Blast From The Past | Ryeji

[Finale]

Flashback:

Yeji's POV:

"Wait! You know my name but I don't know yours!" I called out, hoping she'd turn around. Unfortunately, she didn't. I let out a groan before turning around and marching my way back to my gay best friend, Daehwi. I punched his shoulder,

"What the hell was that about? I almost got her name!" I whined out, clearly referring to the endearment. Daehwi laughed and shook his head,

"I didn't know she'd walk away from you right away," he defended. "She must really like you," he teased. I narrowed my eyes,

"How would I know if she just walked away," I groaned. I sighed and slouched my shoulders,

"I hate that I'm graduating tomorrow. Now I'll never be able to get to know her," I mumbled out while leaning my back against the lockers. Daehwi sighed and patted my shoulder,

"Why didn't you ever talk to her?" He asked. I shrugged while looking down at my shoes,

"Her perfect face gets me nervous," I muttered out causing him to laugh lightly. I groaned,

"Don't make fun of me, Hyunjin does that enough because I can't say one word to the girl!" I pointed out. Daehwi laughed and ruffled my hair before draping his arm on my shoulder and guiding us to our next class. I turned back around and frowned seeing the girls figure disappearing into the crowd.

Will I ever see her again?

Ever since I first met her eyes, I felt my knees weaken. They were just so beautiful and made me feel safe. And every time I tried to grow the courage to even speak to her, she'd meet my eyes and I would immediately look away. The connection I kept feeling from her was unreal. It felt right.

Euphoric.

"Yeji ah!" My cousin squealed out from FaceTime. I laughed and waved,

"Hey Hyunjin!" I greeted. He waved in return,

"How's the packing going? Excited to move back to Korea?" He asked, laughing as I began nodding furiously.

"I really am! I can't wait to see you!" I said and furrowed my eyebrows seeing someone walking in the back. I leaned closer to the screen seeing a pink-haired woman walking behind Hyunjin in the kitchen. Her hair was tied and she had glasses on. She looked slightly familiar,

"Who's that?" I asked. Hyunjin looked behind her for a moment before looking back at me,

"That's my best friend and roommate," he said. "Ryujin! Come say hi to my cousin!" Hyunjin demanded. Ryujin looked over to wave and turned back towards the stove. I could tell she couldn't see me since Hyunjin was blocking the computer. But a simple glance from her, I immediately found her quite attractive.

Ever since the mystery girl in my high school, I had a thing for a girl who wears glasses.

"Hey Hyunjin? Can I come visit your apartment when I get there?"

Ryujin's POV:

"H-how'd you find out?" I asked as I abruptly stood up. Yeji smiled up at me and stood up as well,
