Eunji was getting ready for her first day at her new school.

 

 

 

 

 

Her heart was still in pain but she doesn't care anymore. She'll try to forget about 'them'.

 

 

 

 

 

Eunji stand in front of her mirror, fixing her school uniform and comb her hair.

 

 

 

 

 

"This school uniform is quite comfortable though. And it's pretty too"

 

 

 

 

Eunji praised. She will start her day with a positive mind and try to make new friends.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Knock. Knock.

 

 

 

 

 

"Sweetheart, are you done? Breakfast is downstairs. Eat up and appa will send you to school"

 

 

 

 

Mr Jung can cook, fold the clothes, clean the house well he's a husband and a dad material.

 

 

 

 

Eunji doesn't get why her mom wants a divorce with her dad. Probably because they don't always have something in common.

 

 

 

 

 

Eunji smiled at her dad and gave him a small nod.

 

 

 

 

 

After having her breakfast, Mr Jung send Eunji to her new school.

 

 

 

 

He helped Eunji with her registration and took her straight to her class.

 

 

 

 

Whispers everywhere. The class became noisy with the new incomer.

 

 

 

"Be good Eunji ah. I'll pick you up later"

 

 

 

Mr Jung ruffles Eunji's hair, messing around with her.

 

 

 

Eunji's class teacher came and look at the both of them.

 

 

 

"You must be Jung Eunji. From Seoul right? Such a cutie"

 

 

 

 

Her teacher pinches Eunji's cheeks and it hurts.

 

 

 

 

"Please take a good care of my precious daughter Miss urm-"

 

 

 

 

"Miss Lee and of course I will. Come Eunji ah, class is starting"

 

 

 

 

Eunji followed Miss Lee into her new class. All of the new faces were looking at her, they smile brightly at her.

 

 

 

 

 

"Eunji, please take a seat beside Oh Hayoung"

 

 

 

Eunji look around the class, searching for the person named Oh Hayoung.

 

 

 

 

 

"Yah, the teacher called you. Raise your hand"

 

 

 

 

A boy smacked a girl's arm which Eunji consider as Hayoung.

 

 

 

 

"Oh me? Oh me! I'm Oh Hayoung!"

 

 

 

 

Hayoung raised her hand as well as her voice. She smile widely at Eunji.

 

 

 

 

 

Eunji then made her way towards Hayoung and sit beside her.

 

 

 

"Hi I'm Oh Hayoung! Nice to meet you!"

 

 

 

Hayoung stick out her hand for a handshake. Eunji slowly took it and Hayoung shook her hand aggresively.

 

 

 

 

"What's your name anyway?"

 

 

 

 

"I'm Jung Eunji"

 

 

 

"Ah okey. Eunji unnie"

 

 

 

"Unnie? Do you perhaps know my birthday?"

 

 

 

 

"Urm duh of course I don't. We just met!"

 

 

 

"Oh Hayoung! Lower your voice!" Miss Lee scold.

 

 

 

 

"Then why are you calling me unnie?"

 

 

 

At that time, Eunji was thinking that maybe Hayoung had this 'I want to be young forever' illness.

 

 

 

 

 

"Ah that's because I'm a year younger than you. I skipped a grade that's all"

 

 

 

 

Hayoung smile sheepishly. Eunji nodded in understanding.

 

 

 

 

"Hey unnie, do you wanna join me for lunch?"

 

 

 

Hayoung offered. Since Eunji was still new in the school and still have zero friend she took the offer.

 

 

 

"Sure. It'll be great"

 

 

 

Eunji smiled and showing her eyesmile.

 

 

 

"Woah your eyesmile is so pretty Eunji unnie. Kyaa!!"

 

 

 

Eunji was about to thank Hayoung for complementing her but a husky voice from the front spoke up.

 

 

 

"Oh Hayoung I swear if you shout again I'll cut you into pieces"

 

 

 

It sounded scary to Eunji. But Hayoung seem like she's not afraid.

