I Punch You Back!

I stared at her intently, wondering if she'll look back at me. I've been doing this everyday for the past months. Just staring. She caught me a few times but she didn't say anything, so I continued.

She used to be a close friend of mine, emphasize on used to. And we haven't talked in months, so here I am now, wishing everything can go back to the way it was; if it weren't for my stupidity, she'd actually be mine. But no, I had to mess it all up and make her ignore me. It's our break time and she's in the other side of the classroom; reading. One of the things I love about her, though she used to annoy me to no end, she's really gentle and she loved me.

She’s still not standing up to clean, Ugh! is she gonna let me do everything? so I let go of the broom I'm holding, sat down three seats behind her and stared.

I think she knows I'm staring, she just won't look. So working up the courage, I called her name, "Taengoo..." I whispered. I hope she heard me.

A grunt.

I giggled, This is interesting. I stood up, then walked to the seat beside her and sat down. "Hey Taeyeon." I called out.

"What?" She replied, annoyed.

Breathe in, breathe out. "Umm, what'd you do if I pinched you?" I randomly asked.

She looked at me with a weird expression for a moment before looking back at her book. "I'd.. pinch you back." She answered hesitantly.

"I see," I thought for a moment before asking, "W
