24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in a hour. That give us 1440 minutes in 24 hours.
1440 minutes.
If I could, I would spend those 1440 minutes with him.
Every hours, every minutes, every seconds.(I'll be F you right;)
Everything.
With him.
Nishimura Riki.
Ni-ki
The only love of my life.
I fell in love with him at first sight.
It all started the first day of school.
that day, I missed my bus.
i had to take the last seat available at the front, because of course, my best friend Sunghoon took the last seat at the back.
Typical Sunghoon, if it meant he didn't have to stay awake all day, he didn't care if he was sitting next to me or not.
that's when I met him.
Ni-ki ended up being my seat mate for the year.
...
Present;
"Are you still daydreaming about Nishimura?" Sunghoon said.
"maybe.." i responded still looking out the window where I could see Ni-ki playing baseball with his friends.
"stop looking out the window and eat" Jay said waving his hand in front of my face.
Me and Jay have been friends since as long as I can remember. Our parents are best friends so we basically grew up together.
"you know she wouldn't be like that if you kept her a sit in the back with you Sunghoon?"
"it'f nof my faulf, she'f fhe one fho fas lafe on her firf fay." Sunghoon replied not bothering to finish the bite he just took before speaking.
"gross." I said before looking at my phone
"shit! I'm late!" I realized packing my things as fast as I could
"I need to go."
"but, you didn't eat anything." Jay said
"I'll eat later, I really have to go."
"eat this at least." he added throwing me the apple he had in his bag.
"thanks" I took a big bite of the apple he just threw me and left.
while I was running to the thing I was late to, I bumped into someone.
"sorr-" I started apologizing before seeing who it was.
"you."
"Me." he said pointing at himself.
"I don't have time for this." I started to walk again but he stopped me.
"Where are you going?" he ask
"none of your business." ignored him and kept walking.
"wait Sun-Hee" he took my hand stopping me again.
"Jiung I really don't have time for this."
"but-" he started to say but I stopped him.
"if it's Intak who's sending you it's no use."
"it's not tha-" I cut him again seeing my coach glaring at me from the end of the hallway.
"shit.." I looked at my coach then at Jiung's hand who's still holding my wrist.
"let me go."I asked, so he did and I ran to my coach apologizing for being late even thought I know I was still in deep shit.
...
After practice;
" I'm so tired.." My coach decided to make me do one more hour of practice for being late.
Obliviously.
"Ugh.. and I still have to get my stuff from my locker." I said while literally dragging my ass across the school.
And yes I am talking to myself out loud in the middle of school.
It's so late there is no one at this hour anyway.
Except maybe the janitor but who cares.
"My beautiful locker.." I said sarcastically arriving in front of it.
opening my locker a paper fell from it.
"oh! what's this?" I picked it up to take a look at it .
MEET ME ON THE ROOFTOP,
FRIDAY AT LUNCH.
The next day;
"so you're telling me that you got a note telling you to go to the rooftop at lunch today?" Sunghoon asked clearly not believing any word who came out of my mouth.
"I'm telling you this is real!"
"what's real?" Jay asked taking a seat next to us
"The note she wrote herself." Sunghoon said sliding the note toward Jay.
"I DIDN'T WROTE IT MYSELF"
"You're not going right?" Jay asked after reading the note.
I stayed silence writing in my book.
"Kim Sun-Hee you are not going there!"
"Why not?"
"WHY NOT? Bro it could be like Intak and his friends who want to prank you again. You know damn well that he hates you since you won first place in last year dance competition."
"or it could be Ni-Ki.." I quietly said.
"And you are not my dad." i added louder this time.
"seriously, do whatever you want you little brat." He answered ruffling my hair with a smile.
At Lunch;
" why am I so nervous?"
I'm in front of the access door of the rooftop and I'm so nervous.
i dreamed about this moment all day, Ni-Ki waiting for me there with flowers asking me out on a date. I was so exited but now that I'm here I feel like I could throw up. I heart is beating so much It could jump out.
"you can do it" I take a big breath and open the door.
I take a step than a second, I look around and I see no one..
"is this a joke." I turn around not wanting to spend my lunch waiting here.
"You came." I voice said
but I recognize that voice and it wasn't Ni-Ki.
"Theo?"
"yeah , that's me."
"I wanted to tell you that I like you, Kim Sun-Hee."
"Listen if this is some prank that Intak asked you to do this is not fun-" he cut me holding both of my hands looking in my eyes.
"This is not a prank, I really like you." he told me he liked me twice by now and I didn't know what to think anymore.
"I'm sorry Theo i-" he cut me again
" Don't! Don't reject me yet, promise me to think about it before. At less before the end of the day."
"ok"
In class;
"so what happened?" Sunghoon
"Go back to your seat, I'll tell you later. Class start in a minute.
"Pwease.." Sunghoon said poking my arm with a cute voice.
i cringed " OK.OK but never do that again." I whisper yelled.
"Theo confessed to me." I whispered in his ear.
