“See you later noona.” Junhong waved at me as I was heading to the school canteen. We had our practice for several hours now: and we are definitely tired, even Junhong. He almost got kicked out for complaining.

     “Sunju.”

      “K-Kyungsoo.”

     “Lunch?”

     I nodded, still speechless as he walked beside me.

     “Let’s eat together. Ah~ I’m hungry.” He said.

     Flush. My cheeks. My heart!

     While eating I still can’t get myself out from my imaginations. I think I’m not feeling hungry anymore because I’m already satisfied watching Kyungsoo. Stealing stares to be exact.

     All of a sudden my finger hurt and in an instant my hand fell the spoon. It suddenly became numb from pain, “Ouch…”

     Kyungsoo also got alarmed and held my hand.

    Is he holding my hand?!

     What’s happening?!

     But nothing’s wrong if you would just look at my hand. Nothing’s bleeding. All I felt was like the ring is getting tighter and tighter every second. I think it wants to cut my finger off from my hands.

     I almost cried in pain and Kyungsoo was gripping my hand, confused expression visible on his face.

     All of a sudden it was gone. I paused, thinking if what had happened meant anything.

     Then I noticed Kyungsoo’s still holding my hand.

     “You okay?”

     I remained still, feeling Kyungsoo’s hand holding mine.

     But this is no time for this. I quickly freed my hand and hid it in my pocket. “Yes … I- I’m sorry.”

      But somehow that made me feel I’m in seventh heaven.

     He held my hand!

     I got home, planning to complain with the ring but Chanyeol’s nowhere to be found. Aish. Where is he?! I searched for him in the kitchen where he stays most of the time, but he’s not there.

     Okay. I give up on looking for him.

     Just when I entered my bedroom, I was surprised to see him lying on my bed, with eyes closed, like a dead man lying on his coffin.

     He’s lying on my bed!

     I was alarmed after I realized he was sleeping on my bed.

     “Ya!” I pushed him forcefully and he fell on the floor instantly.

     But it’s just it.

     He didn’t wake up.

     I neared him, who was lying on the floor in a sideward position.

     “Ya.” I tapped him gently. “Chanyeol-sshi.”

     He didn’t respond.
