"sungmin sshi,"
i put an intensive glare when he call my name, anxiously i look back and forth, and i can see some students still in the hallway. why must he follow me? i grunted in my mind.
taking steps toward his way, i didn't even spare a glance as i just walk pass him.
i still think ryeowook is out of her mind though, falling in love with a weak, nerdy and useless man. i can hear a heavy steps behind me, and sure i know whose that, so i directed my way to a more secluded place where there is less people.
I choose the back garden, the empty small corner where there are no one around. once we reach the end of the corner, i twirl my body to see him only a few steps away.
"what do you want?" i know i sound harsh , but at least i got to the point.
i saw kyuhyun staring at me closely. this man surely have guts. i lean back to the wall, putting my bag on the grass. he seems like have so many things in his mind, and i take my time to observe him.
what did ryeowook see from this man?
cho kyuhyun isn't in the same class as ryeowook and I, and i didn't curious enough to know him further. this man is tall, my height only reach his shoulder, and i'm not that short. the black rimmed glasses riding on his tall nose, hiding the black orbs. he has a beautiful eyes, long eyelashes that could make me quickly turn my eyes away when our gaze met. his wavy brown hair make him looks fair, a bit pale for my liking.
he's cute though, i admit in my head. but still not my type.
i stopped observing him when i see him moving, eyes didn't leave me, as he leaning his back on the wall beside me.
"can't i see my girlfriend?"
i cursed n my head, suddenly regretting my own decision. But he sound desperate, and so I hold back my wish to escape this place.
"i told you to make this secret, if you tailing me around, i don't think this will works," i intended to make him feel inconvenience, because the image of this nerd following me around with his puppy lovesick irk me to the core.
i know why i'm doing this, and i still want to do this. but, still..
suddenly a mobile phone was shoved in front of me, and i frown in annoyance,
"wha-"
"give me your number," he said in hoarse voice,
i received the smartphone, looking on it for a while before finally punching the number.
"isn't it funny?" his question brought my attention back at him. facing his side profile.
"you're my girlfriend, yet i don't have your number,".
girlfriend.
the realization struck me like a storm. that label was actually belong to ryeowook if only kyuhyun loved her.
If kyuhyun was given time to know my bestfriend more, will he like her? Then again. If everybody does, why doesn’t he?
Being kyuhyun’s girlfriend is a position that my best friend would be willing to do anything. i felt a funny feeling creeping inside me, it's something i called satisfaction. ego, an authority, superiority. something that only me can have it. not ryeowook.
i own something that ryeowook wish to have.
"why do you like me?" i tilt my head, only to see kyuhyun's eyes.gazing at me softly. i think i can start to like the feeling, you know, being loved..
"because it's you,"
i chuckle, "that's lame, come on, i'm curious,"
i tensed when i felt his big hand holding mine, i was about to pull my hand back, but he knew and holding my hand tighter.
"i don't know why i like you in the first place, all i know was that you being inside my head for months now," he bent down a bit to make us face to face. i back off a little when our distance became too close to my liking.
I take back my words, i don't like this feeling.
I push him, heart beating faster than i thought, i take my bag and thinking fastof how to escape this place as fast as possible.
"I'm going home now," i said without looking back, didn't wait for his answer either.
he doesn't follow me this time. curiosity actually make me want to look back, but no. i keep walking, choosing to think about what i shall do next, forgetting the pounding in my heart.

His life is planned well. On schedule, straight on the right path.
He has vision to finish high school with high score, has a dream to continue his live as a geek by entering technology department in seoul university. For kyuhyun, his life was already decided, there's no place for other thing such as dating or goofing around just for fun and his parents are well proud with him.
Maybe his life is boring for most people, but this is the life he enjoyed. But it's "her" that screwing up his life big time. It's her that caught his attention. And it's her whom he chose to love from all of the girls in the school. It's lee sungmin. Falling in love was not in his agenda, yet he did.
~
waking up from his nap in the sunny sunday morning (10 a.m actually, he’s not a morning person) , the first thing that come into his mind is the face of his said girlfriend. The owner of the beautiful but cold hazel eyes.
It's striking beautiful in kyuhyun's eyes, that sometime s it's scare him, is her heart as cold as her eyes?
Why does someone as pretty as sungmin can be so stoic, he know she's an introvert. A result of kyuhyun’s observation. But there's a big invisible wall surrounding her, making her unaproachable.
It's the first time he ever feels something like this, feeling the urge to hold someone, so caring over someone he barely know. It's magical, the love itself, it makes him wonder to no end.
Catching the sight of his smart phone on the bed, he took it and scrolling over his phonebooks. It's funny how he finally have his girlfriend's number after they're dating (8 days precisely), sungmin seemed unwilling to share her number and the thought make him sad. His finger stopped at a certain number, tap on it to see the detail.
Sungmin.
Why did she accept him when it's obviously she didn't have feeling for him. That day, on his confession day, he was ready to accept a rejection just like every other boys in school who tried their luck over the ballerina. It's a public secret that sungmin always turned down every love confession directed at her, that finally the rumors taken its toll.
Girls that envy her start sprouting hatred, calling her names while the rejected one moving their attention to the girl's bestfriend, kim ryeowook. Small girl with big eyes and loud voice.
*are you free today?*
he send a text message, anxiously waiting for reply. The buzz in his phone make him exhale in relieved, didn't realize that he held his breath all along.
*why?*
biting his full bottom lip, kyuhyun is considering how to tell his intention,
*i have 2 movie tickets, go with me?*
the reply come a bit longer than the first, but he happy that at least there's a reaction from his girlfriend.
*what time?*
kyuhyun just can't describe how big his lips stretched out right now, he's too happy that he throw his phone on the bed right away after sending his last reply. Sungmin maybe doesn't love him, but she accept him, then that's must be meant something. There's a hope. After all, there is a say that Love will grow as time goes by, right? his first love, it wouldn't be as bad as it may seem, right?
right?
