On Monday morning I was feeling fresh and alive. After Friday I was suffering from a cold and alas on Sunday I had recovered. 

 

I was up and energetic making lunch for me and Kai.

 

My...boyfriend. I blushed as I cut the kimbap. I can't believe he asked me...I never thought he would. Finally! I thought he'd never. 

 

Kai likes me...and I like him. Everything was perfect now. I didn't have to hide my feelings for him and now I could freely like him. I couldn't even hold back my grin.

 

I had boiled rice earlier and now I was cutting the meat strips into hearts. I didn't make too many only two just for the eyes. I didn't want it to look so girly that Kai would be grossed out. I wanted to make a face. I placed the cherry tomato as the nose and now had to decide what to use to make the mouth. I already fried an egg but I can't use that as the mouth. 

 

Peas? Corn? I opened the kitchen cabinet ransacking it  for what I could possibly find. As if God was speaking to me a jar of olives came right in front of me. Tiny black olives. 

 

Smiling in victory I uncapped the bottle and began lining up the olives into a smile. 

 

My doorbell rand and I jumped. Who could it be? Mom is still asleep..

 

I closed the lunchbox and slipped it into my bag. Could it be Kai? My heartbeat quickened at the possibility. I ran towards the front door and my guess was right. He was there. 

 

I slipped my shoes on and pushed my hair back before opening the door. "Hi," I greeted him breathlessly. Kai smiled charmingly at me. God, he always looks so perfect. His hair always messily covering his eyes, and that beautiful smile that graces his face. It was enough to make my heart race. "Ready?" He stepped back so I could walk. I wasn't expecting him to come pick me up but it was a nice surprise. It made me look forward to the morning. 

 

"Are you ready for the test?" Kai asked as we walked to his car. I faltered in my step. Test? I mentally face-palmed. I was so sick I couldn't even remember that I had a test today! 

 

"Don't tell me you forgot," Kai said getting into the drivers seat. My shoulders fell as I slipped into his car. "I did forget," I said sadly. 

 

"Oh, you'll be fine. Besides we studied together all last week." Nonetheless I pulled my Calc textbook out. Can't believe I was stupid enough to forget. "Beside you'll beat me." I heard him say as he started the car and started driving. 

 

I pouted before looking up at him. "But I want you to beat me." Kai suddenly pressed the brake on the car to face me. "You want me to?" He asked confused. I nodded. 

 

"Wh-?" And then he knew. He smiled at me mischeviously. "You want to go on a date with me don't you?" I blushed because it was true. Instead of answering I stuffed my nose into my textbook to intensely study. "I'll take that as a yes." He said to himself. That's when I gave out and buried my face deeply into the book. How can he embarrass me so easily? He must've thought I was funny because he was laughing softly. Doesn't he get shy like me too?  Or red? 

 

"We're here," Kai said after a while. I looked up and saw that we were entering the parking lot of the school. I put my book back in my bag and made a silent prayer that I'd do well today. I got out of his car quickly and met him on the other side. Right, I still have to ask him. 

 

"Kai?" I said when he got out slunging his back over his shoulder. He beeped his car alarm before looking at me. We started walking and I realized it be easier if I didn't look at him as I said it to him. "D-do you want to have lunch with me?" I asked fumbling over my words. God, I was so nervous I didn't even understand why! 

 

"I'd love to Yoona." I raised my head at his response. He was smiling so happily I returned the smile. Success! 

 

Kai walked me to first period but loitered a few steps away from the door. I was't going to see him until break. 5 periods until lunch. "Well-" I started to bid goodbye. "I always wanted to say this to you Yoona but I didn't have the courage to." Kai started out his dark brown orbs staring into me. It was hard for me to maintain eye contact because his eyes were so charismatic. I felt shy and wanted to lower my gaze blushingly. Kai suddenly stepped close to me and I knew I was blushing. He's not going to kiss me is he...I bit my lip nervously. 

 

"You look beautiful, Yoona." He whispered leaning towards my ear. I swear to you my heart stopped beating right there. It was as if his breath was dancing on my ear. "But you look even more beautiful today." He said again leaning back. I opened my mouth to ask why was he complimenting me? I wasn't anything special. I mean I dressed like everyone else. Someone like Hyorin dressed to school prettily. 

 

"Because you're my girlfriend." I stood rooted to the ground at his words. He seemed to like my reaction because as he walked away he laughed throwing his head back. So, he likes making me flustered? 

 

He called me beautiful...no guy has said that to me...I brought my finger up to my lips and bit my nail. I stood outside the classroom smiling like an idiot. If it wasn't for the signal of the bell ringing I would've still been standing in the hall. 

 

I immediately ushered myself into the classroom and tried to get Kai off my mind. 

 

How could I though? He was going to be on my mind all day now! 

 

--

 

I menat to catch Aiman before break to tell her I couldn't meet her but I didn't see her in the halls at all. I had no choice but to go to her 5th period and call her out. 