"THEO CONFESSED TO Y-"
"shhh." I placed my hand on his mouth shutting him up.
"Are you crazy!" I looked around to see if people heard us and yes there's a lot of people looking at us.
"shi-" The teacher came in and everyone ruined back to their seat.
"so let's start class" the teacher announced walking to his desk.
BAM!
Someone hit there desk with both hands standing up and getting out of class.
"Choi Jiung go back to your seat!" the teacher said but he left the class anyway.
What's wrong with him today.
End of class;
I had to find Theo. I needed to tell him I couldn't accept his feeling.
When I found him, he was walking toward the exit.
"THE-" I was pulled from the hallway into classroom by someone.
"WTF" I said but the person put their hand on my mouth
"shhh" I took there hand of my mouth and
" what do you mean shhh you just kidnapped me-! Jiung?"
"what are you, why?" I asked really confused as why he pulled me here
than I remembered what happened in class earlier
" wait are you ok, you seemed upset earlier?"
" Are you worried?" he said suddenly smiling making me shy. that's when I realized how close we were making me way more shy. as I got away, he tried to take I look at my face smiling more than ever.
he has a pretty smile.
wait, what am I thinking, this is Jiung, my enemy's best friend. PUT YOURSELF TOGETHER SUN-HEE!
"Are you blushing?" Jiung asked still smiling so brightly.
"I'm not!" I said hiding my face with my hands. was I really blushing ?
"Than why are you hiding?"
"Why did you pull me here?" I replied dodging the question.
"Nothing, see you tomorrow." he said has he open the door waving at me.
i waved back totally flabbergasted by what just happened.
Did he just-
Monday morning at school;
I couldn't sleep for the whole weekend..
Me the person who love sleeping more than everything.
All this because of Jiung, really?
Our last interaction left me in the need of answers.
Why did he pulled me here?
Why was he upset earlier in class?
Why did my heart beat so fast when he smiled at me ?
Why?
"Hey earth's calling Sun-Hee, wake up." Jay waved his hand in front of my face.
"Are you still day dreaming about Nishimura?" Sunghoon asked.
"No actually, I wasn't" I really wasn't. all weekend.
I didn't think about Ni-Ki a single minute since my last encounter with Jiung Friday.
"You don't?" Sunghoon asked almost worriedly.
"No."
"are you thinking about Theo?" Jay asked
"shit Theo!" i forgot about him too
"I'll tell you guys later I have to talk to him." I said rushing out of my seat
I felt so bad forgetting about Theo.
"Theo!" I said running out toward him and his friends.
"YO it's you girl!" Intak said.
"I don't have time for you." I said glaring at him.
Taking Theo's hand I dragged him toward the rooftop making eye contact with Jiung in the process.
He looked almost.. sad?
When we arrived I let go of Theo's hand turning around.
"what did you have to tell me?" he said smiling at me
I felt bad for what I had to do
"I'm sorry Theo, I don't feel the same way."
"it's okay, I kind of expected it really." Theo said putting on a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes.
At lunch;
"So Theo confessed to you, you rejected him and on top of that you had that weird moment with Jiung? You also said that he looked sad when you saw him earlier ?" Jay asked
"hmm" i responded nodding my head.
"Bullshit!" Sunghoon said
" YOU can NOT pull two guys in the span of a week, that's impossible." He added.
"First of, it's one guys and second of, Yes I can"
" From what I heard Jiung as feeling for you too." Jay added.
"He does not!" does he?
"He sure does,1. he was upset when he heard the Theo confessed to you. 2.you had that weird meeting where he keep smiling at you and teasing you. 3. he was sad when you hold Theo's hand. 4.Do you want me to keep going ?" Jay listed raising a finger every time he added something.
...
I didn't know what to think about it, was it true?
Did Jiung had feelings for me?
Do I also have feeling for him?
End of classes;
I'm not someone who likes to listen at doors, I just happened to be passing by and heard them talking nothing else.
"Why did you do it?" Jiung asked really angrily
shit should I leave, I think I should be here
"Because, I was tired of waiting for her to notice one of us!" Theo answered
Maybe not..
"So you confess to her without telling me !?"
"I had to or you wouldn't have left me do it!"
"Theo, we agreed that if one of us confessed to her we would tell each other first!"
"Yeah.."
"So why did I learned by Sunghoon screaming in class that YOU had confessed to her already WITHOUT TELLING ME ."
"I'm sorry man I fucked up ok?"
"but listen she rejected me so you got all your chance now."
"She-She rejected you?"
"Yeah she-"
"yes I did.." I cut Theo entering the class where they were talking.
"Before you ask, I wasn't eavesdropping I was ONLY passing by." I added
" I think I'll let you two talk it out." Theo said winking at Jiung.
"You guys have a great friendship." I said really awkwardly.
"so, I-"
" I like you !" Jiung suddenly said closing his eyes real tight what made him look real cute.
i giggled.
he slowly open his eyes looking at me
" I like you too idiot." I said walking toward him and suddenly
we kissed.
THE END.
