i was surprised by the question. i chuckled softly. it was almost as if starboy was going to confess to me, but obviously not.
"i wouldn't want anything too flashy or extreme," i start off. "i would like if it was just the two of us alone aftershool or something."
"okay," starboy says.
"i'm about to get really specific—it's gonna sound so cheesy. we would be sitting next to each other in the hallway, with our backs against the lockers. then he tells me to close my eyes—and then he traces i like you on the palm of my hand. then we walk home together!"
i feel embarrassed saying all of this to starboy, and the worst part is, i just imagined starboy and hyeongjun confessing to me while i told him that. good thing starboy can't see me, because my face is sooooooo red.
"some girls would want you to confess differently—" i start off.
"no, thank you stargirl. i think it's perfect."
"good luck, when you do it," i whisper out.
"thank you, stargirl. it will be perfect!"

i'm avoiding hyeongjun at all costs. i don't even arrange plans with him to work on our unfinished project. i just feel so confused—do i like him, do i not?
i don't understand hyeongjun. first he acts like he hates me, and now i think i like that idiot??
also, i still can't figure out who i truly like—either starboy or hyeongjun.
when i arrive to school that morning, hyeongjun tries to catch my attention, but nopeeeeeee. i go in the opposite direction.
i sit in my seat next to dongpyo. he still senses something is off with me. i'm this close to telling him everything, until the teacher makes an announcement.
"class, remember that you will be presenting your partner projects tomorrow! be ready!"
tomorrow?
tomorrow?
TOMORROW?????
shit. hyeongjun and i weren't anywhere close to finished, and not like i wanted to meet up with him again.
maybe i should sacrfice my grade??
i quickly look around the room and accidentally meet eyes with hyeongjun.
he mouths today. my complex. six o clock.
