I was walking to the closest convenience store to buy some seasoning to help my mom cook.

I was walking with music blasting through my wired earphones. I saw a couple of high school girls talking but I also noticed something different about them.

They are talking to each other but why is one of them pulling the other one down and suddenly all 3 of them gather in front of her? Are they going to pick a fight here? I can't let that happen in public.

"Hey!" I screamed at them. "What do you think you are doing?"

They flinched at my sudden scream so they backed away from the girl that was on the ground. I could tell from their faces that they were trying to think of a good excuse. Kids nowadays.

After a long silence,

"She is our friend. We were talking to her but and she walked away but we weren't done yet so my friend decided to pull her but she was used to pull things hard cause her backpack was heavy so she didn't control her strength." Her friend said.

"But you don't need to pull me and push me down like that my dear friends." the girl that fell said while she stand up straight, brushing the dirt off her clothes.

That voice, Why does she sound like someone I know when I was younger? Those brown eyes, that high nose, that bow lip shape, small face, her broad shoulders, Why does she look like me? Why does she look so similar to someone I know before? Why does she have that necklace?

"It's okay. I'm fine. Thank you so much." I snapped out of my thoughts ended up seeing the girl walking away while the other 3 went the other direction.

"Wait up!" I screamed a little from behind and ran to catch up with her. "What is your name?"

What is up with all the guy asking for my name today?

"I'm Choi Sihyun." I answered while smiling back.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Kim Seokjin." He said, returning the smile.

Why does he look a lot like me when he is smiling? The features, his eyes, his high nose, his lips, his small face, his broad shoulder, Why does he look so similar to me?

"Can I get your number so that we could keep in contact?" He said making me jump back to reality.

"Oh! Yeah! Sure!" I said panicking, not sure with what I saying. I quickly gave him the number and left.

Why does he look so similar though? Maybe I'm just thinking too much. I should give my mind a rest.

"I'm here." I said as the kids came running towards me.

"We miss you so much!" The young kids said that made your heart melt.

"I miss you guys too." You said as you give a light kiss on the cheek for each one.

"The dinner is ready. Let's go eat dinner Sihyun." The chef said as he came and greeted you after school.

After you were done eating dinner, you went back to your room to do some homework but something interrupted you.

RINGGG

I picked up the phone to see an unknown number calling me. Without hesitation, I accepted the call.

Unknown \\ Sihyun

Hello! Is this Sihyun?

Yes, that is me.

Do you remember me? Seokjin?

Yes I do! Why are you calling
me now Seokjin?

You don't need to call my full name. Call me Jin.

Ok Jin. But why are you
calling me this hour though?

Oh! About that, I just want to know you better because you seem like a nice girl.
How old are you?

I am 16 years old.

Looks like you are younger
than me so call me oppa.
I am 20 years old.

Ok.

...........

I think you are really tired
right now after your long
day at high school so I
will see you later and
let you rest.

Ok! Goodnight Jin oppa and
see you later.

Goodnight Sihyun.

The call has ended

What is wrong with every guy wanting to be my friend today? Nah I shouldn't think too much and go to sleep.

The next day

While I was walking to school, Someone screamed my name.

"Sihyun!!" When I looked back, Jin oppa was behind me. I slowed down so that he could catch up with me.

"What are you doing here Jin oppa?" You asked as you were confused why he followed you to school.

"Oh! I was just checking up on you to see if you are okay from yesterday's incident." he said, his face filled with worries.

"I'm okay. I will take care of myself Jin oppa. You don't need to worry." I said that since I don't want him to worry because he is still a stranger to me.

"Be careful okay Sihyun?" He said as he waved at me and went somewhere.

"Bye!!!!!" I screamed and waved at his direction.

How did I not get shy when screaming 'goodbye' to a person I rarely know?

"Sihyun!!" Another scream was heard and it was from Jimin. I waved and fasten the pace to catch up with Jimin.

Why does he always dress like he is a top model? He always look so stunning and charming.

"Woah! I didn't know a yellow plaid shirt goes well with a leather jacket" I said as I eyed him up and down.

"You like me?" He said as he went close to me and bit his lip.

"Nahh I'm just kidding. My best friend is a stylist so I asked him what goes best with a plaid shirt and this was what he recommended." he said as he straighten the shirt.

"Oh okay." I said and the bell rang so we hurried and go to class.

In class

"Good morning students. Hope you all have your breakfast and get ready for our first class." He greeted the whole class while the students groaned, annoyed not wanting to study and do the works.

"Good morning sir." The students greeted back.
