HANA POV


A diamond shaped snowflake fell in front of my face as time seemed to slow down. It looked so small and powerless yet, the beauty and the impact it reflected, despite its size, shined above all. It was pure white, with thousands of thousands of little details inside the shape. With a single touch it would melt and its beauty would be lost forever. But the only thing I found amazingly and undying unbelievable at the moment, was the boy standing in front of me with the obvious blush across his face.

The way he would project a cool and collected image compared to the shy yet courageous boy on the inside was all I could think of. HE was all I could think of. What he said was all I could think of.

I kept replaying his sentence in my mind to try and find some sort of loop hole or something to see if it was true or not. But the way he said it, it sounded so real. It sounded like it was coming from the heart. And it was. Minki was taking those three seconds of courage and doing what I couldn't. He was expressing his true feelings. His true thoughts.

Something I would have never been able to do. Something I wouldn't have ever thought of doing. My emotions would've gotten the best of me and I would have doubted my every action. But I couldn't believe it. I seriously could not believe it.

I knew I said before that I was expecting him to confess to me. But I seriously...oh my God...I really...I don't think I honestly believed what I was thinking before until now. Until it actually happened.

This, was real. Minki, the Minki, the most handsome, nicest, strongest, courageous, smartest, awesome, coolest, bravest guy I've ever know...liked me. HE liked me, the simple, boring Hana Beaux. I was so confused, how could he? What was so special about me?

“H-how could...” I spoke up, somehow gaining the ability to speak again, “someone so perfect...l-like...me?” I whispered staring into his eyes as I felt my face begin to burn up as reality dawned on me, he was freaking right in front of my face AND he just told me he loved me...and I think I would faint sometime soon. Minki just processed my words and a huge smile grew upon his face. He looked beautiful. Just...ugh...I didn't deserve him...I wasn't good enough...I mean, seriously.

Wait a second....did I just tell him that he was perfect?

I blinked in realization.

Oh...my...God...you're so stupid Hana that's so freaking embarrassing! How could you spill something like that right to his face being so freaking close to him?!?

Minki just shook his head and locked foreheads with mine. My eyes grew large at his action once I began feeling his heavy breathing and nervous laugh.

“Because you're Hana Beaux.” he answered gazing deep within my eyes. I gave him a confused look.

“Th-there's nothing s-special about H-Hana Beaux.” I told him, feeling very shy at the moment. Minki scoffed and raised an eyebrow in amusement.

“What are you talking about?” he asked, suddenly his smile vanishing and becoming very serious. “You're perfect.” he spoke clearly.

“M-m-me? P-perfect? I'm n-”

“I fell in love with you the moment I saw you.”

My body froze at his words.

You mean...

“The first time I saw you a couple months ago was the first day of school. You walked into class and introduced yourself, but you didn't seem to notice me because you were nervous and kept your head down the whole time. I thought you looked like the most sweetest and beautiful girl I've ever laid eyes on. You left class early that day, I really wanted to say hi or something to you so I followed you. I saw that you were walking to the library. I wanted to stop and introduce myself but Jr and his group came in the way. I noticed you staring at me, the way the sun hit your face while you dreamily watched my every movement made my heart flutter like crazy. I couldn't believe how I could have fallen so in love with someone, it felt just like love at first sight.” Minki took a deep breath before continuing. “Once I finally got away from them I realized you were gone. I panicked and ran inside the library to see you sitting in my usual spot. I smiled and couldn't help but stare at you from afar at the coincidence. I then grabbed some random book on a shelf and sat in front of you. You were so focused that you hadn't even realized I sat down. I watched you read the book and narrow your eyes cutely whenever you were stuck. Then suddenly you lifted your head to look at the clock, and I freaked out so I pretended to read my book and then you asked me about a word. I was so nervous that you were actually talking to me, but I answered anyway. After that day I couldn't stop thinking about you, I couldn't stop waiting for the next day and being able to see you in class. I was so happy you sat in front of me. I wouldn't pay attention in class and watch you.” Minki then cleared his throat and started to blush deeply. “The simplest of things would make me go crazy. You have no idea...” he smiled down at me showing me his perfect white teeth. “I love you Hana, I love everything about you, your smile, your laugh, your eyes, your voice, your lips, your personality...” he then took a deep breath, “will you love me too?”

My mouth fell agape at some point in his speech. I couldn't believe what I was hearing...he liked me first. He liked everything about me and...he wanted me to love him too. Well, I obviously have been loving him for a long time now.