 

 

"Don't mind her. She always hate me and probably hates you too"

 

 

 

"You know how much I hate noisy people Hayoung ah and don't say stupid things to the new kid" 

 

 

 

Eunji just sit there and pretends nothing happen and focusing to the teacher.

 

 

 

But the voice is not as scary at the first time she heard it. This time it's so soft.

 

 

The girl finally turn around. Eunji couldn't take her eyes of the girl.

 

 

 

 

Pretty pretty, wherever I look

 

 

 

"I'm sorry on behalf of Hayoung's words. I don't hate you, I just hate noises"

 

 

 

 

The girl smiled prettily and turn back to the front. Hayoung snorted and made an ugly face to her.

 

 

 

 

 Eunji felt her heart beating fastly.

 

 

 

 

 

Eunji look at girl's back. Her straight hair falling down her back beautifully. Her back is small but weirdly pretty to Eunji.

 

 

 

 

Pretty pretty, even from the back
Pretty pretty
Can’t find a single flaw

 

 

 

 

The entire class, Eunji just staring at the girl's back.

 

 

Hayoung notices it and she smirked evilly inside.

 

 

 

Hayoung nudges Eunji's and wriggles her eyebrows. Eunji made her stupid face.

 

 

 

"What?" Eunji asked.

 

 

 

Hayoung's pupils slowly landed on the girl and she wriggles her eyebrows at Eunji again.

 

 

 

 

This time Eunji gets it. She widen her eyes and shook her head furiously.

 

 

 

"Don't deny it. I know"

 

 

Hayoung smile mischieviously.

 

 

 

Eunji made a weird face so Hayoung can leave her alone.

 

 

 

And she did.

 

 

 

 

 

Kring~

 

 

 

"Let's go unnie. I'm starving"

 

 

 

 

Eunji nodded and followed Hayoung to the cafeteria.

 

 

 

"Sit here. I'll buy us food. Want a spaghetti?"

 

 

"Sure, anything is fine though. Here use my money"

 

 

Eunji handed her money to Hayoung but she was ignored.

 

 

 

 

Eunji waited for Hayoung. She was hoping for Hayoung to come quickly because the stares she was receiving making her uncomfortable.

 

 

 

Few minutes then Hayoung came with another girl. Both of their hands were full carrying food.

 

 

 

"Yo wassup new kid"

 

 

The girl greeted Eunji.

 

 

"Yah be polite. She's older than you"

 

 

 

"Omg really? Sorry unnie"

 

 

The girl apologized to Eunji. Eunji smile sweetly saying it's fine.

 

 

 

"I'm Kim Namjoo. And I'm in 4th grade. Nice meeting you urm"

 

 

"Jung Eunji. Yeah, it's nice meeting you too"

 

 

"Ok enough. I'm dying here"

 

 

 

Hayoung interrupted and start feasting.

 

 

 

They ate quitely at first then Namjoo start her story about whatever it is.

 

 

"Oh Namjoo unnie, where's Chorong unnie?"

 

 

"Ah Chorong unnie went to the library. She said she had to return the books she borrowed. She'll be here soon"

 

 

 

 

"Yeah and never show up. Nerd alert"

 

 

 

Hayoung said and continue eating.

 

 

 

 

"Who is Chorong? Sorry for asking"

 

 

 

Eunji asked cause she's curious.

 

 

 

 

"Nah don't be too formal. We're friends!"

 

 

 

Hayoung then hugged Eunji by the shoulder.

 

 

 

 

"Yeah, don't be too formal. Chorong unnie is my cousin. I thought you met her already since you're in the same class with her"

 

 

 

 

Namjoo then switched her attention to Hayoung. So does Eunji.

 

 

 

"What? I thought she knew"

 

 

 

"Well I don't"

 

 

 

 

Namjoo shook her head. Hayoung sticked out her tougue at Namjoo.

 

 

 

------------------------------------

 

 

 

"Hey Eunji unnie, do you wanna walk home together?"

