Myungsoo noticed that you have been acting weird these days. Not just weird, but awkward around him. These “changes,” he thought, has occurred ever since he, Sunggyu, and Sungjong visited you in your apartment.

Thinking about this, Myungsoo remembered about the two of them teasing the both of you.

She’s probably feeling awkward around me because of that, Myungsoo thought, Thanks a lot Sunggyu and Sungjong. My friendship with ~~~~~~~ better not fade.

Myungsoo was stealing glances at you while the teacher was discussing your lesson. He tried to “secretly” watch you as you were playing with your pencil. Naturally, your pencil rolled from your desk to the floor and Myungsoo bent down to reach it. Just when he almost grabbed it, your hand and his touched.

You and Myungsoo froze. None of you knows if its because of the spark running up and down your spines or if its because you two simply like the feeling of the others hand touching yours.

Myungsoo felt the heat rush into his cheeks and his heart skip a beat. Immediately, he pulled his hand away.

“S—Sorry!” He stuttered trying his best to hide the red creeping up his face.

“N—no!” You shook your head—almost too awkwardly. “It’s..fine.”

You were able to get your pen back and you tried your best to sit as comfortable as possible. You were restless. You wanted to look and look and look at Myungsoo, but you tried with all your might to keep your eyes from landing on him. Fortunately, you were able to. But then, you couldn’t help but think : Were my feelings for him obvious?

Myungsoo, on the other hand, couldn’t help but glance at you all throughout the class.

Something has changed, Myungsoo thought. Being best friends since forever, he knew that you used to be a hundred percent comfortable around him. But…what happened to that one hundred percent? Clearly, he’s already noticed that you’re acting not only shy, but also awkward around him.

Thinking about this, he couldn’t help but think:

Did I do something wrong?

Does she know I love her?

Is she tired of people teasing the both of us together?

Because of all these things clouding up in his head, Myungsoo heaved a sigh.

**

Does he know already?

Is it that obvious that I like him?

Why is Myungsoo glancing at me?

Why is Myungsoo looking at me like that?

Damn it! Stop it! You have no idea about the effect you have on me!

Just when you couldn’t take all these thoughts flooding your mind, you abruptly rose your hand.

“Yes ~~~~~~~?” asked your teacher.

“Can I be excused, ma’am?” you almost stuttered. “I need to…used the comfort room.”

“Erm…sure,” she blinked then continued her discussion.

Having permission, you stood up and rushed out of the class still feeling Myungsoo’s eyes on you.

After a brief trip to the comfort room, you sat on the stairs. You placed a hand over your chest and felt the pounding of your heart. You heaved a sigh.

“Why do I feel this when I think about him… Shouldn’t I be feeling these for Chunji instead?” You muttered to yourself.

You buried your face in your hands and begged God that he doesn’t know. Falling for someone who doesn’t like you back is painful enough, but falling for a best friend who might not feel the same is hell.

“Myungsoo-ah,” you whispered, “I think I already like you…”

Just when you’re about to stand up and return to class, you heard someone softly call your name. You glanced over your shoulder and your heart almost leaped out of your chest.

With your jaw dropped open and your eyes round, you saw Myungsoo behind you.

“Hey,” he said.
