The One That Got Away-s.rj x c.js

I almost threw my phone when the alarm buzzed all of a sudden. It's time for Vin's medicines. I stood up and saw her still sleeping. I was about to exit my room when Mama came in, with a tray in her hands. She brought another bowl of soup for her. I thanked her and wake Vin up.

"Vin...Vin...Aikovin...Aikovin." I called her name continuously. She stirred up and opened her eyes. I helped her sit and fed her with the soup. I let her drank the medicine and changed her shirt. I faced the wall when she changed her shirt.

"I feel hot." She said right after. I lowered the heater's temperature and asked her if it's fine.

"All good." She lifted her thumb at me.

"Do you wanna sleep?" I ask her softly. She shook her head and stared at me.

"I'll just eat breakfast, okay? I'll be back." She nodded. I made my way downstairs and ate breakfast quickly. I went back and saw her sitting there while looking at me.

"I thought you fell asleep." I said and sat on the bed.

"I waited for you."

"Do you need anything?" I looked at her softly.

"You...I need you." I was taken aback with what she said.

"Why?"

"I...uhm...Nevermind, I'll sleep." She turned her back at me and covered herself with a blanket.

I sighed and went to my study table to get my phone. I stared at my lockscreen wallpaper. It's a photo of us. It was taken when we went to the sea. We watched the sunset there and played with the sand. She's back hugging me at the picture while her lips are in my cheek. I stared at her sleeping body in my bed. Gosh, I can't wait for this to end.

Two days had passed and I am now going back to school. Vin, on the other side, is still unwell.

"How am I gonna go to school if you're still sick?" I whined at her.

"I'll be fine here, go now." She said and shoo-ed me from the bed. I finished eating breakfast and taking a bath yet I'm still not wearing my uniform.

"You sure?" She nodded as a response. I sighed before entering my closet and changed clothes there. I went out holding my coat, socks, and shoes. I sat on my couch and wore it.

"Do you want anything for later?" I asked her as I fixed my coat.

"Just go back in one piece." She said and smiled at me. I grabbed my bag and kissed her forehead before heading out.

"I'll be done by 2 o'clock." I said before closing the door and winked at her.

I went to school and entered the new room I am in. They all looked at me as I walk to a vacant seat. Why the hell are they looking at me like that?! I screamed internally.

They went back to what they are doing which made me sigh in relief. Soon enough, Jay and Cleo entered the room.

"Yuri!"

"Yuri?!"

They shouted at the same time and ran to me. I smiled at them as they engulf me with a hug.

"We haven't seen you in a while." The two sat beside me.

"Well, I pretty much stayed at home and looked after the Shin siblings." I retorted.

"The Shins? You mean Vin?" I nodded at her.

"They stayed at our house because of a long story." I said, feeling lazy to elaborate what really happened.

"How about you and her?" Jay looked at me playfully.

"What?"

"Are you together now?" She wiggled her eyebrows.

"Oh how I wish I was the the one she likes." I shrugged. The two looked at each other.

"Say what?"

"Her crush is Je." I sighed before answering. They gasped with what I said.

"I thought—" Before Jay can finish, Cleo covered her mouth. I sighed once again and looked down. The door suddenly swung open which made us all look at it.

"Hi." Crap, I forgot! Je and her girl are in this class. I looked away and sighed again. After a few minutes, I felt that familiar charisma near me. I looked up and saw Je's face.

"Hi! I'm Je!" She smiled and offered her hand. I accepted it and smiled back.

"I'm Yu—"

"Oh my gosh! You're Yuri, I'm a fan!" My eyes widen with what she said.

"Y-you're my fan?" I asked while pointing at myself.

"Yes!" Oh gosh, when can she be not energetic?

"Oh wow." My reaction failed me, urgh. "I'm sorry, I just never thought a talented and gorgeous girl like you will be a fan of a potato like me." I said shyly.

"You're not a potato, I can guarantee you that." She said looking so adorable with her expression. I smiled at her, making my eyes curve.

"Oh wait, I'll take a seat here so I can talk to you more often." She sat in the chair in front of me before turning it to me. She talked to me while the class wasn't starting. But stopped immediately when the teacher came in. We greeted the teacher after she entered.

"So, Is there a new one here?" Everyone looked at me. I'm the only new one here.

"Please introduce yourself." She said to me. I walked to the front and bowed before speaking.

"I'm Yuri Choi. Please take care of me." I said and went back to my seat. She discussed the things for our Second Semester along with our schedule and subjects. Our schedule isn't that bad, not until Friday. It goes 7 am to 6 pm. Gosh, I wish I won't fall asleep in class. The morning class went pretty fast and It's now lunch time. Just two hours more and I'll see Vin again. I sat with Jay and Cleo during lunch. Surprisingly, Je and her friends sat with us. Our table was the noisiest because of our voices. But it was cut off when my phone rang.

"Won't you answer it?" Cleo asked. I looked at the caller id and saw her name. I answered it and saw her face.

"What time will you be back?" I looked at the people in our table and they're eating while talking.

"I'll be back by 2 pm."

"I miss you already!" There eyes darted on me because of that. Gosh, her voice is so loud.

"I'll go back soon. Eat your lunch now then take your medicines." I said trying to act calm and ignoring their looks.

"I want you to feed me." I saw her pout. She looked like a kid with her expression.

"I'll feed you later when I get back home." I said and grabbed a spoonful of food. I munched it.

"You look cute while eating." She randomly said which made me almost spat my food.

"I'm not cute." I said after swallowing it.

We argued with that for almost 15 minutes before I retreated and accepted her words.

"You're cute!"

"Fine, you win." She smiled at me revealing her whisker-like dimples. We talked while I eat lunch and ended it before I go back to my classroom.

"That one is so whipped." I smiled timidly with what Jay said.

Heck yeah, I'm whipped for Aikovin Shin only!