 

 

Hayoung asked as they walked back to their class.

 

 

 

"I'd love to but my dad will pick me up today"

 

 

 

Hayoung pouted.

 

 

"Maybe next time. Tumorrow"

 

 

 

 

Eunji tiptoed and patted Hayoung's head.

 

 

 

 

"You're so tall. What do you even eat?"

 

 

 

 

"I don't eat much. I only stands beside short people"

 

 

 

Realizing what Hayoung said, Eunji smacked her on the head.

 

 

 

"Looks like someone is being too comfortable with me"

 

 

 

Hayoung rubbed her head.

 

 

 

------------------------------

 

 

Eunji was waiting for her dad. She then felt her phone vibrates in her pocket. It's a text from her dad.

 

 

 

Probably will be late. Meeting. Will arrive soon. Sorry sweetheart.

 

 

 

 

Eunji sighed. She decided to go the school's library to kill the time.

 

 

 

 

The library was not empty nor full. Just a few nerds reading books yet it's peaceful.

 

 

 

Eunji searched for a book to read. She scanned the shelves from top to bottom.

 

 

 

 

"Angels exist? That sounds interesting"

 

 

Eunji pull out the book and she saw a beautiful girl behind the shelf.

 

 

 

 

How can I tell you how I feel?
Should I show you rather than tell you?

 

 

 

 

The girl was choosing her book as well. Eunji can't help but to stare at her.

 

 

 

 

Her hair smoothly runs down her back. Her pinkish lips. Her cute nose. Her brown orbs that made Eunji fall deeper.

 

 

 

 

 

Eunji never ever think a normal person can be so attractive yet cute at the same time.

 

 

 

 

Everything about the girl is so perfect to Eunji. For a second, she totally forgot about her pain.

 

 

 

 

 

I’ve never felt this way, I can’t rest for a moment
Because I’m thinking of you, who are you? Baby baby

 

 

 

 

Eunji really wants to know the girl's name.

 

 

 

Feeling like she was being watch, the girl look directly where Eunji was through the little hole.

 

 

 

Eunji quickly putted back the book inside, totally blocking the girl's view.

 

 

 

 

She took a deep breathe. Calming her heart.

 

 

 

"I have to at least get her name. Well, now or never Jung Eunji"

 

 

 

 

 

I wanna go to you, step by step
Without knowing, my heart is pounding

 

 

 

Eunji slowly made her way to the girl. 

 

 

 

Eventhough she's far away, Eunji can still the girl's pretty face clearly.

 

 

 

 

It's like her visual is glowing. So pretty.

 

 

 

 

I need a controller for my emotions
I know this but I get impatient again, hurry hurry hurry

 

 

 

 

 

Eunji was breathing heavily.

 

 

 

One step.

 

 

 

Two step.

 

 

 

The girl moved a bit and Eunji quickly hide eventhough the girl did not have a single clue that Eunji was there.

 

 

 

I’m falling in the end, going on
I can’t escape

 

 

 

 

Eunji took a quick break to calm down her heart. 

 

 

 

She then tried approaching the girl again.

 

 

 

"She looks so pretty" Eunji thought.

 

 

 

 

Eunji never felt this kind of feeling before. Not even for Naeun.

 

 

 

 

Guess she's head over heels for the girl. It's a new feeling for her.

 

 

Finally forgetting about the pain.

 

 

 

This tsunami of emotions is crashing on me
But I’m trusting myself to those waves

 

 

 

 

Just a few metres away, the girl looked up and her round glowing brown orbs met with Eunji's.

 

 

 

Eunji froze at her spot, not breaking the eye contact.

 

 

 

 

She can't breathe and her legs were stucked to the floor.

 

 

 

Her heart was beating rapidly and it's about to burst out any second.

 

 

 

 

I can’t breathe
Whenever our eyes meet

 

 

 

 

 

Eunji was still glued to the floor, sweating nervously.

 

 

 

 

The girl smile sweetly at her and slowly moving towards Eunji.

