Sassy pants and Mr Tattoo

Chapter 3

Getting Jeongmin to talk to me was way harder than it should be. I couldn't ask anyone if they knew anything about him because he doesn't talk to anyone, and we don't even have any classes together.

Although I did find out where his locker was.

Wow JaeSeul you are becoming a stalker.

I shuddered at the thought.

I decided to slip a note in his locker. I can't keep on wasting time on this, the play was in a few days and the lead can't be distracted.

I sat down to begin writing his note, what would I even say?

Hey Jeongmin, I'm sorry for being a bitch then, my obsessive brother didn't want us to talk, you were right. And now I kinda wanna be your friend. Think about it ne?

That sounds horrible.

I got it I'll just invite him to my play. If he goes then I'll know he's not mad at me if he doesn't then I'll leave this whole friendship thing alone.

I walked over to his locker and slipped the note in. This is so middle school.
I walked off to class feeling pretty satisfied.

*play day*

In my school uniform, which was my costume for this play, I began running lines with kwangmin. It was the night. Where all of the drama departments hard work will be paid off and I'll know whether or not Jeongmin wants to ever speak to me again.

It was ten minutes until the show would begin. I was kind of getting nervous, which was the weird thing. I never get nervous.

I couldn't decide if it was because I was the lead in this play, or because of jeongmin.

Five minutes before show time I peeked outside the curtains. No sign of Jeongmin.

I began biting my nails. That was not a good sign. I was really nervous at this point.

"Hey!" I turned around hoping to see Jeongmin. It wasn't.

"Are you nervous?" Kwangmin asked, I quickly pulled my hand from my mouth

"Aniyo," I tried to give a comforting smile but it didn't work. It was more awkward and worried

"Hey we'll be fine don't be" he said patting me on the back.

One minute and everyone was in there spots. Eventually the curtain went up. I quickly looked around for Jeongmin. He wasn't here.

We went through a couple scenes and he still wasn't there.

Just like the day of rehearsal I saw a figure at the doors. It was Jeongmin. He caught my gaze, I was no longer nervous, I was kind of happy.

Until he walked away. My stomach dropped. From the looks of it too he didn't leave to look for a seat. He left the building and didn't watch my performance,

The kiss scene was coming up, it would be my first and I didn't even care anymore at that point.

As we were saying lines to each other I could see the joy in Kwangmins eyes. He was a little taller than me and he looked like he could be a senior too.
His lips placed on mine and I could feel him smiling through it. So this is what this feels like? Well there goes my first.
As the play ended our teaches rounded us up to say good job and so on. After changing I walked to our assigned mirror desks and went to mine. There were roses on it.

Someone liked my performance that bad?

I shook my head, it was probably Jaesun.

I looked at the card there wasn't a name on it but there was a number.
I slipped it into my back pocket grabbed my bag and the roses and walked too find Jaesun.

"Someone have an admirer?" I heard a snarky voice. I turned around

"Jeongmin!" I beamed and immediately hugged him. I don't even know why I did but i did

"Woah that excited?" He smirked

"Oh you ass! Where did you go? I knew I saw you by the doors." I confronted, I loved how even though we haven't talked in a month, it seems as if we were close for years.

"Mianhae I would've stayed to watch but I kind of had something to do," he said I nodded

"So who are these from? Your boyfriend?" He asked curiously I shook my head

"I don't have a boyfriend I'm not sure who gave them to me" I shrugged "they're nice though" I said gently touching the petals.

"JaeSeul!" I heard my brother calling out for me

"I have to go Jeongmin, but uhm text me yeah?" I grabbed a piece of paper and pen from my bag and wrote my number

"Anneyeong" I gave him the piece of paper and went off to find Jaesun.

"That could've went really bad." I said to myself.
***
I laid down on my bed from the performance. I didn't realize how much I was smiling.

I guess Jeongmin forgiving me made me very excited.

I went to my closet and grabbed a pair of pajama shorts. As I took off my jeans the card with the number fell out.

Should I call? Or should I tell Jaesun? Without thinking any further I decided I'd tell my oppa.

I quickly changed and went down stairs
"Oppa" I called out for him,

"Ne?" His head popped out of the kitchen

"Yah! Stop eating you are going to get fat!" I teased he rolled his eyes at me

"Babo, What do you want?" He said

"Arraso well I got those flowers and this card was on it but it only has a number on it. Should I call them?" I asked him he took the card from my hand and looked at the number

" do it tomorrow, it's getting late. But I want to hear this call arraso? It could be some freak" he said I nodded

"Good job tonight by the way kiddo" he ruffled my hair

"I know" I smiled proudly

"Don't be so cocky!" He gave me a playful punch

"Ne ne I know Kamsa" I bowed and went back to my room.
