Fluff & Romance ~ School / Coffee Shop

{ WHO ARE YOU }

♡

Lee Soojin ~ you
_

"Chanyeol oppa!" I yelled through the busy school hallway with bustling students. Only I can see him in this hallway- I can't see anyone else.

His giraffe like height was like a beacon for my short self, and he turned around to show me his honey-like smile.

"Soojin-ah!" He called me with his sexy deep voice as he opened his long arms.

I ran towards him. Everything felt like slow motion, just like those movies. We were running towards each other with such emotion and love, we just couldn't bear our parting for another hour for fourth period.

Except...

That whole scenerio was totally made up in my head.

I sigh and scribble out the sketch I drew, which showed the both of us surrounded by a heart. And another bunch of miscellaneous doodles of our names and all that.

I look at the board and scribbled down the math notes we were supposed to take, and looked at the window next to me.

The bell rings a few minutes later, and I grab my things and the hoard of people rush to greet me.

"Hi Soojin! Can you eat lunch with us today?" A guy said with his friends standing behind him with hopeful expressions.

"I'm sorry. I can't. Maybe next time?" I asked as the boys nodded with smiles.

"Unnie! Wanna go to the mall with us after school?"

"Soojin-ah! Do you want to be in our video?"

"Soojin! I love your hair, it's so pretty!"

"Wanna hang out this weekend Soojin?"

And the questions kept coming. And I continued to decline politely, telling boys and girls alike that I couldn't with fake excuses added.

I grab my things and finally leave the classroom and head towards the roof.

Luckily, I lose the people who surround me, and I caught a glimpse of the tall boy with curly brown hair.

He wears a charming smile that makes you want to smile along with him.

In addition, glasses framed his eyes, but I've seen them taken off before.

And when they were taken off, he becomes a handsome and mysterious creature. Not that he isn't attractive when he has his spectacles on, I just prefer him without.

He's cute, and frankly, I've been watching him and thinking about him ever since the beginning of the year, where he transfered into our school.

There was this little bubble of happiness that exploded inside of me whenever I saw him. And the best thing was that he was in two of my classes. Even though that wasn't much, compared to the six classes I had, it was enough to satisfy me for the day.

I do admit it, I have a crush on him.

I ignore the fluttering feelings inside and I make my way towards the roof for a peaceful lunch.

Chanyeol ~

After fourth period ended with the bell, lunch began. With the bustling hallway and loud chatter, I tried to make my way to the cafeteria to find my friends.

But then, I decided to go to the music room, which my music teacher allowed me to play the drums and my personal guitar. Mr. Hong lets me because I'm one of his best students.

I played the drums for a while, but stopped when I didn't feel a vibe. The same happened with the guitar, one of my favorite instruments.

This was weird since I usually have good melodies playing in my mind.

My eyes travel to the roof, and I pack up my guitar and take it with me.

Today, I'm going to the roof.

My feet goes up the stairs one foot after the other, and my hands gently open the door.

A soft breeze welcomes me, and I look around to see if there's anyone here.

Looks like there's no one. I thought. Maybe I can get some peace and quiet here.

I walk a few steps, sit down, and lean on the wall behind me. I open my guitar case and comfortably get into playing position.

I strum a bit and was about to play a song when I heard a voice.

It was calm, soothing, and... angelic. Who's singing? I thought.

I closed my eyes and listened to the girl sing [ a deduction from the light angelic voice, I could be wrong ] with a smile growing on my face.

She was singing Who Are You by Boa. The stranger finishes the song, and stops after that. I walk towards the other side of the roof, where she might be sitting.

The bell suddenly rings, and it's sound radiated throughout the entire school. But as I reach the other side, I saw her long auburn hair swinging in the wind.

I turn around to try to see her, but she already went through the door.

I look back at the spot where the girl sat, and I see a notebook.

I pick it up and furrow my eyebrows. It was a light pastel blue notebook with the Molang bunny on it.

Isn't this Soojin's? I asked myself. I normally saw this notebook sitting on her desk, and wondered why this is here.
I grab it and encase my guitar and hastily make my way back to class, hoping that I'm not late.

During English, I looked over Soojin's notebook. It was deemed hers when I saw her name written on the back of the cover with a cute face drawn next to it.

I break out in an amused smile whenever I saw doodles of random things on her math notes.

I also saw that she sometimes jotted down the lyrics of some songs alongside equations.

But as I get closer towards the back, where the current notes were, I saw some doodles that looked like me. There were also two names written with hearts surrounding them.

Does she like someone? I thought out of curiosity.

