I woke up when I felt something shining on my eyes.

It was the sun.

I pulled the blanket up to cover my face.

“What time is it, oppa?”

I turned around when he didn’t reply. He wasn’t even on the bed anymore.

I sat up and screen through my room. His bag and coat wasn’t on my chair either.

Did he left without saying goodbye again?

-

I walked into the kitchen and saw Mrs. Kim preparing breakfast.

“Good morning, dear. Did you sleep well?” she asked.

I nodded and poured myself a cup of milk.

“Is Jin Young shii awake?” she continued.

Wha- huh?

“He’s still here?”

She looked at me and nodded. That’s when I realized she was cooking for more than two people.

“He’s in the guest room, right?” she asked.

Guest room?

“Y-yeah.” I simply replied.

“Could you go wake him up? I thought he had waked up so I cooked his portion.”

“Oh, okay.”

“Wait.” She said before I could leave the kitchen.

I froze.

“He didn’t do anything to you right?” she asked.

I was still confused about the whole situation, so I just shook my head.

“Good. You look a bit dazed.”

I am.

-

I open the door of the guest room to realize I’ve forgotten to knock. But then I saw Jin Young still lying on the bed, so I walked inside slowly.

“Oppa.” I shook him. He didn’t move.

I poked his cheek then tapped his forehead. He moves a little.

Maybe I should open the curtains.

Jin Young groan and flipped to the other side.

“Just a minute, mom.”

I laughed when I heard what he said.

He slowly turned his head and looked up.

“Oh my god.” He said, hiding under the blanket.

I walked back to the bed and kneel down. “Wake up, Mrs. Kim cooked breakfast.”

“Okay.” He said under the covers.

I pulled it off but he held it. “I look like a mess right now.” he said. His morning voice was so deep.

“You’ve seen me in my messy state before, not fair.”

He chuckled and pulled it down until I can see his eyes.

“Ah..I’ve never imagine this before.” He said, rubbing his eyes.

I stare at him as he yawns. Was he this cute before?

“Oppa.”

“Hmm?”

“How did you ended up here? Weren’t you sleeping next to me last night?”

He smiled flipped over until he was lying on his stomach.

“I was told to sleep here, not your room.”

I tilted my head and looked at him. “So when did you left?”

He propped a hand up and curled my hair to the back of my ear. “After you fall asleep.”

No wonder it got colder during the night.

I folded my arms and put in on the bed. “So obedient.” I said, placing my chin on it.

He chuckled and ran a finger through his hair. “Of course.”

We stared at each other for a while, until he started leaning closer.

He kissed my forehead. “Good morning.”

I laughed. “Good morning.”

-

Jin Young left after breakfast. He even helped out with the dishes and offered to go shop for groceries.

How sweet of him.

“Go home. Your parents will be worried.” I said.

He pouted at me, hands still holding mine.

“Let’s go out!” he said.

“Your parents…”

“Ah, don’t worry about them.”

I nodded slowly and looked at our linked hands.

What does this means? Are we even together now? This is not how friends would be.

“What are you thinking?” he said, rubbing my hand with his thumb.

“N-nothing.”

He bends down until he reached my eye lever. I blinked a few times.

“W-what?”

He just smiled and continued looking at me.

I step backwards when he suddenly leans in.

He laughed and ruffles my hair.

“Can’t your boyfriend kiss you goodbye?”

Boyfriend?

He stopped smiling when I didn’t respond.

“Sorry.” he said, letting go of my hand. “I just-”

I grabbed his hand before he could step back. He looked back at me.

“I shouldn’t have said that.”

“Y-you, my b-boyfriend?” I asked.

“Can I?” he replied.

Before I could answer, he continues talking.

“I know this isn’t the way you dream of being asked out, but I-”

I shut him up by pulling him closer to me until there was no space between us.

“I never really thought about being asked out before.” I murmured into his shoulder.

He chuckled and rubbed my back. “Is that a yes?”

I didn’t answer.

“Sorry. You know what, forget what I just sa-”

“No.”

He stopped rubbing my back. “No?”

“Hmm.”

“No? You mean, you don’t want me to be your-”

“Nonono.” I looked up at him.

“No, as in… you need time?”

“No.”

He looked a bit confused. “Then?”

“Well I erm, never been in a relationship before. So this is kind of new to me.”

He smiled. “So is it a yes?”

“I can’t tell my parents about you for now.”

“So….A yes?” he pressed.

 Aish, this boy.

I nodded.

He tried not to grinned or look over excited. “We’ll take it slow, okay?”

I smiled.

He kissed the back of my hand and shooed me back home.

A boyfriend huh? This is exciting.

-

The bell rang as wrote the last note on my music score. My classmates were excited as our classes on a dreadful Thursday have ended.

“Goodbye Mia.” A girl said to me. Some boys waved at me.

I waved back.

Just then I received a text from Jin Young.

Have you finish classes? I’ll be done in 20mins so don’t go anywhere, okay? I’ll take you home. <3

I smiled to myself and kept my phone. I stayed put to play some chords on my guitar until a figure appeared in front of me.

“Hi Jin Ah.” I said without looking.

She sat on the table next to me but didn’t spoke.

I stopped playing and looked at her. “Yes?”

“Let me get straight to the point.” She said. “Who is Jin Young oppa to you?”

Didn’t we have this conversation before?

“Erm, a senior?”

“You both look awfully close together. I always see you with him lately.”

“Well, we’re kind of good friends.”

She scoffed. “You like him don’t you?”

Very smart.

“He’s a very nice person.” I said.

The truth is no one knows that we’re dating. Jin Young was literally sulking when I told him not to tell anyone. I’m just not ready to deal with screaming fan girls.

“You didn’t answer my question.” She said, crossing her arms.

“You’re thinking too much.”

She flipped her hair and stood up.

“Well, in case you still didn’t notice, I like Jin Young oppa.”

Of course I’ve notice, the whole school knows about it.

“So I do get jealous when I see someone close with him.”

I sighed and put my guitar back into the casing.

“And your point is?” I asked.

“Stay away from him.”

I looked up at her. “He’s my friend. You have no right to tell me that.”

“He’s more than a friend to you.” she said. “I can tell by the way you look at him.”

“Are you like, stalking me?”

She shrugged her shoulders. “Maybe. But just a little warning, you know who I am in this school, and it won’t be nice if you get on my wrong side. You’ve seen me doing things right? I can do worse.”

“Jin Young oppa is not a property. You can’t just claim him to be yours.”

She smirked. “So now you’re defending him? Did you just call him oppa?”

“Yes.” I answered her in a bored tone.

She took her bag and looked back at me. “Just stay away from oppa. Soon, he’ll be mine.”

He’s already taken, by me.

She gave me a fake smile. “See you around!”

I dragged myself out of the classmate after that.

She does do things that can traumatize you. But it’s not fair how she can do anything and not get punished for it.

Life is really unfair isn’t it?

My thoughts were broke off when I felt something stopping me from walking.

I looked down and saw a pair of arms around my waist.

“Didn’t you said 20mins?” I said without looking.

He chuckled and nuzzled into my neck. “I left earlier.”

“Sneaky.”

He laughed and took my guitar. “Let’s go.”

I nodded and followed him.

As soon as we got out of the school gates, Jin Young took my hand without even asking.

-

Jin Ah saw everything. And she wasn’t happy.

“I knew it! That , what dirty tricks did she use to get Jin Young oppa?”

She lean against the wall and sighed. Soon a smirk appears on her lips.

“Looks like I don’t have to pretend anymore.”
