Chapter Text
It began when I accidently hit him on the corridor.
I hit him and makes a cup of coffee that he bought spill on his pricey shirt.
His expression shows that he was very mad. Of course he was. Who in the world wouldn't get angry if their pricey shirt spilled by coffee.
"I'm sorry !! I didn't see you stand there." When i looked up. It was him.
Kang Brian a.k.a Ian. He was in a different class with me.
I'm in rush because i was late 15 minutes. Late over 15 minutes or you are not allowed to join the class. I ran as fast as i could. Once i saw him again, he still looking at me with his unhappy expression.
There were nobody at the class. I re-checked my phone and they told in the group it that there were no class for this morning. I could relief a little, but remembering the 'spilled coffee' incident makes me afraid.
His face popped in my minds. I could remember his furrowed eyebrows, sharp gaze, and mad expression that he shows me. It's so scary.
He was known as naughty boy but the teachers still loves him. Thanks to his handsome face and his sexy brain.
There were no another ways. The only way to come back is pass through the corridor.
I peeked behind the wall. The corridor was so quiet. I thought there were nobody, until I reached the end of the corridor.
"You"
I almost got a heart attack when a heavy voice called my name in this quiet corridor. I turned my body to see who's there. It was him. I saw him stood behind the lockers while chewing his gum.
"Oh, hi..." I reply him with an awkward smile. I could see a very clear coffee stain on his pricey white shirt.
He walks toward me with his expression still mad at me.
"You know how much is this shirt ? Maybe you have to sold your kidney to bought this shirt."
"I'm sorry."
"I have to skip the class because of you !" His voice echo-ing along the corridor.
"I'm sorry. Please forgive me I just a poor girl."
"If a 'sorry' is enough, then what is punishment made for ?."
I fell silent. I don't know what to say. He was very scary. Even though i don't see his eyes, but i could feel his sharp gaze looking at me.
"I... I'll do what you say."
The stupidest decision i ever made.
"Hmm.. interesting. You are Ami from class A, right ?. Ok, I have a favor for you."
It's kinda weird that he knows my name even though we were in a different class.
I nodded my head. Hoped that his favor wouldn't weird like himself.
"Be my girl-friend for 100 days."
"Excuse me ? What the....?". I lifted up my head and laughing his stupid favor. "This is even our first time talk together. And you.... What ?."
"Ssshh. Not that 'GIRLFRIEND'. I mean, GIRL-FRIEND, not GIRLFRIEND."
That was a weird agreement. But, he made me do this as an amends.
Since that day, he often searching for me everytime he needs something. Everytime i see his annoying face, i feel like i want to turn back time and pull my words.
He always asks me to buy him a food, borrowing him a pen, sometimes help him bring his unnecessary things, and the weirdest was he asks me to eat up his food.
Today, I and Han decided to spend time together since tomorrow is day off.
Han was waiting for me outside the class to finishing packing my things. I looked left and right to make sure he wasn't here. There's no him, finally.
"How about we try the new cafe near the subway ?"
"Sounds good." An arm wrapped on my shoulders. A heavy voice whispered on my ears and gives me a goosebumps. It was him.
"Can I join you ?? Okay let's go."
He isn't supposed to join us because i want to spend my time with my bestfriend. I rarely hang out with Han after class because sometimes he asks me to accompany him to somewhere i don't even know.
"Oh, okay. You two go. I'll back now."
"Where are you going ? YOU HAVE TO JOIN." I grabbed her hands to prevent her from running away.
This new cafe also has a bakery, so there are a lot of bread on display. All of them looks so delicious.
While Ian was lining to pay it, I and Han go searching for a seat.
"Are you dating with Ian ?? Since when ? Why you didn't tell me ?."
I even haven't put my butt on the chair and she asked me a silly question like that.
"Me ? Dating with him ? Of course not. It's started 1 month ago when I..." He came and brought some snacks. He chose to sit in front of me.
The situation was very awkward. There was a moment of silence. It's because Han was here too. We couldn't talk freely because Ian is joined us.
