i hearing correctly? did she invite me to her birthday party?
wonyoung handed me a paper, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"h-here is my address..p-please come if you can." wonyoung said as i take the small piece of paper from her. she looked at me cutely, her eyes begging me to say yes but i was too shocked to even say anything.
"i- uh.. okay.. i-i'll see." by now, i knew that i was blushing red. wonyoung smiled at me, waving me off before she had left.
i was left there dumbfounded at what just had happened. i ended up thinking this might've been an eleborate prank to embarrass me but the way wonyoung acted makes me think so otherwise.
...
i have finally arrived at the address wonyoung wrote on the paper she had given me during our interaction. her house was huge and there was people everywhere. i enter the home, gripping the small box i was holding even tighter, feeling awkward already. man, i really regret not bringing jimin with me even if he didnt want to come here.
i felt so out of place. i just stood there, looking around, trying my best to not look as awkward. i started to contemplate whether i should just drop off wonyoung's gift and leave.
"ah! y/n! you came!" i hear the same familiar voice once again. i turn to see wonyoung who was smiling.
"uh.. happy birthday wonyoung.." i say, giving her the box. how does she know my name? i remember clearly not telling her?
"o-oh.. thank you." she said, smiling even wider. she happily took the gift from my hands and opened it. in the box was a silver necklace with her initials on it.
"w-wah! this must've been expensive.. you didnt have to do this, you know? thank you so much!" wonyoung smiled, bowing to me several times. i smile at her cute reaction.
"no no! its my way of saying sorry for bumping into you on accident." i say. wonyoung smiled at me.
"mind helping me put it on?" she had ask, giving me the necklace. i nod and i help her put it on her neck. she looks at me, amazed by the necklace before saying thank you once again.
wonyoung then drags me to somewhere thats less crowded and we both sit down on a bench nearby.
"i didnt know you knew me." i mumble, quietly, staring off into the sky.
"sorry, i get nervous talking to you sometimes." i hear wonyoung say.
"why's that?" i ask.
"uh- because.." wonyoung's voice trails off, stuttering. i turn my attention on her.
"because?"
"because i like you."
with that, i felt my heart stop. i looked at her, a dazed smile on her face with reds in her cheeks.
first, she knows me then she likes me. what is going on?
"thank you." i reply.
something is seriously wrong with me. i should go bury myself in a hole and die or something.
before i go do that, wonyoung releases out a laugh, bawling her eyes out and choking on her laughter. red plump cheeks and sweet giggles coming. i was somewhat confused, but whatever, at least before i die, i get to hear this sweet melody.
"you are so cute, i swear." she chokes out.
i then realized. jang wonyoung, a name known in this school, likes me. what did i do? how did i do it? was it the fact that i was too nervous to face her so i ran every moment i saw her?
"y-you like me?" i ask, still bewildered.
"yes.. do you like me?" wonyoung asks.
"yes! yes!" i say too eagerly, causing her to giggle.
"so i guess we are a couple, starting from today!" wonyoung says, smiling. i smiled too but i had doubts.
"b-but wonyoung.. we are different in social status at school.. people will judge you if you date someone.. especially like me." i say, turning away from her gaze.
i felt warm hands touch my cheeks and my eyes met hers.
"i like you, okay! i dont care about anything else. just dont leave me." wonyoung pouted. why does she have to be so cute?
"a-ah.. okay." i say, pinching her cheeks.
"so... can we..? um..? k-kiss?" wonyoung asked, getting red.
"i guess. we will be each others' first then." i say, awkwardly smiling. i felt my cheeks heat up as well.
we stare at each other for a second, before we slowly lean in. soon, i felt her lips against mine. wonyoung closes her eyes and i do the same.
we both pull away soon enough. wonyoung turns away, blushing. i smile.
im glad wonyoung stopped me from running away that time. otherwise we wouldnt have whatever we have right now.
