sat on the steps outside of the high school playing rock
paper scissors, to decide who would have to tell
TaeYeon that there was no winter formal that year.
"Rock paper, scissors." "Rock, paper, scissors,"
"Rock, paper scissors." "Aha! I win!" Junsu said
proudly. "Awww, oppa, how can I tell TaeYeon unni?
She'll be devastated." EunMi said. Junsu smiled at
her dramaticness. "Tough luck dongseng." He said, patting
her on the head, which she seriously dislikes. She pouted.
"Oppa!" She said. Junsu sighed. "Fine. I'll tell her."
He said. "Phew thanks oppa!" EunMi said and hugged
him. Junsu hugged her back and said "Mhmm." Then she
let go. Hankyung, who was walking along the sidewalk
towards school saw this. He was surprised, and then turned
away from them, starting to walk into the school.
EunMi saw him walking and called to him. "Hankyung oppa!"
She called. Hankyung looked up and waved, no smile,
then headed into the school building. EunMi looked
at Junsu, confused. Junsu just shrugged. They walked
into the school building after him. Junsu went to go
find TaeYeon to tell her the bad news about the formal,
while EunMi went to find her other friends and head to
class. She found HyeRin and JiJae and they walked to class
together. Soon first through fourth period classes
went by fast. AP Calculus, Physics, AP Literature, French
II, and then finally EunMi went to the girl's locker
room, changing into her gymanstics suit. She headed out
to the floor mat spread out on the gym as she waited
her turn. Soon it was her turn. "I'm Just a Girl" by
No Doubt. played, and she immediately launched into
a series of forward somersaults, then when she reached
the edge of the floormat on the other side, she reversed
her stance, and did backward somersaults, her legs
slicing throught the air quickly and almost effortlessly,
she was still bothered by Hankyung's expression that
morning, and put all her strength into her routine.
She lunged backwards powerfully each time, she did
a somersault. Finally she reached her starting point
on the floor mat, and she was standing in an upright,
position, with her hands straight up in the air. Her
coach and fellow team mates clapped. She gasped slightly
at the exertion she had from her routine. She looked
to her right and saw Hankyung looking at her. He didn't
even blink, then looked away, walking out the gym
to basketball practice. EunMi was really confused.
"Why is oppa like that today?" She wondered. She shrugged
and tried to go back to her floor routines.
EunMi's class ended and she went back into the girl's
locker room and changed. She would shower when she got
home. She was walking home alone, when the image of
Hankyung's expressionless face, came into her mind.
She shook her head, and continued her walk home, looking
around at the frost on the plants, the snow on the ground.
[Flashback]
EunMi balled up snow from the ground, and threw it
at Hankyung, hitting him square in the back. He turned
around surprised. EunMi just laughed. "Yah!" He jokingly
yelled and ran after her with a snowball of his own, while
EunMi tried to run away laughing. Hankyung caught up
with her, grabbing her by the arm, and smashed the
snowball into her hair. "Ahh, oppa!" She said, a little
sad that her hair was now wet. "Woops." He said, laughing
and ran away while she attacked him with another snowball,
this went on for about half an hour until they grew tired
and called a truce. Then Hankyung walked her home,
and they said their goodbyes.
[End of Flashback]
EunMi sighed. "Oppa, weh guhrae?" She said softly into
the wind, then soon arrived at her house. She went to
the front closet and removed her scarf, hat and coat,
and boots, then she went up the stairs, to her room.
She opened the door of her room, and layed down on
her bed.
A few hours later, she woke up after having fallen
asleep. EunMi rubbed her eyes, stretching and got up
off of her bed. She decided she needed to go for a
coffee run. She went downstairs and put on her coat,
scarf, gloves and boots again. Then she headed out
the door, walking down to the local coffee shop.
"Um, I'd like a tall mocha latte." She ordered then
she gave the cashier her money and the cashier handed her
the receipt and her change. EunMi went to sit down at one
of the empty tables when she saw Hankyung at another
table. "Hankyung oppa!" EunMi said cheerfully, as she
walked to his table. Hankyung looked at her surprised.
"hey." He said. "Oppa, is something wrong?" She asked
him. "No. Shouldn't you be with Junsu or something?"
He said. EunMi was surprised at his cold tone, and at
his question. "Boh? Junsu oppa? No why?" She said.
"Just forget it." He said. "But is there something
wrong oppa? Did I do something?" She asked him.
"No. What? Does everyone have to be all happy go
lucky all the time?!" He snapped. EunMi looked at
him, wide eyed and somewhat hurt. "No. But. I was
just concerned." She said softly then her tone changed.
"But, I guess you're fine right? Why should I care right?"
She said coldly, her eyes starting to water, she picked
up her order from the counter, and left the coffee
shop abruptly, the door swinging behind her.
Hankyung sighed, placing his hands on his head
his elbows on the table. "Mianhae." He said softly.
EunMi walked home, sadly. Why was Hankyung so cruel
all of a sudden, a few tears had fallen down her face
she wiped them away. Then she headed back into the house,
hoping no one would ask questions. EunMi stayed in her
room, the rest of the night, when her mom called her
down for her dinner, she said she wasn't hungry.
EunMi changed out of her outside clothes, taking a
warm shower first, then slipped into her sleeping
clothes, she soon fell asleep.
A few hours later at around 12 midnight, she woke
to the sound of tapping on her window. She ignored it
at first, but after the third time, she got annoyed and
got up to see what it was. She sleepily went over to
her window and opened the curtains slightly, she looked
down and thought she was hallucinating. EunMi rubbed her
eyes and looked out the window again. Hankyung was throwing
rocks at her window. But why? She thought. She opened her
window, and called down to him in a loud whisper.
"What?" She said coldly, cause she was still mad at him.
"Can you come down for a minute?" He asked her.
"Can it wait? I was sleeping!" She called back to him.
"Please?" He begged. "Aish. Fine." She said. She
put on her jacket, and slipped on slippers and quietly
went down the stairs, and out the front door.
She saw Hankyung standing there, waiting at the front
porch. "What?"She said again. He motioned for her to sit
down. She sat down on the front porch swing, while he
stayed standing. "EunMi, I'm really sorry I was
so harsh this afternoon, it's just that, well I was
just upset about you and Junsu. And, I just wanted to
tell you that, I.. I like you. And I'm thinking
that you probably can't accept my feelings, but I
just had to tell you." Hankyung confessed. EunMi looked
at him surprised. "You like me? Wait. Upset about Junsu?
Why? Oppa. Junsu and I aren't together. We're just friends.
He likes TaeYeon unnie. And I don't like him, I like..
you." She confessed. "What? Oh. Really?" Hankyung
said going from surprised, to realization, to disbelief
again. EunMi nodded. Hankyung smiled and walked up the
steps of the porch and sat down beside her, then hugged
her tightly. EunMi hugged him back warmly, happily.
After a few seconds they let go. Hankyung then looked
into her eyes, pushing a strand of hair away from her
face, then leaned in, kissing her softly. EunMi closed
her eyes as their lips met, and her heart beat rapidly.
