five

He told me to follow him and led me back to the school. The gates hadn't closed yet and I assumed it was because of the after-school clubs.

I was right.

He stopped walking when we reached the gym, where a group of boys were playing basketball. There were girls and other people on the sidelines, cheering them on or just silently observing. I stared at him confused. Why would he bring me here?

"You see him?" He pointed to one of the boys on the court. He was tall and had black hair, not to mention a million-dollar smile decorating his face. It took me a while, but soon I realized that he was one of the boys I had seen with him at the library. I nodded and he said, "This is all his fault."

Not a bet. Please tell me this isn't a bet. I'd seen what had happened to other people because of bets like these and they never ended well. I didn't want to end up heartbroken and depressed just because of a meaningless "relationship."

"His grandmother wants to marry me off," he started. "She wants me to marry some relative of theirs in Europe, and I can't do anything about it because my parents are all for it." He turned to look at me, "So I need you to help me." I would've been lying if I'd said I didn't pity his situation.

"Oh." I wanted to comfort him, but I didn't know how. I had never talked to anyone besides my family - how was I supposed to sympathize with a stranger? "But, why do you need me to do it?"

"Because." He paused and looked down, suddenly embarrassed. It was a change from his intimidating stares, "You're the only girl I've ever spoken to." I was going to correct him and say that he had actually yelled at me, but there's a time and place and this wasn't the time.

I don't even know your name, I thought, sighing as I looked down at my feet. How am I supposed to be your "girlfriend" if I don't know your name?

"Ji Changmin."

"Hm?" I looked up at him to see him looking at me with a small smile. I didn't realize that I had spoken my thoughts. I felt my face begin to turn hot and looked down again in hopes he wouldn't notice - though he so obviously did.

"My name's Ji Changmin."
