This is it.

It’s happening.

They are graduating.

Inhae looked at her mother that was in tears, hugging her as a couple of sniff could be heard.

“I’m so proud of you. You’ve grown up.”

“It’s just high school, mom…I still have college after this.” Inhae had sighed.

Her mother had of course just smiled, not even amused by her daughter’s lack of emotion and hugged her one more time.

 

It was hard saying goodbyes to her friends. They were all busy crying and making promises – Inhae just shook her head at that. She had hugged Seulgi, thanking her for everything and the girl sniffed in tears, hugging her back.

The class gathered around for one last time and agreed on taking the class selfie, posing in front of the camera.

Jongin happened to sit in front of her, grinning to the camera and Inhae tried really hard not to stare at him.

What was it now?

Is it really over for her?

Inhae smiled bitterly to herself.

“Don’t worry, I will send the pictures to you guys later.” The class president murmured.

Inhae didn’t bother on staying for another picture and just stand on the side. Her eyes naturally went to Jongin, staring at how he seemed so happy for the camera and her heart swell.

She’s going to miss him so much.

That stupid laugh of his.

That stupid eye smile of his.

That stupid voice of his.

That stupid face of his.

That stupid smirk of his.

Those stupid eyes of his.

That stupid him.

Everything about him.

Him.

Just him.

She’s going to miss him so bad.

Can she just walks to him and hugged him for the last time and said that she missed him so much? That she was so sorry for not acknowledging him and that she was sorry for not being friend with him?

That she was in love with him?

No. She couldn’t.

Because she knew that he doesn’t feel the same way.

And it hurts so much.

Chapter 21: All along the chapters, it seemed like Jongin likes her?? But maybe he thought she didn't like him or something? It's really mysterious because his friends seemed to know, or it could be that Sehun also likes her? Damn hahahaha. But unrequited love is really hurt, but she seemed happy and more lively now. Hopefully she'll find someone.

Chapter 21: This is the first character that ever feel so close to me. I am exactly in the same situations like her. So the lesson I learned here, is not being too hard on yourself. I need to accept that he will always be in my heart but not in my life. Thank you for the great story.

Chapter 21: PS: I had no idea Jongin would be a perfect character for a high school crush slash heartbreak. But you have written him so nicely that I felt I had a crush on him too xD

I love this fic, author, thank you so much!

Chapter 21: That being said, I miss them so much... They were so cute despite him being a jerk. Isn't that what we all wish though? That somehow the "bad boy" would soften at the girl? Okay maybe not everyone's wish, but I am a er for that!

All in all I really loved this fic. I'll probably read it again when I want to have butterflies in my stomach. It was bittersweet and although the storyline was simple, all emotions were raw and real. It goes to show that even though High School seems like a moment we'll forget because most of us have been young and did crazy stuff, an age where we don't really know anything, I also think it has shaped Inhae beautifully. She turned from bumbling shy girl to an amazing woman.

Also this fic reminds me of a Thai movie called, "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" Both are sooooo beautiful and all the characters are just amazing in their own ways.

I'm honestly going to miss Jongin and Inhae so much >.< Here is to High School crushes that broke our hearts!

Chapter 21: As for Jongin, well, WOW. I do have a lot to say. If I'm gonna be honest, I don't think he ever liked her at all. Sometimes love makes us look through life in pink tinted shades that we don't get to see the true colors of it anymore, unless we actually look hard enough. Perhaps his actions, their small interactions, and even his behavior was interprered differently by Inhae. I mean, she liked him, and its totally naturally to make 100 out of a 0 when it comes to the people we like. Its natural. She wont be able to help it.

Seeing as we only saw this from Inhae's POV tho, my interpretation of it was that those moments didn't mean MUCH to Jongin. Not to say that he didn't care about her, because I'm sure he did, perhaps just not as the same level as her. Like he looked for her, he acted weird around her, and sometimes his words, paired with his behavior, just seems way too intentional to be called a coincidence. I think he may have liked her, probably found her cute or still had the flurries of a childhood crush, but nothing too serious. Like, he has a girlfriend. It could be that he really liked his gf or he dated her to up his image and to feel like he got the prettiest girl. You know, typical teenage boy in high school

Chapter 21: I'm just...I'm sad? But I'm also...happy because Inhae is happy now. Like if we look back in her youth that was mostly Jongin days, she lost the energy to study hard and looked down on herself a lot. She had a lot of fears, hesitation, compared herself often to other girls, and she wasn't confident.

I really REALLY wanted them to be together, that much has not changed a bit, but the ending seems like it would be the best for Inhae. In a way I'm glad that she never knew his answer and assumed things herself, because Seulgi is right, she's a totally different person now. Inhae is happy, she's confident, and she is shining like a star. I am so proud of her and how far she's come. It wasn't easy for her but she pushed through and I'm so glad she's in a much better place now

I hope Jongin remains a beautiful memory to her, even if she lost him