But before I could turn to the last current page, a hand stopped me.

"Reading what you're not supposed to be reading Mr. Park?" The voice asked as all eyes turned to me. I groaned inside and thought, Aish why at this moment... This is such bad timing.

"Ah ne. Chaesonghabnida seongsaengnim. I was wrong." I apologize and bow my head.

I proceeded to put the notebook away, but my teacher grabbed Soojin's notebook away from me.

"Lee Soojin, is it?" He asks as I wanted to bang my head against a wall. I clenched my teeth a bit as I hear the whispers starting to spread rumors.

"Good choice. She's smart." I heard seongsaeng-nim say as my eyes widen. He thinks I'm studying her notes? I thought. Oh... good.

"You may return this notebook back to the owner after school, where you'll get it from me." He adds as I nod. "Continue reading the book Mr. Park. And I expect you to write extra paragraphs to today's homework assignment." I groan inside, but English was sort of an easy class for me.

Seongsaeng-nim takes Soojin's notebook and places it inside his drawer. My fingers crawled through my forest of hair, and I sigh.

But what was on the last page? I thought with much curiosity.

-

Lee Soojin ~ you

I had history class after lunch, which was far from the roof.

I quickly took my phone and wrapped my earphones around it, and scurried down the stairs to class before I was late.

But when I sat in my seat, in my horror, I forgot my math notebook on the roof. The math notebook which contained my doodles and indirect confessions...

OH.MY.GOD. I wailed inside in agony and let out a huge, annoyed sigh and fell onto my desk with a flop.

"Soojin, what's wrong?" A few people, including seongsaeng-nim asked me.

I quickly sat up straight and bowed to my teacher.

"S-Seongsaeng-nim..." I said.

"Ne Miss Lee? Do you need anything?" She asked.

"Ne. Seongsaeng-nim, may I have permission to go to another class to retrieve my notebook? It's very important. I apologize for my forgetfulness." I explained.

"Is it that important?" I nodded.

"Ne seongsaeng-nim."

"Go ahead. I'll let you go because you haven't gone out of the classroom once this semester." Seongsaeng-nim says as I smile.

"Kamsamida seongsaeng-nim!" I stand and bow.

I quickly walk out of class, and quietly walk towards the roof. But as the door opened and wind wraps around me, I jog to the other side to find a missing notebook.

Where is it?! I thought. W-What if it flew away?!

I let out a sigh as I walked in the hallway. I turn my head to find my English class, and I widen my eyes when I see my notebook.

I found it. Y-You thief! I thought with panic arising in me. But when I saw the person who was reading it and my heart nearly stopped.

I crouched near the windows and stared at my notebook with pounding heartbeats.

Park Chanyeol? Why does he have my notebook... He can't read it!!!

A hand touches my notebook and I crouch down, hoping to be hidden. I resume spying, and I see Chanyeol and seongsaeng-nim both talk for a bit. The entire class stared at the two and began talking as well.

In the end, seongsaeng-nim takes my notebook and puts it in his desk.

I whine and look at Park Chanyeol once more before I turned away.

Looking troubled, Chanyeol ran his slender fingers through his black hair and continued reading his book.

Why would he have my notebook? I thought when I walked away.

-

My last class of the day was also the last class I had with Chanyeol. I often liked Music class because I got to sing, which is one of my favorite hobbies.

And also because music class was fun; and Chanyeol attends this class.

But I didn't feel excited today like I normally would because Chanyeol took my notebook.

I zoned out on what our teacher was saying, and turned my head to look at Chanyeol, who was sitting near the window.

I furrowed my brows and threw questioning looks at him. It didn't matter, he's not looking at me anyways.

Suddenly, our eyes meet. I quickly turn away, but I felt his eyes on me. I peek at him, and he turns away whenever I did that.

Class passes by without much happening, until...

"Lee Soojin," said Mr. Hong, our music instructor, "and Park Chanyeol."

Our heads look at him and then, at each other in surprise.

"Please construct a duet." Mr. Hong smiles. "I'll give you two five minutes."

I gulped. The duet was easy, but I wasn't sure about myself working along with Chanyeol.

As for my one sided crush, Chanyeol never really paid attention to me nor did we really interact much.

And the whole 'Park-Chanyeol-took-my-notebook situation' didn't make this easier as well.

"Ne." We said at the same time. I then took a second look at him- he wasn't wearing his glasses.

We both stood up and the class started humming with noise. Chanyeol received a list of songs from Mr. Hong, and we both hovered and examined it.

"What kind of song would you like to do?" I asked first.

