Months go by fast. Ni-ki and I are still good friends. Probably close friends. I still haven't got the chance to ask him out yet. I'm scared to do so as I didn't want to ruin our friendship since we only recently started to be friends.

We still go to the art club and design new creative things we love. We also compliment each other on how well we design stuff.

Ava and I are still best friends no doubt and still love each other equally.

"Ni-ki wanna hang out today? I'm not busy." I asked shyly hoping for him to accept.

"Like a date?" He asked in a serious voice.

"I mean... if you want to?" I also said shyly and smiling at him.

"Are you asking me to be your boyfriend?" He asked in confusion.

"Yes.." I reply not looking at him.

He stopped for a moment to process what I just said to him and looked at me with a serious face.

I was scared to get rejected. I have been rejected for the past few years by him and I don't want to get heartbroken ever again.

"Look Sofi I-"

"If you're going to reject me, don't say anything please I don't want to hear it!" I shouted looking backwards.

"..."

And there was silence. I knew he would reject me again but still took a big risk. Before I started to cry; I immediately ran out of the classroom not looking backwards and holding onto my tears for dear life.

Before I could even reach the door I felt a touch on my wrist. It was Ni-ki holding me back. I didn't want to look at him because I was crying and didn't want him to tease me about it.

"Yah! Stop crying!"

"Oppa! You're a bad person!" I shouted whilst crying and proceeded to hit him gently whilst my head leaning on his chest. I hugged him and let my tears fall out. Luckily, Ni-ki was super understanding so he let me hug him tight.

"I'm sorry." He replied, gradually patting me on the back whilst I still cry on him.

Today was not the day I guess. Maybe I could try next time.

"Listen, I wasn't going to reject you. You didn't even let me speak that's why you thought I rejected you." He said, slightly pushing me away to get me to look at him.

"Jinjja?" I asked still sniffing.

"Of course!"

"So you want to go out with me?" I reassured, wiping my tears and smiling hard.

"If you really want to then yes!" He responded smiling with joy.

"Oppa jinjja saranghe!" I proceeded to say whilst hugging him so tight not letting go.

"Me too.." he calmly responded.

We both lean in for a kiss. The kiss was so romantic that I fell even harder for him. I loved him so much!

***

And so we went on dates every single weekend. I enjoyed every bit of time I spent with him. I loved him so much and he loved me too! He's not an old person like he used to be. Could he have changed for the better for my sake?

This brings the story to an end with a happy couple smiling every time. Thank you so much for taking up your time to read this!
