One Wish

CHAPTER 44

  "S-Seven!! That's mean," I say as I cover my face with my hands. "Heh, you're so cute~ I-" I take a hold of his collar and try to match up the buttons. My hands are shaking like crazy, but after a little they calm down again. I feel like we're some old couple. Now the next thing for me to do would be to put his tie on, but I can't. I look up to see Seven's face. It's completely red. He looks at every move I make. When I finally get to the last two buttons which are pretty low, he grabs my hands. "Umm, I was kidding by the way, haha... I-I'll get these myself. Your bag is on the corridor bench."

Oh... It was just a joke...? I walk out of the room to check and he is right. I just walked into his trap. I can't believe I didn't think it was a joke. "Sorry...," and I put my hands on my face to cover my blush. "Haha, it's okay. You'll do me a favor someday for that," he laughs at me. "What? You pulled a prank on me and I fell into it. Why should I do something for you?" He smiles at me while putting on his tie. "Heh, you're right. You're so quick," and he ruffles my hair. "Hehe, of course I am." We both laugh. "Alright, let's get going." We both take our bags and start heading over to my place.

On our way there we hold hands. That's so sweet. When we get to my place I start to run around the room. The school stuff is all on the table, so it's easy to pack my bag. I then run upstairs to get my uniform on. I hope Seven doesn't casually walk in on me. Since I'm in a hurry, I leave my tie as is and run back downstairs. I take my bag and start running towards the door, but Seven stops me.

"Don't forget the breakfast." "Come on we're gonna be late!" "No!" He then pushes me to the kitchen, "Eat something," and he blocks the doorway. I look around the kitchen and then just take an apple. "Here, food." Seven sighs, "You should eat more than that, but okay. Let's go then." We then start running to school, because class is starting in 15 minutes. If we run, we will barely make it.

When we finally get to school the class has already started. Since we had different classes we wave each other goodbye and apologize for being late. After the class is over, we all get together. "Why were you both late to class?" asks Jumin, "It's not polite to do that." "Sorry, we slept in." "Both of you?" asks Yoosung, "how did you get here at the same time anyway if you slept in?" Saeran rolls his eyes. I look at Seven and he has a slight blush on his face. I hope they won't see it. "Did either of you stay at each other's place by any chance?" asks Jaehee. "W-what?? No! Of course not! Haha..." Such a believable answer. Zen then looks at Seven, "I hope you didn't do anything to her." "Of course I didn't. I won't let out my beast in front of a girl," he grins at Zen.

They all look at us. I don't want to know what they have in mind... Finally Yoosung says, "Seven, you're acting very weirdly. Did something happen?" "Huh? I am?" He sounds a pit nervous. "W-well, something did happen, but it's nothing... like... that..." I trail off. I'm just great at keeping secrets. Jaehee's eyes then go big, "Did you finally confess to MC?" "Is it really that obvious, haha...?" We both laugh awkwardly.

"Wow! Congrats, man! I hope you two are happy!" says Zen and everybody nods, "We have to celebrate. Let's go out somewhere tonight." We all happily agree. "Wow, I can't believe you're all okay with this. I thought we made an oath to not date each other?" "We did?" asks Saeran out of nowhere. He looks a bit worried for some reason. "Yeah, we did something like that a while back," says Yoosung. "Tsk," says Saeran quietly and looks away. "But you two are just soulmates so you go together very well. Really! Nothing can stop you two," says Yoosung. I start to blush so I put my hands on my face and look away. "Uwaa, stop it...!" We all laugh.

The school day goes by very fast, so soon it's time we go and celebrate our, as Seven calls it, "engagement". Whenever he says that, for some reason, I feel my heart fluttering. We basically just go to a bar and we drink a bit. Not too much though, since we are still young. "Wow, I didn't think he would have the guts to confess," says Saeran. "Did you really believe that I won't say it someday?" "I have to agree with Saeran. It really looked like you would never confess to MC," says Zen while drinking a second can of beer.

I then giggle and say, "Haha, don't be so mean." "How did you confess to her anyway?" "Well, he asked me if he should confess to his crush and I said he should and then he confessed to me." "I'm so happy for you two," says Jaehee. We then continue talking until it's so late, that drunk people start appearing. We then go on our usual home route and walk each other home.

When I finally get home, the first thing I do is take a shower. It feels nice and refreshing to feel warm water touch your skin like that. I think back to everything that has happened. I got to know how Seven really thinks about me and how much I have hurt him the whole time and I- I was touched by Seven... That thought should make me creeped out, but for some reason I'm smiling. The real Seven really is something. I'm glad he's opening up a bit more. He deserves to be treated like a real person, not some kind of a liar. I'm so happy for him.