"How about romantic songs?" Chanyeol suggested.

"But I thought you didn't like romantic songs."

"I've gotten more interested in them because of someone." He smiles as I nod. Chanyeol looks at the list for a few more second as his eyes move down the page. "How about Who Are You by Boa? You can sing while I'll rap."

"Umm sure. Do you know the lyrics?" I asked as he nods.

W-Wait, did he hear me on the roof today?! I-If he did, then maybe that's why he has my notebook all along!

"Are you two ready?" Mr. Hong asked four minutes later.

"Ne." Chanyeol and I say with some confidence.

"Please begin." Mr. Hong walks towards the back of the room and sits in a desk.

"Annyeong yedul-ah. I'm Park Chanyeol, and Lee Soojin and I are going to sing acapella to Boa's Who Are You. Enjoy." Chanyeol says with a big smile.

《 play the music now please ~ 》

♡

My heart is running to you, every sec. getting close to you.

My heart is running to you...

It's getting close to you, babe.

I felt it when I first saw you. You're the type of boy I waited for.

It's like someone drew it out, the way you look, the way you talk.

I don't want to admit but I have no choice but to admit it.

But you're like a tangled line, you make me dizzy.

When you take a step closer, I get nervous for some reason.

What if this is a hasty decision?

But if I go away, I'm afraid I would lose you.

What do I do? Should I hold onto you?

Who are you stranger can't stop thinking of you.

It's like I can catch you but you always disappear like sand.

People say that love is all the same. But you're special, but you have no answer.

Who are you?

My heart is running to you, every sec. getting close to you.

So please don't run away, take my hand.

My heart is running to you, every sec. getting close to you.

So please don't run away, take my hand.

You're my light, the color of love's light is like a prism.

You made a rainbow form in my rainy heart.

You're my reason to live.

I keep on pulling, I don't like to push; I don't like awkward games.

When the phone rings, I run as if I got a package delivery.

Hey lady.

Take back the night!

It might seem like I took a step and arrived next to you.

But I wandered many paths and went round.

Love is like a wild flower, blooming under the sand of a desert.

I'm serious right now, I'm just a little busy living.

So don't hesitate, don't act like you're looking at a stranger.

Don't reject me, I only have you babe.

When you take a step closer, I get nervous for some reason.

What if this is a hasty decision?

But if I go away, I'm afraid I would lose you.

What do I do? Should I hold onto you?

Who are you stranger can't stop thinking of you.

It's like I can catch you but you always disappear like sand.

People say that love is all the same. But you're special, but you have no answer.

Who are you?

Baby baby baby, are you trying to hit on me?

But baby baby baby, how come you still don't get it?

Baby baby baby, can we be together?

You sure?

I know that we will be~

Who are you stranger can't stop thinking of you.

It's like I can catch you but you always disappear like sand.

People say that love is all the same. But you're special, but you have no answer.

Who are you?

I can't grasp anything, I can't do anything.

Because of you, who fills up my head.

I can't grasp anything, I can't do anything.

Because of you, who fills up my head.

Who are you?

♡

I finished the last line with a sigh and smile, and looked at the boy next to me.
He was smiling widely as well. The class exploded in hoots and clapping, including a few shouts of, "Encore!"

Next, the unexpected happened.

Park Chanyeol came to me, took my hand, and bowed with me.

H-he held my hand! ( •//////• )

I was blushing so much after our performance, but Mr. Hong had sparkles in his eyes, and gave us a thumbs up.

"That is what I'm talking about class! A beautiful performance ChanSoo!" Mr. Hong says, clapping.

"ChanSoo?" Some of my classmates murmured as they heard our ship name.

I quickly walk back and sit in my desk, and so does Chanyeol. Lots of people were praising my singing skills, and the boys were muttering jealous words yet they tell me sweet compliments.

I look over to Chanyeol, who was being hit playfully by his friends and complimented by the girls sitting around him.

-

After school, I grabbed my things and was about to head out of class when a few of my girl classmates praised my singing skills and revealed that they were jealous of me singing with Chanyeol. I thank them and ignore their jealousy and bid them a hasty goodbye.

I was heading out the classroom when I realized that my notebook was still missing.

I shouldn't get my notebook in English class. Seongsaeng-nim doesn't know that I know that my notebook is in his class, so I should wait for Chanyeol to get it for me.

Once I took a few steps into the hallway, I heard a deep voice call my name.

"Soojin!" Chanyeol called put as I turned around.

Chanyeol stops in front of me, and takes in a deep breath.

"Ne?" I asked.

