8th December, 2011. It was a one fateful day for me. Because on that day, I met him. The boy who I never thought, would be so important. I was heading for a book festival, somewhere in Mid Valley. It was my first time heading there, alone on the KTM. This was where it began, I was listening to INFINITE's Amazing. Yes, I've fallen in love with Kim Myungsoo's voice. there I was, sitting quietly on my seat, Next to me? Is a boy. I could smell his Cologne. The way he dressed was rather simply but yet, stylish. His skin is pale His hair is slightly wavy but it looks good on him. just as I pulled out my earphone, I heard him rapped softly. Hiphop fan I supposed.
I peeked at his phone on his lap, he was listening to TOP. A famous Korean rapper in Korea. Is he a VIP? He could be. Maybe. Just then, the KTM stopped & an old lady entered. Without any second thoughts, I gave up my seat for her & held onto the pole in front. I stared at my feet for quite sometimes & when I felt my neck was going numb, I lifted my head a little & saw him staring at me with a smile . He was smiling at me, making my heart raced. I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing came out. I blushed, turning tomato red .
Again, I stared at my feet, avoiding his gaze but somehow, I got the feeling he was staring at me. I shut my eyes tightly & thump, I fell. Stupid KTM. it stopped abruptly that I feel on my knees, hitting my head on the pole slightly. That was so embarrassing. I could have cried . Of course, people stared at me but none helped. Which made it more embarrassing. I heard snickers & mocking from behind. Oh, them . The girls from my school. they never like me, not that it bothered me, I don't care anyway. They don't know me for who I am, When I'm about to cry in embarrassments, someone pulled me up by my shoulders. It was him. "You're okay?" He asked me. I couldn't say a word
He then, brushed the dust off my knees & held onto the poles with both of his hands. Me in between. Him, me, pole. "are you hurt?" I just shook my head & gripped the pole as well. Again, I heard the girls badmouthing me. I couldn't careless, I was just too embarrassed . "I don't know about her but badmouthing someone to embarrass them is just ain't cool." He snapped at the girls. What the? Why would he? . The girls were taken aback, I could tell that much since they were quiet all of the sudden. And so, we remained in the position like that,
That is until we reached KL Central, where I had to switch KTM. Was it KL central? I can't remember. Even so, I got off, so did he . I checked the schedule, apparently, I had to wait for another 45 minutes. The train was delayed. I sat down & fixed my hair. "quit that," . He suddenly sat behind me, leaning forward slightly. "you look beautiful already." I wasn't sure. was he being flirtatious? I turned my body around & met eyes with him for a brief moment. Those hazel brown eyes seemed to sparkle with honesty.
He smirked at me. "I think you look perfect already." He added, both elbows on his knees. I just shrugged. "I wanna look good" "you are" . I didn't know how to respond so I kept quiet. "where are you heading?" He asked me. "Mid valley." "oh? I'm heading there too, book festival" . I blinked in astonishment. "me too." I replied, unable to hide my excitement. When it comes to book, I couldn't stop spazzing about it . Right after that, we didn't converse at all. We just sat there in silence. Pretty much awkward huh? Gladly, the train arrived.
I hopped on. Ugh, how I wish I could drive to mid valley. It was packed & I can hardly breath. I was squished against the window, I tried to push the person behind me, but my attempt showed no reason. "someone please, save mehhhh" I pleaded in my head. I tried to push the person behind me, but my attempt showed no reason. "someone please, save mehhhh" I pleaded in my head. Both of his hand were on the metal, pushing himself back, shielding me against the crowd. I could see him through the tinted mirror.
"Kwon Jiyong." He introduced himself. "and you are?" "I'm married." "oh? To whom?" He squinted his eyes playfully. "to Kim Myungsoo," He just chuckled & went along with my silly game. "tell you what? Why don't you cheat on your husband with me?" He said, He leaned in slightly & THUD! His elbow hit against the metal. "sorry," he grunted in my ears. "MOVE BACK WILL YA?!" He yelled. Little did I know, back then, my heart was claimed by him. I just rolled my eyes & conversed with him more comfortably.
