kim yohan

"what is it that you've to tell me? why must you be so secretive about it?" i asked.

after our encounter at the cafeteria, miyeon dragged me to an empty classroom claiming she had something important to tell me. i couldn't even have my lunch we made me mildly annoyed.

to my surprise, miyeon's eyes started to tear up. i gulped, unsure of how to respond to a girl crying.

"w..what's wrong with.. with you.." i stammer, taking a small step away from her.

"kim yohan. tell me now, where am i lacking? why do you keep treating me like that?" she says through gritted teeth.

"what? i don't understand koo miyeon. i am in no place to tell you where you're lacking and i am not treating you in any sort of way," i retorted.

she narrowed her eyes towards me, obviously not pleased.

"tell me what you want, i will give it to you. whether it's money, or whether it's the honour of dating me, i want you to be my boyfriend," she demands.

i was shocked and disgsuted at her behaviour. how could such words come out from a girl's mouth?

"i'm sorry. i don't want anything from you and i don't understand your intentions of wanting to date me if you don't even like me," i reply, giving miyeon and unsatisfied look.

she scoffed and took a step closer to me.

"i like you kim yohan. you're one of the most good looking guy here in junsan high, we are a perfect match. tell me why you wouldn't want to date me? don't tell me you're still thinking of that annoying kim haena," she continues.

a big sigh left my lips in disbelief. how could she speak of her friend like this?

"you don't even know me, stop lying to yourself that you like me. i find you very pathetic and if i were to compare you to haena, she is so much better than you in every way possible," i say in a fit of anger.

i could tell miyeon was stunned, i guess no one ever spoke to her like that before. i suddenly felt bad, i shouldn't have used such harsh words on her.

"so it is that b*tch kim haena," she scoffs, glaring at me.

"no koo miyeon, no. it has nothing to do with haena, i don't even love her anymore. it's just that i'll never like you because of your personality. plus, i already have someone that i - " i stop.

miyeon raised an eyebrow.

"that you what? that you like? who is it?" she demanded to know.

"no, that's not what i mean," i lie.

she stayed silent for a while, and i stayed silent too.

all of a sudden, she lunge towards me, wrapping her arms around ny waist, hugging me tight.

horrified, i immediately tried pushing her away but she still held on tight.

"are you out of your mind? get off me koo miyeon!" i shout.

after a few seconds, she released me.

"kim yohan, i like you, and i won't give up this easily. just you wait," miyeon says, giving me one last glare before turning away and walking off.

i watched in utter shock as she disappeared out of the classroom.

shaking my head slowly, i left the classroom as well.
