Kiss me hard before you goKim jongin
Where are you? What are you doing ? Have you eaten yet ?
Who do you love ?
Sometimes i wonder , if i happen to cross your mind , like you would always do to mine . Today , i am seeing you again standing shyly in front of my classroom , with your cheeks on fire , you had whispered the words to me that made my heart flutter .
' Let's go the festival together '
Surprised , i contemplated you without any response . When i got to understand the meaning of the words , i nodded unable to split a word out .
' Wait for me at the namsan tower '
I have waited Jongin-ah , ive waited but you've never showed up .
you disappeared .
The whole day , i kept on thinking about that stranger , who had in reality nothing in common with the pretty little kim jongin i used to know . Then why do i seem unable to get him out of my head? am i paranoid ? I seem to search for him in every new face i meet and it tires me because i just can't forget him .
i can't ;
at the end of the lessons . I headed back home alone humming to myself an old song . i noticed a silhouette from far away , and as i reached the unkown walker , i realized it was the same guy from before . I couldn't contain myself from shouting in surprise .
He turned , our eyes met again .
Blood rushed into my veins , and i screwed myself for being so stupid .
' I am not following you ' i managed to say
and damn it now it looks like i am kind of a stalker especially since ive just said it .
' I live nearby ' i added
He looked at me for a moment , then just ignored me and continued walking . an awkward silence followed and i think i had never stressed this way before .
' It is suddenly pouring huh?'
His voice reached my ears . We were in mid-summer , there were no clouds around , the sun was hot and i was wearing my summer's uniform , tied my hair in a high and loosy ponytail since i felt kind of sweating a lot .
There were no rain
He turned to me and with the same beautiful smile , he whispered ' it is been a while '
I looked at him puzzled .
' Kim jongin ? '
' i am kai though '
' you changed your name? '
' i had circumstances . '
' Since you've recognized me , why didn't you tell me '
' It was fun watching you everyday , without you recognizing me , I am surprised i thought you'd, turn into a more feminine girl '
That's my weapon against bullies .
' I would have never recognized you , you've grown so talll and even your skin had become darker '
' I have changed , i am not the same anymore '
His eyes seemed so empty , as if he wasn't looking at me .
dark
and lonely
' but you still have problems with dealing with boys don't you ? ' he added
' Kim jongin had always been an exception . '
' What ? ' his hands reaching the back of his hair , he messed it before laughing out loud ' How funny , me too . I used to like you '
He then looked at me straight in the eyes ' It sad we can't go back to those happy days '
I ignore how much his words affected me . Because i felt nothing at that moment .
I just recall tears running across my cheeks and him sighing and caming closer , now messing with my hair as he ruffled it with his hands .
' don't cry ' he whispered ' don't cry , it is annoying '
I tried to understand his expression , but the picture came out blurry as tears filled my eyes .
He looked even sadder than me ...