 

"Aiman-ah~" I called her outside of her classroom. She looked from her desk and smiled. She took her books and left the classroom. "Ready for lunch?" She asked slinging her bag on her left side. I shook my head. "Actually I'm eating with Kai." I told her. 

 

Seohyun looked at me confused as she walked. "But he usually eats with his friends," She said. I walked up to catch up to her. "Well, I asked him today and he said yes." I shrugged acting as if it was the most easiest thing in the world to as. IT WAS NOT. 

 

She stopped and stared at me with open. "Really?" Her eyes seemed to twinkle in that moment. "Yeah, well I'll see you later!" I said quickly before she could ask me any questions. "Wait!" I heard her call out but that only made me walk faster. I was already late to meet Kai.

 

I finally made it out to the fields and remembered I never told Kai where to meet. Oh, shoot. Why couldn't I open my mouth in front of him? I spotted an empty bench and decided I'd set up our lunch there. I didn't see Kai anywhere so I might as well. I pulled out my lunchbox and separated it into two boxes. One with rice and the other with kimbap. Satisfied with the placement I turned around and almost stumbled into Kai who was in front of me. "Omo!" I walked back hitting my knee into the bench and falling down on the seat. 

 

"Hey," He greeted me sitting next to me. "Hi," I said weakly pulling out chopsticks and handing him one. "How was class?" He asked me politely. My mind went blank when I looked up at him. I uncapped the lunchbox and put it in front of him. "I...can't remember." I answered him stupidly. The day went like a breeze and sure I paid attention in class but now I just couldn't recall. He laughed softly reaching for a kimbap. 

 

"What did your friends say when you said you were going to eat with me?" I casually asked waiting for him to eat. I wasn't going take one bite until he ate. I had to know if he liked it. "They made fun of me," Kai said truthfully. I looked up and saw his ears darkened. "Really?" I asked when he put the kimbap in his mouth and then hesitantly I took a piece as well. "They asked why did it take me so long?" I looked at him confused as I put the kimbap in my mouth. "To have lunch with me?" Kai shook his head. 

 

"To be my girlfriend." I choked on my kimbap at the sound of the world girlfriend. It was still such a foreign word to me. "Are you okay?" Kai's face suddenly came close to me. I nodded inching backwards. "Water," I cried out. Kai stood up from the bench. I can't believe I forgot to pack water. "Okay, I'll be right back." Kai said walking away to find water. 

 

I wanted to smack myself in the face. Why am I such a dork in front of Kai? I swallowed the kimbap and fanned my face. "Way to go, Yoona." I told myself. "Yeah, way to go." Someone responded to me. I looked up; Hyorin was standing in front of me with her hands on her hips. Those two girls that were always with her flanked her left and right. i couldn't remember their names but they took my lunchbox out of my hands and threw it to the ground. Everything spilling out. 

"What are you doing?" I exclaimed at them standing up. All that hard work I put in to make the food and these girls just dump it out?!Hyorin , angry at my outburst pushed me back causing me to fall on my on the bench. "What am I doing? What are you doing? You're on a date with my boyfriend!" She shrieked her voice steadily getting higher. "Kai's my boyfriend." I stated loudly emphasizing on the my. 

 

The red-haired girl laughed crazily at my words. "Your boyfriend please~ Why would he date you?" She got her other friend to laugh alongside with her. I wasn't going to take their mockery. I stood up in front of Hyorin causing her to step back. "Because Kai likes me." I said looking at Hyorin instead of her friends who looked more bothered than them. I had no reason to lie to them. It was true. If Kai asked me to be his girlfriend than he obviously likes me. Besides, it was time I stood up to Hyorin. I was sick of her constant bullying and telling me to stay away from Kai. If anyone she should! He's mine. 

 

"Oh, please. He's just bored. Once he's done he'll throw you away." She stared me down trying to get to me. She didn't. All she did was fuel my anger. Hyorin was practically screaming in my face and thanks to that, a crowd had gathered around us. I didn't want to gather attention. It was a small matter.

 

She was jealous. 

 

"You don't have to tell the whole world Hyorin. If you're angry at me, let's talk alone." I said reaching up to touch her shoulder. She smacked my hand away before I could even touch her. 

 

"Here, is fine." Hyorin snorted crossing her arms. I exhaled a breathe. "Fine, let's talk." I told her. There was no reason for me to cower back in front of Hyorin. I had done nothing wrong. "See, I don't want to talk I want to teach you a lesson." She smiled at me sinisterly. "I warned you to stay from him and you didn't-" 

 

"Jealous." I blurted out. Her two friends looked at Hyorin afraid. "What?" "You're jealous." I said when her face contorted into fear. "You're jealous of me. Kai chose me and not you." I continued advancing towards her. 

 

"You shut your mouth." Hyorin trembled. Now, I know. I finally touched her weak spot. "Hyorin, you're jealous of me." I continued. 

 

"I SAID SHUT UP!" She raised her hand.
