HANA POV

For the whole entire movie I was staring at Minki.  Well, almost, but anyway I was freaking out like crazy. I couldn’t believe he almost kissed me. He freaking almost kissed me! Oh my God! Now that I think about it I can just die right now. I can’t believe I pushed him away. God Hana you’re so stupid! You could have kissed the man of your stupid dreams! And look at what you do? You get nervous and shy and then you have to push him away out of shear panic. I am very disappointed in myself. Ugh, I’m so stupid.

I wonder what would have happened if I let him kiss me. Would we be a couple? Would we be just closer friends? Oh my God, what if would end up being so utterly and completely awkward that he would never read me Romeo and Juliette anymore and he would avoid me for the rest of my ridiculous loveless life?

…

No, you’re being stupid Hana. Stop jumping to weird conclusions…

Well, it’s been one week since that occurrence, and I’ve been slowly dying of anxiety. I still go to the library at lunch and he still reads me Romeo and Juliette. But, it hasn’t been the same. It’s been really awkward…I think. I don’t know. He wouldn’t look me in the eye anymore, he wouldn’t talk to me as much as he used to, and he’s always fidgeting and looks nervous all the time.

Is it because of me? Do I make him uncomfortable or something? Maybe he’s totally disgusted that he almost kissed me.

At the moment I am sitting at my desk, slowly being in the ground and dragged to my grave. I have never been this scared in my whole life. It kills me. It is killing me, slowly, and painfully.

“Hana,” Manwah whispered from her desk. I slightly turned my head in her direction trying not to make it obvious she was talking to me, because we sit in the front row. And the teacher is like right there.

“What?” I asked.

“You’re dazing out again. Snap out of it.” She said back.

“Oh…sorry,” I apologized turning my head back to the black board. The teacher had written some math equations. I cocked an eyebrow in confusion. When did he write that? I looked down on my desk and began copying the equations in my note book.

Oh my God, I feel like someone’s staring at me. Is it Minki? He sits right behind me. No, it couldn’t be…Why would he want to look at something as hideous as me? Ugh, that really made me depressed. I can’t get him out of my mind. He’s just glued there and can’t get out. Shoot, I’m dazing out again, come on Hana snap out of it, this is class. You can spas about Minki later.

“Mrs. Beaux.” The teacher called.

I jerked my head up in surprise.

“Y-yes?” I asked.

“Can you please change seats.” He told me. This caught my attention, and Manwah’s.

“Ah, okay.” I replied. “Where do I go?”

“Please sit next to Mr. Kim Jonghyun.” He motioned to the back. What? I have to sit next to Jr? No wait, think of the positives. I could help Manwah in this case, you know, find more info to see if he actually likes her.

I nodded my head in understand and stood up. I grabbed my stuff and glanced at Manwah who was frowning. She drew a little emoticon on a piece of paper. She showed it to me, it was two capital Ts forming a cry face. I frowned at her little picture but made my way to the back. Minki looked up at me, but the moment we made eye contact he looked down at his paper.

I really wanted to slap him with a whole bunch of questions right there, but obviously, I couldn’t. I sat next to Jr and placed my stuff on my new desk. Manwah was waving goodbye to me from her spot. I couldn’t help but shake my head with a playful smile on my face. She was too funny sometimes. She was acting as if this was the Titanic or something and Rose just let go of Jack’s hand.

“She is so silly.” I mumbled to myself.

“Who?” Jr asked looking right at me. I cocked a brow.

“Manwah.” I answered with a slight grin. At the sound of her name he became visibly red. My eyes grew wide, he is totally blushing!

“W-what are you looking at?” he tried to ask in a threatening way, which he failed to, slightly ducking his head to cover his face.

“You’re blushing.” I giggled.

“W-what?” Jr snapped a little too loudly causing a few heads to turn around. He became even redder. “I-I’m not blushing. I don’t blush.” He argued.

“Mhm right, your tomato face is saying otherwise.” I shot back.

“Sh-shut up. I not blushing.” He insisted. I rolled my eyes.

“You are really obvious, you know that?” I told him.

“What do you mean?” I asked cautiously.

“That you like Manwah,” I finished. His eyes grew wide and his cheeks became flaming red. He quickly looked away.

