park chanyeol blinked once. twice. thrice. 456173819392939 times until he opened his mouth, and left it there.

i chuckled. "sorry to disappoint you."

chanyeol immediately turned around and slapped his forehead. "shit...i said all those things about min gaeun to her and turns out she's actually min gaeun whatthefuckifuckedupshit." he muttered to himself and finally turned around.

"i probably should've told you earlier?" i asked sheepishly.

"no shit! i can't believe you're actually humpitydumpity, the memelord who kept on messaging me." chanyeol breathed.

"you like me don't you?" i asked cockily.

"nope! i-i was juuuuust joking of course!" chanyeol blushed.

"it's okay, you already know why i messaged you in the first place."

"wait wHy?" chanyeol asked, testing me. "i guess i forgot." he really wasn't. he just wanted to hear me say that i liked him.

"i guess i forgot too." i said.

chanyeol sighed. "it's like you're two different people in one body."

i shrugged.

"but you're really her?!?! fucking-gah!" chanyeol grabbed his hair. "this is so embarrassing."

i laughed. "you should be glad it's me."

"i mean-i guess i kinda am." chanyeol said. "but you talk like a machine online, and you're like so quiet in real life."

i shrugged again. "maybe it's a phase bro."

"you really put me through a roller coaster. i couldn't sleep for weeks because i felt like i was being stalked by an online troll who kept messaging me weird pictures." chanyeol said. "anyways..." he trailed off.

"what?"

"so you me, we like each other, so...?"

"so?"

chanyeol face palmed. "never mind."

i laughed. "i'm just playing. but let's take it slow, i'm not fond of jumping into things and crap."

chanyeol nodded. "i was thinking you'd say that. i'm glad."

i smiled. "now that you basically confessed your feelings to me in front of my father, should we get home now?"

chanyeol realized what i said and immediately turned around, bowing 90 degrees. "i apologize sir! but your daughter is in great hands, i will treat her well and protect her with my life sir." he saluted, and then bowed again.

i chuckled. "see appa? i'm finally getting my life started again. thank you for staying with me, and don't worry too much. i will be going now, goodbye appa, saranghae."

chanyeol silently walked beside me, casually swinging his arms around. a warm hand suddenly grasped my hand, and i looked down to me and chanyeol's intertwined fingers, raising an eyebrow.

"the first step of our relationship." chanyeol said, swinging our arms.

"you're being cheesy." i replied.

"no. i'm being boyfriend material." chanyeol said, which made my face scrunch up.

"it's only been the first day, dumbo."

"that means many more to go."

i chuckled.

;;;

"GAEUNIE!!!" a voice yelled from across the hallway. i mentally slammed my head against my locker as i turned to chanyeol.

"hi." i said.

"stop acting like i'm a nuisance, you know you want me." chanyeol said.

"you're like a bomb when you want attention. loouuddddd." i said.

"i only want attention from you." he whispered.

i chuckled. "but you're cute so it's okay."

chanyeol nodded in satisfaction. "about time you noticed."

"i noticed since the day i stepped in this school, sir park chanyeol."

"i noticed you were cute when you slipped on that banana." chanyeol said, pinching my cheek.

"hey, you two, i'm still here." jiyoo commented. "you little big eared monkey, i was here first."

"yah! your best friend is so mean!!" chanyeol whined.

"high five." i said, lifting my hand up to her.

"a moment your so cute and nice, the next your a big bully." chanyeol muttered.

i laughed. "sorry~"

i saw a minseok suddenly coming up behind jiyoo, tip-toeing. he put his finger to his lips and told us to shush. jiyoo wasn't aware of his presence.

"JIYOO-AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" minseok screamed in her ear, putting his hands on her shoulder and shaking it.

"AHHHH!!!!!" jiyoo jumped 50 feet in the ear and turned around, hitting minseok. "YAH! YOU LITTLE-"

"AHHH!!! I'M SORRY I'M SORRY!!" minseok said, putting his hands up in defense. "OW!"

jiyoo sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. "why are we friends."

"because naega chae chalaga (i am the best)" minseok suddenly grinned and danced 2ne1's 'i am the best'.

jiyoo jumped and joined in. "BAM RATATATA TATATATATA!!!!" shaking her butt.

"oh my god what is wrong with them." i sighed, walking away.

"walk to class with me?" chanyeol asked.

i shrugged and nodded. "i hope you're late."

"why are you so mean~~~"

;;;

"so, apparently, that gaeun girl is dating chanyeol!!"

"she's so lucky."

"she must be nice."

"chanyeol isn't easy."

"i wish i was her..."

the hallway was flooded with comments on chanyeol and me. some were mean, some weren't. suddenly many people wanted to talk to me. but the fact is, we weren't officially dating, so all this is for nothing.

yeah we liked each other, but i wouldn't consider it dating just yet.

"gaeun! let's all sit here!" chanyeol called and waved over me and jiyoo.

i nodded and we both made our way over there.

"you've become the talk of the school now gaeun." chanyeol laughed.

i rolled my eyes. "this is all your fault."

he put his hands up. "i didn't do nothin."

"you guys aren't even officially dating yet, right?" minseok asked.

"yeah, but everyone seems to think so." i replied.

"guys, here this." chanyeol said. "you know that girl that was texting me ok that random account all this time?"

"yeah?"

"it was her." he pointed to me and i glared at him, face heating up. "she liked me this whole time!"

the whole table turned their heads towards me. "really??"

"that was the past." i said.

"you never told me this! no wonder why you were always on your phone." jiyoo accused.

the group 'oohed' and i mentally facepalmed.

"it was only a little crush, i never planned on telling him who i was." i said.

"but you did!"

"hey! when i slipped on that banana peel, that was the moment he grew attached to me." i boasted. "he even told me, the me that he didn't know was me, that he liked me."

everyone started laughing. "this is set up or something i swear!"

"it isn't though."

"well, congratulations kids." junmyeon said, giving a golf clap.

"stop that, you look like a grandma." i said.

"girl, i can look like a fucking grandma if i want." junmyeon said back.
