That day after he asked me, the rumors spreaded quicker than I thought. Seunghoon was a popular kid, the kind that everyone would do anything just for a piece of gossip of him. And well, I was just plain, old boring Jinwoo with barely any friends. Everyone in class threw glares and glances at me for the whole week but it didn't bothered me much. I was so used to people saying-loud enough for me to hear-things like, " Look at him. He tries so hard to be cute. " " Is it just me or his innocent personality is very annoying? " " He's not even straight! " " Oh, there he is, playing mr. shy deer again. " " I bet he's up to no good. " I was so sick of it to the point I just ignored it. 

Until one day.

" What's with you and Seunghoon? " The red-haired girl screamed down the hall, her footsteps followed quickly after mine. She's been trying all week to get me to tell her something about Seunghoon. My first thought was she probably had a crush on Seunghoon.

" It's n-nothing! " I managed to choke out, my cheeks reddened at the thought of him. 

The girl was getting pissed, I could tell. " C'mon! Tell me everything! " She bolted right past me and stopped me from walking that I almost bumped into her. She grabbed my hand tightly that it was hurting me, " You bastard! Tell me! "

Honestly, I was terrified and angry. What have I done to be treated by everyone this way? Before I could stop myself, I yanked my wrists away from her and screamed, " Stop it! Nothing's going on between me and Seunghoon! I hate him! I hate all boys! "

The girl's jaw dropped with a confused face. For a moment, everyone in the hallway quiet down and just stared at us or me. And out of nowhere, there he stood. Lee Seung Hoon. His hands tucked in his pants' pockets and his hair messy and his face pale, as if he has just recieved a shocking news. But still, he looked beautiful. Then, I realized what I've just said. What he just heard. His eyes widened and met mine. His strong gaze caught on to mine and I saw hurt, anger, disappointment then all at once. 

He looked away and that was when I knew, I lost him. He dropped his head and walked away, to the other side of the hallway while my gaze couldn't leave the sight of him. I wanted to run to him, to throw my arms around him and apologize and confess my love. But I coulnd't. 

That night, 7o'clock at the clock at Gangwon-do. I wore my favourite grey hoodie. I kept telling myself I would fix things. I woulnd't be so shy anymore. I would apologize and let him know how I feel about him. It was all going to work out. The sky looked as if it was going to rain again. I waited and waited. But Seunghoon never came.