Apparently, we have a few things in common. Both of us were high schoolers, we both watch animes & kpop? Oh yeah, Soon enough, we've arrived. He held me by the forearm careful not to touch my skin, leading me out of the packed couch. "thanks." I breathed . He nodded & jammed both hands into his pocket. "Let's go. . .uhm, Uhh. . ." "what?" "name," "oh! Its ___." I introduced myself. "cute name," "Jiyong is a nice name too," I admitted. was it just me or he just blushed?usya be my imagination. The both lg us entered the mall,
So, there I was, thinking that we could find where the book festival was held but apparently, neither of us know where. Yeah, we got lost . "WHO BUILD THIS STUPID MALL ANYWAY?!" Jiyong burst out. I couldn't help but to laugh at him. He seemed so frustrated with surrounding . "chill down will you?" I chuckled. He spotted a guard. "wait here, I'll ask the Benggala" "LOL, okay?" I watched him shuffled away . After this & that, I figured that he found our where the festival was. Anyway, story cut short, we both bought our books. Well, he bought it . Yes, he bought my books without my knowledge. I was so shocked. I mean, the books I picked out weren't cheap. "I'll pay you back" I told him .
"let me send you home." He said, as we were already on our way back, in fact we reached the station already. No matter what I said, he insisted lb sending me home. "I can't let you walk alone. It's dangerous. A stranger could kidnap you." He said . I snorted at his words as we walk towards my house's direction. "letting a stranger to walk you home is no different either." .
"but I'm no stranger, I'm Kwon Jiyong." "still are to me." He frowned at my words. "fine, I'm Kwon Jiyong, I live around here too." I laughed at his actions. "I'm into music, in fact I'm taking music course too. I'm into fashion, simple fashion I mean. I'm not a stranger" I gave up. He won. "fine fine, you're not." He hopped & sped up, walking backwards in front of me. "We'll be more than strangers, soon" We arrived at my house, "so yeah, my house. . ." I said sheepishly. He took out his phone. "gimme yours," "oh, I don't have a phone."
"SERIOUSLY?!" "yeah," I said. I didn't have a phone yet back then. "You're not lying?" "why would I?" "you're sure?" "yeah," "okay," Instead, I gave him my house phone number which was so uncool. I could slap myself for not having a phone back then, "I'll call ya tonight" He backed away slowly & did as curtsey. "very well Juliette, apart we shall. Until Romeo! Call you tonight!" He said classically,
A week later, I got a call. No, not from Jiyong. He called me every single day & didn't miss to answer him. within the one week, We grew closer & I found out that he didn't know on how to ride a bike. He tossed my bike aside because he kept on falling. Anyway, this call I had was from my best friend Yongguk. "yo?" "oh God, ___!! You gotta help me, I'm in deep shit" "what?!" Just for your information, yongguk was my craziest best friend. we had been classmates since we were 13. He was important to me, as a friend . I didn't think much so I rushed out of my house after hearing Yongguk's pleasing to come over to his house. Who cares if I'm still in my PJ .
He then, brushed the dust off my knees & held onto the poles with both of his hands. Me in between. Him, me, pole. "are you hurt?" I just shook my head & gripped the pole as well. Again, I heard the girls badmouthing me. I couldn't careless, I was just too embarrassed . "I don't know about her but badmouthing someone to embarrass them is just ain't cool."

I didn't think much so I rushed out of my house after hearing Yongguk's pleasing to come over to his house. Who cares if I'm still in my PJ .
My best friends needed my help, I couldn't careless with people staring at me running with my messy hair & pajamas on on the street. When I arrived at his house, the gate was open & there he was, waving happily at me. "is he really in trouble?" I murmured. Next to him, stood a familiar looking boy. His hair was a mess & he didn't look happy since he looked a bit cranky. "you're here!" Yongguk cheered & suddenly handed me a brush. "I need your help to clean up the porch." "you're not in deep shit?" I gritted my teeth .
"I will be if my mum comes back & the porch is still dirty." "oh, you're already in deep shit." I sworn I could've choke him . "___?" A familiar voice called my name. Oh gorsh! It's Jiyong! "you two know each other?" Yongguk blinked. "well, yeah," I said, "I met her in the KTM," Jiyong explained. "so when you said ___, you mean her?! Haha, you had been talki-ooof!!" Jiyong covered his mouth.
"ha-ha, let's get started." Jiyong quickly walks over to the pail & filled it with soap & water. So the porch washing went on for 2 hours . Well, both me & yongguk played Harry potter & he slipped. Pulling me down as well & I fell besides him. Jiyong helped me up, We were done anyway, so Jiyong pulled me inside the house. "you're soaking wet." He said, without looking at me. "ah yeah." "let's go up to my room." He pulled me. "what for?" I asked, "you can't go home like that, can you?" I guess not . It was a surprise to me. His room was so clean, unlike Yongguk's. "you're his friend?" I asked as he went through his closet. "Cousin." "ah," he tossed me a towel & placed a plain shirt on the bed with a pair of sweat pants. "I'll be outside."
