A lone girl could be seen walking through a neighborhood early in the morning, as she could be seen rubbing her eyes as though she was in a dire need of a sleep.
Unbeknownst to her a boy is sneakily walking towards her, masking his step so that she wouldn’t hear him approaching. As he’s coming closer, his grin is getting bigger as a devious plan is forming in his mind. Then the distance was an arm’s reach between her and him.
“Boo!” Shouted the boy in the girl’s ear while he’s grabbing her shoulder.
“Kya!” The girl scream as her face is turning white due to the shock, then she turns her head to the back while looking angry to whoever did that to her.
“Yah Shin Y/N!” She said angrily to the boy who is now laughing his ass of to the reaction of the girl”
“Oh my, I swear you’re reaction always gets me” the boy who is Y/N said in between his laugh.
“Yah why are you still laughing?! It’s not funny!” she said while repeatedly punching Y/N shoulders.
“Alright alright, I’m sorry Minji” He said while trying, despite futile to contain Minji’s wrath.
“You always do that Y/N, you’re so mean” She said with a pout, now already a little bit calm as she’s seen not punching Y/N anymore.
Y/N while holding Minji hand said “I’m sorry minji please?” He said with the most pleading look he can muster, then he added “I’ll treat you later to ice cream as an apology okay?”
Minji stature could be seen softening with the mention of ice cream, but truth be told she is a girl of pride so she wouldn’t let him off the hook that easily.
“No! You always do that, I’m not forgiving you now” she said while pulling her arms off him and pouting.
Seeing this Y/N is trying his hardest to not laugh at how adorable Minji looks while sulking. So he sling his arms over her shoulder and try to sweet talk her.
“Come on Minji, pretty please? I’ll even give you the double scoop with extra sprinkles on top” He offered to the now slightly smiling Minji “What do you say? that’s a pretty good offer I might say” He added.
Now Minji really couldn’t hold her smile as she’s flipping her hair as to not be seen happy with Y/N offer, “Alright then it’s a deal, but please don’t do that again it scares me” She said while pouting at Y/N who’s now smiling really big at Minji.
Y/N patted her head and said “l’l not do that again, okay?” he smilingly said to Minji who can only be grumpy.
“You better, or else-” She cutely threatens
Y/N could only chuckle at her, “Alright miss grumpy, let’s head to school shall we? it’s getting late” he said and started to walk with his arm around her shoulder.
“Alright let’s go Y/N-nie” she said with a small smile.
Along the road, the both of them could be seen laughing and joking with each other. Of course that would be the case because Y/N and Minji are childhood friends. They first met when Y/N moved to there because of his father job. Being the good person Y/N parents is, they gave presents to their neighbors as sign of good will. while visiting the Kim’s a little girl is seen hiding between her parents leg, they thought to themselves that it would be a good idea for both child to befriend each other so that they could play with someone of their age. So that’s the beginning of a long and beautiful friendship of Shin Y/N and Kim Minji, spanning all the way from Elementary to now in their third year of High School.
Both Y/N and Minji could be seen nearing the school gates, and something caught Y/N’s attention
“Ne Minji, I’ve just remembered something” Said Y/N.
“What is it?” She replied
“You look very tired this morning” he paused to think a bit “Don’t tell me you stay up all night again do you?” He asked with a scrutinizing look towards Minji.
Hearing this Minji look sheepishly as if she’s a deer caught in the highlights, “Well I didn’t stayed up all night” she started to answer “It’s just, you know, I didn’t realize the time and next thing you know it’s already 3 o’clock”
Hearing her explanation Y/N could only put on a disapproving face, because this is not the first time that Minji have done this.
“I told you many times Minji-ah, staying up late is not good for your health” Y/N said.
“I know I know Y/N-nie, you’ve told that many times to me” Minji said whilst looking a bit annoyed “You don’t have to repeat it many times”.
“But I’m being serious here Minji-ah, it really is not-” Y/N try to say before being cut by Minji.
“Yeah yeah I know” she said with a huff “Why did you have to be so annoying in the morning”
Y/N is quite baffled hearing that sentence coming out of Minji, but fortunately he didn’t show it to her, instead he forces a little smile.
“You know that I’m just concerned for you Minji” He said.
“Well I don’t need you to always lecture me Y/N” Minji said.
At this point the both of them had already reach their lockers to put their bags. While picking up the necessary things for the lesson ahead, Y/N is speechless at what Minji is saying.
“Minji, I didn’t mean to…” He tried to say before once again got cut by Minji.
“Yeah yeah whatever, see you at lunch” Minji said and immediately leave Y/N standing there with a blank look on his face”
“Never once in our time together she looks this annoyed at me, but this has been happening for quite some times. I was only looking out for her, but why did she looks as if I’m only a nuisance to her? Where did I go wrong?” Y/N thought to himself, staring blankly at his opened lockers.
Deep in thoughts he didn’t realize that his best friend has been calling out to him for quite a while, until he tapped Y/N’s shoulder that finally got him out of that trance.
“Hmm, oh Mark! When did you get here” ask a startled Y/N.
