Fantasy | Takata Mashiho

♡ eleven

Minji

Ever since the day me and Mashiho had coffee, we grew closer with each other. It has been a few months now and the awkwardness with each other is gone. We're almost best friends at this point.

Getting coffee to work together is now our routine. Eating together has been a routine now, too. We even wait for each other now. And everytime we're together there is always a topic. We never run out of it.

I recalled the day I saw Mashiho laughing with Haruto. That day, I wished that he could be like that to me too. And now, that wish came true.

I love when he's around.

A day without him would be gloomy.

My feelings for him are still here but it wasn't an obstacle for our friendship.

Whenever I realize that we could only be friends of course it hurts. But I love Mashiho. I love Takata freaking Mashiho. That is why I won't sacrifice our friendship for the selfish loving I desire from him. His smiles and laughter with me are enough.

"Ms. Cho! Come on!"

I was waken up from my day dreaming when Geum started pulling my arm.

"Ms. Cho it's no fun if you don't join us!" My kid whined and so did the other kids.

They seem to be enjoying the field trip in Iksan earlier. I don't want to be dragged into this, I feel tired from yesterday's parent meeting.

Goodness gracious! I held a parent meeting for both my kids and second graders. Most parents were like wild animals. Their questions and complaints were too much.

"Come on, Ms. Cho!" The kids whined in chorus.

My gaze went to Mashiho who was by the side of the seesaw carrying Dayeon while smiling at me.

Oh gosh, he looks like a father in that pose. ♡

"Minji-ah, join the fun." Mashiho joined the kids. "It's no fun without you."

I heard loud sounds from afar and saw Yoshi and a few more teachers gathering their students back to the busses. It's almost time, and I want these kids to have fun at every second!

I smiled at my kids, and imitated a zombie voice and posture. "I'm going to eat black-haired children~!"

They started shouting and running around avoiding me. I couldn't help but laugh too. Yes, it is more fun if we are all together.

Mashiho

I checked on the kids one last time and they are all fast asleep.

I smiled.

How cute.

They were all so tired from playing non-stop. We did went to a lot of places and this is the only time they got rest. It's good for them.

I went back to my seat and stared at the pretty girl beside me who is fast asleep too.

I leaned closer to her and admired her snow white skin. Oh, how I badly want to touch her skin but I can't. And those plump peachy lips of hers makes me want to kiss her. And her beautiful big brown eyes and those long lashes. Her cute nose is what whips me most.

A pretty girl with beautiful a personality.

I thought they only existed in fantasies.

Why haven't I met you sooner?

"Minji-ah... you are so beautiful," I whispered. "Inside and out."

My eyes widened when her head suddenly fell on the window which made a slightly loud thump.

She groaned and scratched her head. But I know this girl when she sleeps. When she is asleep, she is deep in sleep. A bump isn't enough to wake her up.

I chuckled as I gently took her head and slowly placed it by my shoulder. "Aigoo, tired Minji."

My heart fluttered feeling her head on my shoulder. I badly want to stroke her hair and rest my head on hers too.

Yeah, and I can't help but do it.

She's asleep anyway. She wouldn't know.

I found myself smiling with a heart thumpiny loudly in bliss and happiness.

Oh, how I wish I could tell you that I love you.

But I have no clue whether you like me too.

I don't know what to do.

I don't want to mess up our friendship. But I can't bear not being able to hold you.

It's torture.

I wish you are mine, Cho Minji.
