78.The8 (Seventeen)

There she was, the girl I've been in love with since middle school. Some people say that I'm too young to know what love is, maybe so, but I think it's safe to say I'm in love with (y/n). It has to be love. My heart jumps out of my chest every time I see her. I get nervous and babble like an idiot when she's around. Sometimes I have to force myself to stop looking at her because the butterflies in my stomach go crazy when my eyes fall upon her pure face. She makes me feel something that I've never felt before, I can't even explain it. I love when I get to see her. I don't even have to talk to her, just getting to see her for just a second can get me through a whole day. When she's around, I feel happy and anxious. When she's not, I feel sad and empty. Sometimes when I'm like that, my friends tease me asking where my ray of sunshine is. I smile at the thought that (y/n) is my ray of sunshine, she really is. I don't know if she knows how I feel about her, but I don't know if I could ever come out and tell her. I don't even know if she likes me back. I can only imagine getting to hold her in my arms everyday. Maybe one day I will face my fears. In the meantime, all I can do is admire her from afar and keep my feelings to myself. "Minghao!" I whipped my head around to see Soonyoung running down the school hallway towards me. It seemed like he was about to run into me, but he abruptly stopped. "Soonyoung! What did we tell you about running in the halls?" Jihoon asked. "What? I only ran into a wall once." "Yeah which cost you a trip to the hospital for a broken nose." Junhui said. Soonyoung stuck his tongue out at them. "Anyways, Minghao, Minghao!" Soonyoung grabbed my shoulders and shook me. "What is it?!" "Your ray of sunshine is brightening up the halls and she's coming this way!" Jihoon and Junhui cringed and my eyes widened. "Look, there she is!" Soonyoung pointed to (y/n) who just turned the corner. I quickly grabbed his hand and put it down before she saw. I glanced at her and my cheeks turned rosey pink. "Aw, Minghao! You're so in love!" He pinched my cheeks and I swatted his hands away. "Why don't you just confess to her already?" Jihoon asked. "I-I don't know." I said quietly. "Well you should do it already! We're tired of seeing you all mopey when she's not around." Junhui said. Suddenly, Seokmin came out of nowhere. "What are we talking about?" He asked, casually putting an arm around Soonyoung. "We're trying to convince Minghao here to confess to (y/n) already." "Ming-how? More like Ming-when are you gonna confess, ahaha, am I right?" Seokmin put his hand up but nobody highfived. "She's getting closer!" Soonyoung whispered. He and Seokmin exchanged looks then looked at me. They better not. "Oops, sorry!" The two ''accidentally'' bumped me into the middle of the hallway, right in front of (y/n). And I lost my balance and fell on my face, right in front of (y/n), right at her feet to be specific. "Oh my god, are you okay?!" Her angelic voice rang in my ears and my heart fluttered despite the pain. She knelt down beside me and held my face, examining it. No doubt she noticed how red my face was. "I-I'm okay." I said, my voice betraying me and cracking. I could hear my friends snickering. I looked over and they gave me a thumbs up. She gasped quietly. "Your nose." She said. "It's bleeding." She took and tissue out of her little purse and started dabbing my nose. "Here, stand up." She grabbed my arm and helped me up. She reached her arm up back under my nose to dab the blood. "Do you want me to take you to the nurse?" She asked. I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing came out. Soonyoung walked over next to me. "Our friend here is so clumsy. Can you please take him? We would, but we need to go...feed our teacher's fish. Right guys? Come on!" The other three mumbled agreements and followed Soonyoung to wherever they were actually going. "Come on. Hold this under your nose." I grabbed the tissue from her and followed her to the nurses office. "That must have been some fall, huh?" The nurse asked. "Huh? Oh, yeah." I said. While the nurse was cleaning me up, I noticed (y/n) still standing in the door way. "Oh, I'm out of nasal spray, I'll be right back." The nurse walked out and (y/n) was playing with the ends of her hair. "You don't have to stay with me." I said even though I wanted her to. She looked up and grinned. "Do you want me to leave?" I knew she was trying to tease me. "N-no! I-I mean, if you want to." Her laughter warmed my heart. "I'm just messing with you, but it's okay. I'll stay." She said shyly. Wait, shyly? Why was she acting shy? Her hands were behind her back and she was leaning on one leg swinging the other back and forth. She looked so cute. I felt myself smile and she looked at me. "What?" She asked. I quickly looked away. "Nothing." After the nurse came back and I was able to leave, we both walked out together and walked back to the hall where we hand our encounter. "So where are you going now?" I asked. "I have to go to English." She said. "What about you." "Math." She raised her hand and pointed behind her. "But, the math classes are that way." "I know, but I want to walk you to class. It's the least I could do since you went to the nurses office with me." She smiled and looked down. I wish she kept her head up so I could see her. When we got to her class, we awkwardly said goodbye and I started walking away. "Minghao?" She called. My heart skipped a beat at her voice calling my name. I turned around. "Y-yes?" "Is there anything you want to say to me?" She asked. "What do you mean?" "Well," She started playing with her fingers. "It just seemed like you kept wanting to say somethibg, but didn't." I opened my mouth to say something, but said nothing. "See? Like that." I sighed and bit my lip. "Actually yes." One shaky step after the other, I walked closer to her, my eyes glued to the ground. "You won't be weirded out, will you?" "Why would I be?" I took a deep breath. "Well, (y/n), I uh, I like you." I said slowly. "No, I l-love you. You're all I think about and I hate going home after school everyday because I can't see you until the next day. You give me feelings I didn't even know I had. I'm happy whenever I see you and sad when I don't. You're my, um, my ray of sunshine." I said, blushing. She leaned down in front of my face and looked at me. "I'm your sunshine?" She asked, smiling. "That has to be the cutest, most genuine confess I've ever received." My heart sank a little. "So you've had other guys confess to you?" I asked. "Of course, but I turned them all down because I like someone else." "Oh." I looked back down and she laughed. "It's you." I looked up at her smiling face. "So does this mean you accept my feelings?" I asked hopefully. "Not only accept, but return as well. I have to say I feel the same way." She said. I couldn't help but smile. "Then do you want to go out this weekend?" She nodded. "We should go see the firework show then get something to eat afterwards." She suggested. "Really? Most girls want to go to some expensive restaurant or something." Her smile fell. "Well I'm not like most girls then." "Oh no, I didn't mean it like that- I just-" She grinned. "Relax, it's okay. I just like simple things and this would be perfect." She said. "If you want to, then of course. I'll pick you up at 7 and we can walk down to the park." "Sounds good." "Hey, get to class!" The hall monitor called. "Hurry and go, I don't want you to get in trouble." She said. I smiled. "Right, but one more thing." I went up and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. "I'll see you later." She blushed and held her cheek. I practically skipped to class and my head was in the clouds. I faced my fears, and now I have a date with my love, (y/n).