"I have something important to give to you. C-Can you come with me for a moment?" He asked, shyly rubbing the back of his neck.

"Oh... ok." I say, trying to use my long hair to hide my excited and red face.

I follow Chanyeol without a word, and after 5 minutes of walking, we end up in a coffee shop.

Lotté Café is one of my favorite cafés, and I also work as an entertainer here. I sing at this cafe for fun and to attract customers. Also, the pay isn't bad and I get free drinks sometimes.

Chanyeol asks me what I want, and I answer, "Strawberry smoothie please."

Chanyeol waits and pays for our drinks, and we reside in a table near the window. I thank him, and the silence begins.

"Chanyeol-sshi, what's the important thing?" I asked after sipping on my smoothie.

"What happened to Chanyeol?" He asks as I tilt my head in confusion. "You were so informal in class. Am I not your friend?"

"A-Ani! I-I just don't know how to call you. W-Wait but what's the important thing?" I asked again.

Chanyeol chuckles and his eyes brighten with amusement. "You can just call me plain Chanyeol, or Yeol if you're brave enough. We're friends now, right?"

Chanyeol smiles and I turn pink. "Oh ok. So... Chanyeol-ah, what's the important thing?" I ask for the third time. Where's my notebook??? I thought.

"I need to give you your notebook, which you left on the roof today. I heard you sing Boa's song, so it's why I suggested it." Chanyeol said, taking out my notebook from his backpack.

My notebook! I thought, feeling so relieved. He hands it too me with both hands and comments, "Your voice is really nice."

"Ah thank you Chanyeol. You aren't bad at rapping either. You're a natural." I remarked as he smiles.

"Thank you. I-I've been practicing myself for a while now. Was I really good?" He asks with hopeful eyes.

"Mhm." I nodded my head and smiled. "Like I said, you're a natural Yeollie."

"That's a relief. Thanks Sollie." Chanyeol smiles as I realized what I called him and blushed.

We take a few quiet sips of our drinks, and peek at each other.

Chanyeol clears his throat and says, "I didn't mean to look at your notebook, but you're a really good drawer."

I nearly spat my drink out. "Y-You saw?"

He nods. "Your sketches are really realistic. One of the guys looks like me."

"O-oh really?" I asked and kept on sipping on my drink. I look behind Chanyeol and saw Hyeri unnie, my boss, beckoning me to come to her.

"Umm chakamanyo chingu-ah." I say and trotted towards Hyeri unnie. "Unnie wae?" I asked.

"It's time for your shift." She says as my eyes widened.

"But today's not my shift." I stated.

"I know, but one of the singers can't come because of an emergency, and I'm really desperate right now. Please???" She asks with clasped hands and a pouting face.

"Sure." I agreed.

She gestures me to come closer, and says, "Are you dating that guy? He's cute." Hyeri comments and looks at Chanyeol, who's playing with his straw. He suddenly looks over and waves at our direction with a smile.

"Do you like him?" Hyeri unnie asks.

I blush and whispered, "He's the one I told you about."

Hyeri unnie gasps. "He's Chanyeol?!" She says loudly as I put my hand over her mouth.

"Unnie, don't be so loud!" I hushed her.

"Mmm mmm mmm!" Unnie said and pointed to the stage.

"Arraso!" I said and scurried to the stage. I sat on the stool and adjusted the microphone and threw the small crowd a smile.

"Annyeonghaseyo everyone. I'm one of Lotté Café's singers, Lee Soojin-mida. Isn't today a lovely afternoon?" I asked as some replied with a yes. Chanyeol looks at me and looks at me with wide surprised eyes.

"That's good. And isn't today at perfect day to meet new people or make new friends everyone?" I asked as I saw Chanyeol and a few others nod.

"Well I thought of a perfect song just for today. This is Who Are You by Boa. I hope you and your friends will enjoy." I said with a smile. I position myself and took a deep breath before singing.

-

It was already late afternoon, and Chanyeol was walking me home. After my shift, he kept on clapping and smiling at me.

Earlier...

"I would totally love a job like yours Soojin!" Chanyeol said.

"Then you should join Soojin during her shifts!" Hyeri unnie said happily, standing behind me.

"When do I apply for the job?" Chanyeol asked eagerly.

"There's no need! Just go and perform a song and I'll be the judge of that." Hyeri unnie smiles.

For the next five minutes, Chanyeol did exactly what I did, except he sang EXO'S Love Me Right.

Hyeri unnie, the crowd, and I cheered and clapped for an encore, and he was immedietly hired.

