love again

[2]

"hey, sooyoung."

"yes?"

"there's a guy in my class. and he sits right next to me."

"okay?"

"i don't know his name. maybe you know him?" yeri hoped.

"describe him."

"okay, well, he was really good looking. he had brown hair. it was cut in like-"

"a bowl cut?" joy questioned. yeri nodded.

"that's jeon jungkook." joy said.

"he's really quiet." yeri commented.

"yeah, well, he wasn't always like that." joy sighed.

"he wasn't?"

"no. he was always cheery and outgoing until an incident happened and he's never been the same." joy explained.

"oh, i see. is he okay?"

"i'm not sure. no one really talks to him anymore, so no one really knows what's going on."

"maybe i'll talk to him. if i have to sit next to him for the rest of the year, might as well become friendly with him."

"yeah, you do that, yeri. i think it'll be good for him."

"come on, let's go to lunch. i'll introduce you to the rest of my friends." joy said, pulling yeri along.

yeri pushed open the door to her classroom. she saw him, just sitting there, staring out the window. she sat in her seat, next to him. there were a few moments of awkward silence between them when she faced him.

"hi."

he didn't respond. he didn't even look at her.

"my name is yeri."

still no response. she pouted. she rested her head in her hands and looked at him.

"would you like to reply to me?"

he swiftly turned his head towards her and she froze. wow, he was gorgeous.

"no."

she wore a goofy grin. "well, you just did."

"only so you would shut up." he commented. yeri frowned.

"okay, so maybe you're not in the greatest of moods."

"no, i just don't really like talking to people at all."

"well, maybe we could change that." yeri smiles.

"we?"

"yes, we. i can help you. i mean, if you're going to be my seat neighbor, should we at least be friends?"

jungkook stared at the girl. he wasn't like anyone he's every met. no one bothered talking to him ever since he closed himself off. but this girl, she was reaching out to him and showing him kindness, something he hasn't seen for a while. he wasn't sure whether to trust her or not.

"i barely know you."

"exactly! i'm someone new, someone to change your way of life!" she smiled. he had to admit, her smile was pretty adorable. but then he thought of jieun.

"maybe i don't want to change." jungkook replied.

"well, not with that attitude." yeri sassed.

"come on, i'm sure deep down inside, you don't want to be so alone all the time. what could you possibly be scared of?"

he couldn't deal with another heartbreak. he didn't want to go through that again. where he lost his loved one. he couldn't. he was scared to love again.

"let's start over. hi, my name is kim yerim." she smiled, holding out her hand. he stared at it reluctantly. he look up at her eyes and he could see the hope in her eyes. he sighed.

reaching out to her hand, he shook it.

"jeon jungkook."
