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

It has been weeks since Vin started to court me. In all honesty, she never failed to surprise the heck outta me.

On the second week of her, courting me, she surprised me with a freaking food bouquet at JYP building. In front of the trainees and Sana-unni. Well, I liked it but I was just too shy that my face looked like a tomato the whole time. Sana-unni teased me a lot while we were helping the trainees.

The third week, she gave me bunch of flowers and a box—a box of notes and letters—that flattered me so much. Nobody has put that kind of effort for me. She personally delivered it to our house and gave it to me. My parents, my brother, and the house helpers—all of them—witnessed it. I tried my best to not mind their playful stares but my mom kept poking my sides when we ate dinner that night.

Fourth week, she gave me a boat and a helicopter—not the big one. The remote controlled ones. She told me assemble it and find out what I'll see. It took me days to totally fix it. And I'm grateful about the outcome. I tested it out and the boat display some L.E.D letters on the side, saying 'Hey, beautiful!'. I found it cute and silly at the same time. I wonder how much did she spent for those things. I actually told her that she shouldn't spend too much money for me. I thanked for it yet I reminded her not to spend that much money again.

For the fifth week, she didn't surprise me with anything like the past ones. But rather, she brought me to a picnic date on top of the hill. And there, I decided to make it official. I said my 'I love you' to her while we were watching the sunset. She seemed so surprise and asked me if I'm saying it because I feel pressured. But that earned a slap on the arm. Heck, I knew I was in love along the way. I guess, she just can't handle my charms and decided to go for it but kidding aside, I just waited for that specific date to say 'yes'. The date when we first met. I took note of it and I bet she doesn't even know that she saw me even before we were properly introduced to each other.

"So why did you say yes?" She asked me for the nth time today. It has been a week since we became official and our parents knew about it, right after I said it.

"Because I love you." I answered for the nth time too.

"Why that date?" Okay, this is new.

"It was the date when we first met."

"Wasn't it the 30th of that month?" She's confused, I can say.

"It's the 26th. You just probably don't know that Jay had brought me with her that time to deliver those foods to you." She looks at me with her 'Are you serious?' face. I nodded and smiled at her.

"For real? Why didn't I notice?"

"Well, maybe because I was standing behind Jay and my back was facing you." I answered truthfully.

"I seriously don't know about it." She held her temple like she's thinking deeply. Maybe rummaging through the memory files in her head.

"I kept stealing glances that time. But you were too occupied with the food. I bet you didn't even know what Jay was saying." I told her.

"Why can't I remember it?" She shook me continuously. I held her arm to stop her.

"That doesn't matter anymore. We're together now." I said to stop her from asking questions.

We're currently at the student's park and not much students are here since it's past dismissal time. I focused on the paper in front of me. I'm dealing with these essay exam that I missed when I was out on the tournament. Regarding that, our school team won the first place and will proceed with the City meets. The handling officers were kind enough to let us take a rest for two weeks while we caught up with our missed paper works. We're all exempted at our performance tasks. I thanked the teachers silently for that.

My duty with the trainees are done. Yugy-oppa is back to teach them again. Nayeon-unni is on the process of filming her music video. I'm hoping some big sales for that album though I partly doubted my own written songs.

"Hey." Vin caught up with my train of thoughts.

"Yeah?" I asked her absent-mindedly.

"You finished?"

"Ah nope, just a few more." I focused again on my paper and started writing. After a few more minutes, I'm done.

"Let's go." I tranced and grabbed my bag along with the paper on my other hand. We walked to the faculty room and knocked at the door. Almost all of the teachers are inside.

"Good Afternoon! Here, Miss." I went direct to the point and smiled at her.

"It's all good. You're cleared." She replied. I'm finally done with my paper works. I have another three days to waste before the training starts again. I guess I'll sleep it off.

"What are your plans for tomorrow?" She asked.

"Sleep." That's all I answered.

"You have classes." I groaned right after she said those words.

"Can't I ditch it? I want to rest for the last three days." I looked at her with pleading eyes.

"Are you allowed to skip classes?" I shook my head at her question.

"But we aren't required to go too, either." I added.

"Then, why don't you go to class tomorrow and sleep in the classroom." She offered her idea.

"Kinda nice but I want to feel the comfort of my bed, you know." I pouted.

"You can have it on these upcoming weekends. I won't ask you to reply to me all the time. But I'll still send you infos and pictures so you'll keep updated." She patted my head. I shrugged before answering.

"Fine, you won't be troubled since I'll just sleep."

"Good. So where do you wanna eat?" My mood suddenly turn bright when I heard the word 'eat'.

"Somewhere peaceful." I replied shortly.

"Come with me." We walked hand in hand and headed out of the campus. We took some turns and crossed some pedestrian lanes then we stopped in front of a cool-looking restaurant.

We walked inside and sat at the corner part of the place. A young-looking guy came to us and asked for our orders. After leaving, the soft melody of the piano entered my ear. I look around the place and saw few costumers.

"Is this place really this quiet?" I asked Vin silently.

"Yes, it's not called 'The Monk's haven' for nothing." She answered calmly.

I glanced at the interior and it's mainly themed blue. Everything here is painted blue even the uniforms of the servants. Our uniform blended well too with the combination of baby blue, navy blue and white. It's like this place is purposely colored blue that screams freshness, calmness and peace. At last, I've gone somewhere peaceful.
