And...

Now.

"KIM MINJI! WAKE
THE FUCK UP!"

I screamed so loud that the other classrooms heard the commotion and went out to check what was going on. I could see Bora mouth "What the fuck" but I just smiled at her with a nod to show her that I knew what I was doing.

Minji woke up instantly and looked at me in absolute shock. Everyone's eyes were on me. But this time, I didn't feel scared of those looks. I wasn't nervous about what the others might think of me after this. I didn't care if I looked unordinary. I didn't want to run away nor hide from them. Quite the opposite actually.

I wanted to be seen for the real me. The Kim Yoohyeon who curses a lot, who hates school sometimes, who eats like a maniac at home, who plays the guitar, who cries and laughs... and the Kim Yoohyeon who can be friends with whoever she wants to and chose to be one with Kim Minji.

I saw Minji's expression turn into an elated one. She was happy but she tried to hide it. I honestly liked it when she was happy, her smile was so pretty.

I stared into her eyes and she started at mine, smiling... It was that smile, but even brighter than before. She got up from her chair and ran to me..

She hugged me again.

This time, I wanted people to know that I'm friends with a person named Kim Minji. I didn't hesitate a moment and hugged her back. I heard comments such as "No way Yoohyeon is talking to her", "How are these two close", "I bet Minji did something to get close to her" and "She's so disgusting, why Minji of all people", but I didn't care.

"*whisper* Don't listen to them.. I'm proud of you Yoohyeon.."

I heard Minji whisper in my ear and I swear I almost melted. "She was proud of me?" That was one of the nicest things anyone could say to me that I almost started crying that moment. I pulled out the hug and started into her eyes.. then her nose.. her lips... then I moved back to her eyes while shaking my head. That was weird.. I looked around and thought of an idea that 'past' me would've beaten me up for it.

"Should we get out of here?"

"Thought you would never ask!"

Minji didn't even wait a moment and pulled me by my hand and we ran off towards the exit, not caring about the others. We went to the parking lot and she took me towards her... motorbike!?!?

"Y-You ride a motorbike!?"

"Of course! I don't have that 'hot delinquent' image without a reason after all."

She got on the bike and I would definitely lie if I say she didn't look great right now, she had that 'bad but hot' student image- Yoohyeon. Get your shit together. I mentally slapped myself and got brought back to reality when she called my name. She grabbed a helmet and handed it to me. It definitely looked.. questionable.

"Really? A Hello kitty helmet?"

"What? It's cute, put it on."

I sighed and got on the bike behind her. I put the helmet on and hugged her waist, holding on for dear life.

"Yoohyeon, I didn't even start the bike yet."

"Oh.."

I let loose a bit but she grabbed my hands and hugged herself with them again.

"That doesn't mean you shouldn't hold on tight."

I was so glad she couldn't see me this moment because I totally looked like a tomato. She giggled and roared her engine just to show off. I gently kicked her foot because of that. What a brat... I liked it.

"Where should I take you, Ms. Kim Yoohyeon?"

"Hmm, how about the beach, Madame Kim Minji?"

"Your wish is my command!"
