May 31 Tuesday Year 1
Walking to class, someone brushes against me.
I turn my head to find Beomgyu, smirking pridefully. He walks backwards, hands carrying his laptop and headphones.
"Hey!" His voice cracks with his small laugh. "It's been a long time."
I return a smile. "It has!"
His hair falls over his eyes, and he blinks it aside. "Next semester, we'll see each other a lot."
I hold my hands together by my mouth, "I hope I won't bother you." It'll be my first time joining a club and I'm pretty nervous, but I'm thankful that I'll know someone.
"What?" He scrunches his face. "You could never. Believe me."
Grateful, I smile.
"Seolli!" A cheerful voice comes from behind me and I turn to see Taehyung sitting in the lounge.
My face lights up in surprise. Taehyung!
He glances over at Beomgyu, noticing him as if for the first time.
Beomgyu sheepishly waves, "See you, Seolli."
I lift my hand to wave but he was already walking away.
Never would I have imagined that I would be excited to meet a friend in a school activity. While I dreaded the change coming after this semester, at least I was reassured that I wouldn't be alone.
Walking up to Taehyung, I beam. "Hi."
He scrunches his nose in a smile. "If I told you to only look at me this way, would you?"
"Hm?" I tilt my head, trying to understand what he means.
He closes his eyes and gives a little shake of his head, still smiling. "Nothing. I'm being selfish. Are you ready for this exam?"
"I-I hope so," I whisper, "I prepared notes to study. Hm? You aren't studying?"
I have a seat, peering at the book open on his lap, the page annotated with his notes. He leans it over my way to view it better, "I should be, but I'm studying for something else."
"It's poetry..." I read the poem, more impressed with his interpretation.
He blushes and nods. "Studying more poems will help me write better lyrics."
"Can I hear them some time? Your songs?" I find myself asking, remembering how beautiful the last one was.
"Of course," He whispers back, "When I make more, I want you o be the first to hear it."
My heart flutters, and all I could do is look down to what he's highlighted.
In the warmth of dear's embrace, The universe reveals its grace. For in the best wishes of the one you adore, Lies the wealth of forevermore.
It's a poem telling how beautiful and strong a love can be, right? With it, what more can you ask for?
Will I be fortunate enough to have that one day?
"Seolli, for this exam, can I ask you for one thing?" Taehyung drums his fingers against his mouth.
I blink out of my daze, and look at him.
"Can you give me some best wishes for the exam today?"
