“Sungyeol give me back my hat!” I yelled, desperately jumping to get my hat. But standing at 5’1 I knew that Sungyeol had the clear advantage.

“Oh c’mon shorty just a little more” he teased. I glared at him and quickly kicked his shin. He immediately fell down to his knees.

“I may be short but I’m not stupid. I’m not going to keep blindly jumping like an idiot,” I commented, taking my hat out of his hands. He scrunched his forehead in pain.

“You could’ve had at least a little mercy on me,” He groaned. I rolled my eyes and walked away,

“Have mercy… aish this punk wants me to have mercy on him even though he’s the one that is bullying me?” I muttered to myself.

“Wait up!...” Sungyeol called running after me. I continued walking while grumbling towards myself. “C’mon boo… you know I just do it for your attention,” he cooed. I kept my distance from him. He always did this to me. He always liked to flirt with me and then he would turn around and bully me. I hated it.

The worse part was that he would always tease me about my height. I used to desire to be taller just to rub it in to Sungyeol’s face, but now I want to have a boyfriend. I want to have a boyfriend that’s taller than me that will defend me from evil ol’ Sungyeol.

“Just go away Sungyeol I’m done with you today,” I told him, walking home. He followed me anyways, but when I slammed the door in his face he left. I grabbed my tennis racket and some money and headed towards some nearby tennis courts.

I would always go here when I was frustrated. I would sweat it out with the machines. I hit ball after ball until finally someone grabbed my racket out of my hands.

“Yah tomorrow you’re going to have a sore arm,” my friend, and Sungyeol’s friend, Myungsoo said.

“I can’t help it… Sungyeol just pisses me off!” I told him. He smiled and suggested we sit down some near by benches.

“Yeah Sungyeol called me saying that here to screwed up big time and he didn’t mean to piss you off,” He told me.

“So are you here to convince me that Sungyeol isn’t a bad person and I should just forget about him picking on me?” I wondered. He shook his head.

“I’m here to tell you to quit suffering and just admit that you two like each other already?” He stated. I choked on my spit.

“H-how can you say that! All that jerk ever does is bully me! How is it possible that he likes me?” I wondered out loud.

“Well have you ever considered that maybe he bullies you for your attention?” Myungsoo suggested. I rolled my eyes.

“Yah we aren’t 12 it’s not like we do that stuff anymore,” I scolded him. He merely chuckled.

“Well Sungyeol is a choding…” Myungsoo defended. I rolled my eyes and stood up to play with the machine again.

“Well he’s annoying. If he likes me why can’t he just tell me!” I yelled, going after a tennis ball.

“Sungyeol isn’t that kind of guy… plus imagine how lonely you would be if he wasn’t around you all of the time?” He mentioned. I sighed and stopped chasing tennis balls for a second.

“Well… sure I would be kind of lonely… but at least I wouldn’t be bullied all the time. I mean is it too much to ask for a guy that’s tall, that I care for that could defend me from Sungyeol?” I wondered out loud before going back to hitting tennis balls.

“Maybe it’s because you don’t need defending,” Myungsoo replied. I rolled my eyes and kept playing. “Look I’m going to leave. Don’t over do it or your arm is going to be sore tomorrow,” He warned me. I waved at him shortly and continued to play.

When I was sure he was out of sight I stopped and sat on a bench wondering if he could be right.

“Myungsoo is a pretty observant guy… but there’s no way that Sungyeol likes me right?” I wondered to myself. I pulled my hair and frustration and decided to leave the courts. Myungsoo was right… if I over did it my arm would be sore tomorrow, that is if I hadn’t already over done it.

[The next day]

As I was getting ready for school I noticed how much my arm hurt. I rolled my eyes and imagined the “I told you so” lecture that I was going to get from Myungsoo. As I was heading out of my house I ran in to him.

“Morning Shorty,” Sungyeol called. I rolled my eyes.

“Yah why do you insist on picking on me so early in the morning,” I muttered. He merely grinned and followed.

“I haven’t even done anything yet,” He responded. I shrugged.

“It’s only a matter of time Sungyeol. It’s the same thing every morning. Don’t you ever get tired of it?” I questioned. He shrugged.

“As long as I get to see you no… I’ll never get tired of it,” He added. I swore my heart skipped a beat. I didn’t want to admit it, but I felt something. I brushed it off and continued to walk.

“Just stop being so annoying,” I muttered. Suddenly, Sungyeol wasn’t by my side and I was walking alone. I wanted to turn around and ask him why he stopped, but I was too proud. I continued walking until I got to my classroom at school.

[Later at Lunch]

I sat eating my lunch with a couple friends, but I was surprised that Sungyeol hadn’t come by to annoy me. Don’t get me wrong it was refreshing, but I didn’t understand why all the sudden he stopped. I looked around the cafeteria I noticed that he was eating with his buddy and some girl in our class.

“Well look at that…I think Sungyeol has finally come down to earth. Wasting his time with you would let down the whole student body. I mean what makes you think that he was really going to fall for you,” The school’s brat said behind me. I turned and rolled my eyes at her.

“Oh please it’s not like I wanted him to fall for me anyways. I’m happy he’s finally left me alone now I can have some peace,” I replied.

