✎Lesson 24:Eureka.
✎♥The Dating Subject♥✎
Flashbacks will be italicized. :D
"Good morning guys!"
I blinked, trying to muster some energy in my least favorite subject.
I blinked, trying to muster some energy in my least favorite subject.
"Good morning seonsangnim~" My classmates greeted Prof. Kangta cheerfully.
Why is everyone so happy and full of life in dating subject anyway? They're not like that in math...or physics.
Or english lit.
How puzzling.
"Okay, guys! You're going to love our activity for today!" He rubbed his hands excitedly.
"Dating Situations! But in different aspects! Plus, it's in pairs. Since there are quite a lot.."
"PAIRS?! CAN WE PICK THIS TIME?! PLEAAASSEE!" Joon stood up.
"I AGREE!" Gikwang stood up too.
Prof laughed. "Today, it will be destiny's doing to pair you up. Since all of you guys will be picking up small pieces of paper from this box!" He held it up.
"I made 11 pairs of different shapes: hearts, circles, pentagons, etc. Find the person with the same symbol as yours and that's your partner!" He grinned.
"Happy picking!" He went around and made us pick one by one.
Some stood up to look for their partners and some were just milling around, waiting for their turn.
When it was my turn, I picked aimlessly, not really caring anymore.
I unfolded the small paper, I got a...

ONEW'S POV
I walked surreptiously towards her side, pretending to look at the others, but really, I wanted to see hers before I picked.
And she got a...
Teardrop figure.
How ironic.
I smiled as I saw how she frowned with her choice while she proceeded to bury her head in her desk again.
At least I know which to pick!
That is...if no one else got to her yet.
"Here you go, guys." Prof walked over to us.
I stared at the folded papers, hoping to pick the same one as hers.
"Me first~ I can feel that today will be my lucky dayyyy!" Joon sang happily and plucked out a paper.
I shook my head, laughing while wishing him luck.
I then proceeded to pick one too.
Please let this be a teardrop.
Please. Please. Plea--
Oh. It's a...snowflake.
Why would I get a snowflake?!
But that's like a hardened teardrop!
I frowned.
Then I looked around, hoping to see the tear one since everyone else already picked.
"Yah! Yah! What'd you get?!" I heard Joon asking Gikwang.
"A heart. You?"
"I'm just about to look." Joon unfolded his paper while still looking at Gikwang.
And I gasped.
The teardrop! He's got the tear!
Nooooooo!
So this is destiny's doing?!
Well, I control my own destiny!
Acting quickly, and before Joon sees his paper, I tickled him.
Hard.
"BWAHAHAHAHAHA! UMPFFFF. HAHAHAH! STOP THAT! HAHAHAHAHA!" Joon laughed nonstop, dropping his paper in the process.
I quickly snatched it up and exchanged it with my own.
"Why'd you do that?!" He asked me angrily after getting over his laughing fit.
"Sorry. I was trying to...transfer some of my luck to you." I said lamely.
"What??" He looked confused.
"Err...people I tickle get lucky!" I smiled widely.
"Is that so??" He looked excited and opened my--his--paper.
"Hey! You're right!" He looked joyous.
"I got a snowflake!" He grinned.
"It's not a heart! Yessss!"
"Congrats!" I clapped him in the back, smiling at him happily.
"Thanks for the tickle, bro! I wonder who got the same one as me.." He looked around.
I smiled. Definitely not her..
anymore.
anymore.
"Okay guys, find your partners!"
Everyone stood up, looking excited.
I stood up too. But what should I do? I can't just go to her and be all, hey I know we're partners.
That will be too obvious.
And besides, she's not getting up. She looks deadly bored and out of it.
I walked near her.
"Hey guys, who got the teardrop?" I asked loudly over the noise, hoping she heard me.
--
MAKI'S POV
I froze in my seat as I stared at Onew.
He got the teardrop?!
He got...the...TEARDROP?!
Oh . What am I supposed to do?!
I can't work with him anymore!
Stupid destiny.
I pulled at Gikwang who was beside me, looking for his partner.
"Yah, Gikwang! Exchange with me...please?"
"Eh? What's yours?"
"A teardrop." I whispered.
"Pfft. I don't want to. Onew got the same thing. I don't want to be with a boy again!" and he ran off.
Argh. Stupid Gikwang! Not manly enough to be with another boy! Aish.