My crush was working with me. Park Chanyeol is going to work with me!

I almost couldn't control my feels when I talked with Hyeri unnie, and I thanked her so much.

-

"It was really fun hanging out with you Soojin." Chanyeol commented.

"Really?" I asked hopefully. "I'm glad you had fun because I did too." I smiled and looked at him.

Chanyeol unexpectedly turns pink and rubs his neck as we continue walking.

"I feel like I'm your best friend now."

"Why?"

"It's because I get to see an amazing part of you that no one else knows. Does anyone else in school know about your job?" He asks.

I shake my head. "Even though a lot of people talk to me at school, they never sincerely mean it. They just want me to go to their events because I'm the "popular" person. They don't know the real me. A lot of people talk behind my back, actually. I didn't really hear them but sometimes, they say mean things. Music helps it all go away." I explained as he silently nodded.

"Soojin-ah." Chanyeol called as I turned around and stopped.

"Ne?" I asked as his hand landed in my hair.

Chanyeol softly pats and ruffles my hair with a sincere look on his face, and I freeze from his kind gesture.

"Don't worry. I'm here for you." He says as I nod.

"G-Gomawo." I stammered as he flashes and toothy smile.

-

The days that Chanyeol worked along with me quickly turned into weeks and months, and then a year.

We both became really close friends, and I've never been happier.

Except now in school, guys are jealous and would often pick on Chanyeol for being close to me. And the girls realized that Chanyeol was a flower boy, and they also got jealous and said things to us.

But we both just ignored them and focused on our lives. I mean, that's more important than listening to all the negativities, right?

Anyways, Yeol and I were going to our shift at Lotté Café, and today was a special day for the both of us.

It was the day where we officially became friends, the day where we sang a duet in class, the day my notebook went missing.

"Annyeonghaseyo yeorobun! Park Chanyeol-mida."

"Lee Soojin-mida. Annyeonghaseyo." I greeted.

"Soojin-ah, isn't today such a beautiful day?" He asks and looks at me.

"Ne it is Chanyeol-sshi. Since its spring, shouldn't we sing a beautiful song for everyone?" I asked.

"We should. But Soojin-sshi, I have a special performance today for one special person. May I take the stage from here?" Chanyeol asked as I became confused.

This isn't what we came up with....

"Ne. The stage's all yours." I say, residing to a chair near the stage.

"Everyone, today is a very precious day to me. I made a new and interesting friend a year ago on this day. I want to sing a song about our friendship, but now, I can't ignore my heart anymore. I hope you enjoy this song." Chanyeol says and adjusts his guitar.

He can't ignore his heart anymore? I thought, confused.

Chanyeol immedietly plays a soft melody, and I widen my eyes at the song he started playing.

The moment the door opens the world, I knew and a different place spread.

You're opening; you're blossoming.

Like this, like this, you're quite warm.

The place where my two feet touch, this everything all resembles you.

I want to live here everyday, everyday.

Let me live all day by your side.

Reality doesn't come, why isn't this all dream?

Even I don't believe it, is it right that you're all human?

You don't know right? You probably don't know.

My heart towards you is love, love, love.
Cause you're my earth, air, water, fire...

"I need to make a confession to a girl who caught my attention. We both went through ups and downs this year, and today, I'm going to answer to her feelings." Chanyeol says, and looks at me straight in the eyes.

"That day I took your notebook, I actually looked at the very last page that you wrote in. I was surprised by your feelings for me, but I pretended that I didn't know. However, by becoming friends, I slowly fell for you. The popular girl that no one really knows. I too, like you back Sollie. From the very first day that we sang." Chanyeol says as I blush.

H-he read it?!!! Was all I thought about. But as he keeps on continuing to stare at me with his beautiful eyes, people followed him.

Even Hyeri unnie was smiling and clapping like crazy behind the counter. And someone started chanting, "Date him! Date him!" And other customers followed.

I stand up and walk towards the stage, climbed the tiny flight of stairs, and stood in front of him.

"You knew all this time?" I asked quietly.
He nodded. "I'm sorry." He says with his head down.

"It's ok, I forgive you. But why did you hide it all this time?" I asked.

"It wouldn't have been fun, I wouldn't have such an awesome confession, and I needed more time to love you, Sollie." Chanyeol says as I blush and hit his arm.
We continue to stare into each other's eyes, and I ask, "Who are you, Yeollie?"

His eyes show amusement like that day, and he answers, "I'm your boyfriend."

The next thing was unexpected.

Park Chanyeol began our boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with a sweet kiss on the lips.
