"Nothing." I said, pretending to smile. He look at me as if he doesn't believe my words. "Really." I said. "Make sure you are." He warn me.
I smile at him as I look at his side profile.
I have a crush on him ever since I first met him. My eyes landed at him since his hair colour was unlike the rest whose hair colour was bright, his was dark brown. Both ears was fill with ear rings.
When Ms Park ask me to sit beside Jaebum, my heart were beating really fast when I was approaching to my assigned seat.
That moment I knew, I had a crush on him.
I will remember the first conversation we had. It was silly but memorable.
I smile at my partner who was looking at me while I was approaching to my seat. He smile at me before looking back at his book.
Silence were in the air, no one talked so I thought he was a quiet person. I was about to befriend with him by talking to him but he started the conversation between us.
"Do you like to eat chicken?"
"What?" I was shocked by his question.
"Do you like to eat chicken?" He repeat his question.
"Yes, I do. In fact I love it a lot." I said. I love chicken related dishes, those are my favorites.
"Then we are friends."
Small smile appear on my face. Thinking back of our first encounter was silly since he ask me do I like to eat chicken.
But, I wonder why is he reading 'how to get your crush to like you?'

"You better tell me what's wrong with you. Today, you aren't yourself." Jaebum tell me to spill out what's wrong with me.
"Nothing." I said, poking my food with my chopsticks.
"Yeah, then you won't be playing with your food." He said. I look at him, debating whether I should tell him a not.
"You can always tell me. I will always be there for you." He said, reassuring me.
"Okay, I will tell you. My parents set me up to get married to a stranger whose parents were a best friend of my parents. After I turn 20, I will be getting married with him." I said, looking at his expression.
He was sad but he didn't show it. "Congratulates."
"When will you be meeting him?" He ask, I could heard sadness in his tone. "In two days time." I answered, tears threatening to fall but I held it.
"I can't be with you on that day. I have something important to do." He mumble.
"It's okay."
He smile at me which I return back, "then I wish you happiness."
Two days later,

Andrea was already done preparing herself. She wore a dress that was baby blue in colour, matches with a white shoes. She let down her hair and wore a matching necklace with her dress.
"You looked beautiful." Her mother praise her. She smiled at her before entering the car.
On the way to meet her husband-to-be, she was awfully quiet. She texted Jaebum but he didn't reply to her.
"Let's go, dear."
Andrea walk to the restaurant with her mother by her side.
"Let's go in, the other family is here." Her father said, giving his daughter a small smile.
She went in, palms were sweating, signalling to herself that she was nervous. She spotted a couple and a familiar back which seem like she always see it but couldn't remember it.
The couple introduce themselves as Mrs Im and Mr Im. Andrea smile, "this is our son, im jaebum."
The boy stood up and turn around so he could meet the girl who he will be marrying in two year time. His eyes widen as he saw Andrea standing in front of him with eyes widening as well.
"This is Andrea." Her mother introduce her daughter.
"We will give you some time alone to know each other more." Mrs im said and left the both of them alone.
"Actually I like you for a long time. Ever since you step in the class, I was already attracted to you. I believe that was love at first sight." He suddenly confessed.
"I do too." She shyly said.
"So, I guess we will be a married couple soon?" He tease as he hug her waist.
"Then, I can't wait to get married to someone I love the most that is you." He said, leaving a kiss on your forehead.