“I d-don’t like her.” He mumbled.

“Yeah right,” I scoffed, placing my elbow on the table and resting my chin on my hand.

“I-It’s true.” He said shyly, still looking away.

“Really, then say it to my face.” I challenged, knowing full well he couldn’t do it.

Right after the movie, I chickened out and ran to Manwah who I found sitting next to Jr. She told me everything he had said once we left the gym. I knew his little secrets; he couldn’t hide it any longer.

Jr glanced at me for a second before looking away again. He took a deep breath and began debating something in his head.

He scrunched up his nose, it looked like he was going to say something right then, but then he slightly shook his head. He kept going on like that for about five minutes; he was starting to look ridiculous.

“Spill it out already.” I whispered leaning a little closer to him. He pursed his lips and finally looked up at me with a quizzical stare. “So?”

“Okay, I, uh…first you have to promise not to tell a living soul about this.” He said in a low voice. I nodded my head. “Pinky promise.” He added, lifting up his finger. I narrowed my eyes at his childish gesture but did it none other the less. “Alright, here I go, I…uh, oh my God I can’t believe I’m saying this…s-since you’re the closest to M-Manwah, I guess I should tell you…um…l-last year…I, uh.”

“Oh my God just say it.” I huffed.

“Okay, okay. Last year was her first year here, I thought she was the most beautiful girl in the world the first time I laid eyes on her but I could never get the courage to talk to her but I didn’t want anyone else to steal her away from me so I made sure that no one would make any kind of contact with her because I was scared she would fall for someone else but then one day she had a project with R-Minki and I got so worried she would fall for him so I started to make fun of him and drag him away from her so I guess  that’s exactly what happened I really wanted to confess to her but if she knew the reason why everyone was avoiding her was because of me I would die and I can’t tell her because of that stupid arranged marriage but then I got the idea to ask her for her hand in marriage but that would be really ridiculous considering I’ve never talked to her before…” Jr told me all of that in one single breath. “I love her.” He admitted he covered his face with his hands in embarrassment. “I can’t believe I told you that.” He mumbled.

My eyes grew completely wide to its max.

“I love her,” I repeated overly exaggerating the phrase. “Wow that was quite the confession.” I told him, very impressed with his speech.

“Y-yeah…” He mumbled scratching the back of his neck.

“So…are you going to do it?” I questioned, getting more excited by the second.

“D-do what?” he wondered looking back at me.

“Marry her of course.”

“Wha-are you crazy? Ask a girl I’ve never talked to, to marry me? Are you insane?”

“No.”

“I can’t, she would never say yes.” He sulked.

“Oh shut up how do you know that?” I asked him twisting my mouth.

“I don’t…”

“Then find out. Ask her. I think you would be surprised.”

He narrowed his eyes at me at that statement.

“W-what do you mean? She likes me back?” he asked feeling quite eager to know the answer.

I thought about that for a moment. Actually, I don’t know if Manwah likes him. She never said she did. But…she never said she didn’t. If Minki asked for my hand in marriage I would definitely say yes. But that’s because I’ve talked to him and I like him back.

Considering Manwah, I’m not really sure. She’s never really talked about guys before.

“Does she?” he repeated.

“Ah…I don’t know…” I sincerely replied. He frowned and helplessly looked down at his lap. “She never said she didn’t like you.” I quickly reassured, trying to lighten up his mood. I guess it sort of worked because he started to think about it for a while.

“Should I really do it?” he questioned, “I’ve been thinking about asking her, for a long time now…I could finally get rid of that once and for all.” He mumbled.

“Who?”

“Jia,” he answered. “I hate her, she’s so annoying and oh my God she’s really snobby and a prick. her stupid nagging.” He ranted on with more anger building in his voice. “Yeah, I think I’ll do it.” He nodded his head. “But w-wait,” he stuttered, “what if she says no?” I could hear the fear in his tone.

“What are the odds she’ll say no?”

“One hundred percent,”

“You’re being ridiculous. There’s not only one answer she could give you, there’s yes, or no. So, fifty percent.”

“You just made it sound worse.” He sulked.

“How is fifty percent worse than one hundred?”

“It just means I only have fifty percent she’d say yes.”

