i gasping for air. "yahh, why you bring me here? ah she well get mad." i glanced at Johnny.


"it just..i'm boring." he looked away.


i milled around the room. we rarely go into the music room.


"why you're not in class?" i sat down in front of the piano.


"uh? ah i just want go to washroom. then, why are you outside?" he walked toward me.


"jeez. i've been punished." i touched the piano keys. "why? you're not focused in class?"


"it because of i've been thinking about-" i stop when i realized i almost want to tell him the reason i have been punished.  "ah forget it."


he sat next to me. "you know how to play this?" he looked at me. "a little."


suddenly he pressed the piano keys, produce a sound. he was playing the piano.


i was like been hypnotized. he's so good. like a professional.


"woah! that's really no joke huh. you're so good. since when you start to play the piano?"


"since i was little." he smiled.


he was smiling. he smiled. HE.SMILE.


my eyes were glued on him.


"why you look me like that?"


i blinks my eyes a few times. "huh? oh, sorry. just i'm happy to you smile. you were smiling. its like my first or second time seeing your smiling face."


i grinned as his smile faded away.


i raised my eyebrows, "why? did i said something wrong? i think you should smile often." i smiled.


he chuckled. now he chuckled. damn. so perfect.


my heart beats fast.


i fake cough, "i think i have to go. huehue." i get up. "urm bye. see you soon." i pat on his shoulder.


i stepped out of the room. as i closed the door i lean on the door. i held on my chest.
i think i have fall for him. no. i have already fall for him.

"thank you"  i paid for the drinks. 


"yah kim jae eun! don't wanna sit with us?" yuta called me while his hand in the air. i looked at yuta's direction and others. 


i shook my head. "i have another thing to do. bye!" i waved at them and walked away from canteen.


i walked toward shady tree where there is a bench.


i sat on the bench. let out a heavy breath.

"jae eun? what are you doing here? can i sit with you?"


i looked at his direction. Johnny?


"oh Johnny. heuheu, nothing. i was resting. huh? alright." i smiled.


"why you didn't rest with them?" he sat next to me.


"erm cuz i  want to spend my time here. i guess." i fake laugh. he looked at me. weirdly.


"ehm what are you doing here?" i look away.


"to spend my time with you." he said, without a doubt. i looked at him. the wind blows.


"i do like you too.." i mumbled.


"huh? what?"


i look surprised, "uh nothing." i blushed.


"i like your cake." he said. change the topic.


"really? is it yummy?" i asked excitedly. he nod. "i hope i can eat your cake again." he mumbled something.


"sorry?"


he shook his head and smiled. he smile again. i'm melted.


the bell ringing. recess time was over. no i want to spend my time with his again.

as i walk out of the building, suddenly it's rain.


i step in the building back. "ah why there was always raining when i didn't bring umbrella."


i sat on the stairs. looking at the rain. i sing a part of iu song (through the night).


"you have a good voice tho." i turn my head, looked at my back. "you didn't go home yet?"


"i have something to do." he set his place next to me. "you don't want to go now?"


"luckily i didn't bring the umbrella. so let's wait until the rain stop."


"luckily?"


"we can spend our time together." he smiled. i'm weak.


i look forward again. "urm if you don't mind, i would like to ask you something." he looked at me while he moved his hands out, let his hand wet with rain, "hm?"


i cleared my throat. "why do you like me? i mean it's all of sudden."


he chuckled, "you really want to know?" i nod. i looked at him with high hope he will tell me. he looked at me back. my heart began to rhythmically, what i mean is my heart start beating fast. it's normal right?


i expect him to give an answer but he come closer to me. "just let me only one knows why i like you." he whipered. 


i sighed. i thought he want do something to me, urm like before. 


about 25min we wait for the rain to stop. "i guess we can go now. your mom must waiting for you"


i looked up to the sky. only drizzle. i nod. "let's go." we both stand up and walk together. i accidently looked at his back. umbrella? then i looked forward back. never mind. think positive.
