Foreword

It was an ordinary yet perfect Monday.I can feel the soft air gently touching my cheeks and the cherry blossom leaves are dancing with it.Having the thought of transferring schools from an 'All-girls' to a 'Co-ed' one irritates the hell out of me.All I can do is to sigh countless times and accept my ill-fated situation.But never the less,The sight of these magnificent trees warms my head and makes me forget my problem in the meantime.

 

Now, what to do? 

 

My mom did all the packing of stuffs and processed the papers needed for my transferring.She even told me to rest and spend my 'free day' exploring my new school.But viola! Instead of saying 'no',I'm stucked in a school bench letting the time to pass by quickly.

 

I can see students laughing,talking,walking,gossiping,breathing and doing all those gerunds and verbs that describe any human activity.

 

My heart is bland.I can never feel the excitement.

 

On windy days like this,I'm used in seeing skirts and undies getting exposed because of the wind.

 

Hah, youthful days.My heart pounds a lil bit just thinking of 'undies'.

 

What can I do If I'm more interested in women rather than that of filthy men?

 

Women are harmless, more of like I want to protect them even if I am a woman myself.

 

Maybe, just maybe in this school I can meet a woman who can change my life.

 

Or maybe a man who will make this lesbian flip.

 

It really sounds funny right?

 

Anyways---Because of thirst, I finally stood up and took a few steps towards a vending machine.I want to grab a soda drink, the cheapest one.However,I was about to fold my knees and check those drinks when I saw two 'guys' talking privately on the corner.

 

Nah,It was supposed to be out of my business but I had a glimpse of what they're talking about.They're students of course and are wearing the highschool uniform which I wanted to wear too.

 

"A-Are you ready to hear it?" He seems to be nervous but his voice was a bit magical.Like my ears wanted him to sing a lullaby.More of like a melody which kept on replaying in my ear.

 

The guy was frail and petite.His pineapple-cut inspired hair was dyed ash brown.While his nose was perfectly refined and his eyes were filled with innocence.Even though he was far, I can see the brown voids of his eyes.And on top of that, He has a beautiful lips--A heart-shaped one.

 

This is the first time I saw a guy like that.

 

Really, He is somewhat mysterious.

 

Making my body twitch for a second, That's a first for guy!

 

"Sure.I'm always ready to hear what you have in mind." said the other one.He's taller, and I can only see his back.His hair was a bit darkish brown and the shape of his body makes you think that 'this boy is definitely a dancer'.From his posture itself, I am already sure of it.He is definitely part of the ordinary men.

 

Not that I care though, but a part of me wanted to hear what they're talking about.About 75% percent of me is dying of thirst.Still, I bended my knees and chose a drink.I have a couple of coins in my pocket so I used them.

 

I hummed a bit while waiting for the second my drink will appear.

 

But it didn't.

 

Are you kidding me?!

 

"Uhh...Well.." I was about to kick the machine wholeheartedly but I was stopped by his voice again.

 

"K-Kim Jong In!" His stiff and shaky composture changed into a more rigid one.His tone also became somewhat 'braver' and compact.

 

"You don't need to shout." the other guy teased.He let out a chuckle making the smaller guy, b-blush?!

 

I bit my lip.

 

No, this is insane.

 

My attention is now on the smaller guy,not on the stupid machine who stole my money.

 

"I--I--"

 

No, I musn't! I bit my lip harder and lowered my head.

 

"R-Really..I--"

 

I kicked the machine so hard that it almost fell sideways.The impact created a loud sound but It did not matter to me anymore.

 

In the end, alongside with that 'Bang', I heard the guy confess.

 

"I like you Kim Jong In!"

 

Boom, Magic word.

 

He's like me after all.

 

I wanted to grab his collar at that time and punch him in the face.He's just wasting everything.Their friendship and all of their precious memories together.I wanted to tell him that I did that too and nothing will happen if you confess to someone you like.

 

Yet, I failed.My foot stings and I can't walk.All I can do is to wait for the other guy's response.

 

My drink is still missing.

 

Will I kick this vending machine again?

 

"I see." I heard the Jong In guy speak after a few long seconds of silence.Jong In was pretty much in dilemma right now.I managed to steal a glance at them but still,I realized that it was different from the experience I had.

 

Right.

 

"Let's date then."

 

Happy ever after.

 

Like Cinderella jumping because his Prince danced with him.

 

"R-Really?!" I can't face the. right now but I'm sure the smaller one is happy.

 

Fate sided with him today unlike me.

 

"Yes,I'm willing to be your boyfriend.

 

Do Kyung Soo." Jong In answered.For a tough guy, He hid his happiness very well.

 

He's still composed as ever.Like no one confessed in front of hime.

 

You know,I confessed to the girl I like yesterday but I was dumped.She even called my name passionately before she answered but I already knew the answer before I should have heard her say it.

 

I ran.

 

Crying and shouting on top of my lungs.

 

And just like that, Love broke my heart.And I still love that girl.

 

I always tried to smile, hiding the pain.

 

But moving on was never easy.Who said that it can be gone after a few days?

 

That's why I hope that in this school, My heart will be completely healed.Even if it will take many years.

 

While thinking, I suddenly felt a slight force on my right foot.

 

My drink,It fell.

 

It rolled and rolled.

 

It never stopped.

 

I chased it and ran while tears are running from my eyes.My thirst was already building up and time was going slow.

 

Finally,the can stopped from rolling since it stumbled upon a shoe.

 

Crap.

 

I want to bury my face on the ground.

 

"Is this yours?" He picked it up and gave me a deadly look.Who knew that this frail guy can actually give me the creeps?!

 

This brat,I underestimated him.

 

First impressions do not really last and I learned that today.

 

I wiped my tears and answered him, like a man.

 

"Yeah, Sorry for interrupting your mushy conversation." I bowed down and snatched my drink.I got to see Jong In's face and he seems to be in a total shock.

 

Is it weird to look at him with my weary eyes?

 

"H-Hey are you alright?" this Jong In must be a softie.He even checked me if I'm okay.I bet his boyfriend must be dead jealous right now.

 

"I just watched a very dramatic scene from a movie that's why I cried.Sorry If I made you guys uncomfortable." I smiled.I have no idea what to say.

 

I really need to devise a statement to escape.

 

"So, that's it! Goodbye! Have a wonderful day!" I cheered.Wiping the last drop of my tears.I turned around, assuring myself that everything is fine now.

 

I can feel that the Kyung Soo guy was still staring at me since I still have goosebumps all over my body.

 

"C-Chill!

 

I won't steal Jong In!

 

Promise, I'm a lesbian!"

I shouted, while shivering.I did not face them so I had not seen the expression on their faces.All I did was to walk away,fast.

 

I crossed my fingers to prevent bad karma and hoped that we're not on the same class tomorrow.

 

Argh, I'm really thirsty! I really need to explore this school and go home immediately.

"It seems like, She misunderstood."

 

"It's your fault since your stares are deadly."
