My safe place

chapter 6

RYUJIN POV

This weekend was beyond no doubt, the best weekend of my life. But then school had to come along, and ruin it. We both got up at 6 am, and I got in the shower. After I was done, she got in. I really wanted to peek, but knowing my luck I would get caught again. I decided to wear one of my usual band t-shirts. I picked out an Escape the fate shirt, and some black skinny jeans. I also wore my usual black converse. Most of the t-shirts I have are band shirts. I guess that's just part of my style. 

When Yeji got out of the shower, she was wearing a white shirt, and some blue skinny jeans. Even when she was wearing something so simple, she looked so attractive. She looked attractive in anything. And I bet she looked even more attractive when she was wearing nothing. But yeah I never said that shhh. 

After we were both done getting ready, we walked to school together. Once we got there, we both went our separate ways. 

She went to hang out with her group, and I went to hang out with Winter and Chaeryeong. We met at our usual spot, but I was just tuning out their conversation. I had too much on my mind. I was wondering if Yeji would just act like she didn't know me, or if she would actually acknowledge me. 

"You like her don't you?" Winter asked me, interrupting my train of thought. 

That question surprised me, and I wasn't really sure about the answer. Okay screw that, yes I was sure about the answer. I did like her, a lot. I've never liked someone before, so this is all new to me. 

"Who?" I asked her casually, but I already knew who she meant. 

"Don't play stupid.Ryujin..." 

Chaeryeong and Winter were both staring at me, waiting for my answer. 

"So what if I do...?" 

"Then you should go after her... It's obvious she likes you." Chaeryeong grinned. 

"She does not. You guys are just trying to make me feel better." I frowned. 

"Ryujin, she held your hand. Do I ever hold your hand? Does Chaeryeong ever hold your hand? No. Did she? Yes. Do we flirt with you? No. Does she? Yes." Winter rolled her eyes. 

Winter always had a way of being blunt with things. She was never afraid to speak the truth, even if that meant that it would hurt someone's feelings. 

Before I could even respond to that, the bell rang. It was time for the first period, and I had art. 

We were suppose to be drawing a landscape, but I couldn't focus. I kept doodling 'Y' and 'R+Y' over my paper. 

The bell rang for second period, and I shoved the paper in my backpack and left. Second period I had biology, third I had history, and fourth I had math. Finally it was 5th period, and time for lunch. 

I met Winter and Chaeryeong at our usual table inside of the cafeteria. We've sat at the same table since freshman year, and we're juniors now. We met there every day at lunch. 

We said our usual hellos to each other, and started eating. 

"Can I ask you something?"Chaeryeong looked at me curiously. 

"Sure... what is it?" 

"Are you like... a gay?" 

They both looked at me. I guess they had both been wondering about it. 

"Ryujin, as long as I have known you, I've never heard you say a guy is attractive."
Winter pointed out. 

I really don't find guys attractive, I've never really thought about it before though.
