Chapter 4 - See Him Cry

[Ding, Ding, Ding.]

I giggled a bit when I saw that Tae got startled from the bell. He froze up and almost dropped his phone.

Ah.. Cute.

"Ahem, anyway, let's get going, yeah?"

I nodded to him.

I picked up all my things, put my containers back inside my lunch bag and swung my bag over my shoulder, opening the door that was connected to the hallway.

"Cmon!"

I held the door open for Tae. He went through, still stuffing his things into his lunch bag.

"Ah.. You need any help there?"

"Hm? Oh, no, it's fine! I can handle it myself. Thanks for asking, though!"

"No problem!"

I lightly smiled to him as I went to my locker.

"Ah, your locker is next to mine! How lucky, huh?"

"Oh, that's your locker? Maybe this is destiny, huh?"

"Yup! Destined to be best friends!"

My heart ached a bit when he said best friends.

I love him, I can't help that. But he doesn't love me back, and I can't make him.

"Yup. Best friends!"

I tried to put on a cheery tone for him. It probably sounded a bit low and maybe had a hint of sorrow, but I don't think Tae noticed.

Well, if he did, he didn't raise any questions about it.

We but out things away in our lockers and headed to our next classes.

"Hey Yoonie, what class do you have next?"

"I have social studies. How about you?"

"Hm.. Let me see your schedule, I want to see if you have regular social studies or advanced."

I took out my schedule from my binder and handed it to him.

"Hm.. Oh, hey! We're in the same social studies class! Let's get going."

He took my hand smiling and we started walking. My face went a bit warm but it wasn't too bad.

"Alright then."

"I'm glad we have the same one! Hm, oh, we should hang out after school, yeah?"

I smiled brightly, taking my hand out of his grasp and I clapped a little bit while nodding.

"Aw, you look so adorable!"

He lifted his hand and pinch one of my cheeks.

"Huh? Me? No.."

I brushed his hand off my face and covered my face with my hands. It probably went bright red since it wasn't even warm anymore, it basically burning hot.

I heard Tae giggle again and he wrapped his arm around my shoulder, still guiding me where to go despite me just blindly walking with my hands on my face.

"We're almost at class. You can take your hands off your face now, you know."

"Ah.. Okay.."

I took my hands away from my face and back to my sides.

"And, we're here! Cmon, Yoonie!"
