"YOU DID WHAT?"

you immediately cover your precious ears as your best friend shouts. of course, nothing really new, she shouts about everything that's wrong with you.

in her eyes, you messed up big time, but to you, it was simply a reflex.

when you see something cute you can't help but say it's cute. and your crush was definitely cute, you couldn't help but say it—or more like type it.

"kai, you cannot just say a girl looks cute especially when she doesn't even know you!" chaeyoung continues to chatise you.

you're use to it by now.

chaeyoung and you have been friends since middle school. it all happened when you walked into your new homeroom class and you saw a very short girl jumping to reach a high place on the chalkboard in an attempt to erase the writing, a demand the teacher had given her. everyone was laughing at the poor girl who was almost in tears.

you were always very kind, something your late mother had reminded you to be. you held the door open for strangers, complimented and thanked your elders, and you also had manners beyond your age.

so there was no question that you, a tall child at the time, would take the eraser out of tiny chaeyoung's hands and finish the task for her.

ever since that day, she has followed you around as if she were waiting to to pay you back as a way of saying thank you. she was always waiting for a situation arise where you were in some sort of trouble that would need chaeyoung's assistance, but unfortunately for her, but fortunately for you, you were never in trouble.

that's why she's so invested in your love life.

although you were very nice and a perfect gentleman, you never dated.

not even once.

which could be kind of embarrassing as you are nineteen and have never been kissed.

when you told chaeyoung about the cute girl you saw in the hallways, the cute girl in your third period class, the cute girl that never talked, that girl that caught your attention, she had promised you a date with the girl before you graduated.

it's been three years since that promise has been made and there has been no progress.

your crush doesn't talk to anyone, keeps to herself, always reading or doing her homework. no matter how many times—over the course of three years—every time chaeyoung tries to talk to her, she simply smiles and apologizes for not being able to talk at the moment.

cute.

"i'm sorry, chae, i couldn't help myself," you pass an exasperated hand through your fluffy hair.

she huffs, plopping herself on your bed. "i've been trying for three years to talk to her. i am so close to actually get her to say hi to me. and you just waltz in and say 'cute?' kai, you're ruining what i've been building up."

you try hard to fight back a laugh and chaeyoung's frustration. "i'm sorry i messed up your progress. we all know how hard you worked."

"but i did work hard! everyday!"

chaeyoung scurries over to your side, laying her head on your chest as you begin to run your fingers through her hair.

"i know you did, chae," you sigh in content at the contact from your best friend.

"if only you could like someone less complicated," she laughs to herself. "what is it about that girl anyway that makes you like her so much."

you can't help but smile to yourself as you picture her seated at her desk with a cute frown painted across her rosey lips, staring down at the piece of paper with a math equation on it.

"that girl's name is chou tzuyu,"

you shut your eyes, drifting off into a peaceful sleep before you uttered these words.

"and i like everything about her."
