I'm Yuri Hwang. I am in my first year of high school.
-How are you feeling?
"I cant wait for school. I can't wait to see Mina and Chaerin at school."
-Are you not going to wake up?
"Let me sleep a little more..."
-Are you sure? You're going to be late?
"Yes... L.A.T.E?...No! I need to meet Mina Chaerin at the subway station before we walk to school together!"
I immediately jumped out of my bed. Thank goodness. It's only 7.35a.m. '' WAIT SEVEN. THREE. FIVE.! I'M NOT EARLY "
First day of highschool, we need to be earlier for the assembly. AND and i need to meet Mina and Chaerin.
I held my breakfast in my mouth , slipped my feet into my shoes and tied my unbrushed hair into a ponytail.
If there is a god, please save me... I need to meet them at 7.45a.m. at the subway station.
____________________________________
I really wonder if there was really a god. I managed to make it in time.

Pants... I finally reached.... Im still early. 7.42am. They have not arrived!! I'm the earliest.
Paying no attention to others, I searched for the perfect pillar to wait for my friends. As I strolled towards 'my' pillar.... I saw someone
Strangly familiar.
He waved at me... and smile.... Do I know him?
I smiled politely and waved back. Who is he?
____________________________________
8.00am, we had assembly. The boy/guy who waved to me was getting ready to go on stage. It was then I realise who he was... As the emcee said '' Let's welcome our outstanding first-year student to give a speech.... ''
He was Wang Jae Yoon. My preschool classmate... Jae Yoon.
_________________
Flashbacks.... Ran like cinema tape.
He was someone I... Kissed, smooch and hugged in preschool. I don't remember why. But anyway.... It's very embarrassing and awkward. Hmm. He waved at me in the morning. Why?
I've heard his dad had to work in R City and hence JaeYoon had left... Why is he back?
Haven't seen him in a while, he still look as good... Maybe even better.
____________________________________
The day went by... After assembly we went to our class and got our timetable and class schedules. Thank goodness, we are only in one class together. I'm happy I didn't do super well for the entrance exam. Students like Jae Yoon has excellent results. They probably go to the first class. While a student like me will go to class B with almost all Bs except maybe 1 or 2 As or B+.... School ended pretty soon... Time flies when you are sleeping. I can't wait to go home!

The Next Day,
Why did you wake up so early? Its only 6.45.
"Well I think i should start waking up early..."
Are you excited to see Jae Yoon?
"No... (hides a smile) I can't wait for PE (physical education)"

At the subway station, I see him from a distance. Now even his silouetter lingers in my mind. I fished out my phone and pretended to text or read some articles. Basically avoiding any chances of eye contact as I made my way towards my pillar.
His pillar was right next to mind. Waiting for his friends too I guess. I stole a few glances from time to time. He caught me and waved at me.
It went on like this for the next few months.
And a weird thing is I've never been late...
____________________________________
One of the same mornings but I arrived later than Chaerin. She was already at our pillar, and I didn't get the chance to wave at him. I turned my back against him as I started to face Chaerin and talked to her about homework and etc. I felt a vibration in my phone. Someone sent a message:
(unknow number 82******19) : Hi
I took a look at the profile picture, it's Jaeyoon?
I turned my head back and look at him and stole a grin.
(Yuri) : Hi :)
(Jaeyoon) : Lol
I ended it there. I didnt know what to text back anyway. But how did he have my number? I didn't have a phone when I was in preschool.
____________________________________
It was another morning the same scenario...
It was slightly different then usual as I took the wrong train. Ended at the wrong station.
I took the bus to a stop near the school and walked to the subway.
From a further distance, I saw him. Leaning against the pillar next to the one I always stood by and looking in the direction of my subway exit. Am I thinking too much?
As I pass him, I waved at him. He was surprised. And for the first time. We had a conversation in real life after we graduated from preschool.
'' Don't you always come from there? "
Yes... But i took the bus today.
How does he know I always come from that train.... Maybe I'm thinking too much.

Classroom incident.
He is an A student, however he does not do well in language as City R has their own tongue.
It happened a few months back, a few weeks after we met? During our language class, the only class we have together. He did something.
'' Hey erm, can you move there. I want to sit here'' he asked the student who was sitting behind me.
I turned back and look. It was really noisy to write my essay. I could see that the classmate was reluctant to move. I could also see the corner of his lips moving up into a smile.
I suddenly had flashbacks of me kissing him in preschool. '' Yuri Hwang!!! Focus! FOCUS ! "
I thought I didnt need to bother about him but every now and then, he tapped on my shoulder to ask me questions. I was really getting annoyed... And also disturbed by the wild palpations rooting from my heart. What's this I'm feeling? What is he feeling?

School Term ends really quickly. It was Winter break in a blink of an eye. Seungmin and Dohwa had invited Mina and Chaerin if they wanted to hangout, they asked if I wanted to tag along since we originally had plans.
I really wanted to Study with them during the term break but Mina and Chaerin insisted on me going with them to the cinema.......
It wasn't that bad
____________________________________
He was there too... We went for lunch together, Mina talked to Seungmin and Chaerin talked to Dohwa. We were really awkward... The two of us. It ended up like a double date with two extra people - me and Jaeyoon.
____________________________________
Afterwards we went for a movie.
Genre-Horror
Are you scared?
"no"
Why did they choose horror?
"maybe they want to jump into each others arm?"
____________________________________
(Yuri) - 'Do you like horror movies?'
(Jaeyoon) - "No, you? "
(Yuri) - "Same."
- - - - - - - AWKWARD SILIENCE - - - - - - -
(Jaeyoon) - " Want to catch something else instead?"
(Yuri) - "Just the two of us?"
(Jaeyoon) - "Yes, just us..." he moves a step closer and whisper into my ear '' Like in the past "
My cheeks turned beetroot red. I looked away." sure "
____________________________________
NOW IT WAS REALLY LIKE A DATE... My heart raced faster than lightning.
In the darkness of the theatre, like in movies and dramas, we were sitting there trying to avoid each other fingertips. He took my drink and drank through my straw.
'' That's mine... 😳😅.. "
" It's alright... We did it before anyway, my drink, my lollipop, my cheeks, my li....'' His breathe right into my ear.
I blushed again, "Stop saying, I get it"
"Get what?" he pulls me in and gave me a peg on my lips... " This?"
I _ _ _ __ _ was shocked. I wanted to leave quickly....
He held my hand and pulled me down back to my seat.
(Jaeyoon) " Are you going to be irresponsible like 11 years ago?"
(Yuri) " I- I-..."
(Jaeyoon) " It's alright, I'll be responsible for you." He kisses me on my forehead while patting my head.
