Kibum POV
My name is Kim Kibum. I’m currently 17 years old and a senior at Seoul Public High School. Right now, I'm doing homework with my friends at school.
“I don’t understand this. Can any of you teach me?” Jinki said, pointing at the mathematics book.
“Don’t ask me, I’m always sleeping when Mr. Dong teaches us about math stuff,” Minho said.
“Minho, you’re always sleeping no matter who teaches what,” Taemin said.
“How? Won’t he get in trouble if he gets caught?” I asked.
“Because he always puts his hand on his forehead, his eyes are covered, and he always holds his pen, so when they see him, they’ll think that he’s listening to what they’re saying,” Taemin explained.
“I don’t care about that. Kibum, can you teach me?” Jinki asked, and I immediately complied.
When we finished, the sky was already dark.
“Minho… Can you walk me home?” Taemin asked.
“Taemin, you’re not a girl. You can walk yourself home,” Minho said.
“B-but, what if I get hurt while I going home alone?” Taemin whined.
“Okay, okay, fine. I’ll go. Bye Kibum, Jinki,” Minho said, as he started to walk away.
“Bye Kibum, bye Jinki,” Taemin said, and he followed Minho.
“Kibum, do want me to walk you home?” Jinki asked me.
“Oh… no… I can go home alone. Besides, I’m not a girl,” I said.
“But Kibum, what if you get hurt? It’s nighttime already. It’s dangerous to be alone at this time.”
“Oh… okay then.”
Then we walked away from school. Actually, Jinki’s house was just 3 blocks away from school, but he insisted on walking me home. Jinki lived alone in Seoul; his parents had to move to Incheon because of his father’s work, but Jinki insisted on living in Seoul. When I arrived at home, I went the bathroom, took a bath, and went to my bedroom, lying down on my bed.
Lee Jinki… is actually my crush. He’s handsome, kind hearted, and cute. But there’s one thing that I don’t like about him. Even though he always gave me a hope, I knew that he already had a girlfriend.

“Minho, can you help me?” Taemin said.
“What?” asked Minho.
“My pen won’t work,” And Minho went to help.
“Minho’s weakness is Taemin,” Jinki said.
“Huh?” I didn’t understand.
“He’s always helping Taemin, even when it looks like he doesn’t want to.”
“But I love seeing them like that,” I said.
“And I love you, Kibum.”
Ah… there’s more

“When I graduate, I want to go to college, and then I’ll marry Minho” Taemin said. “What about you, Kibum?”
“I want to go to college, find a good job, and get married when I’m 27 years old,” I said.
“Jinki?”
“Same with you all and I wanted to marry you, Kibum,” he said, and then his phone rang. He excused himself to answer the call. I knew my expression was priceless at that moment.
“What about you Minho?”
“Same with you.”
“You want to marry me?”
“Hn.”
“Yayy~.” and then Jinki came back. “Sorry, I have to go meet someone. See you later,” and he walked away. He just said that he wanted to marry me, and then he walked away like nothing happened. Lee Jinki… I HATE YOU!!
Actually, when I said I hated him, I didn’t mean it. I was just angry because he just walked away like that. I still love him now. But I knew that day, he met up with his girlfriend; I saw them. Sigh, Lee Jinki… if you didn’t love me, why did you lead me on? It hurts to know that the expectation you gave me was a big lie.
Next day
“Kibumie~”
“Morning, Taemin-ah,” I greeted him.
“Morning. Guess what?”
“What?”
“Yesterday, Minho asked me to be his boyfriend!” he said happily.
“Taeminie~ I’m happy for you.”
“So, what about you and Jinki?”
“Me and Jinki?”
“I know you like him. Even Minho can feel it.”
“But, Taemin... I-”
“Don’t lie to me, Kibum. Don’t say that you don’t love him, because I know for a fact, that you do.”
“But, he already has a girlfriend, and they look very happy together.”
“I’ll talk to him.”
“No… I don’t want to ruin our friendship. Besides, if he’s happy, I’m happy.”
“But, Kibumie he-”
“I don’t want to talk about it again, ok? Let’s go, I don’t want to be late,” I said, and walked away.
When lunchtime came, Jinki called me. He said that he wanted to talk to me at the rooftop. I went there and I saw that he already arrived.
“Jinki,” I called.
“Kibum, come here,” he said, and I went to sit next to him.
“What do you want to talk about?” I asked.
“Taemin told me.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“He told me what you guys were talking about this morning.”
Taemin told Jinki that I loved him.
“But Jinki, I-”
“I love you too, Kibum.”
“Huh?”
“I love you, Kibum.”
Again. He’s always like this. He tells me that he loves me, gives me a hope, and I know that he’s laying.
“I love you,” he said again.
“Please Jinki, don’t talk like that,” Tears started to form in my eyes.
“But Kibum-”
“No… don’t talk as if you actually love me, because I know you don’t. It hurts so much, Jinki. It hurts,” I knew I was sobbing right now.
“But Kibum, I really do love you,” he said, holding my hand.
“What about your girlfriend?”
“We broke up 2 months ago.”
“Don’t lie to me Jinki! I saw you and her together, 2 weeks ago.”
He hugged me, and I snuggled into his warm chest, “She knew that I loved you, so she asked to break up with me, and she told me to tell you that I love you. But I was afraid that you didn’t love me back, so when Taemin told me that you loved me, I had the courage to tell you, I love you, Kibum.”
“So when you told me that you loved me and wanted to marry me, was that true?”
“Of course it’s true, and I really mean it,” he pushed me back a little, so he can see my face. “Kibum, would you be my boyfriend?”
“Of course I want to, Jinki,” And he kissed me, his lips were so soft, I love it.
From now on, I’m not just his friend, but also his boyfriend. Ah… Lee Jinki, I love you so much~.