 

 

 

 

Pretty. 

 

 

 

That's the only thing Eunji had in her mind.

 

 

 

 

 

I’m doubting my eyes, what do I do with you?
You make me nervous again

 

 

 

"Hey. Eunji right? You're not going home?"

 

 

 

 

That angelic voice.

 

 

 

 

Eunji just can't control herself. She stuttered and sometimes accidently bited her own lips.

 

 

 

"I-I'm-n-no..eh? Asdfghjkl"

 

 

 

The girl giggled quitely at how cute Eunji was.

 

 

 

 

"I'm Park Chorong anyway. Nice meeting you"

 

 

 

The girl smile sweetly again and it never fails to melt Eunji's heart.

 

 

 

Eunji was swooyed away.

 

 

 

 

"You don't talk much do you. I'll be going. See you tumorrow Eunji ah"

 

 

 

And the girl waves goodbye to Eunji.

 

 

 

 

"Park Chorong..Chorong"

 

 

 

"Pretty"

 

 

 

 

 

Eunji smile widely, satisfied with what she had gained which is the girl's name.

 

 

 

 

"Wait, Chorong? Namjoo? Nah"

 

 

 

Eunji skipped her way outside the school and there her father was waiting for her.

 

 

 

"You look happy. Having fun?"

 

 

Mr Jung's was happy seeing her daughter being so happy.

 

 

"Yes! I met someone today~"

 

Eunji smile widely and jumped up and down due to the excitement.

 

Mr Jung just laugh at his daughter's behaviour.

 

 

 

----------------------

 

 

 

Eunji woke up excitedly the next morning.

 

Today, she have a new aim.

 

 

"I'm gonna ask for her number today"

 

 

Eunji said to herself in the mirror and smile brightly.

 

 

 

 

"Hey dad. I'll be walking to school from now on"

 

 

 

"Oh okey kiddo. Be safe alright"

 

 

Eunji hugged her dad and rushed to the door.

 

 

 

The blue sky seem bright and the morning birds were chirpings beautifully.

 

 

 

But not as beautiful as..

 

 

 

 

"Hm Park Chorong"

 

 

 

Eunji smiled ear to ear upon remembering the person.

 

 

 

"Ah~ what did you do to me~"

 

 

 

 

I talk about you, I think about you
I talk about you, again, think about you

 

 

 

"Yo Eunji unnie"

 

 

"Yo my dongsaengs~"

 

 

 

"You're happy today. Anything exciting going on?"

 

 

Eunji's eyes look up, acting like she was thinking.

 

 

"Eyy~"

 

 

 

Eunji was laughing and just chilling with Hayoung and Namjoo while waiting for class.

 

 

 

Then she felt like she had to turn around and she did.

 

 

 

"Pretty"

 

 

"What is it unnie?"

 

 

 

Hayoung and Namjoo shifted their gaze where Eunji was looking at.

 

 

"Eh? Chorong unnie?"

 

 

"Bft-she said Chorong unnie is pretty phhh"

 

 

Hayoung was trying her best not to laugh out loud.

 

 

 

 

Namjoo kicked Eunji since she was sitting and Eunji was just right in front of her leg.

 

 

 

"Yah yah why are you kicking me?"

 

 

"Nothing. You've been staring at her and it's creepy"

 

 

 

"Excuse me. I have something to do"

 

 

 

Eunji never forget her mission to get Chorong's phone number.

 

 

"Where you going?"

 

 

"Something I have to do"

 

 

 

Hayoung and Namjoo looked at each other. But they knew what Eunji was going to do.

 

 

 

"You know unnie, if you're trying to get her phone number why bother yourself?"

 

 

 

Eunji was taken back by Hayoung's confusing yet interesting words.

 

 

"What do you mean bother myself?"

 

 

"Urm hello Eunji unnie. I'm Park Chorong freakin cousin"

 

 

 

A minute.

 

 

 

Two minutes.

 

 

 

1 hour.

 

 

 

5 days.