I quickly thought of another solution.
No way will I get stuck in an awkward situation with him again.
That time at the lockers was enough.
I won't let it happen again.
--
ONEW'S POV
"Guys, who's got the teardrop?" I waved my piece of paper around.
"Hey Maki! Didn't you get a teardrop too? I think Onew has the same!" Hara asked her while nudging me towards Maki.
"You have the other teardrop?" I asked innocently while not looking at her.
"N-No."
"Yes, you do! Let me see!" Hara took her paper from her hands.
"See? Oh...wait. Sorry. You got..the lips shape. Sorry. I thought I saw you with a teardrop a while ago!" She shrugged and walked away.
I was confused though.
Very, very confused.
"Wait, what? Lips?! Didn't you get a teardrop??" I asked her.
She looked hesitant. "How did you know that?"
ASDJHLK! BUSTED.
"Uh..Just..guessing." I turned my back to her nervously.
"Hey bro! I'm your partner!" Someone placed an arm around my shoulders.
I turned around.
"Eunhyuk?"
"Eunhyuk?"
He beamed.
"How lucky am I, huh? Top 2 of the class! Yeah!" He dragged me to a chair across from Maki.
"B-but.."
"Here's my teardrop!" He showed me his paper.
"Cool, huh?"
I sighed. I think I know how this happened.
"Yes. Cool."
Already, I can tell this is going to be a long hour.
--
MAKI'S POV
Eunhyuk winked at me when Onew wasn't looking.
"Thanks." I mouthed at him and he gave me a thumbs up.
Thank goodness Eunhyuk was willing to exchange symbols without hesitation!
"Hey, Mak! I heard you got the lips! So you're my partner?"
I glanced up. It was Taeyeon.
"Yes." I smiled and raised my paper to her face.
She giggled and sat next to me.
"Shall we get started then?"
"Let's do it."
--
Prof Kangta distributed the papers with the situations.
"You guys just need to answer these questions from your point of view. Try to apply what you learned and read from this subject! Good luck!"
I glanced at the paper, my pen poised to write the answers.
#1. To Dutch or not to Dutch.
Two friends(boy/girl) are arguing. Apparently, the boy is always treating the girl when they eat outside.
The girl, however, does not want this since they're not a couple.
What should be done?

My eyes widened.
That...is so dejavu.
FLASHBACK
"I don't want you to pay for me anymore."
"Why not?"
"It's embarrassing. You're--You're not my oppa." I blushed, but it was true, though!
"Yes, I am." I stared at him.
"I'm older than you, right? By a year or less, I think." He smiled, clearly thinking of another definition of oppa.
END OF FLASHBACK
"Wow! The first situation sure sounds familiar!"
I looked up.
Onew was talking with such a loud voice. It was weird.
In a way, I was glad though, at least he's a little cheerful now compared before.
But then I realized what he just said and I pursed my lips.
"What do you think, Eunhyuk? Doesn't it seem familiar?" Onew seems to like talking loud today.
I saw Eunhyuk look at him in a confusing manner.
"Erm...I'm not sure." I heard him mumble.
"Hmm...Well, I don't think the guy did anything wrong." Onew with the loud voice declared.
Oh. My eyes narrowed.
I so know what he's doing.
Someone wants to be overheard, huh?!
Hmm...Well two can play at this game.
"Well...it's still weird. He's not an oppa to her." I raised my voice as well.
"What?" Taeyeon looked at me weirdly.
Oops.
"Uhh...I mean.."
"Well..he could be older. Though it's not stated." Onew answered back.
I bit my lip. Obviously, that time wherein I said those things to him when we went grocery shopping, his definition of Oppa is a guy older than a girl. Whilst my definition of an oppa is..I cleared my throat.
Anyway, it is so clear, he only sees me as a friend in that situation.
"What do you think?" He asked loudly.
"Well..." Eunhyuk stared at the paper, thinking.
"I think he should stop treating the girl without her consent. Or she'll always be uncomfortable." I answered back while looking at Taeyeon.
"Right, Taeyeon? Oh of course! Thanks for agreeing!" I gave out a forced laugh.
"Maki, are you all right? Shall I bring you to the clinic?" Taeyeon looked worried.
Onew looked at me, his eyebrows furrowed.
"Hey, is something wrong?"
I stared at him, surprised that he was in our side so quickly.
"Huh?" Taeyeon frowned.
