“Don’t you think it’s a bit sad that we’re almost the end of our year?” Seulgi sighed.

“Soon enough, we will be going to college and then start working and then get married…”

“Let’s just stick to the college first, all right?” Yuri commented and Seulgi rolled her eyes.

“I’m just saying.”

“But yeah…like she said, the end of our year is coming and…I don’t know if I could ever see you guys again.” Inhae said after.

The gang silenced.

Inhae felt High School was the best thing that had ever happened in her life, even if she felt like hell. Because, when she comes to school, she would have her friends, she finally knew the meaning of friends and…she got to meet him again.

Jongin.

He was the reason of why she would be smiling in the morning, because she had seen his stupid face. He was the reason that she would be blushing like crazy just because of a simple act that he does.

And she would be all happy because Jongin was just there.

And she didn’t know if the end of her high school year was a good thing – because she won’t be seeing him again. Maybe it was for the better, but she still couldn’t shake the heavy feelings in her heart of knowing that she won’t see him again.

The fact that they would be graduating soon never felt so real until Inhae finally seeking some college website with Seulgi.

“Where do you want to go?”

Inhae had shrugged. She doesn’t really have much choice. She has an average grades so she couldn’t be going to a prestigious college and she doesn’t really have any talent in sports or art to go to special college.

“I take what I can get.”

“You seem rather relaxed with this.”

Inhae shrugged again.

It seemed like forever talking about choosing a college and Seulgi always complained that no college would accepted her in which Inhae would just rolled her eyes and told her that – she was smart, any college would love to take her in.

Inhae didn’t know if she and Seulgi’s talking about college would grab someone’s attention, because clearly – it wasn’t that interesting to be look at. But, Inhae felt it.

You know when you’re being watched. The feeling of it and Inhae’s sixth sense was telling her the exact same thing – someone was watching her.

She paused at laughing on Seulgi’s joke and glanced up – almost quickly, Jongin looked away.

Inhae’s lips went dry.

Jongin looked in front of the class. His back was leaning against the wall and his fingers tapped on the desk.

Inhae could have sworn she saw him looking at her way. She saw it. She really did.

Was he looking at her?

Was he staring at her laughing?

Did he find her amusing?

Did he find her pretty?

Inhae felt giddy, like she was flying.

She wanted to say otherwise, but her other self was busy feeling so happy that she forgot everything.

Inhae felt like her brain was splitting into two when the school had ended. It wasn’t because she was too tired of the classes but rather the constant selfies that she had to endure.

They said that it was for the memories, but Inhae felt like it was just to update on the social network before deleting it for not having enough space – like Seulgi was doing, she had already updated the pictures online.

Inhae didn’t say anything of course and just let the girl be.

“Inhae!”

The said girl stopped, turning around.

“Hey,” Seolhyun smiled.

Inhae had wondered why the girl suddenly called for her and it turned out that she wanted to borrow some money and when Inhae had asked what for, the girl just pointed at Jongin and Sehun that was walking at the back.

“I need to pay Jongin to buy something for me.” Seolhyun rolled her eyes. “But don’t worry, I’ll pay it back to you tomorrow.”

Inhae had no trouble on helping her, and she gave the exact money that the girl had asked for. She could hear the boys getting nearer and her heart thumped.

Just the thought of getting near him excited her so much.

“This is the money. Don’t forget to buy it for me tomorrow.”

Inhae wanted to know what the thing that Seolhyun had asked Jongin to buy, but when she heard Jongin’s soft humming – she just decided it’s better to not know and just get away from them, or more exactly – him.

She was already walking away when she heard Seolhyun calling for her name again and she turned. The girl smiled, waved and yelled that she’s gonna pay it tomorrow before walking to the other direction.

Inhae had just smiled, of course.

Jongin’s soft humming run smooth to her ears and she swore her heart stopped when he walked passed her.

“I’m falling for you…I didn’t realize it…now I need you…”

She stopped walking when Jongin’s soft voice sang.

It was just a song.

It was just a stupid song.

It didn’t mean anything.

Stop thinking about it.

Just stop thinking about it.

Inhae just watched him walked away.