 

 

 

 

10 weeks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

30 months.

 

 

 

 

100 years.

 

 

 

 

And Eunji finally get it.

 

 

 

"Having something without efforts are useless. So I need to get her number by myself"

 

 

 

Hayoung and Namjoo suddenly clapped their hands and shooking their heads like they're impressed.

 

 

 

"Well said Miss Jung Eunji"

 

 

"Pft idiots"

 

 

Chorong was talking with her same age friends.

 

 

Sometimes, she would laugh and Eunji swore it was the cutest thing.

 

 

Eunji walk slowly to Chorong and she was already sweating.

 

 

 

 

I’ll slowly go to you so you won’t notice
It’s a game I’m playing by myself
Freeze, unfreeze, freeze, unfreeze

 

 

 

 

One of Chorong's friend notice her and told Chorong.

 

 

 

"There's a new kid coming at us"

 

 

 

"New kid?"

 

 

Chorong turned around and saw Eunji, tiptoeing.

 

 

 

Felt like she got caught, Eunji nervously scratch her un-itchy head and smile sheepishly.

 

 

"Is there anything you need Eunji?"

 

 

 

This is it Eunji. Ask her. Man up.

 

 

"I-I-I.."

 

 

"You? You what kid?"

 

 

Chorong's friend asked. They were looking weirdly at her.

 

 

 

 

"Man, she's gonna embarrassed herself"

 

Hayoung said while munching her popcorn.

 

 

 

"She wouldn't listen to us. Let's just see"

 

 

Namjoo sipped on her coca cola and not moving her eyes from Eunji.

 

 

 

"Eunji? What's wrong?"

 

Chorong was completely confused right now.

 

 

 

"Can I have your phone number?"

 

 

Eunji rapped her question and good thing Chorong understand.

 

 

She chuckled then suddenly she got shy.

 

 

Chorong's friends were whooing them, some were whistling tunes.

 

 

"Yeah. Here"

 

 

Chorong shyly gave Eunji her number on a piece of paper.

 

 

 

Which stupid Eunji shyly accepted it and dashed back to Namjoo and Hayoung.

 

 

 

"Never thought you would made it unnie"

 

 

Eunji was proud of herself.

 

 

It's still a fresh new start for her.

 

 

-------------------

 

3 months had passed by and Eunji was still trying to be close with Chorong.

 

But Chorong was playing hard to get.

 

 

Or perhaps Eunji was just too slow.

 

 

 

"Yah Namjoo, tell Hayoung I'll be at library"

 

 

Namjoo was eating and Hayoung went to buy her food.

 

 

Eunji was just passing by, she wanted to go to the library as usual.

 

 

 

"Yeah yeah we know unnie. Shoo shoo"

 

 

 

 

I chose my target as you
Actually, I could only see you

 

 

 

 

There Chorong was, standing beautifully as she look through the pages.

 

 

 

Today she tied her hair into a ponytail which look pretty on her.

 

 

 

And also made Eunji fell even more deeper for her.

 

 

 

 

Eunji was thinking hard how to start a conversation with Chorong.

 

 

 

 

Plan A B C D E F G
I have so many thoughts in my head

 

 

 

 

Last time Eunji was too much of a wuss and she lost her first love.

 

 

 

It was heartbreaking.

 

 

Now, Eunji doesn't want the same thing to happen again.

 

 

 

So she decided to man up.

 

 

 

 

"Hey Chorong. Another book?"

 

 

Chorong was startled by Eunji's sudden appearance but then relaxed as she saw Eunji's sweet eyesmile.

 

 

 

"Yup. I finished reading yesterday's book"

 

 

"That book was super thick and you finished in one day?"

 

 

Chorong giggled at Eunji's expression yet it's weirdly cute to her.

 

 

 

"Yeah I guess so. I'm a bookworm remember?"

 

 

"Sure. A goddess bookworm"

 

 

Eunji blurted out. Chorong's face turned red upon hearing Eunji's straightforwardness.