"Why would you need to bring her to the clinic? Is she okay?!" Onew asked.
Great. I'm just infront of him and he won't even talk to me directly.
"Uhm...I think so. It's just that Maki is acting a little bizarre." She shrugged.
"Oh..Uh...I see." Then he quickly went back to his seat.
And I thought he was actually concerned. ):
Pabo me. I almost forgot that he hates me.
"Well, uh..You're right, anyway Eunhyuk. That's our answer!" He writes it down and Eunhyuk looked more confused.
"But I didn't say anything!"
I wrote down the answer as well.
"Let's proceed to the next question now." Onew said.
#2. Flowers for Friends.
Two friends (Boy/Girl).
The boy suddenly gives the girl flowers which surprises the girl as they are nothing more but friends.
When she asks what the flowers were for, the boy replies that he's giving it because they're friends.
Is that a correct reason?
Another memory resurfaced.
FLASHBACK
"Why are you doing this Onew?" I whispered.
"Doing what?" he looked at me blankly.
"Giving me flowers!" I said.
"Is there something wrong with that? We're friends aren't we?" He looked hurt.
END OF FLASHBACK
I frowned.
"Which guy would give flowers and say that he's only giving them because they're FRIENDS?" I asked Taeyeon in a normal tone this time.
I frowned.
"Which guy would give flowers and say that he's only giving them because they're FRIENDS?" I asked Taeyeon in a normal tone this time.
"Yeah. It's kind of confusing but--"
"Is that wrong?" Onew asked loudly again.
Obviously he heard what I said to Taeyeon.
"Well, no. But it sure creates confusion!" I frowned.
"Yes! Exactly! I mean--"
"Well..he could be giving it to her because it makes her happy. Maybe she really likes flowers or something." He frowns too while looking at Eunhyuk.
"Hey, yeah. I guess so. It's just--"
"Well, that's not the correct reason for me! Poor girl is confused now." I crossed my arms.
"Since when did expressing your interest through giving flowers wrong?" He crossed his arms too.
"I didn't say they were wrong." Eunhyuk made a face.
"Boy, Onew. You're one crazy dude today!"
"He shouldn't have given her that reason then! I mean, they are just friends." I ignored Eunhyuk.
"And nothing more?" His voice sounded softer now.
I looked down in my paper.
"And nothing more." I murmured.
#3. Read the following conversation carefully.
Boy: Come on, I'll walk you home.
Girl: Why?
Boy: Why not? We're friends, right? and don't we always go home together? Why should this time be any different?
Girl: But we're just friends!
Boy: So? Is it wrong then?
Defend the boy's argument.
I swallowed. This whole thing is giving me goosebumps! How come I feel like every situation happened to us already?!
FLASHBACK
He looks confused. "What's wrong? Don't we always go home together?"
"Well...are you going to teach me something today?" I asked.
"Uhmm.." He stared up.
"Hey wait, why does it have to be that I'll have to teach you something just so we can go home together? Aren't we friends?"
"And that's all we are, right?" I meant it as a question but it comes out bitter.
"What do you mean? Are you all right?" He looks at me weirdly.
"Well...are you going to teach me something today?" I asked.
"Uhmm.." He stared up.
"Hey wait, why does it have to be that I'll have to teach you something just so we can go home together? Aren't we friends?"
"And that's all we are, right?" I meant it as a question but it comes out bitter.
"What do you mean? Are you all right?" He looks at me weirdly.
END OF FLASHBACK
"Stupid boy. He's always doing things he shouldn't!" Taeyeon muttered.
"It's a wise move." I heard Hyuk say.
"I've never seen anything more stupid." I sighed, joining in the conversation, unintentionally.
And made the mistake of looking at Onew while saying it.
He was looking at me, hurt.
UGH. How stupid am I?!
I forgot that we're only, like, 8 inches apart!
Since the seating from left to right was Taeyeon, Me, space, space, space, space, Onew, then Eunhyuk.
Oh great.
"I mean..." I looked to Taeyeon for help but she just looks confused.
"I think we're supposed to be defending the boy's argument." His voice sounds detached while he looked at Eunhyuk.
Damn.
"That's going to be hard." I mumbled.
"Uh-huh. But I think there are a variety of reasons why guys want to walk girls home." Taeyeon said.
"And what are those reasons? Aside from them being friends." I asked, bummed.
