First Step

 

First morning in Paris is good. The birds are chirping outside my window. Sunlight is peeking through curtain’s space. I smell something sweet coming from outside the door. Seconds later, it flings open. Sehun is holding a tray of something I believe is food.

Today is the first day of the week I have with him. After thinking a lot last night, I come in conclusion that this one week is going to be us only. I will let myself to feel this feeling a bit longer. Next week, I’m going to start the first step.

Let’s take this as some early healing. Because, hey! I cannot probably suddenly start something unreasonable. We have no argument so I have no valid reason to stay a bit away from him. Yeah. I decide to take a step back. Once in a time. As the time passed, I think we will grow apart naturally.

There is no other way but this.

Sehun will only come after me if I take drastic way like completely kicking him out from my life. It’s not going to work.

Three more week is enough for me to step back a little. After that, I will pour my focus on other competitions. I always join these competitions even though school just start. The teachers are already informing me about the events. They help me to select whichever competition I want to join.

I talked to my parents already and they help me to join five major competitions that will give me good note on my resume for college and the other is up to me. The teacher actually offering me about 10-15 competitions already. It will take me whole year to focus on my competition. With school clubs activities, my academics class and works, and competitions in my hands, I think I will get really busy for the whole year. Even on the first two months next year.  

I have about 3 until 4 competition each month. I will clear my schedules for exam because exam will take my whole school life and I can’t manage to fail on exam. That’ll be not pretty for my report card later.

I don’t know what will be happening with me later. But I need to get busy. I never join this much competition before. Usually I only join 2 competition per month max because of the stress that will ruin my day.

I can’t lie that this will increase my stress level more. But I think I can manage now. I’m different from what I am last year. I’m growing up. I can handle stress well now. I also think that this will be great opportunity for me to spread my wings.

I will meet new people. I will get more experience through every competition. I will get more connection. Who knows they will be useful for me in the future? And I will treat this as training. When I in college or work life, the pressure is going to be bigger and stronger. I need to train myself to face the worst. To face the pressure.

“—kay?”

Huh?

Sehun is looking at me with frown. He rolls his eyes playfully.

“What are you thinking again, huh? You are so easily getting distracted lately.”

Thinking the way to avoid you. I’m planning how to distracting myself from thinking of you, okay?

I didn’t tell about my plan to Sehun yet. I know he will disagree. For sure. He will tell me to lessen it because I have to focus on school too. Too much stress is not good –he said.

I shrug, taking the hot chocolate from the table next to me.

Hmmm, this is so good. He always knew how I prefer my chocolate. Not too sweet, a bit bitter. With marshmallow. Even the temperature is always right. He is my best chocolate server. Even my brother can’t make my preference of hot chocolate.

He serves me pancakes with blueberry-banana and caramel.

Wait.

“Do we have these ingredients at home?”

He chuckles. Taking my fork to eat a piece pancake I already cut.

“You sleep like dead woman. I went to buy groceries. France class on eight grade come in handy, finally.”

“Good. At least you prove yourself that you are useful for me there.” I wink. He mess with my hair playfully.

He takes another piece of my pancake and starts to feed both of himself and me. We talk and tease each other like usually. For once, I think that we are going back to where we were before. Where we only best friend before I suddenly realizing my stupid crush.

Sehun is always be a good friend, easy to talk. Although sometime he can be really annoying like when he suddenly drag me out to walk around the city when I still need my beauty sleep.

I really hate him when he drags me out of my bed and place me on the bathroom. He doesn’t even leave me until I wash my face and brush my teeth. If not for me to change my clothes, he will never stop bugging me.

Even my clothes, he prepare it –saying that it will spare us more time to enjoy the city.

Our friends are video call me when we enjoy our snack. We sit in front of fountain.

Jongin’s face comes first.

“Where is Nam Jaeyul when she is the one who initiating this video call thing?”

I shrugh.

“Anyway, you have no schedule today?”

“Not yet. The briefing is tomorrow.”

He nods. “I’m hungry. You are good there, right?”

If anything, Jongin is also a sweetheart. He may appears nonchalant about anything. He may look like he doesn’t care about anything, even for his friend. But he is such a softie. He can be cute sometimes. There is one time that he was craving for fried chicken. But the boys didn’t want to come with him. Suddenly he appears in front of my door, offering 2 big tubes ice cream –my favorite one. Just then he kidnapped me to eat fried chicken with him.

When I asked him why he didn’t ask Jaeyul, he said that because I’m cheaper and easier than Jaeyul. I would come without so much fight. If Jaeyul, he has to buy at least pair of shoes.