 

 

"Um are you free later Chorong?"

 

Eunji played with her fingers, feeling anxious.

 

 

And nervous at the same time.

 

 

"Hmm"

 

Chorong playfully act like she's thinking hard and Eunji instantly pout.

 

 

"I'm just kidding idiot. Sure, you're taking me on a date?"

 

 

Chorong's words made Eunji blushed crimson red and she couldn't talk properly.

 

 

 

"W-wh-what? D-date?"

 

 

 

"Idiot Eunji. See you at 5 near the XXXX cafe"

 

And Chorong was gone. To her class duh cause the bell rang.

 

 

 

"WOOOO YESS"

 

 

Eunji shouted and celebrate her success.

 

 

-----------------

 

Eunji wore a grey sweatshirt and a pair of blue denim jeans. Yeah simple but hot af.

 

 

She was waiting for Chorong where she was told to.

 

 

She even bought a box of chocolate for her.

 

 

"Been waiting for so long hm?"

 

 

Chorong suprised Eunji by coming from her back and it really does suprised her.

 

 

Eunji turned around and went agape.

 

 

 

Chorong was wearing plain white t-shirt and black skinny jeans. Part of the shirt was tucked in her jeans and it made her look so hot and sassy.

 

 

 

"Are you checking me out?"

 

 

Eunji was snapped out of her thoughts.

 

 

"Wh-what?"

 

 

Chorong laughed a little at how stupid Eunji was.

 

 

"So where are you taking me?"

 

 

"How about a movie? Oh I also bought this for you"

 

 

Eunji gave Chorong the chocolate she bought and Chorong's eyes sparkled upon seeing it.

 

 

Like a kid, she took it and quickly had a bite.

 

 

"Mmh it's delicious"

 

Eunji smiled. Seeing Chorong being happy makes her happy too.

 

 

 

The two went to see "The Emoji Movie" since Chorong hated scary movies.

 

 

"Are you sure you're fine with it?"

 

Chorong asked as she felt guilty for choosing cartoon movie.

 

 

 

"It's fine. I love cartoons too"

 

 

Eunji showed her eyesmile telling Chorong it's fine.

 

 

In which, Chorong smiled back.

 

 

Your smile
I feel like it’ll appear in my dreams too

 

 

 

The movie went well with Chorong's laughter filled Eunji's heart.

 

 

Then Eunji suggested that they'll go to the park near Chorong's house.

 

 

"Really? You wanted to play at night time?"

 

 

Chorong asked and sit on a swing.

 

 

Eunji took a sit beside Chorong as well.

 

 

"Well I have something to ask you"

 

 

 

Chorong looked at Eunji.

 

 

Eunji's heart melted and that pretty face that she will never get tired of.

 

 

"I have this weird feeling since I first saw you"

 

 

Eunji shutted her eyes, afraid to look at Chorong.

 

 

"I always think about you and your smile. It never fails to melt me"

 

 

Eunji took a deep breathe before continuing.

 

 

"What I'm trying to say is maybe I like you. Or perhaps love? I don't know but all I know is for the past three months.."

 

 

 

Eunji dared herself to face Chorong. 

 

 

Chorong tried to pull herself together not to cry.

 

 

"I think it's time for me to call you "mine" officially"

 

 

Eunji stand up and squat down in front of Chorong. She look at her into her eyes lovingly.

 

 

"Will you be mine Park Chorong?"

 

 

Chorong covered her entire face with her hands.

 

 

And it made Eunji confused.

 

 

"Is it a yes or no?"

 

 

"Yah idiot. You know my answer already"

 

Tears rolling down Chorong's cheeks slowly.

 

 

Eunji smile widely and wiped Chorong's tears.

 

 

 

"So, can I kiss my girlfriend?"

 

Eunji asked boldly.

 

 

Chorong close her eyes and move closer to Eunji.

 

 

They shared their first kiss. As a couple.

 

 

Eunji had found her happiness.

 

 

She belongs here, with Chorong.
