Woojin pouted while resting his head on his desk. He was looking to the front of the class, where Minjae was sitting in her assigned seat with Choa, munching on a Triangle-Kimbap. Rice was stuck to her cheek while she laughed about something Choa had told her.

Woojin was bugged about something. Even though Minjae wasn't mad at him anymore, she hasn't answered his confession either. It's been a month since he confessed and still, Minjae didn't felt the need to answer him. Whenever Woojin saw her hanging out with Hyeongseop and Choa he got slightly jealous. He wanted to spend time with her. He wanted to have fun with her after school! Not stupid Hyeongseop who only hung out with them because he was interested in Choa.

"What's with the long face, Hyung?" Jinyoung asked and his face came into Woojin's sight. "Nothing." Woojin let out annoyed and stood up, ready to kick his chair when he saw Jihoon looking at him. "You haven't been this moody since ages," Jihoon announced and Woojin snickered. "No I haven't but I am in a bad mood so leave me alone." And with these words Woojin left the classroom, leaving Jinyoung and Jihoon confused. "What the heck is wrong with him?" Jinyoung asked and wanted to stand up to follow his Hyung, but Jihoon stopped him.

"He said he wants to be alone, right? So we better leave him be." Jihoon said and quickly glanced over at Minjae who was currently wiping the rice off her face. "Where are you looking at?" Jinyoung asked and Jihoon sighed. "Just eat, will you?" Jihoon said and concentrated back on his Manga.

"Will you come to practice today?" Choa asked Minjae while packing away her lunch. Minjae took a sip of her juice and shook her head. "I'm going shopping with my Mum today. She wants" - "You're lying I can see that." Choa chuckled. "You don't have to come, you know?" She asked and Minjae nodded. The girl eyed Hyeongseop for a second, who was busy eating his Frittata. 

"I actually wanted to meet Woojin today," Minjae whispered towards her best friend. "Why?" Choa asked back, her eyes fixated on Hyeongseop. Minjae leaned even closer to Choa and finally whispered; "He confessed to me a month ago and I never gave him an answer."

Choa widened her eyes at her best friends words. "He confessed and you let it slide?!" Choa shrieked, catching the attention of the other classmates. Minjae blushed. "Choa!" She whined and Choa apologized while Hyeongseop was choking on his Frittata.

Minjae was looking at the clock and back to Woojin who was jotting some notes down in his notebook. She couldn't wait until the school bell rang and she could catch him before he left. She needed to finally give him an answer.

The last month was kinda weird, as Minjae was trying to figure out her feelings for Woojin. But a couple of days ago she realized that she kinda liked him. It was different than friendship because when she was around Hyeongseop, or Woojin's friends, for example, she never felt the need of act cute and girly.

She wanted to be seen as a girl, not just a friend. 

And that's why it had taken her so long to figure out her feelings. She had never been in love and after watching several tutorials of "how to develop a crush" or reading articles covering what a crush is, Minjae was sure she liked Woojin more than just a classmate. More than just a friend.

The ring of the bell caught Minjae mid-thoughts and she immediately jumped up and grabbed her bag, running to the other side of the classroom, where Woojin was currently packing his stuff. "Woojin!" Minjae sternly announced and Woojin looked up, surprised to see her. "Come with me, please." She asked, adding a bit of cuteness to her voice only making the boy chuckle.

"Do you want to tease me with that voice?" He asked, but coughed once Minjae had linked her arm around his. Woojin looked at their intertwined arms and his ears slightly turn red. "Please?" Minjae asked again and Woojin sighed. "Okay, okay." He said Goodbye to Jihoon and Jinyoung and got dragged outside by Minjae. "What's going on?" He asked once they left the school.

Minjae smiled. "I owe you an answer." She said and let go of Woojin's arm. The boy, who secretly enjoyed holding her like that, pouted. "I thought about ... my feelings a lot," Minjae said and kicked a few rocks away. She blew up her cheeks. "And because I didn't have any knowledge of love whatsoever I watched some tutorials and read magazines," Minjae announced and Woojin looked at her as if she was dumb.

"You... watched tutorials?" Woojin asked and Minjae nodded, dead serious. "I don't know what love is. But as I read stuff about it I came to the conclusion that I like you too."

Woojin opened his mouth. "You're trolling me, right?" - "No. I like you." Minjae said again and Woojin had to start laughing. Minjae blew up her cheeks, not understanding why Woojin was so amused. "What's so funny?" Minjae asked perplex and Woojin laughed even more.

"I can't believe you!" He chuckled. Minjae crossed her arms in front of her chest. "Then... Then I have to prove you!" Minjae screamed and walked up to Woojin, standing on her tip-toes and quickly pecking his lips before running off and hiding behind a tree.

Woojin stood there and blinked twice. Did Minjae just kiss him? Just like this? 

Minjae was looking at Woojin who wasn't moving a centimeter so she came out of her hiding place and walked up to him. "Are you okay?" She asked and poked Woojin's side. "You weren't trolling me." He simply said and Minjae shook her head. "No, I've been telling the truth." She chuckled and grabbed Woojin's hand, intertwining their fingers with each other.

Woojin couldn't believe what she was doing. And how dumb she was. "But Minjae!" He spoke up and Minjae looked at him. "Please warn me the next time you kiss me, ok?" Minjae furrowed her brows. "I'll think about it." She chuckled and pecked his cheek before dragging him to the subway station.
