~*Your/Hye Ri's POV*~

I hummed happily as I wandered aimlessly around my room, busying myself with anything that caught my attention. For some reason, I'm feeling extra hyper today... No. It's not because of that strawberry ice cream that I just ate. It's just... I have a feeling that something... big and exciting is going to happen today! Something that will change my life. I have no idea if it will be a change for the better or for the worse, but I just know a change is coming. Something is coming.

Hopefully something good, right?

I tilted my head thoughtfully to the side and let myself collapse onto my fluffy bed, staring intently at the ceiling as if an answer to my excitement would appear if I concentrated hard enough.

Sure enough, almost as if it was an answer, my phone rang on my desk, signaling that I got a text. I perked up at the familar sound and shuffled my way over. Once I checked the name that popped up on the screen, the butterflies instantly swarmed into my stomach. I couldn't stop the shy smile from spreading onto my face or the tint of light pink that colored my cheeks.

It was my bestfriend...

And my crush.

I inhaled deeply, the curiousity of what was in the message was killing me. I tried to chase away the hope that he would say something along the lines of him seeing me as something more than a friend the way I see him as something more than just a friend. I can't get my hopes up to have them crash and burn.

From: Myungsoo

To: Hye Ri

Hey. Do you have time?
Can you come to the park? I want to talk to you. See you in a few, yeah?

I couldn't help the train of hope from wrecking a mess in my brain over his words.

Maybe he returns my feelings...? He did say that he wanted to talk about something and it seems pretty... I don't know how to explain it.

I was sent into a fit of hysterical giggles just thinking about the possibility. A huge smile broke out on my face and it didn't seem as if it was going to leave anytime soon.

I flipped open my phone and tried not to spill my hidden feelings into the text.

Hmm... What image should I go for? Cool? Bored? Cutesy?

I contemplated which one would give me the best reaction from him. Everytime I typed up a few words, I ended up deleting the whole thing since it either sounded too weird or just awkward.

Finally I typed in a simple response and quickly sent it without regrets.

From: Hye Ri

To: Myungsoo

Hmmm... mayyybe. I'll think about it. ;P

Satisfied with my response, I made sure I was in perfect condition -good outfit, nice hair, etc.- before heading down to the first floor, taking the stairs two at a time.

"I'll be back in a bit! I'm going out to meet a friend!" I yelled before closing the door behind me.

--------------------------------------------------

"Whew." I huffed and held onto my knees as I tried to catch my breath. In my excitement, I ran all the way to the park without even thinking about taking the bus. After a few moments, I straightened myself up and saw him standing there, leaning on a tree trunk for support, with an amused smile on his face. I widened my eyes in surprise and my face flushed pink, half because of embarrassment and half because he looked so picture perfect.

"H-how long were you standing there?" I interrogated him.

"Long enough." He smirked mischeviously. "Mind telling me why you're so out of breath and why your face is beet red?"

"Hmph." I twisted my lip and frowned as more color flooded my cheeks. "I guess it wasn't worth coming here just to get teased by you." I my heel and began backtracking the way I came from.

"Yah. Hye Ri-yah. You know I didn't mean anything. Don't you want to hear what I have to say?" I stopped in my tracks.

Should I give in or keep my ground?

I really want to know but I can't let him win too easily, right?

"Hm?" He questioned.

I was determined to stay glued to my spot until the end. I can't give up too easily!

"What? You don't want to know? Okay then... I guess I'll just go home. See you later."

My eyes widened and I quickly spun around. "No wait-!" I frowned once again when I realized he was playing a trick on me. Instead of meeting his back when I turned around, I saw a smile that screamed 'amused' all over it. "Hey!" I whined and crossed my arms.

"Okay, okay. No more teasing." He held up his hands in defeat. "Now come over here so I can talk to you properly. You're too far away from me when you're standing over there."

I secretly smiled, looking deeper into his words than he probably intended. My imagination ran wild and I took his words in a different light than the literal one. 

"Okay Myungsoo Oppa. So what is it that you wanted to talk about?" I stared up at him with curious eyes as we began leisurely walking along the riverbank.

"Well actually, it's more like I wanted to ask you a question." He stopped walking, causing me to stop a few paces after him. I looked back with questioning eyes. How great would it be if he confessed now? My stomach was doing flips and my heart was hammering away at a mile a minute at the possiblity. "W-what's your question?" I stuttered out quietly, anticipating what was to come.

He closed the distance between us and searched my eyes before proceeding. "Will you... be my... g-"

My eyes widened.

