“Hyejin, check your locker. You probably got a lot of chocolates and flowers,” Jisun walked next to me giggling excitedly, like how she did when I bought her, her first phone during her 13th birthday. It was Valentines Day today and Jisun was looking forward, maybe too forward, to my presents. Before I opened my locker, I glanced at Jisun who was grinning. “Don't get too excited. It's not like I'm going to share them with you,” I teased as her face formed a shocked face then pouted. “Meanie,” She pretended to cry as I rolled my eyes. I opened my locker and backed away as a volcano of chocolates, flowers, and cards erupted in front of me. “Wow.” My eyes widened as everyone gasped. Before I could even pick up one, Jisun already grabbed a handful and shoved them inside her bag. I chuckled at my weird best friend that I loved and helped her shove the items in her bag. “Hyejin, don't help me. Everyone's looking. You look like a beggar,” She complained as I shook my head in disagreement. “What if I want to look like a beggar?” I whispered quietly as she looked at me wide eyed, “You're kidding me.”

   After I and Jisun picked up the items and put them back on my locker, we both headed for the next period. “Hyejin, L.Joe sunbae will be there. Maybe he'll give you something for Valentines Day,” Jisun wiggled her eyebrows as I rolled my eyes at her. “And what if he will?” I asked, putting my hands on my hips. “That means he likes you.” Jisun giggled, as I playfully glared at her. “I think Niel will finally confess his love for you today,” I teased, as she looked at me with a perplexed face. “Niel confessing?” She asked, looking at me like a clueless puppy. “Can't you tell by the way he looks at you? He totally likes you, Jisun.” After I said that, Jisun giggled and softly whacked my arm. “He does not.” I just shrugged and entered the classroom. 

 Everything seemed normal as I looked around. Students were either reading, writing, texting, or sleeping. I sat on my assigned seat with Jisun next to me and L.Joe sunbae behind me. I took out my book when I heard, “Hey, Hyejin.” It was L.Joe sunbae and I turned around, only to see his beautiful smile. 

 “Hi, L.Joe sunbae.” I smiled, still looking at him. “Happy Valentines Day, by the way.” He said shyly as he took out something under his desk. It was chocolate shaped as a heart and also a card. He smiled and handed it to me. “It's the least I can do.” I smiled, accepting his gifts. “Sunbae, you shouldn't have.” I happily turned around and I heard my phone beeped. I checked the text and it was from Jisun saying, ‘See? I told you, he totally likes you. ^.^’ I glanced at Jisun who was smiling cheekily. “You're sitting next to me yet, you text me.” I muttered as L.Joe sunbae asked, “Did you say anything Hyejin?” I smiled innocently and shook my head, “Nothing, sunbae.”

 “Shut up.” I replied to Hyejin, but didn't realize that I actually said it out loud. “Oh, Hyejin-ssi. Did you just tell me to shut up?” It was L.Joe sunbae again. I shook my head. “No, sunbae. I was talking to my desk,” I smiled idiotically. He smiled back. “You talk to inanimate objects?” He asked and before I could answer, Jisun interrupted, “She sure does.” 

The bell rang and it was time for lunch. I sighed in relief that I finally get to have freedom for at least 20 minutes. Jisun and I headed to the front yard of the school, where we usually eat. We sat down under the big cherry blossom tree and opened our lunch bags. “It's like childhood all over again,” I stated, feeling the breezy air and taking a bite of my hamburger. Jisun nodded. “I remember the time when we would always have picnics. It was fun,” I smiled and nodded. 

 “Oh, and remember when you slipped on the muddy puddle?” Jisun laughed as I gently pushed her away. “Don't remind me of that horrific memory.” However, I couldn't help but laugh as well. It was such a hysterical memory. “Then, you slipped again after you got out of the muddy puddle.” Jisun laughed again. ”Jisun, you're going to choke.” I laughed along with her. 

 “By the way Jisun, did Niel ever give you anything?” After I said that, Jisun was blushing. “Hey, did he finally confess to you?” I asked again and she blushed. “He didn't give me anything or confessed.” Jisun stated, taking a sip of her banana milk. “You better be kidding. Then, why are you blushing?” I asked, as her face turned red again. 

 “Because Niel sang a song for me in the auditorium,” Her face blushed again. “What? When?” I asked, surprised. “When I went to the bathroom,” She replied while smiling. “You went to the bathroom in the auditorium?” I asked, looking at her with a disgusted look. 

 “You're so clueless, Hyejin. That's disgusting. What I mean was that, after I used the bathroom, I met Niel. He asked me to go with him in the auditorium and I surprisingly did and I sat down on one of the seats as he sang a romantic song on the stage,” Jisun's eyes were twinkling and I had to clap, in order for her to stop daydreaming. 

 “Oh, that's why you were taking ages in the bathroom. I thought you were taking a big dump,” I teased as she screamed embarrassingly at me, “Hyejin~!!!” I laughed hysterically as I tried to catch my breath. “Alright. Sorry, sorry.” 

 “Anyways, tell me all the details that happened with you and you know, Mr. Dreamy Niel.” I said, wiggling my eyebrows while taking a selfie. Jisun was chewing mint, making sure her breath was alright. “Alright. I'll explain it to you,” I nodded and waited for her to proceed with her story.

