Chapter 13 :

PARK JIHYO'S POINT OF VIEW

"Look, Sana! We are now high school students!" I excitedly said my best friend

"I can't believe we are now high school, I am sure we can get along with others," I said to her

Sana is looking around and it was different from our grade school

It much bigger than the old one, there are a lot of students too,

New faces, new environment, new school rules

"Hey, are you listening?" I nudged her, she looked at me

I was frowning at her, not to be dramatic, I just like Sana didn't pay attention to me, I don't know why. I want her attention

I am not gonna lie, she looks scared at me

I can read that she is thinking 'If I say that I am listening she won't believe me because she knows when I tell lies'

Of course, I know her too well enough to know if she is laying

"I am sorry Jihyo," she said to me,

I rolled my eyes at her

"I am just excited okay? I was so fascinated at the sight of our new school. Please forgive me" she explained to me,

she side hug me and pouted

She knows it's my weakness,

and I again, I don't know why

"Fine, I understand. But sad to say we are not classmate anymore" I said to her and pouted

I want her near me, every time

This is crazy right?

"But we can still see each other at lunch break, right? I know you will be fine because you are good at making friend while me I am suck" she said and sighed my entire school grade, her friends are Nayeon, Jeongyeon, and I,

She indeed sucks on creating conversation with others and end up being alone.

"Hey you will be fine, you're a great person, just! Don't be so much clingy to them" I said to her, just thinking of Sana being clingy with others makes me want to punch whoever that person is

"What is wrong with being clingy tho" she complained and pouted

"They might misinterpret it because they don't know you personally," I said to her and tap her shoulder

"And hey!! Call me if someone disturbs you okay?!" I yelled at hers and motion my hand that I am watching her

"Ne mom!" She said to me

I rolled my eyes at her and I walked to my said classroom for my middle school

When everyone started to tease us, I feel butterflies inside my tummy that wanted to come out

But every time I look at Mina, I don't like how she looked at Sana,

It's the way I look at Sana too.

I am happy that Sana found her childhood friends, but I don't like the idea that she will be having a lot of time with that Mina girl

That was the first day I noticed something is off, I started to act and feel strange every time Sana is around,

============

"Why are you good?" I suddenly asked her when our friends finally go home

That was the day that Momo almost burned their house but instead of arguing with Momo she looked worried instead,

I saw her looked at me in my peripheral vision and frowned

I decided not to look at her that time, I am afraid she will notice what I am feeling right now

My hands are at my back while I am kicking the small rock in front of me, why do I act like this again? Dammit!

"What do you mean?" She asked me

I finally looked at her,

Unusually, the atmosphere feels different, it feels silent, I am afraid that she can hear my heartbeat

"You" I pointed at her certainly on her chest where her heart located

When did I learn to act boldly? Where is my confidence coming from?

"You are being a good friend, why are you like that?" I asked me poking her chest 4 times and look into her eyes

she gulped

"Should I be a bad friend?" She joked at me,

I smiled at her, corny Joke but I still found it cute

I gave her a half-smile, a genuine one

"You're unbelievable Sana," I said to her and rolled my eyes

"Because you're talking nonsense here Ji," she said to me and smiled

I sighed

"Whatever. Can I ask you a question? I have never been asked this to you before" I said to her,

"What is it?" I asked her

"Do you have a crush? Or someone you like? Because you never mention to me before, don't you trust me?" I said to her

Hoping she doesn't see someone, especially Mina

But when she said she doesn't have, I feel happy but I tried to hide it

And starting that day, I started to have a feeling towards my best friend

I don't know how to hide it, or should I confess? What if she doesn't feel the same way?

what if she won't like me?

and when we fought that night, that was the worst thing that happened to me,

I badly want to hang out with her because we all have been busy because of the requirement we need to pass

But she chooses to finalize her research, I was hurt that night and decided not to come at Bambam's invitation

I am laying on my bed, and the thought of we fought to keep on bugging me so I grab my hoodie to go to Sana's place to say sorry

"Good evening Mrs. Minatozaki" I greeted her parent

"Oh? Sana is not here, she said she will spend the night with Mina" Mrs. Minatozaki said

And right at that moment, I felt betrayed,

She doesn't want to hang out with me because she wanted to hang out with Mina?!

Fucked finalized my research

My ass huh?

I was mad that night but when Sana came first thing in the morning my anger easily vanished, and when she apologized it melted my heart.
