Chapter 6: Dinner, Ice Cream, and Soju
Little Did I Know
I guess you’re wondering now what happened. What happened between Im Nayeon and I? Well, so much happened. I wonder where I can even begin.
After SIXTEEN, we moved into our dorms and like I said earlier, I roomed with Momo. This in a way caused Nayeon and I to spend less time apart. And then I got close to Mina and Sana, so Nayeon and I stopped hanging out as much. But I always tried to see her and I could never stop thinking about her.
We drifted apart. But the love I had for her never went away. It got awkward between us. I felt like I was slowly losing her. Even though I was happy with my new life, Nayeon still was the girl of my dreams.

After the restaurant we walked around and ended up in the park. Luckily there weren’t a lot of people and we sat down on a bench. I remember telling her to wait while I ran to a nearby convenience store and bought some ice cream for us.
I carried the bag of ice cream back to the bench and Nayeon smiled and waved at me. We enjoyed the ice cream, often stealing bites from one another, and laughing. I told Nayeon how happy I was to be spending time with her. I told her how much I missed her and how apologetic I was for not hanging out with her. She did the same and we just were gazing into each others eyes. Nayeon broke it and leaned her head on my shoulder.
I felt content being there with her. She still knew how to make my heart race and I thought to myself it’s okay if we only