"Hey, hey Ami. Look !" Han patted my back and pointing at entrance door. A boy came in. He was Park Sungjin, my classmate.
He passed through us. Seems like he didn't see us ? He entered the staff room. Is he working here ?.
He came out from the staff room. He walked towards the cashier while binding his white apron with the cafe's name. Apparently, his position was a barista.
The way he grinds the coffe beans. The way he brew the coffe. The way he makes an art latte. And the way he brings his long hair back.
He doing his job as barista makes me smiles like an insane people. I never seen this side of him. I couldn't take off my eyes from him. I'm too focused on him and didn't realized Han called my name.
"What is wrong with her ?" Ian looks so confused and asked Han with his arm crossed.
"Ah, she likes Sungjin and..."
"Sshhh shut up !!" I shut her mouth to prevent her from telling all secret that i like Sungjin. I feel so embarrassed hearing that words from someone.
"Hello." Sungjin came to our seat. He was sweating because he just finished many orders. He sat in front of Han.
I couldn't hide this red face. I don't know what expression i should show to him. I am too afraid to talk because i am afraid if i said something wrong. I couldn't control myself because we never this close before. I couldn't think clearly because he was near me.
And our table makes us looks like a 4 teenagers doing a blind date.
"Hey." Ian greeted Sungjin and doing a handshake. They two looks so close. I wonder if they were a friends or just greeting.
"So... How ?"
No one answering.
"Hey, answer !" Han whispered on my ears and it's so tickles.
"G... Great ! I love it ? Haha"
"My aunt owns this cafe. I just help her as cashier and barista. I'll give you a coupon and discount if any. Okay, gotta back to work. Bye !" He walked to the cashier desk and flip his hair back again.
His broad shoulder. A view i always see everytime i'm trying to see him. I just could see him like this because when our eyes met, his face wouldn't get out of my minds for almost a full day.
The sky is getting dark. The lamps street were turned on to lighten up the night day.
Since this cafe near the subway, we decided to separate on this cafe. Me and Han would go to the subway, and Ian... Maybe he uses the bus.
"Bye, Ian. Thanks for today." He gripped and pulled my arm suddenly. His grip was so thight and makes my hand tingle.
"What are you doing let me go ! I wanna go back with Han ! I have make promise with her !." He didn't listening to my words and keep walking. Han just saw me and waved her hand.
He took me to the parking lot at the campus. He removed his grip and take out a key car. A small black car was beeped. It was his car.
He opened the door for passanger and asked me to get in with his head. I have to do it because this is his favor.
He drove his car out from campus. Since back from that cafe, he didn't talk. Just keep his mouth shut. His face didn't show any expression, flat. He was not in a good mood.
No conversation. No music. The only thing i could hear was a car horn everywhere.
"2 shops again and turn right." I told him the way but he didn't listen to me again. His car passed the way to my house. He drove me to somewhere i even don't know.
"Uhm... You just passed the way to my house, sir." He didn't answer again. Keep driving his car.
"HEY !!" I shouted at him since he never listen to me.
"Wha- ah !!" He looks so shocked when i shouted at him. "I forgot that i bring you. Okay okay, let's go home now." And he drove his car back to my house with full speed.
"Slow down !!" He makes me very scared. He drove his car so fast and i had to thighten the seatbelt.
And we arrived at my house. His face still shows that he was not in a good mood. I never look his annoyed face, even though his face is annoying.
"Thank you"
He didn't listen to me again for the nth times.
"What's wrong with you ?"
He pouted his mouth like a 5-year-old.
"Nothing. I'm sorry. Bye. See you tomorrow." He exhaled a deep breath like a stress people. His face shows that he looks so disappointed of something.
Since that day, he always waiting for me outside the class. Break time or after class, he always there waiting for me. Some people believed i was dating him. Yes, i know i am his 'girl-friend', but not his 'girlfriend'.
He always like that for almost a month.
I put some of my things in my lockers, and i saw him stood behind my locker's door. My hand was ready to slap his annoying face because his so suddenly presence makes me shocked.
"Calm" he puts my hand down and pulled my arm.
