MEMOIRS

CHAPTER - 8 : NEW FACES

She thought: "Wait, it's that sunbae from yesterday right? I'm right!! His name is Song Hyun Wook huh?? Wait am I smiling?? What? Nam Bo Young stop." she finally stopped smiling. "Are you okay?" the guy who blocked the ball asked her. Bo Young was totally concentrated on Hyun Wook. She heard what the guy told but didn't have full attention. "Uh, Huh? Oh!? I'm alright. Thank you." Bo Young told while being flustered. Ha Sang and Yeon Joon were there. They were aware of the situation but didn't open their mouths to utter a word. Bo Young started to leave. She was not affected by anything other than his name. She then thought: "Oh my! Why am I caring about it too much? This is not right. I should forget about it soon. Let's leave for class. Oh right. It's probably gym class for me too. I saw my classmates there. I shouldn't have left in the first place." She turned all the way around and went in the same direction.

She reached the basketball court and noticed that the match was still going on. She went on and searched for a place free. "Bo Young!!" someone yelled. Bo Young recognized the voice. It was Ji Ae. Bo young turned to the direction of the voice. She saw Ji Ae waving at her energetically and Yu Ah smiling at her eagerly. She paced towards them. The guys she passed through looked at her in awe. Bo Young sat beside Ji Ae and Yu Ah. "Are you okay?"Ji Ae asked. "Right, you didn't get hurt right?" Yu Ah asked. Yu Ah, even though she looks tsundere, her character is totally opposite. She is a really sweet girl. Same goes with Bo Young. "No, nothing happened. I didn't get hurt. I'm alright." Bo Young said to them with a smile. "Phew, thank god that guy blocked the ball, otherwise u might've been bruised. Wait, is that a bandage on your face? I never saw that when I talked to you before. Now seeing it up close I can see it. What happened?" Ji Ae asked. Bo Young hesitated to tell. She changed the topic. "Isn't the match interesting? Haha." Bo Young awkwardly changed the topic.

"WOAHHHHHHHHHH!!" the basketball court was filled with screams. The girls got distracted by it. Bo Young thought: "Phew, I was literally caught. Even though it's going to be disclosed one day. Let's not care about that for now." "It seems like Hyun Wook sunbae took the game point for his team. Wow, he is really cool" Ji Ae said. "What are you talking about? Kim Dong Hoon sunbae told him to do it." Yu Ah added. "Okay, okay. Everything was done by your Dong Hoon sunbae, alright? Geez." Ji Ae mocked her. "What are you guys talking about? Is it something I should not know about?" Bo Young asked curiously. "Nope. When the whole school knows, there's nothing wrong if you know it." Ji Ae said. "Really? What is it the whole school knows?" Bo Young was very curious. "Yu Ah and Dong Hoon sunbae started dating a month ago." Bo Young was really surprised. "Really? You guys are dating? Woah..who asked who out first?"

"Yu Ah liked Dong Hoon sunbae for a really long time. She finally mustered up her courage and asked him out. It seems that Dong Hoon sunbae also liked her. I don't how he got to know her." Ji Ae explained. "Hey, just tell that you are jealous of my relationship with him." Yu Ah talked back. "Ji Ae, you will also get a guy, don't worry." Bo Young joined the conversation. "What about you?" Yu Ah asked. "Yeah, you?" Ji Ae asked too. "Me? What about me?" Bo Young told. "Boyfriend. Do you have a boyfriend?" Yu Ah told. "Oh, I- I don't have one." Bo Young told. "What?!" The both exclaimed. "Why are you being shocked with my response? When Ji Ae told she didn't have one, you both had no reaction." Bo Young said. "How could someone like you don't have a boyfriend? You are really pretty and your personality is also the same. It's unbelievable." Ji Ae added.

"I'm not interested too. Who is that? I'm seeing this face again." Bo Young told and tried to change the topic. "Don't change the-" Ji Ae was interrupted. "Hey, Ji Ae it's, it's Yeong Hyun." Yu Ah was stuttering. Bo Young was puzzled in between them. "Huh? Yeong Hyun? Which Yeong Hyun." Ji Ae asked. "Hey! Don't talk as if there are many Yeong Hyun. Lim Yeong Hyun! Your Lim Yeong Hyun." Yu Ah kept pulling Ji Ae back and forth. "WHAT????!! Yeong Hyun is back? Where?" Ji Ae told very shockingly. "There! There! Can you see?" Yu Ah pointed her hand. "Right. He was the one I asked. I saw him many times today." Bo Young told. "What??!" Ji Ae and Yu Ah shouted chorally. "Why?? Is there something wrong?" Bo Young asked being scared. "Why didn't you tell earlier?" Ji Ae asked. "Well, I did ask earlier. By the way, 'your' Yeong Hyun?" Bo Young told. "Huh? Oh, that is.." Ji Ae told but hesitated and looked at Yu Ah. "If it's something I should not know, it's okay, I will forget about it. You don't have to tell me." Bo Young assured them. "It's nothing like that. Nobody knows it except me. That was why she was hesitant. She will tell you." Yu Ah told Bo Young. "Ah, it's-it's that we have been close since elementary school, since then I like him." Ji Ae told. "Woah, I've never seen a situation like this. Are you guys really close now too? How did you never show it to him?" Bo Young told really surprised.
