Kang Seulgi's POV

I am too nervous as I entered the room. A woman welcomed me. I guess she is the instructor for the day.

"Hi" She smiled widely. "I am Yoo Jihye. I will be your ballet instructor from now on." She held my hand. "What's your name?" She kindly ask.

"Kang Seulgi" I shyly stated.

"Nice to meet you Seulgi." She stated while gently smiling at me.

She then led me to where the other kids are. There are three guys and two girls. I guess we are of similar age. If not, perhaps just a one or two year age gap.

Teacher Jihye clapped her hand to gain our attention and to formally start the class.

I wiped my sweat dripping on my face.

Ballet is difficult but it was fun.

It was the only lesson for the day.

I went to the bathroom and get changed to clean clothes.

After changing, I sat on the bench waiting for my mom to pick me up.

"Hi." The boy that looks familiar greeted me.

"Hi." I shyly replied. I remember him now. He is one of my co trainee on the ballet class earlier. I was so into learning ballet that I did not put so much focus on my co trainees.

"Waiting for your dad?" He asked.

I shyly shake my head. "Waiting for my mom." I looked at him. "You?" I shyly asked.

"Same. I am waiting for my mom." He replied.

The rest of the other trainees have left we were the only one remaining.

The room was silent.

It was somehow awkward.

I do not know if he felt it but I do.

"Im Kim Jong-in." He broke the silence. He extended his hand on me.

I subconsciously bit my lip. I shyly looked at him. I checked if my hands are clean and accepted his extended hand. "I'm Kang Seulgi."

"Nice to meet you Seulgi." He smiled.

I shyly looked at him. "Nice to meet you Jongin."

He smiled.

I averted my gaze at him.

I felt a little bit awkward I guess.

My mom came.

I smiled brightly.

"Did you wait long?" My mom asked.

I strongly shake my head.

She extended her hand to me. "Let's go."

I reached out to her.

We were near the door when I looked back and saw Jongin.

He seemed a little bit sad.

Perhaps he will be bored now that he is all alone.

I pressed my mom's hands. "Wait for a moment Mom."

I run towards Jongin.

He noticed me approaching him.

He smiled. "Why? Did you forget something?"

I shake my head. I shyly opened my bag and handed him my favorite snacks 'Pringles'.

He seemed shocked.

I genuinely smiled at him while encouraging him to take the Pringles. "Thank you for talking to me."

He smiled. He get the Pringles.

"See you tomorrow." He stated.

I brightly nodded. "See you."

I waved him goodbye.

"Thanks for the Pringles" He shouted.

I looked at my mom. I blushed a bit because of the 'what does that mean' look my mom gave me.

Perhaps my mother was surprised that I gave Jongin my fave snack. I never gave my brother my snacks. I often hit him whenever he eats my food. But for some reason I shared it to Jongin. I honestly do not know why I did that. I just felt like doing it.

I turned back and looked at Jongin.

I smiled seeing him enjoying the Pringles I gave him.

Looks like he won't be bored for a while.

With that in mind, I rushed to my mom and head home.

Today I made a friend and for some reason I am very happy.
