My Heartstrings (c.b ff)

A/N: the boy in the picture is supposed to be jisung👍🏽☺️

Kang Sohyun's POV

I look up and see a really cute boy. "I- I'm so sorry, I was distracted."

I rush to get the words out. He helps me up.

"No worries, I was too." He says as he holds his phone up. I give a nervous laugh.

"Hey man! Let's go eat!" Someone yells to him.

I stay facing forward, not turning back.

"I have to go, I hope you have a nice day." He smiles and bows a bit.

I stand there for a second thinking about how cute he was.

Snap out of it SoHyun. He's just a normal boy.

I start walking out the door and call my mom to pick me up.

I watch my mom pull up to the front of the building and rush in.

"How do you think you did?" She frantically asks.

"Good, I hope. I feel like I would love it here, it's so cool" I say as I'm putting my seatbelt on.

Although school is only on the third class, I took the whole day off.

I was bored out of my mind! I had nothing to do.

My friends were busy with their classes, there's nothing to watch on tv anymore, and there's no good food in my house.

Trust me, I've checked about a couple hundred times in the last hour.

I lay there on my bed staring at the ceiling.

Can tomorrow come faster.

"Sohyun! Wait up!" I hear my friend calling me. I don't bother to turn around.

I'm a zombie in the morning.

He ends up catching up to me and when he's beside me he pats my head.

"How's my little SoHyun? Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" Jisung gasps after and says, "did my SoHyun not get the internship?" Continuing to talk with a pouty face.

"Oh shut up, my girls a whole package. Isn't that right SoHyun?" My friend, Yuna, nudges my arm, waiting for me to say something.

"How do you guys have so much energy in the morning? It seems so perfect that it's artificial."

"Honestly don't know, some people are morning people and others aren't." Yuna says with a big smile.

"I realized that." I still feel exhausted but my friends put me in such a good mood, I can't help but smile.

"What'd you do at the interview?" Yuna asks.

"The usual, signed in, talked to the CEO, GOT A TOUR!"

"Omg really?! Did you see the new rumored boy group?! I've seen pictures online. They seem cute, well they're wearing hats. And baggy clothing... and masks. But I can still tell."

She wasn't wrong. They're unbelievably cute.

I let her keep rambling on until we have to part ways because of our classes.

"So do you think you got it?" She asks with a gleam in her eyes.

"Well, I'm not too sure. I don't want to jinx it, ya know?" She nods at me in agreement.

"Imagine this: you fall in love with one and he falls in love back but you're love is forbidden so you can't be together. The perfect Romeo and Juliet story." Shes absolutely crazy.

"And that's all it will be. A story. What do you think this is? A romance book?" I laugh. The thought of that actually happening is funny.

"I'll see you at the corner store at lunchtime ok?" I tell Yuna "oh and invite jisung, he'll bother us about it until we die if we don't."

She gives a quick but strong nod and skips to her class.

I laugh at how different we are and yet how close we are as friends.

The bell rings at the end of class and all my classmates barge out the door.

I stay sitting because I don't want to get caught in THAT mess.

I'm a small girl, a proud 5'2

Once the swarm of people subsided, I walk out the door

Although i avoided the stampede at class there was absolutely no way I was getting through the crowd at the convenience store.

"Move it! Get out of the way! I'm coming through!"

Did he really just do that? I face palm myself. He's so embarrassing.

"Hey SoHyun, follow me." He gave me a look as if he was on a mission. He grabs my wrist and pulls me in and eventually out of the crowd. We make it inside of the store.

"And what about Yuna?!" I ask. Not knowing she was inside already.

He points behind me.

"Oh."

"Hey why don't we skip the rest of school huh?" Yuna wasn't the best student. She was incredibly smart, she just didn't like the thought of homework and tests was fair since many people cheat.

"I can't do that. I can't have a single scratch on my record."  I shove her shoulder.

"Oh come on, you're no fun." She pouts and give me puppy dog eyes. Ugh she knows I can't bare to see her like that.

"Fine, after we get our snacks we can go." She jumps up and down and gives me the tightest hug.

"This is why you're the best SoHyun." She gives me a smile.

After we pay for the snacks, Jisung, Yuna, and I sneak out of school.

We followed Yunas lead... and guess where we ended up. Heaven Entertainment.

"Come on Yuna, we're definitely not supposed to be here. I don't want them to see me here. I'm supposed to be at school right now."

"Have some fun SoHyun." I turn to Jisung begging him to come with me... away from the building. He accepts and we walk away from Yuna.

"She's gonna get me killed."

"It's her thing." He replies.