"okay. . ." I just nodded. "ah, don't worry, I won't peek. I'm not yongguk. Not that I will, but yeah, please, do change." He blabber . "you can lock the door too," he said, assuring me that he won't peek. I just chuckled & nodded. "okay, okay, I got it." I said. With a soft click, he closed the door behind him, leaving me alone in his room to change. I looked around for a minute, at his desk, He writes songs, I looked at the chords. "ah, he's a guitarist huh?" Another thing we have in common. And so, I changed into his clothes. it smelled just like him. Though, the shirt is a little too big. "you need anything else?" He asked .
"ah, no! I'm done!" I said, opening the door. "it's too big." "it's fine." I replied quickly. "you look so small. I'm gonna change" . He took a step inside ."yongguk's downstairs, he made breakfast for you." "oh, thanks." I said, heading downstairs towards the kitchen . I settled on the stool while yongguk poured me a glass of milk. "I didn't know you guys are friends." He said, nodding his disapprovingly . "I didn't know that you two are cousins." "he talks a lot about you." "really?" "yeah, you do this, you do that, you love this & that" . I took a bite at my sandwich. "so. . .is he taken?" Yongguk smirked. "why don't you ask him that?" "pfft, no way." "just ask him." "no uh,"
"Jiyong, he doesn't talk much about himself." I said, "no doubt, his parents doesn't want him. Kinda. Mom took him in." My jaw dropped . Yongguk smiled faintly. "he used to be a bit wild, spent three days behind the bars." "whoah," "yeah, but ya know, he's not a bad person" . "he'll be attending our school next year," yongguk said. "will be staying with us for a long time. That is if his parents want him back" . "they just threw Jiyong out like that?" "his parents are strict, but yeah, I hate them too. They won't listen anyway." "that's bad,"
"tell me about it, he got slapped because he brought me out to eat." "the hell?" "yeah, that was his life back then but here," "yo!" . Jiyong suddenly appeared & out conversation stopped. yongguk looked at Jiyong with a wide grin, a brotherly kind. "take her home, we won't have any food is she stays here any longer." Yongguk said. "hey!" I stomped on his foot & he yelped . "haha, ignore him ___" Jiyong said. I looked at yongguk for one last time & he hugged himself, turned his back on me & made smooch noises. "ugh, yongguk, get a girl." "you get a girl." He shot back at Jiyong. And so, the two of us walked out of the house, starting for mine . At first, we walked in silence. "hey. . ." We said at the same time, "you first," "no no, you." Silence erupted again. "I.. . ." "I-"
"okay, why don't we say this at the same time?" I suggested. "good idea." "on the count of three. One, two .three" . "I heard about you from yongguk," "I like you." "huh?" "huh?" "what did you say?" "what?" We both were lost at words . He took a deep breath & looked at me in the eyes. " I said I like you. Since the first time we've met, I like you." I blinked . "I. . ." "I'm not a good guy." He added. "Jiyong, wait." "if you rejects me, I can totally understand." "I'm not-" "we can be friends" .
He opened his mouth to say more but I smacked him by the head. "shuddup & lemme talk, stupid." I puffed my fringe. "you're rejecting me" . "listen to me." I frowned. "the queen has spoken." He lowered his head. "I know about it. I mean, you've been behind the bars and all" . "and still let me sent you home? Aren't you scared?" "should I?" I tilted my head innocently, almost mocking the guy. "maybe" he shrugged . "maybe not." I smiled at him. "I know it's only a week since we've met but we spent countless hours together." I blushed & continued .
"I will be if my mum comes back & the porch is still dirty." "oh, you're already in deep shit." I sworn I could've choke him . "___?" A familiar voice called my name. Oh gorsh! It's Jiyong! "you two know each other?" Yongguk blinked. "well, yeah," I said, "I met her in the KTM," Jiyong explained. "so when you said ___, you mean her?! Haha, you had been talki-ooof!!"

I blushed & continued .
"who cares if you used to go to jail. That's all in the past," I said. "you don't care?" "I don't because this Jiyong right now is kind." . "he's silly, he can't ride a bike too, he loves to share his food." "correction. Only with the girl he likes." I smiled at his words. "right, and I only with the boy I liked." He smirked at me. "i didn't hear you." He said, leaning in closer. "I said with the boy I like" . "what?" He grinned, "nothing." "oh well," he walked away. "ah, ah, wait" I chased him & tugged his shirt. "I'll say it again."
He turned around with that mischievous grin. "say it loud & clear." I rolled my eyes. "I love Kwon Jiyon-" "I LOVE YOU TOO!!" He laughed.
THE END
He turned around with that mischievous grin. "say it loud & clear." I rolled my eyes. "I love Kwon Jiyon-" "I LOVE YOU TOO!!" He laughed.
