I think I’ll just go to the mall, I do need some new clothes. Plus I haven’t went anywhere else than school or the library.

“So where do you think you’re going?” Umma asked.

“I think I’m going to the mall.” I replied.

“Okay great, I’ll even give you some money.” She smiled.

“Thanks umma.” I smiled as I finished my breakfast and went upstairs. As I went inside my room I looked through my phone and remembered the code Jongup sent me. Hmm, let me think. I-4-3

Well 1 can be I, so I got that one but it could also mean A, if it’s A it could be A Good Day. But really? A good day? What kind of text is that? Well it could also mean I need you, or I love you, I like you. Wait, it could be any of those things, what am I going to do? Which one should I say, should I ask him how many I can say? He should be awake by now.

“Hey Jongup, you know the game thing? Yeah how many answers can I give you?” ~ Haneul

“Why? Have you already found some? I guess you can tell me the answers you got. I’ll see if you got the answer.” ~ Jongup

“Okay well I don’t know I any of these are even right, but don’t laugh at me though here they are: A good day, I need you, I love you, I like you I help you, I hate you. I don’t know if these even made sense or not.” ~ Haneul

Okay, I know I made up some more but I don’t know. I want to know which one it is, I want to know what it is.

“……You found it.” ~ Jongup

“What really? Which one?” ~ Haneul

“You have to find out yourself.” ~ Jongup

“Is it I hate you?” ~ Haneul

“The opposite? So it’s I like and love you?” ~ Haneul

“……Dang it..” ~ Jongup

“What? Am I right? Am I?” ~ Haneul

“Hello?” ~ Haneul

I sat there waiting for his reply after 10 minutes, I guess I was right. But why won’t he answer, doesn’t this mean he has to do something for me? Hmmm, what should he do for me? Oh, I know buy me something. He should buy me a flower. I know, it’s weird but I want a flower. Hey at least I’m not asking him to buy me something like a phone or a necklace. I don’t do that I ask for small things. I looked at my phone again still no reply.

“Hey, am I right? Then that means I win! Mwahaha! Okay since I win, I want you to get me something. It’s cheap, don’t worry. Don’t laugh at me, but I want a flower. Any kind would do thank you ^_^ if you don’t I’ll come over your house and kill you, I know where you live >> jk I would never do that but can you please. C’mon keep your promise for me, okay? Well I hope you answer. Bye.” ~ Haneul

After I texted him I got ready to go to the mall since my umma’s friends from work are coming over in 30 minutes. I finally finished getting ready. I walked downstairs and greeted my umma.

“Okay, there you are. My coworkers are coming any minute, here’s some money. Have fun honey, take care.” She smiled as she kissed me on the forehead.

“Bye umma.” I smiled as I walked out the door. Okay so the mall is a few blocks away, I think I should just walk to the mall. I start walking while I walked I saw a few of Jongup’s friends. I saw one of his friends I think his name was Junhong, he was skateboarding like there was no tomorrow. He saw me and waved and stopped skateboarding.

“Hi, you’re Haneul right?” He asked.

“Yes, your name is Junhong right?” I asked hoping I was right.

“That’s right.” He smiled. “So where you heading?” He asked, wow, I never knew he was like this. I remember the first time I saw him he looked very serious in school. But out of school he’s a nice guy.

“Oh, I heading towards the mall.” I replied.

“Really? Well you have fun.” He smiled. “I’ll see you at school.” He waved as he got on his skateboard.

“Wait Junhong!” I yelled since he wasn’t that far yet.

“Yes Haneul?”

“Well, do you know Jongup’s phone number?” I asked.

“Umm, yes why?” He replied while he gave me a confused face.

“Well, I texted him this morning and he hasn’t replied me ever since.” I answered.

“Oh, maybe he’s just busy.” He replied.

“Thanks, but can you try texting him and see if he replies?” I begged.

“I can try.” Junhong replied as he took out his phone and started texting him. After a minute his phone beeped. He took out his phone. “Jongup replied.”

“What? I’ve texted him before and he replied instantly.”

“Well, I dunno.” Junhong shrugged.

“Oh well thanks anyway Junhong.” I said.

“Call me Zelo.” He smiled as he skateboarded away. I took out my phone and still no reply.

“Yah Jongup, are you mad?” ~ Haneul

I doubt he’s even going to answer so why bother? I continued to walk until I arrived at the mall. I went straight to my favorite store and bought lots of cute clothes. I still had money, I went to another store and saw a pair or cute shoes that were on sale, I had to get them. Luckily I found one more pair that was my size. After I shopped I was getting hungry, I went to the food court and bought my food. As I sat there alone eating my meal I saw couples everywhere. While I watched them cuddling and being cute together I couldn’t take it anymore. I stood up and threw away my garbage and walked away from all the couples. Truthfully I didn’t hate people that were dating. I think it’s cute how they act, I want to know what it feels like to be in love, not just as in having a crush or something. I want to feel what being loved feels like.

I sat down on a bench and looked at my phone, there was finally a message.

“Honey everyone left already. You can come home if you want now if you’re done.” ~ Umma

Oh it’s just my mom, nothing from him yet. I looked through the previous messages. Oh my gosh. I didn’t notice Jongup said I love/like you. I feel so stupid. I wish I could just talk to him right now, I bet you he thinks I’m making fun of his feelings which I’m not. But how do I know these feelings are even true? I don’t know anymore, I just really tired and I want to go home. I walked out the mall, I still have money. I’m just going to ride a taxi home. While I waited for a taxi to pass by there was a coffee shop. I really want a frappe right now. I walked inside and bought a mocha frappe and continued to wait for a taxi. After a minute or two a taxi finally stopped.

I got inside and told him where I wanted to go. I sat there relaxed as I listened to the music until I finally arrived at my house. I paid the driver and walked out into my house. “Hi honey.” My umma greeted me.

“Hi umma.” I smiled as I went to my room and plopped onto my bed I was exhausted. After a few minutes I slowly closed my eyes and fell asleep since it was already night.