"Maybe he wants to spend more time with her."
I looked up.
Onew was talking loud again.
And this time, he was looking at me directly.
"Maybe he just wants to make sure she's safe.
Maybe he's trying to deepen their relationship--to progress it into something more than friendship.
Maybe it's a chance for him to hold her hand.
Maybe it's that time of the day that makes him the happiest because that's their alone time." He never looked away from me while he gave all those reasons.
I felt a stabbing pain in my heart.
"Well! Those seem legitimate." Taeyeon said brightly.
"Let's steal their answers, huh? Good thing Onew's talking so loud." She chuckled and wrote it down.
I looked at my trembling hands.
"Hello~? Onew?? Should I write it down this time? Who are you looking at anyway?" Eunhyuk grabbed the pen from him.
"The girl who's supposed to be behind those reasons."
I actually heard him mutter.
I actually heard him mutter.
I bit my lip to prevent myself from crying.
Onew sounds hurt.
And he has no idea how that tears me apart.
"No. I'll do it." He now said in a normal voice and got his pen from Eunhyuk.
"Those are my reasons anyway."
"Really?" Eunhyuk was surprised.
"I..I mean, those are the boy's reasons." He cleared his throat.
"Oh..okay." Eunhyuk shrugged.
"You two are so noisy!" Taeyeon scolded them.
"Sorry."
#4. Are there two kinds of date?
When a guy invites the girl out for a date but did not intend it for romance purposes, is this still considered as a date?
FLASHBACK
"Let's go on a date." He suddenly blurted out.
"A date?" Butterflies, butterflies, and more of them.
But what's this? Is this a real date or a friendly kind of date?
"Yeah. Kind of like...celebrating our being friends again?" He said shyly.
END OF FLASHBACK
"It's still a date, obviously." Onew said.
"A friendly date." I automatically corrected him.
He looked at me weirdly.
I quickly looked at Taeyeon.
"Right?" I asked hesitantly.
"Uhm..even though I have no idea what a friendly date is, since you're top 3, then I guess so. I mean a date is necessarily an engagement to go out socially with another person."
"Yeah." I said gloomily while she wrote our answer down.
So based on that answer..
It means that...that one before...?
At the theme park?
That was really a friendly date?
And why am I disappointed? It's not like I ever saw that date as something more than being friendly.
"It was anything but friendly." Onew countered.
"What is?" Eunhyuk looked up from the paper.
"Well the reason for that date was to celebrate our being friends again! That's clearly a friendly date, Taeyeon!" I frowned.
"Huh? I'm not sure I get you.." She looks helpless.
"I didn't treat you like I would treat a friend in that date, Eunhyuk! I mean, I even held your hand and even bumped that guy in the bumper cars for you! Plus, we took selcas and everything!" Onew growled.
"WHAT?! WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?? WE NEVER HELD HANDS!" Eunhyuk shouted.
"Well that date wasn't for romance purposes." I said quietly.
"Maybe because you refused to see it." He murmured.
"Woah there. Let's just go to the next question, huh?~ We already have an answer anyway." Taeyeon said in an overly cheerful voice.
"Okay." I mumbled.
#5 Two friends are talking.
G1: I think he likes me.
G2: Why do you think so?
G1: Well, it's because he's always so sweet to me and he always calls me up and texts me and stuff. That's like you know, by theory, saying he likes me, through his actions~
Is G1 correct?
FLASHBACK
"Because.." This time he stared at the ceiling.
"What if, you know, just theoretically speaking..I like you?" He still wasn't looking at me.
"Because.." This time he stared at the ceiling.
"What if, you know, just theoretically speaking..I like you?" He still wasn't looking at me.
END OF FLASHBACK
"That's not correct. I mean, duh. Any person knows that theories are just... well...theories." I looked at Taeyeon who was nodding and writing it down.
"Theories can be proven too, Eunhyuk." Onew said.
"There you go ag--"
"That's the thing. Until they're not proven yet, they remain as theories, Taeyeon." I rolled my eyes.
"Eh? I didn't coun--"
"Oh really? Then you'll just really assume that someone hates you just because they're not talking to you? That's in theory too, right, Eunhyuk??"
But he was staring at me, waiting for my answer.
"I'm just gonna--"
"Well, Taeyeon, there are times when it's very obvious already." I stared back at Onew.
"Like what?" Taeyeon and Eunhyuk both asked.
