“I have no idea where your house is!” I shrugged upon saying it. “Besides, how did you know my phone number?”

“Look at your window.” She hissed over the phone speakers. “You’ll see me.”

I obliged.

She’s doing it again.

Sneaking in my room’s window.

But she did say that I should go to her apartment.

So she should be in there right now, right?

And where exactly was it?

And why is she calling me?

And if I ever don’t stop asking these questions, would I ever know the answer?

My fingers curled to my velvet curtains and threw it wide open.

And there before me…

Im Yoona, holding her handset as she conversed with me through the phone.

So that was it.

We are living right across each other.

She was living in the huge building beside our living quarters.

That explains why she easily sneaked to my room last night.

“From now on, you have to come over here before class starts!” she said, turning off her cellphone. “Now get over here!”

“Give me an hour.” I answered, almost raising my voice for her to hear. “No thirty minutes.”

As I said this, I closed the curtains and headed to the kitchen.

***

I am in the kitchen once again.

Cooking or more precisely preparing my sushi.

I did it in almost formidable speed.

And if I keep that speed up…

I will be done in half an hour.

Ring

Damn.

My phone is ringing again.

It must be Yoona.

“Hello?”

“YOU’RE TOO SLOW!!” She shrieked at the phone, as if it’s not whisper sensitive.

I am starting to get annoyed.

“You know Yoona.” I reasoned. “It’s been ten minutes since I hung up.”

“So how much longer?” she said over the phone as I hear her crack her knuckles.

I shrugged. I can almost visualize her teeth gritting in anger. “Didn’t I say I need thirty minutes?”

“Why are you so slow stupid fish?” she exclaimed. “Useless!”

I was appalled with my nickname she had just given.

Fish?

Fish?

“Fish?” I finally mumbled aloud. “Why?”

“You look like one. Well get over here when you’re done.” She cleared . “And. Donghae?”

“Yes?”

“Make me a lunch.”

The line went dead, making me stare at the phone as if it’s a plague of virus.

I sighed.

“Time to change.” I whispered to myself.

***

Moments later….

“I am here.”

Even though I mentally prepared myself for this, I never thought it was a really a huge building.

No wonder our house does not get any light.

I am in there, standing in front of Yoona’s apartment building.

Rich bastard.

I never thought she is living in such a luxurious apartment.

Well, that means the rumor that Yoona’s family owns a big company is not that baseless.

I stepped the front door.

Incredible!.

The front door itself was one of the best doors I ever laid my eyes on.

The corridors even looks like the corridors of a 5-star hotel.

I walked through this exquisite alleys.

And rode the mirrored elevators.

To the second floor.

Which I supposed to have her apartment block.

I took the opportunity to admire the surroundings.

When would I have the chance to live in such place?

Yoona is so lucky.

She must be very happy.

But I wonder why she hates talking about her family.

I just don’t understand.

I am finally in front door.

Room 13.

“Why are you late?” a voice from inside said.

I let myself in just to see Yoona, already dressed in her uniform.

Her wavy her was fixed in a cute manner.

Her fair skin glinted in the sunlight.

She’s really beautiful.

But Yuri is something else of course.

“Let’s go shall we?” she said, staring sternly at me.

I never saw her smile.

“Don’t forget to help me.” She said. “If you’ll betray me, I will never forgive you.”

“Yeah! I will help you.”

***

I am now walking with her to school.

Anyone who saw me with her would surely laugh at us.

For all we know, we are the school delinquents.

Yoona is continually gazing at her nails.

She is not speaking or exclaiming.

And for a second, I missed our arguments.

Her exclamations whenever she commands me is somewhat addictive.

But now..

What she is doing was looking at her hands like an idiot.

And for the whole period of time, there was an inexplicable silence.

I looked at her just to see her face lighten up.

What’s the matter with her?

“Ah!” she exclaimed as if she saw someone. “Just as expected. You’re waiting for me again.”

Who is she talking too?

I tilted my head to where her gaze was transferred to.

And the next thing I saw was…

Yuri.

Smiling at us.

Or rather at Yoona.

“Yuri!”

She smiled at her friend. “Yoona you’re so slow. I almost left without you.”

She’s so beautiful.

Her smile had brightened my day.

I can’t keep but feel nervous with her presence.

“Sorry Yuri-ah.” She bowed low.

Wow. She knew how to apologize.

This heartless girl knows how to apologize.

Wait.

I should say hi at Yuri.

“Kwon Yuri-ssi.” I greeted in a tremulous voice.

Finally she noticed me.

I saw her frown.

Then she opened in aghast.

As if she saw a monster.

“No way! Lies!” she exclaimed. “How can this be?”

“What’s the matter Yuri?” asked Yoona, scratching her head.

She started to jump. “Why are you asking me? No wonder.”

Yoona frowned in confusion.

“Now I know. Yoona and Donghae are-“

And then I realized…

“Are a couple.”

No…

My crush thinks I already have a girlfriend.

I must fix this.

“No it’s not that. We didn’t plan to come to school together.” I reasoned. “It was just a coincidence.”

Yoona agreed. “We met along the way.”

“Eh?” she muttered, unconvinced.

“Believe me Yuri.” Yoona took over. “It seems like we’re living next to each other.”

Yuri smiled again. “Okay. I believe it. But if something is going between you, I will be the first to know.”

She turned at me. “Well Donghae. Take care of my bestfriend.”

I just nodded.

“Hae.” Yoona whispered. “This is your opportunity.”

She called me by my nickname.

But she’s right.

This is a golden opportunity.

I can go to school with Yuri.

This a dream come true.

She is attractive as ever.

Is this the reason why Yoona ask me to go over her house?

To create an opportunity for me?

Yoona.

You were really sent by the angels.

She turned around. “So Donghae.” She said smiling. “Bye.”

Bye? Aren’t we going together?

“Hehe. I was going to say let us walk to school together. But apparently you don’t want to right?”

I am going to take back what I said.

That devil.

She leaned for a whisper when Yuri went ahead of us.

“Don’t think of finding love before me. You’re getting ahead of yourself. You’re just a fish.”

Huh?

Devil.

“Well then see you later.” She said when Yuri looked back at us.

They walked away.

That devil.

She can’t let me be with Yuri.

Wait.

Oh I see.

Yoona…

Unless you an Siwon can successfully progress.

You’ll be between me and Yuri.

This is just as I planned.

If you and Siwon will be close to each other…

Then it’s only natural for me and Yuri to be intimate.