        “Jisun-ah!” I turned around, trying to see who was calling my name. It was Daniel or better off, Niel. “Oh, Niel sunbae. Hi.” I bowed as he shook his head. “You don't have to call me sunbae. We're all friends here,” He said, scratching the back of his head. As I examined him, he seemed to be nervous. “You want me to call you Niel then?” I asked. “Please do.” He nodded, smiling nervously. “Uh..N-niel, are you alright? You seem a bit nervous,” He shook his head with a smile. “I'm fine, very fine. You know, extremely fine. It's not like I'm hiding something or whatever,” He stuttered as I put my hands on my hips. 

     “Ahn Daniel, I will kick your cute .” My sassy mode was activated. “Cute ? How did you know it was cute, hm?” He wiggled his eyebrows, tapping his chin with his index finger. “Well, it won't be cute anymore once I kick it, am I right?” He pouted and I found his thick lips so cute. I can just imagine how kissing him would feel like. I mentally slapped myself. “Anyways, I'm going back to class now. Goodbye Daniel,” I grinned, knowing he hated to be called by his real name. He said it sounded too ‛English-y’ and I really didn't understand what that meant. 

   “Yah, Baek Jisun!” I turned around, only to find him smiling like an idiot. “What do you want, Ahn Daniel?” I asked, putting my hands on my hips again. “Aye, sassy.” He muttered with a grin as I playfully pushed him away, “What did you call me, thick lips?” He pouted, again. “Hey, don't underestimate my lips. They can kiss very passionately, for your information.” I rolled my eyes. “Yeah, sure.” 

  “Jisun-ah, do you want to come with me to the auditorium?” He asked, out of a sudden. “Why?” I questioned as I looked at him intensely on the eyes. “Hey, why are you looking at me like that?” He asked as I quickly replied, “Because men are naughty human beings. They're very unpredictable.” Niel laughed. “I'm not.” He muttered as I replied sassily, “Are you a woman then?” I, then speed walked to the auditorium. “I am not.” He muttered, defensively. 

 I arrived at the auditorium and sat on one of the seats on the front. I looked around and saw a guitar, sitting on the edge of the stage. “Niel, what's all these?” I asked, as out of a sudden, confettis fell from the sky. I looked up high and smiled. “Baek Jisun, I'm going to play the guitar and sing you a song. I hope you like it.” I smiled and listened to Niel singing passionately with his heart melting and breath taking voice. The cute, dorky, idiotic Ahn Daniel was gone and transformed into a passionate and charismatic man. 

  Niel was singing Clazziquai's She Is, one of my favorite love songs and I just couldn't help but blush extra hard. “She's the girl what~ She's the one,” Niel sang and I just sat there, smiling. You are such an angel, Niel.

   “So, are you both a couple now?” I asked Jisun excitedly as she shook her head. “No. It was just a Valentines Day song.” I gritted my teeth and clenched my fist. “Where's that idiot Niel? I need to punch him,” I said angrily, attempting to stand up, only to get pulled back down by Jisun. “Jinnie, you can't punch him. Maybe he just doesn't have feelings for me.” Jisun shrugged and I could tell by her face that she was sad. 

  “Then, why would he sing you a stupid song? To seduce you? What a playboy.” I spat, kicking a small rock. “Just don't hurt him, Hyejin. He might not have feelings for me but he's precious.” She said defensively while sighing. “Alright. But don't fall for him Jisun. You can find better men out there.” I patted her head as she smiled and we both headed back inside the school for the last period. 

 “Then, why is Baekhyun called Bacon?” Mr. Lee asked, as we all shrugged. “Because Baekhyun sounds like Bacon!” He laughed as we all looked at him like he was some crazy idiot. “You guys get it, right?” We all returned him a boredom response as he said, “Alright. I'll stop.” He attempted to walk up to his desk but then quickly turned around, “Let me tell you one last joke about Chanyeol-” 

 “Mr. Lee.” I stated as he nodded, getting back into his senses. Mr. Lee is such a big fan of a group called EXO. I've never really listened to them but I've heard from other people that once you become a fan of them, you can never find a way out which is scary in my opinion. 

 “So today, we will be learning about how to get the EXO members out of the maze in the Overdose music vid-” Before he could finish talking, I interrupted. “Mr. Lee. Get a grip.” My voice was so loud, that everyone had to turn around and look at me. 

 “Oops, sorry again. I got distracted. I was watching the Overdose music video last night and this morning for the umpteenth time. It was awesome. You all should watch it. Hold on, let me get on YouTube and show you all.” He then went to his computer, the SmartBoard, as I groaned. This teacher really can't get a grip. 

 “That's Kai.” Mr. Lee pointed at the board. “Suho.” He pointed out again. “That's Baekhyun. And the tall one is Chanyeol.” I sighed and took out my book. When will this teacher stop talking about craps? “That's D.O. He's really cute, right?” He turned to look at us, as we nodded inactively. 

 Out of a sudden, one person caught my eyes. I didn't know his name but he looked extremely handsome. “That's Sehun. You guys saw him grab his crotch, right? Or do I have to replay that part again?” Mr. Lee asked us excitedly as we all said, “Mr. Lee, we're fine.” in unison. 

 Actually, a part of me wanted that part to be replayed, repeatedly over and over again. But the other part of me is just confused on what I actually have in mind right now. 

   After the music video finished, part of me was disappointed. I wanted to see more of that Sehun guy. “Mr. Lee, lets see that music video again.” I requested, before I even realized what I just said. Everyone looked at me with a shocked face. “Hyejin, what are you doing?” Jisun asked as I ignored her. 

  “Are you sure, Hyejin?” Mr. Lee asked and I nodded without hesitation. “Yes.”
