Second year.

Jimin never knew it, nor saw it. But it all started from that one day when Jimin was sitting quietly in the cafeteria, waiting for her best friend to come and join her at the round table.

Jimin saw how Aeri walked towards her table while staring somewhere else with a happy grin on her face. As soon as the Japanese took her seat right across Jimin, she asked her best friend in confusion.

"What are you looking at?"

Aeri finally turned her attention back to her best friend. "I don't know if you ever realize this, but I guess you got yourself a fan", Aeri smug before rolled her eyes teasing.

"A fan?", Jimin asked in confusion.

"Yeah. You see, that girl", Aeri turned her head in the exact same direction she'd been looking at just now. "Oh— she looked away already", Aeri chuckled.

Jimin tried to look in the same direction Aeri had been telling her. She saw that one girl was sitting five tables away from them, stirring her drinks mindlessly as her eyes stuck onto them.

"That short-haired one?", Jimin look at Aeri again before the Japanese nods her head. "Yup".

"You are too much, Aeri. Maybe she just looked at me for a short second?", Jimin asked before Aeri immediately swatted her hands in front of her best friend's face, denying it.

"No, girl. No-no. You don't know this because I've never told you this. But I've caught her staring at you more than you've ever imagined", Aeri asked with her smirk before she continued. "Her smile! Oh god— yes! Every time she stares at you, she always flashes her tiny smile!", Aeri nods aggressively.

Hearing her friend's statement, Jimin shifted her gaze back to the mysterious girl who was still stirring her drink mindlessly with her straw before she turned back to Aeri.

"First year? I'm not familiar with her face", Jimin asked.

"I think so. But she's cute, tho", Aeri smirked even more, and Jimin couldn't help but let out a tiny scoff. "Don't you wanna know her name? Ask your younger sister! Isn't she the first year too?".

"My sister? Ningning?"

"Yeah. Ask Ning. Maybe she knew her", Aeri continued to smirk as Jimin shook her head disagreeing. Maybe. Just maybe, she is a bit interested. The girl's appearance somehow succeeds in piquing up her interest.

Somehow she also wondered why the other girl sitting alone there.

****

"Ning-ah!", Jimin shouted from the living room before her younger sister came down running from upstairs. "What the heck?".

"Do you know any girl in your class with black short hair? Probably the one that often sits alone?"

The younger girl froze on the stairs, landing her body on the railings as she thought. "Hmm... I don't think so", she answered.

"Really—"

"Wait. I think I know one. Probably, Kim Minjeong?", Ningning's eyes widened in realization, "There are three girls in my class with short hair, but when you said the one that often sits alone, that is definitely her", Ningning nodded in confirmation.

"Is she always like that?", Jimin asked from the couch.

"Like what?"

"Sitting alone", Jimin lifted one of her eyebrows as she turned her attention to her younger sister at the stairs.

"She is a bit too quiet. I guess people are just a bit afraid to approach her", Ningning said before her face slowly turned into a grin. "Why are you asking tho? Did you know her?", her smirk just got even bigger.

"N-No! Just curious!"

"Lies!"

"Shut up, you dork!"

****

Since that day Aeri mentioned to her about Minjeong, it is just a bit too hard for Jimin to unsee the younger girl. Every time she saw her, she couldn't help but not notice the younger girl's presence.

Soon Jimin realized that Minjeong looks really, really... cute.

and beautiful.

But of course, she's cute.

The secret of her knowing about the younger girl's identity going on for a year. Sometimes, Jimin caught Minjeong red-handed staring at her before the younger girl immediately turned away, and Jimin could see how the younger girl's cheeks blushed in embarrassment.

"Cute", Jimin laughs.

But that one day, Jimin couldn't just help herself to approach her.

It was Kim Minjeong, after all. The girl that succeeded in piquing Jimin's interest a year ago until now. Jimin just couldn't ignore it when she saw how the girl's zipper was slightly open.

Seeing that makes Jimin's face flushed and her heart beats like crazy.

"Girl up, Jimin! Face her, and talk to her! You can do it!", Jimin said to herself before she walked closer and called the younger girl.

But how Minjeong shocked by her presence and suddenly ran away in horror horrified Jimin a bit. Wait, did she find Jimin a scary person?

But, anyway— Girl up, Yu Jimin! She knew she needed to save Minjeong in the situation before somebody else saw that and made fun of her. Jimin won't allow that to happen.

"Hey! Wait!"

Jimin chased after her, trying to mix around with the crowd so that she could take Minjeong and pull her away from the crowd. When there were only two of them at the corner of the building, Jimin could feel how her heart beating so fast from how close they were standing in front of each other.

Before Jimin slowly leaned closer and whispered, "Your fly is open".

Seeing how panicky Minjeong became sent butterflies to Jimin's stomach. God— Why is she so cute?

"No problem, Minjeong", Jimin said as she patted the younger girl's head before Minjeong's eyes shot open. "Y-You knew me?", Minjeong stuttered with her words. Cheeks are so visibly red.

"I've been watching you for a year, and yes. I knew you, Kim Minjeong", the smile on Jimin's face became wider. "I guess I'll talk to you from time to time after this", Jimin nods with her tiny laughs.

"B-But... How...?", Minjeong's eyes were looking at Jimin's for a short second before she quickly turned away. Gosh, Jimin's heart might explode.

"You are just too cute for me to unsee", Jimin's eyes formed into a crescent moon.