“If you hadn’t been staring off into space and looking all gloomy, you’d noticed that I’ve been calling you since a while” Mark answered with a fold of his arm.
Y/N didn’t notice that he was that deeply in thoughts so he said “My bad Mark, sorry for ignoring you”.
“No problem dude, but tell me what’s bothering you” He replied “It’s not normal for you to be like this so early in the morning”.
“Nothing bro, something just crossed my mind” Y/N answered with a half smile “It’s getting late, let’s hurry to class before Ms. Park chewed at us again”.
“You’re right, let’s go” Mark said and the both of them started to walk towards their class.
Truth be told Mark really wanted to know what was bothering Y/N, but he already have a hunch of it. Y/N didn’t notice but he was close when Minji is getting angry at Y/N, and he have been noticing that her behavior have little by little change towards Y/N. No more is the Minji that always sticks to Y/N side practically all the time, replace by the one that is somehow always snappy and snarky at what everything Y/N’s said. He didn’t know the cause of it, but if this continues to keep going on Y/N’s will be hurt, and he didn’t like seeing his best friend being hurt.
Especially if the one causing it is his childhood best friend.
_____________________________
Sunlight beamed through the classroom as an alarm is ringing throughout the school, indicating that it’s already lunchtime.
Y/N and Mark is already picking up their stuff and getting ready to grab a meal. The both of them and along with Minji group of friends usually eat their lunch at the school’s rooftop.
“Hanni-unnie stop teasing me~” Said Haerin to Hanni who is now laughing because of Haerin’s sulking.
“You’re so cute you know that Haerin-ah” Danielle expressed to Haerin and she could only glare at her.
“Why are you doing this to me~, Hyein’s the youngest so tease her” Haerin said
Hyein laughed hearing what her Haerin-unnie said “Don’t bring me in to this Unnie” she said.
Haerin could only sulk even more after what Hyein said, and everyone is gushed at her behavior.
“Alright everyone chill out, before someone started blasting rice out of their nose from laughing too hard” Y/N said trying to save everyone from dying due to laughing.
“Oppa I knew I could count on you” Haerin said with glimmering eyes towards her savior.
“But~ you really are cute when you’re like that Haerin-ah” being the hypocrite he is, what Y/N said contradicts his earlier statement and for sure everyone is in need of air from laughing again.
“Yah Oppa I thought you had my back” Haerin lunched at Y/N and started to punch his arm.
“Sorry Haerin-ah, couldn’t waste the opportunity” Y/N sheepishly said to Haerin.
“Alright alright Haerin-ah you’re gonna tear the poor’s man off” Mark said and pulled Haerin away from Y/N.
After that fiasco, they started eating and talking to each other. Mainly about their day and how boring class is.
“Speaking of boring class will never end, so let’s talk about something fun!” Minji excitedly said to change the topic.
“What is it Minji-unnie?” asked Hyein
“As you all probably know, Jimin is hosting a party-” She started to elaborate “And guess what? He invited us!”
Minji looks very excited talking about the incoming party, but everyone is looking at each other worriedly. Everybody in this school know that Jimin’s party is wild, to the point that it became a juvenile delinquency. Mostly people that came to his party are individual that didn’t care at all about their academics and future. They’re here for a fun time not a long time is what they said.
That’s why everyone is worried that Minji is planning to attend the party. Y/N being the ever caring friend he is decided to intervene.
“Umm Minji-ah… do you really want to go to his party?” questioned Y/N.
“Of course! absolutely I’ll come. It’s gonna be so fun!” She answered.
“Hate to be that guy Minji-ah, but didn’t you know that the last time Jimin threw a party cops swarmed his house?” Y/N said.
Minji facial expression in an instant change when she heard it, and she said “Why do you have to be a party pooper Y/N, it’s a party of course it’s gonna be wild” she said with a frown.
“But it’s different Minji-ah” Y/N tried to persuade her “I know what a party looks like, his party is too much for a teenager like us”
“Maybe the party you know is lame Y/N, or maybe you are the one who is lame” Minji is now visibly getting angry at Y/N.
“That’s not it Minji-ah, what would your parents say when they have to bailed you out of jail?” Y/N said.
By now everybody is watching anxiously the back and forth between Minji and Y/N. Things are getting tense.
“There’s no such thing Y/N, you’re making things up. Besides why do you care? it’s my life not yours” she snapped at Y/N.
“I’m your friend Minji-ah, of course I’ll look out for you” Y/N replied, slowly getting hurt at Minji behavior.
Deep inside Minji knew this very well, but her pride and ego wouldn’t let him be right, so she looked away and said “I don’t care about all of that!” she said and mumbles loud enough “Why am I even friends with you in the first place”.
Y/N was shocked hearing this, there’s definitely something he did wrong for Minji to said that. They are childhood friends, and Y/N even wanted that to be something more with her. But hearing this was something that breaks Y/N’s heart. To the point that he couldn’t form words and could only stare blankly at her.
The girls notices this and decided to say something to ease the tension around them.