“It’s better than nothing…” then something clicked, “holy I got a good idea.”

“Y-you do?” Jr asked.

“Why not make your proposal special? Like ask her out, or make a huge sign, no even better, we should get the whole school on this and make it a huge surprise.” I rambled.

“No that’s lame.” He remarked. I glared at his rude comment but brushed it off. “I want it to be romantic…” he mumbled shyly.

“Okay, don’t we have school dances or something?” I asked.

“Yeah…”

“Well, she’d be wearing something fancy right?”

“Y-yes…”

“Ask her to go on the roof; it would be night time so there would be stars in the sky, see romantic.”

“Go on…”

“And you two would be all alone, on the roof.”

“Alone…”

“Yes alone, and then after chatting for a while you would start getting closer and closer to her. Then at one point you would have to look her right in the eye, kneel down and ask her to marry you.” I finished.

He was silent for a moment.

“Was that out of a book or something?” he asked.

“Yeah,” I told him.

“You’re stupid; you know nothing happens like that in real life.” He rolled his eyes.

“What? Oh come on, you never know until you try.” I bickered.

He glared at me for a moment, and then sighed in defeat.

“Okay, fine. I’ll do that. B-but you have to help me since this was your idea.” He said nervously.

“Alright,” I chirped. “When’s the first dance?”

“Uh…I think it’s next Friday.” He told me.

“O-okay, do you have a suit or something?”

“Do I have to wear a suit? Wouldn’t I look lame?”

“Lame? Um no. Why? What did you have in mind?”

“I was thinking I could go shirtless.”

I cocked a brow.

“Um…no,” I told him.

“Why?”

“Just no.”

“Fine.” He sighed in defeat, again.

“Do you have a suit?” I asked.

“Yes.”

“Then wear that, or if you really don’t feel comfortable, just cut the jacket.”

“Alright.”

“Do you have a ring?”

“A-a r-ring?” he stuttered.

“Yes…this is the most important part.”

“N-no…”

At that moment, the bell rang. I sighed.

“We’ll talk later,” he whispered before leaving the class.

I turned to Manwah who jumped into my arms.

“Hana I missed you!” she cried. I laughed at her childish behavior.  She pulled away and we both started walking to the door. “Did you miss me? Because I was so bored…I couldn’t understand any of the math equations.”

MANWAH POV

Finally class was over and we had the rest of the day to do whatever we wanted. I quickly spun around and noticed Minki very fixed on Hana’s old seat.

Hmmm…

I ran to Hana.

“Hana I missed you!” I cried. She began laughing at me and I couldn’t help but silently giggle too. I pulled away and started leading her to Minki, but she didn't know, I made sure she wouldn't. “Did you miss me? Because I was so bored…I couldn’t understand any of the math equations.”

“Ah…” she awkwardly scratched the back of her head. It looked like she was hiding something, but I was too excited about my little plan I brushed it off.

“Hey Minki!” I called, stopping him from his thoughts. He looked up at us and quickly looked down with the slightest tint of pink covering his face once noticed Hana beside me.

Oh my God I want to eat him up.

“Hana doesn’t understand the math work we just got and she was wondering if you could help her out.” I continued.

“What?” Hana blurted, it was quite obvious she was getting flustered.

“But that’s what you told me,” I said innocently.

“What? W-what are you talking about?” she panicked her cheeks becoming a dark shade of red.

I could tell Minki got a little excited about what I told him, but he kept his cool and stood up. I didn’t realize how much taller he was compared to Hana. He turned to Hana and gave her the same blank stare.

“You need help?” he asked.

Hana stood there, frozen in her spot. She had no clue what to say.

“Uh, um…y-yeah?…” she hesitantly replied.

I gave Minki a teasing smile. He rapidly noticed it and his cool started to crumble down. He started blushing again. I really wanted to continue teasing him…so tease I did. I moved my eyes brows up and down, and gave him that you-know-what-I-mean look. He totally became flustered and looked away.

“Han-“

“L-let’s go!” Minki quickly interrupted me grabbing Hana’s hand and running off with her.

After a while of me awkwardly standing in the class room alone, I couldn’t help but laugh my off.

Did you see his face?! He totally fell for Hana! Ahahahaha!
