Eunjoo's POV

"I- What? I saved you?"

He smiled and nodded "It's hard to believe but yeah, you did. You were so funny back then. You kept telling them to leave me alone while holding a broom"

What? I don't remember anything. I just remember that I was the one being bullied. I can't even save myself, how am I going to save someone?

"Oh!" Kayden quickly picked up the pink paper "Does this mean we have to change partners with the the couple who also have pink paper?"

I nodded "Yup, that's how this game goes"

"Okay, shall I say everything now?" Kayden

"You should. I'm so curious"

He chuckled as we continued walking "So, starting from that day. I kept watching you at school. I admire how you kept unbothered by them. It was so fun. Also, I am always waiting for you to go home so no one will bother me. I kept following you from behind because I was so scared. But then, you were the first one to approached me. We becae friends, eating lunch, snacks and dinnr together. We always do our assignments in my house. My family knows you very well. We're like best friends but then, you said you and your family were going to states-"

"Then?"

"I begged you not to leave. I cried like a baby but I can't stop you. But one thing made me stop crying" he smiled and looked at the bracelet "You gave me that bracelet and said that one day we will meet each other. You promise that you won't have any friends except me. Also..."

I think I remember everything now but damn. Don't tell me he remembers the thing I last told him? No please.

"You said you'll marry me once we graduate from college" Kayden

He remembered.

"I s-said that? H-Hahahahahaha"

"Yup, you did. So, I was so happy to see you in Stay University. I can't believe you transferred. I thought you will remember me but you don't. I think it's because I changed so much. Still, I'm happy to finally see you again" Kayden

"A-Ah"

"A-About the marrying thing, uhm..." Kayden

"Kayden, I know I promised and I have to do it. The thing is we were too young back then. It was so easy for me to say such things suddenly without thinking. I'm sorry for that but damn. I-I like someone"

"You like someone?" he asked

I nodded "I am so crazy but at first I thought I was just like attached to him because he was too nice to me. As the days go by, I slowly realizing that I'm sure. I really like him"

"Is it Felix?" Kayden

"A-Are you g-going to be mad i-if I will say yes?"

He chuckled and hit my forehead "No, I will support you. Yup, I like you but that doesn't mean I'll stop you from being happy. You are my best friend and will always be my best friend. So, I'll hope for your happiness"

"Y-Ya! You're making me cry-"

"Crazy hahahaha. Anyway, shall we find the other paper?" Kayden asked

"You don't have to" a voice from behind said

We both looked back and saw Felix panting while holding a pink paper. Yara just arrived and is breathing heavily looks lime she ran.

"Felix?"

"Let's change partners" he told Kayden and pulled me

Kayden smiled and nodded "Sure"

"You can't just-" Yara

Felix quickly dragged me away from the two. We both started walking awkwardly. I badly want to win this game but I think Felix won't want to find the other paper. This is so awkward. Why?!!!!! I thought I'm brave for holding his hand! Gosh! Felix likes you. He won't-

"So, you chose Kayden instead of me? Wow" Felix rolled his eyes

"Thing is-"

"Stop with the reasons. You offended me-" Felix

"I wrote your name on the paper but I didn't know we will have problem because Kayden chose me. Also, I want to know something-"

"Want to know what?" Felix

"I saved Kayden from the bullies and promised to marry him when I gave this bracelet" I showed him the bracelet

"Ah, marry? Are you crazy? You can't just promise to marry someone. What now?!" he shouted and looked away

"Are you jealous?"

"M-Me? Jealous? No!" he rolled his eyes AGAIN

I held his hand "You don't have to be jealous"

At first he was hesitating to hold my hand but then, he even interlocked our fingers. So, Felix is so good with this kind of things?

"Whatever" Felix

"Hahahaha Kayden knows something you don't-"

"See?! He knows something that I don't. Oh fuck. I should've brought him to the prohibited place. He is so annoying" Felix

"Felix, you'll know it soon. You just have to wait"

He sighed and nodded "Just make sure or I'll really you throw you"

"Yes, boss"

"S-So, Naze bothered you earlier? You should've walked away once you saw him walking near you. Do you still like him?" Felix

"I'd rather not answer that question. I don't want to give you a hint"

"Fine, but I want to tell you something really important" Felix

"Sure"

We both stopped walking. He made me face him as he held both of my hands tightly.

"I may not be good at expressing my feelings" Felix

"And?"

"I'm not the perfect ideal type but I can promise you one thing" he smiled

"What is it?"

He hugged me tight "I won't hurt you like what yout ex boy friend did"