Omo! Is he really going to say it?! Is he really going to ask me?! How should I respond? Kyaa! I'm so nervous! I never thought that this would come true!

"guardian for today?" He finished.

After a few seconds of processing what he said, the excitement left me and instead, I tilted my head to the side as confusion clouded my brain. "Guardian...?"

"Yea. You see, I have this girl I really like and I thought that you could help me since you're also a girl. You know, help me with how I should ask her out and gifts I should buy her and stuff." He explained.

"O-oh." My voice faltered. "Sure. But why didn't you ask one of the other unnies?"

"Because, between you and me, you're my favorite out of all of you girls." He covered his mouth as if it were a secret. "Don't tell your unnies or they'll beat me up, okay?" I cracked a weak smile. His comment warmed my heart, but I couldn't help but feel a tinge of disappointment.

I'm your favorite out of all my unnies and me but if you had to choose between me and that other girl you like, you would choose her wouldn't you?

"I won't." I promised. "So... what's your plan for today?"

I can't be so selfish! I have to help him win this girl. That's the least I can do for him...

That's right. If I really care about Oppa, I'll be happy if he's happy. FIGHTING Hye Ri! You're doing the right thing!

"Hm... how about we start with... where I should ask her?"

"Mmkay. Well what's she like?"

"She's smart and angelic. She's cute and has a bubbly personality that makes it impossible for you to hate her. And she appreciates what she has. She's considerate. She puts others before herself and is overall the sweetest, most down to earth girl in the entire world. The only thing is that she can be very naive and won't catch onto something when she's being told straight to her face. I'm scared that someday, because she's so naive and oblivious, something bad will happen to her. So I want to be there to protect her." A smile grew on his face as he spoke about his crush. I couldn't help but feel a tinge of jealousy at how she could cause him to smile without even being present. Disappointed in myself for feeling that way, I quickly banished my feelings of jealousy.

I focused on listening to Myungsoo's words and I nodded my head as I intently listened. "Wha. She must be an amazing person! Mmm... Well, except for being naive and oblivious. Usually it's fine but then sometimes that could hurt her too, right Oppa?" I looked at him questioningly and he nodded in response. "Well, she's extremely lucky that you have a crush on her. Since you'll be there for her, she won't get hurt because she's naive or oblivious!" Myungsoo chuckled with a smile still lingering on his lips.

"That's what I'm hoping for."

"Okay... Hm... for the place... Well, since you said that she appreciates what she has... then you don't need to set up some fancy or expensive place to confess! You just have to confess sincerely in a meaningful place to her... like maybe where the two of you first met! Wah... that would be so romantic... wouldn't it, Oppa?" I showed him my eye smile.

Myungsoo nodded his head thoughtfully. "So a meaningful place over an expensive place? Hm.. I like that idea. It is very romantic." He approved.

For the next couple of hours, Myungsoo and I just walked around town discussing on how to perfect everything for his confession. He brought me to their first meeting place, the jewlery shop, the flower store, everywhere!

The place where they first met was the local park. When we arrived, old memories came flooding back to me. Ironically, it was also the first place where Oppa and I met. I guess this really is a small world we live in. I smiled as I saw myself running into Myungsoo and causing him to spill his ice cream on himself... What a pleasant way to meet, right?

In the jewlery shop, I suggested that he buy her a necklace with an angel pendant because it symbolizes how he sees her. He says that she's angelic, so an angel!

And in the flower shop, Myungsoo Oppa suggested that I choose the flowers since he was sure that she'd like it if I picked it out. I put a lot of thought and care into making the perfect bouquet for Myungsoo Oppa's crush since she's the one he loves.

"Thank you Hye Ri-yah. You're the best. Things are going to go perfect tonight because of you." He pulled me into an embrace.

I smiled into his shirt, memorizing the feeling of being held in his arms.

"Here. Let me take you home."

"No thanks." I declined. "You don't have to, Oppa. Get ready for later. You can't let things go wrong because then all of my hard work will be for nothing!" I joked. "Myungsoo Oppa, fighting!" I smiled with my fist held up in encouragement and headed home before he could argue about taking me home.

--------------------------------------------------

Once I got home, I collapsed face down onto my bed, exhausted.

Why did I go all out to plan Oppa's confession to another girl? Aren't I stupid? If things go well, I don't have a chance with him at all...

Hye Ri, you babo. You want Oppa to be happy right? Then this is the right thing.

"I'm doing the right thing." I said aloud while lightly hitting my head with my balled up fist. I heaved a heavy sigh and cuddled into my pillow for a nap.