So I should tell him! I-I should tell him I love him too! Go ahead Hana! Confess! D-do it! Come on! Don't just stand there with your mouth wide open! You look like a dork! Say something! Say something! Anything! Just say anything Hana! Oh my God I can't speak...I'm so...shocked...I just...take deep breaths deep breaths...

I inhaled a lot of air and then let it out shakily. Minki slightly chuckled at my action. I looked him straight in the eye and stared at his beautiful face gazing back at me.

I was really really nervous, despite the fact he just confessed all his feelings and now I was certain we liked each other I couldn't help but feel very nervous to tell him. I always felt this way around him. My heart would pick up its pace just a little, my skin would tint a shade darker, my breath would be taken away, my eyes would get lost at the sight of him...I just...

“I love you.” I confessed. “B-b-but you deserve b-better, I could n-never be g-good enough for y-you.” I added, feeling my throat begin to clench. I started to feel tears build up in the back of my eyes.

Why the hell are you crying Hana?! Stop it! Stop it! Don't let your tears fall! Please...please don't...

“A Hana Beaux is good enough for me.” Minki then spoke. I swallowed the sob that wanted to escape. I felt so...happy, yet...I knew I wasn't perfect, I knew I didn't deserve him. But he loved me. And I couldn't understand that. “You don't need to try to be perfect.” Minki said, “because you already are.”

Then...I couldn't hold it in. My text book fell to the ground thankfully not harming either one of our feet and and I grabbed him into a big hug while I began sobbing my heart out into his chest. Minki didn't hesitate to wrap his arms around my shoulders and tuck his face beside mine.

“I love you.” he kept whispering, his breath ghosting over my ear. “I love you, I love you, I love you,” he repeated, making it sound like each time he said it wasn't enough. “I love you so much...” he then began saying. My heart was beating like crazy, but I could also feel his heart beating just as fast as mine. They were pounding for the love we had for each other. It was so crazy, I couldn't believe it. But I should now, because it was real, Minki loved me, and that's all that mattered.

Once my sobbing ceased, I started to laugh at how odd we must look. Minki stopped whispering in my ear and slightly pushed me away so we could face each other.

“What's so funny?” he asked, worry evident in his tone. I looked up at his beautiful face. Our noses touched and I could feel his heavy breathing. A huge smile stretched across my face as I wrapped my arms around his shoulders and hugged him again. He began chuckling with me and continued to repeat his sentence again in my ear.

“I love you, I love you, I love you,” he sounded extremely happy like he just went to Heaven and back. But that's to be expected right? Because I was feeling the same way.



MANWAH POV


I ran down to the main floor of the building and walked up to one of the ladies at the front desk. I was panting hard as I slid against the ground to stop my high speed running. I slammed against the counter and the lady shot her head up in surprise from her paper work.

“May I help you?” she asked politely, a little taken back from my grand entrance.

“Yes!” I heaved. “Why was Kim Jonghyun and Meng Jia called to the office yesterday?” I questioned rapidly. The lady slowly processed my jumble of words and breathing.

“Hold on just a moment.” she told me turning to the laptop beside her. She pressed a couple buttons and scrolled her finger above the mouse. Her eyes darted from side to side while she looked for what I asked of her. She then stopped all of a sudden and began analyzing a certain page. “I'm sorry,” she said turning to me, “but it's confidential information.” she explained.

“But I need to know why! Or at least if any one of them are coming back?!” I panicked.

“Alright miss, just please hold on a moment.” she told me while going back to the computer. I waited for another period of time. I felt my fear and nervousness get the better of me and I began shaking. I tried fiddling with my fingers to calm myself down. I needed to know, at least if I could see him again. I wanted to say a farewell or something. He couldn't just not come back, he had to come back. I needed to see him one more time. Wasn't I able to at least say...goodbye? “I would presume he will be returning soon.” the lady suddenly spoke up.

“S-soon? You mean like today? Tomorrow? A couple minutes? Hours? Weeks? Days?” I quickly retorted. She blinked in surprise.

“Um...I think they might have arrived already or are returning in a couple minutes. Miss, are you okay? You seem very-”

“Thank you!” I cut in while sprinting out of the building into the snowing cold. “Jr?!” I called out frantically looking everywhere. My eyes froze on two people hugging but I didn't think much of it as it wasn't Jr nor Jia. I immediately made my way to the school to see if he could be doing his exams or maybe be talking to a teacher. I kept on calling his name until I reached the front doors of the building. I pulled one open and walked down the long hall while scanning every room to see if he was in any of them.

