Junhyung POV

I watched as she was putting her things in her locker. She seemed to have a difficulty reaching the top of her locker. I was hesitant to go and help her seeing as our relationship became more complicated after the incident that occurred a month ago. I clenched my fist in confusion. What was I thinking? I am Yong Junhyung. I fear nothing and no one. I walked confidently to her and helped her reach the book she was trying to get. I looked down at her large brown eyes that stared back at me. Her cheeks were slightly flushed and a slight grin formed but disappeared just as soon as it appeared.

“We need to talk”

“What for?” she managed to choke out.

As students started to pay more attention to us, I forcefully took her books with one hand and with the other; I grabbed her hand and led her to a private place to talk. We approached the empty and silent classroom at the end of the hallway. I let go of her hand. I was amazed at her facial expression of annoyance; it was so similar to Jiyeon’s. She definitely learned a thing or two from my sister. Facing in front of her, she tried to avoid any sort of eye contact with me. Her eyes were intently placed on the ground.

“What do you want Junhyung? This won’t be good if others see us”

“I know. I just can’t get that incident out of my head. How can you say so carelessly that the kiss we had meant nothing?”

“It was an accident. Let’s forget about it and move on. It happened so long ago”

“Jiyoung, how long are you going to make me wait like this for you to realize that you like me?”

“I’m not going to hurt my friend”

“Are you talking about Jiyeon? She probably knows something already”

“Don’t Junhyung”

“Then what do you want me to do because I’m lost now”

“Why don’t you ask all the other girls you date around so often?”

“Is this what its really about? Are you jealous? The only reason why I date around is because the girl I’m waiting for has not come to the same conclusion as me”

“And what is that?”

“That you like me but you just fear you’ll hurt Jiyeon. Jiyeon won’t be hurt if anything she will be happy for us”

“Didn’t you tell me that you weren’t looking for a serious relationship? You like me now but what about tomorrow, the next day or next week? Can you guarantee anything to me?”

There was nothing there but hurt and pain written all over her face. Jiyoung didn’t want to listen to me anymore and I could tell. To be honest with myself, she was right. I don’t want to be in a serious relationship. What can I guarantee to her? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I can’t say that what I feel now is going to be what I feel tomorrow or the next day or the next. But did I not even have the right to simply like a girl and have the desire to date her? Was I that out of line to ask? I had no more words to say. I looked away from her and my eyes set on a dark figure near the entrance of the door. My heart skipped a beat when I found out that someone could have heard our conversation. Quickly, I ran towards the entrance of the room but when I looked around the hallway, there was no one there. Was I hallucinating now?

I turned my attention back to Jiyoung. She grabbed her books and left the room wi
