sometime in 2022

like any usual day i sat at my desk waiting for the bell for the next class to ring, 7th grade was fun and all. but i didn't talk to anyone really. next class was physical health, god i dreaded that. no one plays with me, taking my bottle of water i followed everyone else in suit as our teacher ushered us to the hallway. a lanky brunette boy stood beside me talking to his friends and laughing.

if i were to remember correctly, his name was han jisung. i doubt he remembers mine, but that was non of my least concerns. sitting down at a bench i watched everyone play, until i felt a presence beside me. "hello, haewon was it" he smiled, i nodded awkwardly. "i'm jisung" he greeted with a happy tone to which i only mumbled a small 'i know'.

before i knew this boy was talking about random things, i could only listen and reply with relatable sentences. maybe he wasn't that bad, i had made myself a new friend. he offered to add me on discord to talk more, i happily agreed. it's not like i had many to talk to online except my best-friends, tsuki and arin.

little did i know this blossoming friendship would become something way more. jisung seemed the type of person that'd be fun to be around and i was definitely enjoying it. it felt nice to have someone new to learn about.

[time skip]

i was now in 9th grade, jisung was still my friend. we weren't as close but we still talked. it was lunch, i was having a hard time understanding my computer science lesson so i stood up from my desk and walked over to jisung's. "need help?" he asked, turning his attention from his friends to me. i nodded taking a seat.

his friends ooo'ed at us, but we didn't care and he helped me understand binary, denery and hexadecimals. "ahah! i got it now" i smiled, the previous confusion disappearing. the teacher supervising the class seemed equally as interested in our interactions. he continued to let me copy down some notes.

jisung was always a great help when it came to studies, i really enjoyed it. he'd always send notes and explanations if i ever needed, usually was there to explain maths whenever i felt like pulling hair. but all the signs and clear evidence had me falling for him. only to be rejected.

february 26th ; dinner party

i had been waiting for this day my whole life, yesterday i had graduated and today was my time to enjoy the party. dressed a purple dress i went to my best-friend in-soo's house like we had agreed. as my mom dropped me off, there was one singular thought.

'what if someone asks me out today' it was just a gut feeling and i really thought nothing much of it. my mom pulled up at the apartment complex, as i fished out my phone from the purse and called in-soo. "what haewon" her voice rang through, "come open the door" i spoke calmly. she hummed on the other end before hanging up.

few minutes pass she opens the door, as usual in her hoodie and jeans. oddly enough she had heels on too, i raised an eyebrow getting out of my mom's car. "what's the heels about" i ask as we walk to the elevator, she sassily did some dramatic hand gestures and tapped her feet. "had them on already so why not" i nodded, i too was wearing heels, not something i wore much.

reaching to her apartment level we walked down the hall and entered. i crouched as i struggled to take my heels off, "let me help" she crouched infront me and helped me. "hana is already here, her zip apparently broke while trying to put it on" in-soo chuckled, "it broke? last time i checked group yuna said she was struggling" i added laughing.