I searched the first floor, but when I didn't see any sign of him and or Jia I kept on to the second floor. I looked in every possible place he could be. Each classroom, the janitors closet, the lab room, the office and washrooms. But he was no where to be seen. Maybe he hadn't arrived yet.

I turned around and passed the school office to walk down the stairs, but I froze in place when I saw who was at the bottom chatting with Jia; a perfect smile on his face. My heart sank and my breath hitched. Behind them was a beautiful woman wearing an expensive looking red coat and a stern man wearing a black proper suit. They had also smiles on their faces as they watched the two of them chat with one another.

Then suddenly, Jr lifted his head up to me. His eyes instantly found my own. His smile fell once he got a good look at me. I was confused with the sudden change in expression, but I then felt tears falling down my face. My eyes grew wide at the realization. I cupped my hand over my mouth out of shock. Jr quickly started running up the stairs to me, but I felt a jolt of fear run through my body when I saw his worried expression. I didn't want him to to see me like this. I looked hideous, I looked weak.

I shook my head as he got even closer.

“Manwa-”

“I-I'm s-sorry!” I cut him off speeding down the stairs and passed the three other people.

“Manwah!” I heard him yell behind me. I didn't stop running and kept my eyes to the exit of the building. “Manwah! Wait!” he pleaded. I heard his loud footsteps getting louder and louder by the second. Any moment now and he would have caught up to me. But I ran out the building and sped out into the cold. I suddenly bumped into a worried Hana who had been running up to me with Minki trailing behind.



HANA POV



I heard someone yell Jr's name. I unwillingly pushed Minki away once I heard it again.

“Did you hear that?” I asked him feeling very concerned. I could tell Minki was very disappointed at the loss of contact, but I thought I just heard Manwah yell Jr's name. I looked over his shoulder and saw Manwah bolting to the school building. “Manwah?” I mumbled in confusion. Minki turned around to where I was looking then looked back.

“What is she doing?” he asked just as confused as I.

“I don't know...” I muttered watching as she carelessly slammed the building door behind her. “I think we should go to her.” I panicked. Manwah was acting weird. What was she doing? Running out without a jacket on? She must be out of her mind! It was snowing! “Come on...” I said taking Minki's hand in mine while jogging up in Manwah's direction.

We both quickly ran through the white covered ground. There was a lot of snow flailing in the air that kept melting on my face. The wind that passed us by began to freeze up the water that was streaking on our jackets. It was very cold outside. All I could think of was Manwah. I was undeniably worried about her.

All of a sudden, she bolted out the entry way. I let go of Minki's hand and sprinted up to my friend.

I grabbed her by the shoulder to hold her still. She looked at me like I was the craziest person in the world but I just brushed it off.

“What are you doing?!” I exclaimed. “It's bellow zero degrees and you're running out here like it's the summer time...” my words faded once I realized she was crying. “Manwah? What's wrong? Why are you crying?” I asked searching inside her eyes to see if I could find the answer there.

“Jr...he...” she sobbed.

“You can tell me Manwah, I'm right here.” I assured her. I heard Minki catch his breath beside me as he came to a stop.

“H-he...he likes Jia!” she explained crying on my shoulder. My expression fell as I wrapped my arms around the poor girl.

“What are you talking about?” I asked, I was certain that Jr was madly in love with her. Why would she think otherwise? Jr even told me how much he loved Manwah!

“I s-saw them...” she mumbled, “th-they were h-happy together.” she hiccuped and started to break down even more. I gave Minki a worried look before patting Manwah's back.

“Listen Manwah, how about we go to my room?” I gently asked her. Manwah vigorously nodded her head as I stretched my arm around her shoulder for warmth. We turned to towards the main building and began to steadily make our way there.

Minki walked alongside me. He didn't hesitate to take my hand in his own. I shyly smiled at him with a deep blush growing across my face but I tried to calm myself down and focus on Manwah. I knew Minki loved me and that was the best feeling ever. But what made me feel more happy was that I had the best friend in the world who trusted me enough to care and protect her.

I was worried though. Manwah never acted this way. She was usually the hyper silly girl, but now, she was a total mess. She was crying and crying and she didn't seem like it would stop any time soon. I didn't know what happened between her and Jr. But I knew I was going to find out soon.