“Yeah whatever helps you sleep at night freak,” the brat said. I shrugged as she walked away, but apparently what she said got the attention of one of my friend’s.

“It’s kind of weird though. Doesn’t Sungyeol like tease you constantly? What makes today different?” She wondered. I shrugged.

“Who cares a little less of that giant won’t hurt me any,” I responded. I felt a little pulling at my heart when I said that, but I ignored it and continued on.

[Later that Day]

I’m not going to lie, I was expecting to walk home with Sungyeol, but he never showed up. I walked home by myself kicking a pebble around wondering why I even cared that he wasn’t around. I rubbed my sore shoulder in thought.

Shouldn’t I be happy that he wasn’t annoying me anymore? As I kicked the pebble I ran in to someone.

“Oh… sorry,” I apologized. Then I looked up to see a smirking Myungsoo.

“Sore arm huh?” He questioned. I glared and shrugged.

“So… are you here to tell me I told you so?” I wondered. He nodded.

“Actually I was right on both accounts. Aren’t you missing Sungyeol?” He questioned. I sighed and sped up my walking.

“No why would I miss that jerk,” I questioned. A chuckle escaped from Myungsoo’s lips.

“I can see it on your face. You miss him and you’ll soon realize how much you actually like him,” He told me. I shoved him as I continued to walk.

“That’s ridiculous, okay sure I might miss his company a little, but I definitely don’t like him,” I replied. Myungsoo just shrugged at me,

“Whatever you say… anyways I have to go buy some things from the store. I’ll see you around,” He waved. I waved slightly at him.

There is no way I like Sungyeol like that… no way.. I kept repeating to myself.  

[The next day]

I walked outside expecting to see Sungyeol waiting for me but there was no sign of him. I started to think that maybe there was some sort of truth in what Myungsoo was saying.

I was kicking my legs across the pavement walking to school. Now I couldn’t help but be in constant thoughts of Sungyeol. I thought about his hair and how he always kept it well done. How cheery his smile was, and even how cute his childishness was. My heart beat wildly at the thought of him.

Even in class I would stare out of the window and remember all the flirty things he would say to me.

Maybe he did do it for my attention.

“So are you ready to admit that I’m right?” Myungsoo asked as we entered the school. I rolled my eyes and frowned.

“I miss him okay… and maybe I do like him, but it doesn’t mean he feels the same about me. Plus since when did you become such a know it all?” I wondered, feeling a little irritated at him.

“Sungyeol is my best friend. You don’t think he tells me these things?” He questioned. Again he was right. I chose not to answer him. “What are you going to do now?” He asked me. I shrugged.

“I guess I’ll try and talk to him…” I started. Myungsoo smiled softly at me.

“Good luck,” he wished. I nodded and walked towards my class. I knew today was going to be one long day at school.

All day, I was constantly day dreaming and wondering what Sungyeol was doing. Then I would scold myself for feeling so affectionate towards the giant.

When the end of the day finally came, I searched around to see if I could find him. It wasn’t hard considering that he was taller than most of the student body.

I spotted him and immediately ran up to him.

“Yah Sungyeol…” I called him. He turned with a surprised expression.

“I didn’t do anything wrong I swear,” He replied. I shook my head quickly.

“I know you didn’t… can we just talk and walk...” I drifted off feeling a bit awkward and antsy.

“Umm sure,” he answered in an unsure tone. At first it was silence but I knew I had to say something.

“Why have you been avoiding me?” I questioned straightforwardly. His lips formed a thin line before answering me.

“I don’t want you to think of me as your bully. I don’t want you to see me as some guy that constantly annoys you. I want you to look at me like a man.” He replied. I was curious as to what he meant.

“You know I have always seen you that way. You have always been my annoying, freakishly tall, tormentor. I always hoped that maybe I could find a boyfriend that would defend me from you but-“he quickly cut me off and grabbed my wrist bringing us to a stop.

“That the point. I don’t want you to look for anyone else but me. I want to be your boyfriend. I didn’t want to be your tormentor I seriously just wanted you to look at me for once. It’s funny. I’m tall but I had to snoop to bullying you to get your attention,” He drifted off. I smiled at his serious face. This was different to what I was accustomed to.

Normally he would just be happy and flirty, but this side of him was different. His serious, determined face is something different. In my eyes he looked elegant. I had never been memorized by a boy like this before.

“Then I won’t look away… just don’t leave me,” I told him grabbing his hand. His eyes widened slightly before turning he bursted in to a dorky grin.

“Y-you mean… you’ll be my girlfriend right?” He questioned. I smirked slyly at him.

“Ah… not just yet you have to woo me first!” I exclaimed letting his hand go. Then he pulled me in close and crashed his lips on to mine.

“How’s that for wooing?” He asked, after he kissed me. I felt like the world was swirling around me so the only thing I could formulate was a hug. Before I could bask in this moment for too long, Sungyeol grabbed my hat and help it above my head.

“Yah Sungyeol!” I yelled. He laughed loudly and I couldn’t help but giggle along. I thought we were the only ones enjoying this moment, but in a corner someone else was happy for us.

“It was about time Sungyeol got himself a girlfriend,” the figure commented to himself. He flashed his signature smirk before leaving the couple to enjoy some time together.
