CHAPTER 5: School Festival (5)

"Mingyu, I like you!" I didn't dare to look at him while I mumble my confession to be sure that he won't hear it! BUT! "What is it noona?" He looked at my way and he even leaned closer trying to hear what I said! Darn it! And the sound of the fireworks is not that loud! I just smiled stiffly and made an excuse: " I said I like to thank you for the fun day!" I just said lamely. Hope he buys it and not ask further! He looked at my eyes and smirk! "Are you sure that's what you said noona?" Uh oh! Why do I have a bad feeling about this? I tried to back away since he was walking towards me. We continued that pace of me backing away while he kept going forward until I hit the wall! I was about to escape by going to the left when he reached out his hand and placed it beside me trapping me! When I tried to go the other way he did the same! Now I'm trapped in between his arms! Is this the infamous "Kabedon" that I read in novels, manhwas, and mangas?! My heart is racing I don't know what to do!

He leaned closer and with his low voice, spoke next to my ear! "Noona~, can you repeat what you said earlier? I wasn't able to hear clearly~" I shivered when I hear his sexy voice, I looked up at him and he was staring at me… Then, he slowly leaned close to my face! OMG! Is he going to kiss me!? While his face is getting closer I just closed my eyes waiting for him to kiss me…

***Krrriiiinnnnggg!!!****

I suddenly opened my eyes, looked at the ceiling, with sweat forming on my forehead! What the heck!? It was just a dream! I slowly sat up in bed and rubbed my eyes in irritation! Stupid alarm! I was this close in kissing Mingyu! I looked out at the window of my dorm. Well, it has been 2 years since that school festival, but I don't remember having to confess though? Might be my subconscious is eager for a happy ending with him so that's why I dreamt about it like that. I just smiled while remembering the dream. Well, it's been a long time, hope he is doing fine. My roommate called me that I can take a shower, now that she's done. I went to the bathroom, took a shower and forget about the dream I just had. Dreams and reality are different, I'm just glad that I was able to keep myself under control and not mess it up. Though we don't see each other like before since I avoided meeting him as much as possible since I'm not yet confident enough to say that I don't have any feelings for him. But what's important is that we are still friends until today and I'm happy with that.

I left my dorm room and while I was walking… Eh?! I think I saw someone familiar? Hmmmm…? I guess I was just seeing things, it's impossible for him to be here anyway. I just ignored it and just went to class. I need to distract myself or I will start thinking about him again, plus I need to pay attention in class or I might incur the wrath of my professor if he caught me in a daze again and give the assignment to write some 50,000-word review or something again.

After classes, my friends wanted to go out for a drink since it's a weekend tomorrow and we don't have any classes. I joined them since I don't have any assignments or reports to do, and it's a good time to relax after all the studying. We went to the bar that we always go to and sat on our regular spot. My friend A-yeong ordered us beer and some side dishes while looking around as if looking for something. "Here, here!" She suddenly called out while waving her hand. When I glanced at the direction she was waving at, I saw 3 guys coming our way. I looked at our table and looked at the 3 men, I immediately had a bad feeling about this. No wonder they didn't want me to tag along! This was a meet up not just going out for a drink with girlfriends!

"Hi, A-yeong! Are these your friends that you talked about? Hello, I'm Kim Chul-soon and these are my friends, Jung Eo-Jin and Lee Gyu-Ha. And your names are?" He looked at the two other girls ignoring me. Hmph! As if he's that good looking!? Tch! I just ignored it and drank my beer not caring anymore if I was being rude to them or not. A-yeong glared at me as if warning me to behave and looked apologetic to the 3 guys while fluttering her eyelashes trying to be cute. "Hi, I'm Park A-yeong, sitting beside me is Gu Ye-in, next to her is Yeum Dahae and the girl on my right is Seo Mi-ran. Please sit down." She smiled at the guys while waving at the waiter to ask for additional chairs for them.

"So, do you girls go here often? Why haven't I seen you here before? I always come here with my friends, if it weren't for A-yeong and Chul-soon Hyung introducing us I won't be able to get the chance to meet a beautiful girl like you." The guy name Jung Eo-jin asked Ye-rin. What the heck is that? A pick-up line?! Puhlease! Try to be creative and as if that will work on Ye-in… I looked at Ye-in and she was blushing hard and trying to act coy, said: "Oh my, you are just saying that! I'm not that beautiful." She said while smiling and fanning her face as if she was embarrassed. Ugh! Please spare me from this torture. When I looked on my left I saw that the other two pairs are also openly flirting! What the heck is this sudden development!? Aren't they a little too early to be flirting?! I thought they will act demure and innocent first before flirting! Tsk! Please, girls! I know we have been single for a long time but please restrain yourselves and don't be so obvious that we are desperate! I was crying internally, not just because of my friends but also because I'm the seventh wheel here! I want to talk to a guy too you know!? I've been single since birth and haven't had a chance to date anyone yet!
