It was Monday morning. Nara nervously walked into the school. A part of her was excited to meet him but another part of her was shy and wished to avoid him at all cost. She was not exactly prepared to meet Yoseob, although by now she already knew what to answer him, because she never really did fall in love with someone. What more to a person whom she had known for as long as she has lived, and the thought of it still made her a little awkward and embarrassed to face him. But she knew best that she has to accept the fact that her best friend fell for her and so did she.

Nara successfully made her way into her classroom without being seen by Yoseob. She heaved out a sigh and plopped down onto her seat. Almost immediately, Min approached her and sat at the vacant seat next to Nara. “Hey, what’s with the sigh? I thought you would be all smiley today.” She said.

“If I don’t smile today, that doesn’t mean I’m distressed. Besides, people would think I’m weird if I smile all the time.” Nara replied, to which her friend rolled her eyes.

Hours passed and another ring of school bell echoed through the hallway, indicating that it was lunch break. Yoseob decided to approach Nara. It’s now or never, he thought.

“Nara,” he called out. The girl was startled but responded him nevertheless.

“Hmm”

Yoseob was slightly uneasy hearing her wordless reply, moreover seeing her trying to avoid his gaze. “Let’s have lunch at the school field together, shall we?” he continued.

“Sure. Let me pack up my things first.” Nara stuttered.

“I’ll go buy something first. I’ll wait for you there.” Yoseob smiled to her and walked away to the canteen.

The second he left, Nara immediately turned to Min. “What do I do now?” she said with worry.

“It’s going
