1.5

the class was presenting the group projects we were assigned,
and to my surprise,
he came up to present his.
at first he spoke so quietly,
i thought he was only speaking to me.
i thought it was cute.
he stumbled on a couple words.
i wanted to tell him he was doing a good job, and
that i was proud of him for getting up in front of the class for the first time.
but
all i could do was smile and nod along.
and i think he seemed to notice me, for
he too, began to smile.
he spoke louder and with more confidence.
i think he said his name was jimin.
what a cute and short name,
just like him.
"good job jimin,"
i whispered as he passed me on his way back to his seat.
i don't think he heard me.