"Like that time that someone quickly takes off his couple ring after class."
"Couple ring?" Taeyeon wrinkled her nose and looked down at her left hand. She was still wearing her own couple ring with Teuk.
"W-Well..Eunhyuk..that was.." He stammered.
Eunhyuk's eyes scrunched up in utter confusion.
He just shrugged and took out his earphones and started soundtripping.
"And what about the fact, Taeyeon, that..that someone was teaching someone else the proper way!" I couldn't stop myself.
"What proper way?" Onew and Taey both looked confused.
"By the traditional way! I mean, how come he never taught me--I mean, his--other student like that?! I mean, he did that once when he went to my house but after that? He never did it again! It was always tactile learning!" I complained.
"Who are we talking about again?? Is that our answer for number 5??"
I ignored Taeyeon's question.
"And I remember reading in Mizuki's magazine that boys always sit close to the girls they like just so they can get a chance to talk to that special girl."
And Onew was definitely sitting beside Jessica when I saw them and maybe even yesterday and maybe days before that.
"Hey! Yeah! I think I read that article too! Is that in Candy? Or...wait.."
"He probably likes her." I muttered.
Onew froze.
"What the hell are those kind of magazines you're reading, Eunhyuk?!"
"Me???" Eunhyuk stopped bobbing his head to the music, looking suprised.
"Well, I read really nice magazines sometimes." He smiled gleefully at Onew as if they both know something we girls don't.
"You know. The ones Taecyeon bring over." Eunhyuk laughed.
"Let's just proceed to the next question." Onew said in a strangled voice.
"Hey, you know what?" Taeyeon turned to me.
"What?"
"You and Onew should be partners."
My eyes widened.
"Yeah. THANK GOODNESS. I thought I was the only one who noticed that they were the ones who were talking the whole time!"
Eunhyuk looked relieved.
"Come on, Taey. Let's be partners! We're the real partners anyway~" He smiled and offered Taeyeon his hand.
"Come on, Taey. Let's be partners! We're the real partners anyway~" He smiled and offered Taeyeon his hand.
"What are you talking about?" Taeyeon got up, looking confused, while they both walked away.
Now only Onew and I are left.
Awkward.
"So...next question?" He asked in a low tone.
"That was the last one." I mumbled.
"Oh."
I quickly got up and submitted our work.
Onew did the same.
Afterwhich, he just looked at me.
That's when I realized that this is my chance!
My chance to say sorry again!
After some moment, I gathered courage.
"Onew..I'm sorry. I'm really, really sorry."
He didn't answer.
I don't know if it's because he didn't hear me or if I actually ended up saying them in the first place.
--
I slumped back in my chair, alone.
Stupid activity! It only made me see that Onew really just thinks of me as a friend and nothing more.
"You know what? I think you should read between the lines! Everything is not always what they seem."
I looked to my side.
Hara was explaining this to Joon.
"You're right. I mean, just because he says they're friends doesn't mean that's all he wants, right?"
"You're getting it now!" Hara looked happy.
I rested my chin on my hands.
Read between the lines..
Read between...the lines.
Suddenly, Taemin's words came to me.
FLASHBACK
"It's not silly at all noona. I've never seen Onew hyung like that. He's never given any girl
special attention, he never got mad at his friends, ever."
I remembered the supply closet and the way he looked really pissed off at Joon.
"and, he never grins that much. I swear. He's cheerful, we all know that. But he doesn't grin every five minutes like he does now. Before, he was all schoolwork, friends, and family. But now, he dismisses meetings early. Because he had to tutor a struggling student." He gives me a knowing look.

END OF FLASHBACK
Read between the lines..
Read between the lines..
What was that knowing look? And I'm not sure if I should look at this another way.
But I think Onew was just being dedicated to his duties as my tutor.
Am I right?!
My head hurts already.
I closed my eyes and sighed.
Why is figuring out Onew so hard?
Another moment came to me:
FLASHBACK
"Yobo," I looked at Maki and knelt before her, puffing a little.
Her eyes widened.
"Flowers for you." I handed them to her. "I told you I'd get them for you." I whispered.
"Yobo," I looked at Maki and knelt before her, puffing a little.
Her eyes widened.
"Flowers for you." I handed them to her. "I told you I'd get them for you." I whispered.
END OF FLASHBACK
Read between the lines..
