Love And Fame

Chapter 3: how?

Jayviee's POV

This is where I first fell for him. Every morning I saw him on the train with his hair fresh from the shower; he's sweating too much to catch up with the train going to school.

He sat at the edge on the same bench as mine, catching his breath and wear his earphone.

While I keep looking at him and the book than him again, at last, the train came.

I sat across him so that I can see his face. Clearly, I saw his ID lace, and it was the same as mine.

We go to the same school.

I observe him from afar; then, I always give him his favorite snacks that he usually buys. Every time he passes the hallway to the canteen, I keep my distance; I cover myself up with a mask and a hat. He never accepts any of those treats. Only his friend does.

I even put my initials there, JV.

We go to school and home at the same time. I always sat across from him, and my house was just 2 blocks away from his.

One morning, I was too tired and kept practicing until 2 AM for the upcoming event. I rushed to the bus station feeling nauseous and sleepy.

I woke up with a jacket covering my legs

Such a gentleman or a gentle lady

I ran out and looked everywhere, but I will keep this jacket until I meet him.

I did the same routine. I went to the canteen to buy a bottle of water and headed straight to our practice room. I secured the bandages.

My teammates said, "You have your fan club again," they said as they giggled, "ohh~ someone's new" they smiled.

I look at the door, and I can clearly see him, Park Sunghoon, the boy I always admired from afar.

I stripped and injured my foot.

I again look at the door, but he is nowhere in sight. I sighed

I approached my coach, and he was soo mad because I didn't take care of myself. He did some counseling to me and made me sit down for the rest of the day.

I checked my wristwatch and packed my things early to catch up with the train.

I saw the old lady entering, but no one stood up for her. So I offered my seat. I plucked my earphones on and just listened to the music when someone keeps pushing in, then stopped behind me.

I turned around and met his eyes; it's dazzling. My body is getting hotter and hotter; he said that someone is about to reach my phone in my pocket. What made it worst when the next stop came, and the people were pushing their way out. I can't maintain my balance because my other foot was injured, and I fell into his arms.

People's eyes were focusing on us. That's when he let go of me then sat. I searched for another vacant seat, but there's nothing left but only to his side.

I preferred to stand up. It was embarrassing when I lost my balance and ended up sitting beside him. We spoke to each other.

My body felt like it was melting away like water that goes on with the flow. This was just a part of my dream, to be close to the guy I like. I kept my distance for years, and this was a dream come true; speaking with him face to face is something that my heart wanted.

He kept his eyes on me as I hold on to the railings to help me go up. I turned down his favor of giving me a lift, but he's too stubborn and just carried me bridal style.

Stop doing this.. it makes my heart flutter more.

He drops me to a bench then reached for his backpack
What is he doing?

"Why can't you take care of yourself.. ballerina's are fragile, you know" he reached for the ointment in his bag and applied it on my foot, then I covered it up with a bandage. He even signed it. Get well soon ballerina-Sunghoon

"How come you're so nice to me?" I asked him

Our question and answer portion go on then he carried me at his back because he told me not to move my foot for about 2-3 days.

I pointed at my house, and he dropped me off as soon as my mom appeared in front of him.

"Is that the guy you have a crush on for years?" My mom asked, and she stocked her eyes on him

"Yep.. isn't he a gentleman?" I smiled as I also look at him being flustered on his way home

"You've spent your allowance going to every contest he goes, yet he doesn't even recognize you," my mom complained.

"Mom~~ he noticed me couldn't you see?" I giggled

"Aigooo~ I shouldn't have signed you up being a figure skater," she sighed.

"Why?? I didn't see him for the past 4 years. I saw him at the train station, it was love at first sight" I am daydreaming again and thanks to my mother's slap, I woke up.

"What happened to your foot?" My mom pointed down

"I fell" I rub the back of my head

She continued slapping me

"I told you to take care of yourself~," my mom said as she scanned my foot.

"It's okay.. it will be gone after a day or two," I told her, and we went to eat.
