True Feelings
What a wonderful day!
It was one of the happiest days of my high school experience, I opened my window and the cold - yet refreshing - morning breeze embraced me. The sunlight falling on my face made me feel like I could do anything somehow. I went to the bathroom and took a quick shower since I didn't get up early - not like I was awake until four a.m. watching some shows... like Running Man.
After the shower, I wore my uniform, walked downstairs towards the kitchen and ate my breakfast that my mother made for me. As usual, my mother prepared me two slices of bread with cherry jam and a glass of orange juice.
I felt very confident that morning, even my mother noticed when and closed the front door. I was walking in joy to school when I heard someone calling me. I turned around and spotted Taehyung, Kookie and another guy who had a cheerful and funny smile on his face. Step after step, they reached me with big smiles on their faces. I didn't see Jimin around, but nothing to be worried about.
"Good morning." I greeted.
"Morning." They replied.
"This guy over here is Jung Hoseok." Taehyung introduced his friend.
"N-Nice to meet you Hoseok." I bowed to him.
"You can call me Hoseok, the Horse!" He said while punching slightly his chest.
"Please Hoseok," Kookie sighed. "Don't scare Eunsoo with your stupid horse thing."
"There's nothing stupid about it, I would like to be a horse for once and run like the wind." Hoseok spread his arms wide enough to slap Kookie with the back of his hand.
"Guys, don't start." Taehyung sighed.
"Where's Dahee?" Kookie asked me.
"She's at school already." I answered.
"Let's go then." Taehyung said.
"Yes."

Twenty minutes after, we arrived at the school's building. Our little walk was very productive to me in order to know them, since I started to hang out with them because of Dahee. I felt like I needed to know them more and understand their behaviours. I came to the conclusion that Taehyung and Hoseok were stepbrothers, Hoseok told me that his mother married Taehyung's father when they were young so Taehyung is like a real brother to him. About Kookie, I discovered that he was Jimin's cousin, all of them - I mean the four of them - were elementary school friends. They asked me some questions about my life too - if I had brothers, my hobbies, my type of boy... the latter I didn't answer because it was very awkward. I really felt our recent friendship deepen in those twenty minutes of walk, I was really happy.
However, the same moment I stepped the main school's hall, I paralysed in shock, with my mouth and eyes open wide for a second. A few meters in front of me, Dahee was embracing Jimin, they were both smiling to each other... like they were a couple or something like that. It was very stupid of me thinking that and jump to conclusions, but I couldn't get rid of that sudden pain on my chest as if that scenario was actually hurting me.
I didn't want to see them like that anymore so I walked to my locker and tried ignored them. I put my bag on my locker and closed it with an unnecessary anger. I was shocked with my strength, it really bothered me to see them like that. I could feel the students in the hall that were near from me, the guys and Dahee looking at me. It was very awkward for me to stay there, I walked to the bathroom and closed myself in one of the WCs. I sat against the wall and put my head on my knees. I couldn't take off that image of my head.
It's so unfair... why her? Of course... she's thin and tall and she's good at sports and me... who am I compared to her?
I open my eyes at that moment.
This is ridiculous! Why am I even bothered by this? It's not like they're committing a crime, they were hugging each other, so what? They are friends. I'm her friend and... and I... I don't have any feels for Jimin... right?
I took a deep breath and stood up. I made a mistake... a huge mistake.