Okay, this one can really make any girl think twice. I mean he did go through that just to give me the flowers!

FLASHBACK
"Were you hurt, though?" I changed the topic.
"...No." It took him some time to answer.
"You're lying, aren't you?" I frowned in concern.
"It's no big deal."
"Did they hurt you?? Does it hurt badly?"
"As long as you're safe, it's fine don't worry about me."
His voice had a stubborn note into it.

His voice had a stubborn note into it.
END OF FLASHBACK
And he always made sure I was safe! What a great friend.
Read between the lines..
Yeah, yeah. I know. It's really too bad I was so stupid and ruined everything.
Another memory resurfaced.
FLASHBACK
"Although, you didn't need to write the magical thing.." I laughed awkwardly.
"Why not?" His voice got serious.
"Come on, Onew. Friends don't...say things like that to each other." I said quietly.
"What if I don't want to be friends?"
"Stop joking around!" I scolded him.
"What makes you think I'm joking?"
"I don't want to talk about this anymore."
"Why not?"
"Because it's weird...and impossible."
"What is?" He was obviously feigning innocence.
"ONEW!"
"Fine." His voice was glum.
"Why not?" His voice got serious.
"Come on, Onew. Friends don't...say things like that to each other." I said quietly.

"ONEW!"
"Fine." His voice was glum.
END OF FLASHBACK
What if he doesn't want to be friends? What exactly does he want then?!
I lifted my head up and glared at Onew who still looked dazed from the other side of the room.
What if he doesn't want to be friends? What exactly does he want then?!
I lifted my head up and glared at Onew who still looked dazed from the other side of the room.
"Thanks for confusing me again!" I murmured, scowling.
"What? Did you say something?" Taeyeon looked over at me.
"No. I didn't say anything." I tried to smile.
"Oh. Figuring out our activity was hard, huh?"
"Yeah."
"Good thing we heard Onew's answers. Haha. I'll see you later." She waved at me and I smiled again.
Then went back to my predicament.
FLASHBACK
"Is it okay?"
"What's okay?" My voice was shaky as well. I stared down, his hands were still holding mine.
What's happening?
And why is this so weird?
And why can't I just stand up and go? I've never been this weak. He had held my hand before, but it never felt like this.
"That I like you." I felt his gaze on me.
"Is it okay?"
"What's okay?" My voice was shaky as well. I stared down, his hands were still holding mine.

END OF FLASHBACK
"I really wish you did like me, Onew." I stared at him.
"Then maybe I could still see your smile. I'm really sorry."
Soon, after thinking about all of these and reading between the lines.
I have reached a conclusion:
I love Onew.
Suddenly, he turned towards me, my eyes locking with his.
I mean, I am inlove with Lee Jinki.
Yes, way more than his fangirls can love him because I know how he really is.
I know he treats girls right. I know he's perfect.
And one thing's for sure.
I'm going to take a chance.
I'm going to take a chance and tell him.
And it doesn't matter to me anymore if he likes me back or not.
It's just important for me that I tell him what I feel.
The bell rang and he looked away and stood up to get his things.
I stared at his retreating figure, filled with a new resolve.
He won't be walking away from me anymore.
This time, I'll make sure that I'll only say the truth.
I'll make him listen and after that, he can ignore me for as long as he wants to.
Even if it will really, really hurt.
I need to tell him I love him.
I have to tell him I need him.
Because finally,
finally...
I've figured it out.
class notes
OHMYGOSSHHHH. >< Finally! UPDATE. WHEW. :DD thanks for being patient guys! Haha.
This chapter was...one of the most...not really hardest...but, kind of frustrating to write.
Did you guys know I made three versions for this chapter?! ROFL.
Version 1: Maki realizes everything in her room (if you remember in the previous chapter wherein she was rushing to her wilting flowers) she has her realizations there. But I realized it was boring. And it looked like a filler chapter. Thanks to my freaking writer's block. -_-
Version 2: Maki and Onew actually became partners! (Yes, Maki didn't exchange her shape with Hyuk's.) I thought this version was pretty okay but then I realized, when I re-read my next chapter, I'd have to redo it if this was the version I'll post. And I think Maki and Onew shouldn't have any direct contact yet.
Version 3: IS THIS. :DD My sister, who is also my proofreader, (lol) told me this version was better. Keke.
So I hope you enjoyed it! Lots of flashbacks, huh? :\
