" SAERA! " youngjae sighed, trying to get the girl's attention for the millionth time that day. she simply turned around, walking the opposite direction from the boy before she huffed in frustration.
youngjae caught up to her, stopping her from walking any further as he stood in front of her, panicking. he held onto her shoulders and shook her vigorously," sae! i'm sorry." he definitely did not want to get ignored by his childhood best friend for the rest of his life, he thought.
saera raised an eyebrow. he's so dramatic, she thought. she could only scoff at the boy in front of her. he's sorry? that won't cut out as an apology. well, but she did agree to his stupid plan in the first place.
she looked at him again, her eyebrows knitting together when she sees him scrunching his face into a pout in an attempt to convince the girl to forgive him. out of second-hand cringe, she batted his apology away. " okay, okay. just please don't ever do that face to anybody else. i don't want anyone else getting a disease from that."
youngjae snorts. " whatever. but hey, i really am sorry, okay? i shouldn't have forced you into doing that when you didn't want to."
saera bit her cheek before walking off, youngjae trailing behind her. the two friends soon walked side by side, their shoulders touching as they looked down glumly.
" it's alright," she finally mumbles. he looked at his best friend, who had a small smile plastered on her face. he could see the way she was pained from the aftermath of the situation. youngjae closed his eyes for a while, cursing internally. you're an asshole, eric. he told himself countless of times.
" i mean it. hey, don't look so... not yourself? i don't know, but that was definitely not you." she giggles. youngjae groaned. " can you blame me?! you're my best friend, sae, i just don't want you getting hurt."
saera faked a gasp before she placed a hand over her chest. " what? me? hurt? over this? and you call yourself MY best friend? you know damn well i wouldn't beat myself over this. plus, it's not like i actually had any romantic feelings for him to begin with. it was just to check if he was my soulmate or not, which, apparently he seems to be."
youngjae hummed. " when are you going to approach him? ".
saera stopped in her tracks. youngjae noticed and stopped too. " um, what do you mean " she questioned the boy, who was shaking his head yet again at the girl's obliviousness.
" well... you have to talk to him one way or another. sunwoo probably already knows that you both are soulmates. i saw the look in his face when he noticed you turning off your music player. he was shocked."
" damn right, the bitch couldn't contain a gasp. thank God i covered up for him," saera replies. youngjae laughed. " but... is it really necessary? to approach him, i mean, now we both know we're soulmates so... what else is there to do, really? ".
youngjae looked over at her, his eyes widening. " you're kidding! ". he gasps when he sees saera confused, before he face palms. " ah, right, my best friend is a total loser and gives zero fucks towards the soulmate system. how could i forget."
saera gave him an unamused look. " shut up, twit, just tell me already."
" i don't know sae, how about you go up to him and ask him to seal the deal by locking hands with him? and i don't know, looking into his eyes too for a minute to get the tattoo? ".
" haha...," saera began to laugh nervously, assuming that youngjae was only joking with her. he shook her head, " my god, my best friend really thinks i'm joking." her eyes widened in realisation. no way was she ever going to approach sunwoo after the embarrassing encounter earlier!
youngjae began to walk off, his hands dug into his pockets as he whistled away. " catch you tomorrow. i have to go feed my cat back at home. looking forward to the romanticism that's about to happen tomorrow."
" i...," she couldn't even begin to form a sentence when he began to walk further and further away from her. she looked down, her mind running circles at the thought of ever going up to sunwoo, let alone have detention with him alone.
" hold on. eric doesn't have a cat."
that bastard, she thought. she sighed before walking the opposite way, shoving her cold hands into the pockets of her blazer. detention with sunwoo for a week starting tomorrow? not exactly something to look forward to now, saera?
she gulped to herself before walking off, oblivious to the fact that somebody had been eavesdropping on the pair of friends ever since they stepped out of school grounds.