“It’s fine Oppa, we’ll accompany her” said Danielle.
“We’ll make sure she’s fine and out of trouble” Haerin added.
Y/N just forms a small smile and nods a little.
The atmosphere around them is awkward now, with Minji refusing to look at Y/N, and Y/N just stares blankly at his food.
“By the way Y/N-nie, what did you wanted to say the other day?”
“Hmm…. Oh it’s you know” he said with a stutter “Remember what I was planning to buy with my savings?”
“Oh oh I know!” Hyein said ” You’re gonna buy a motorcycle right Oppa?”
“Yup, so I kinda, you know…” he scratched his hair “Already bought it”
Everyone screamed at what Y/N said “Wow Oppa that’s amazing!” Danielle said
“Yeah that’s so cool Y/N-nie” Hanni continues.
“It’s nothing guys really, it’s just an old bike nothing special” Y/N is flattered at the others reaction.
“Nah bro that’s even more cool, you’ll be like a 90’s guys in that old movie we watched” Mark said “Man I’m jealous of you” he finished.
“Jealous? What’s with that?” Y/N asked.
“Now the girls will be more attracted to you Y/N-ah, leave some for plain old me bro” Mark is sulking now.
Y/N laughed at what his best friend said “Nonsense Mark, you’re the ace in our basketball team. You’re the one that’s attracted some girls for sure, I’ve seen the way they look at you when we practice man”.
“Well me too Y/N-ah, they was practically ogling at you during practice” the duo bickered with each other.
Minji who’s been quiet for some time feels something aching in her heart, she didn’t like the sound of that. So she said the first thing that came into her mind.
“There’s no way a girl could like someone as lame as Y/N” She said that, once again shocking everyone, “Getting a new, or could I say old motorcycle doesn’t make him cool”
Everyone is silent at her words, but Y/N is confused and hurt at the same time. His face is pale and mouth opened.
Mark who is fed up by what she said earlier and now looks angry and said “Yah! What do you-” He started to say before Y/N suddenly stands up.
“I’m full” he said with a blank face “I’ll be going now everyone, see you later” he turns around and walked to the stairs.
Seeing this everyone is baffled at Y/N action, more so Minji because she knew that she had crossed the line.
After Y/N had completely gone out of sight Mark turn towards Minji and said “The hell is wrong with you Minji” He glared at her before standing up to catch up to Y/N.
Minji looks down at her thighs and curls her fist, while the others didn’t know what to do. After that they all eat in silence and once the bell rung they get back to class.
_____________________________
The next day we could see Minji once again walking to school, but this time no one is there to greet her and accompanying her walk.
As she’s walking she could hear the sound of motorcycle approaching, when she looks back the motorcycle passed her.
“That must be Y/N, so he’s ignoring me now then” She thought to herself “I know what he said was right, I’ve been thinking about it all night and maybe coming to that party is a bad Idea”
Minji is now already at the school’s gate and is walking to the building. Noticing something she looks at the direction of the parking lot and see the motorcycle earlier was getting parked.
“I have made Y/N’s mad at me, I should probably apalogize to him soon” She pondered “But maybe not, let’s give him some space first, knowing Y/N he’ll probably already forgive me and things will all be like normal” She thought as she sees Y/N takes off his helmet.
“Besides it’ll be nice having peace without him nagging me all the time” She said to herself as she continues and enter the building.
That is what Minji thought at first but as the weeks goes she realizes that everything feels so dull. Not that the girls are boring but she felt that something is missing, deep down she knows it’s not something but someone.
Things started to became worse when Minji’s daily routine are a mess without Y/N. She overslept because no one is calling her up, she misses home works because no one is showing theirs, she scored bad on a test because no one is teaching her the way Y/N did.
But it’s all pales in comparison to all the things Y/N did to her, the smiles, the jokes, the head rub, the hugs. She misses all of that, his laugh, his touch, his praise, and damn she even misses his nagging because most of the time he was right. She misses Y/N , she misses someone that is dear to him, someone that from the young age holds a special place in her heart.
Minji’s currently now in the school’s yard, for the first time in while she’s not late to school. There she sees her friends waving to her.
“Good morning Minji-unnie!” Hyein said.
“Good morning to you too Hyein-ah” She replied.
“Omo Minji-ah, you’re finally not late!” Exclaimed Hanni.
She laughed at what Hanni said “Yeah Hanni-ya, finally my alarm is loud enough”.
As they’re talking to each other, they hear Y/N’s bike entered the school, but something surprises them.
“Is Y/N-oppa… carrying a girl?” Haerin said.
“That seems to be the case Haerin-ah” Replied Danielle who is looking surprise at what she’s seeing.
“I guess what Mark said is true, girls are interested in Y/N” Hanni said
While the others are discussing what they had just witnessed, Minji could be seen with teary eyes.
“So that’s what you’re up to Y/N-ah, if I just turn down my ego and apologize, that could be me riding with him” She thought.
With one final look to Y/N who is now helping the unknown girl takes off her helmet, she mumbles “What have I done?”
