Grad Ball is coming up soon and I'm excited because I plan to ask Jungha to be my girlfriend. We both like each other but we were never official so it's time to ask her, but first, I should ask her to be my date for the ball.
I went to her classroom after the school bell rung. I always walk her home after school and today is no exception. All of her friends started giggling when they saw me waiting outside the room. I've always been a gentleman towards her and sometimes it makes it hard for me to show her other parts of me that she might find ugly.
I leaned on the wall beside their classroom door, watching her gather all her things. I feel lucky that she likes me. She's really popular in our school because of her small beautiful face, voice and above all, her kindness.
She went out of their room and walked to her locker, I followed her. Her long shiny hair reminds me of Eunha so much, that's why I felt at ease the first time I met her. The way it fell on her shoulders is almost as perfect as Eunha's.
The sound of metal banging made me pushed back my thoughts. Jungha finished taking her things inside her locker.
"Let's go?" She smiled and hooked her arms with me. I nodded and I walked her home.
Jungha's house is ten minutes away from school on foot. I always enjoy my walk with her, she's been a really great friend to me ever since I was new to our school. She told me everything I needed to know about the school and the people in it. She helped me adjust to the new environment, she knew how I feel because she also used to live in Seoul when she was younger and then transferred here in Jeju.
We learned a lot from each other, and through that, she developed feelings for me. At first I don't know what to say because I know it took a great amount of courage for a girl to confess her feelings. I don't want to lose her as a friend so I didn't avoid her, and I'm happy that even though I couldn't give back what she feels for me, she remained a good friend to me. I admired her for that, and as time goes by, I started liking her too.
"Will you go to the ball with me?" I asked her when we arrived in front of her house.
She didn't say anything, she just smiled at me. Then I felt her soft lips on my cheeks before she ran inside their house. I was flustered. That means it's a yes right?
I walked to the bus stop to get home. My grandfather's house is somehow isolated to the whole island but I love it, I get to see the blue ocean everyday when I wake up.
When I arrived at home, I can already smell the delicious food that my mom is cooking. I went to the kitchen and greeted her.
"That looks delicious mom." I kissed her on the cheeks which reminds me again of what Jungha did to me awhile ago.
"Why are you smiling like that?" She teased.
"Nothing! I'm just excited to eat." I said avoiding her eyes.
I quickly ran to my room before mom ask me something embarrassing.
I went to the bathroom to wash up after a long day at school. I looked at myself in the mirror and traced where Jungha kissed me. I can already imagine myself picking her up for the ball, me wearing a white suit and her, wearing a beautiful red dress.
I was still smiling at the thought of Jungha and me going together, but my smile slowly disappear when I saw that bunny toy again.
"I'm really sorry Eunha." I said in a weak voice.
I feel angry at myself, I couldn't go with her because I had a flu and it looks like I won't make it to the prom tomorrow.
"It's okay. There's still next year." She gave me a weak smile.
"But you already bought a dress, and I know you really want to go. You've been anticipating for this for months." I argued with her.
"I won't go there without you, you know that. Besides, I can't imagine myself having fun when you're here sick in bed." She's sitting on my bed, running her finger through my hair.
"I promise I'll take you to the Grad ball next year." I held her hand and kissed it.
"Don't you dare break that promise Jeon Jungkook! I'll kill you myself if you do." She pointed at me then laughed.
I took the toy and looked at it.
I'm happy whenever I'm with Jungha. But at the end of the day, it's still Eunha who I long for and I hate myself or it. I keep my thoughts to myself but I can't help but compare Jungha with her, and I know Jungha feels is too.
--------------
I guess I'll be updating this more often now that I'm only at home resting. There's only two chapters left before Eunha and Jungkook meet each other again!!! I'm excited!
ps: everything that's italic is either their thoughts, dream or flashback.
Stay cute bunnies!
