Choi Seungcheol
To All The Boys That I've Loved BeforeMy heart felt uneasy on the entire journey to school , who could have stolen the letters ? I had waved Yuna away , and she was now talking on the phone with Mingyu , her current boyfirend .
What-what if he got hold his letter ?!
" What's gotten into you , Minju ? " Halla asked me . " You've been acting so quiet this morning . "
" N-nothing's wrong , really ! " I assured them . " I just didn't eat breakfast this morning , I think that's why . "
" Why didn't you tell us ? " Yuna looked at me concerned . " Here , have my breakfast . " she handed me her bread .
That made me even more guilty .
The bus stopped at a halt and another herd of students boarded the bus . Some kid came over to our seat , with large glasses and a nerdy posture . He grinned at us , specifically me . Yuna frowned .
" Do you want something ? " Halla quirked .
The kid grinned goofily , he gave me a doughnut . " Here you go . " and he scurried off .
" What was that all about ? " Yuna frowned again .
I shrugged , " Oh well , I'm not really hungry , let's split this in half . "
While we were eating , I caught sight of someone who was staring at us from time to time . Choi Seungcheol , a member of the tennis club . He didn't know we realized him , so he kept on glancing behind at us .
I was close to blushing , there was a reason I was like this . You see , I had a major crush on him two years ago , and I did write a letter to him . Again , it was safely kept in the box .
Until now , they're all gone .
I was writing my essay in the library with no one to disturb me , until someone came over .
" Is this seat taken ? "
Omo , Choi Seungcheol at four o'clock ...
" Um- aniyo . " I blurted . " Go ahead . "
" Thanks . " and he took the seat facing me .
He had a stack of books , wow he really liked studying then . So there we were , not talking and just looking at our homework . All of a sudden , he cleared his throat .
" I , er , got your letter . "
My eyes darted towards him , huh ?! " W-what letter ? "
" You don't have to lie , I found it in my bag this morning . " he explained , all dorky . " Those were really sweet things you wrote about me . "
I blushed harder than ever , he must've found them cheesy .
" I'm so sorry if you found them uncomfortable . " I apologized .
" Not at all ! " he told me . " I didn't know you liked me , Minju..." he said in a quiet voice.
We were quiet for some time . " That's okay , I was too chicken to tell you . No harm done . " I finalized .
" Actually , I wanted to ask you if were still interested , you know , about me ? "
" About you ? "
" I mean , if you still want to go out with me ? Like , this weekend ? "
I couldn't believe it , he asked me out ! This had to be a mistake , I couldn't be this lucky . One of my most major crushes was asking me out in person , I was supposed to be happy , but I was too overwhelmed to even say anything .
" I'll think about it..." I said .
" You will ? Great ! " he replied and started to get up from his seat . " I hope I get your answer soon , I'll see you around . "
" Bye..."
" Oh , and another thing . " he stopped and turned to look at me again , " You actually have really nice eyes . "
" Me ? Your eyes are gorgeous . " I noted , not realizing I just said that .
How stupid was I ?
He grinned and looked at me embarassingly , " See ? You're pretty nice to be with . " and he left me alone .
" You're sooooo lucky ! " Yuna and Halla exclaimed at me as I told them what happened .
Everything except the love letter part ...
" Since when am I lucky ? " I sighed . " I bet he's just pulling a prank on me or something..."
" Minju , not everyone thinks you're a joke . " Yuna rolled her eyes . " What reason would Seungcheol have to play on you , you two hardly know each other ! "
" Which makes it the double reason why he's acting so weird towards me , he hardly knows me ! "
" It's so obvious , he's been liking you for some time already ! " Halla said .
I scoffed , " Now that's a joke ! Why would he like me ? "
" Come on , why wouldn't he like you ? You're sweet , you're caring , you're friendly-"
" Ugh , I don't think I'm perfect at all ! "
" You don't need to be perfect for someone to like you ! Like Mingyu oppa , he likes me for who I am , so that's proof . "
I was still doubtful , " You really think so ? "
" Yes ! " they both said together . " Come on, it's a first for you to actually date someone ! "
" I hope so..."
*The Letter To Choi Seungcheol :
Dear Seungcheol ,
You might not know me , but I know you . We've met before , but you might've forgotten about me . Thank you for helping me during gym class , not just because you helped me mend my wound , but also for letting me discover a wonderful person like you . Your eyes are captivating , like the sunshine that hurts to see but I just can't help but stare at . It might sound cheesy , but my heart beats ten times faster whenever you're around me , I'm not joking . You have a wonderful smile , it'll make every girl happy if you even grin . Every time you walk past me , my whole self just aches to walk towards you and say hello . I'm not joking , I'm a hopeless romantic . If I were given a chance to say something to you , only three words at that ; No , it's not I LOVE YOU .
JUST ONE CHANCE.
Yours truly , Minju .