The whole corridor was looking at us. They makes me scared. Their mouth are so mean. Their gaze are so scary. Their expression are so scary. I could hear a badwords came out from their mouth. That's why i am afraid become the center of attention.
"Let me go !" i slap his hands to remove his grip.
He stopped and removed his hands. He didn't say anything. He stood there like a statue in front of the library. Everytime i tried to see his face, he always tried to hide his face to avoid my gaze.
I patted his shoulder, but he slapped my hand. "What is wrong with you ? If i ever did something wrong with you, i am sorry !"
"Nothing"
"And ? What do you want ? I'll do what you say if that can makes you better."
"Go with me. I want to show you my 'secret' place".
"Allright, let's go. But, stop act like that again. You are not a kid anymore."
He smiles at me and pulled my arm again. His mood changed easily. Mad, happy, sad, repeat.
He takes me to the place i even don't know. It was so far away from the campus, took almost 1 hour to get there.
He takes me to a field somewhere in a village. It was so beautiful, since it's spring, and the cherry blossom was blooming.
The clear blue sky. The cotton clouds. The pink trees. The green grass mixed with fallen pink petals. The fresh air. The wind that blew my hair. And falling petals that makes it looks like a confetti.
My eyes widen and i didn't realized my jaw dropped. I was so amazed with this place. It's the first time i came to the beautiful place like this.
"Close your mouth" He lifted up my jaw.
"Welcome to my 'secret place'. My parents always brings me when i was a kid. When i'm bored, i come here alone to refresh my mind. Beautiful, isn't it ?"
I slowly nodded my head.
"Ah, it's just the beginning. You have to see the 'main points' here. Let's go" He takes me to the big tree on the hill.
He was right. I could see towns from up here. Everything looks so small. The tall buildings, the towers, every tall buildings looks so small from up here. The towns looks so pink because the cherry blossom trees.
He sat down and laying his back on the tree, and i'm following him sat beside him and laying my back.
I heard a humming. It was Ian. He was humming to a song titled 'I Like You'. My head slowly followed the rhythm. He pulled my head to his shoulder and embraced me.
It was the first time he acts like this. He never did this to me before. And for the first time, my heart pouring because of him. He still humming and it's getting louder.
His shoulder is the perfect place to lean my head. It feels so comfortable. His soft humming makes me feel sleepy, and i unconsciously fell asleep on his shoulder.
When i sleep, my breath getting deeper. So, if i inhale or exhale, it would be so loud.
"Let's go ba-" He was so surprised seeing me sleeping on his shoulder.
I feel something almost covered my face, and it makes me wake up. Ian's face was the first thing i saw, and his face was so close with me. I want to push him, but his face makes me i couldn't do that.
I've never seen his sleeping face before. His mouth slightly open and he breathing so deep and slow.
Somehow, i want to touch his cheeks. Trace his sharp nose. And...
My hands moved by itself and touched his cheeks. Moved to his nose, and went down to his lips.
He opened his eyes went i touched his lips, like an on-off button.
"Huh ? What are you doing ?" With his eyes half open his brain trying to loading.
"I'm sorry !!" I stood up and move away from him to hide this red face.
I feel so nervous. My heart pouring. My lips trembling. My cheeks hot. It's cold but i'm sweating. I need water to calm down myself.
Once again, i tried to see his face. The wind blew his hair back and i could see his forehead. His gaze looking the view, so soft. His small smile, so warm.
"Isn't it satisfying ?"
I nodded my head.
"Enough ? Let's go back."
I nodded my head, again.
He usually pulls my arm. But, this time, he holds my hands.
I want to explode. Even tough he often pulls my arm, but, holding hands... This is too much.
Along the trip, i just watched the car passed the trees. Trying to forget the silly things that happened. But, how could i forget that easily ? When i'm still with him, right now.
Ahh... I want to scream. If i have an anywhere door, i would leave him when he was sleeping.
"Ehm, btw..."
His words surprised me. I don't want to heard anything from him at this moment.
"I have something to tell you"
A confession time ?
