Minju's POV

"chae... you've been avoiding me, haven't you? why?" I ask sadly to her. "because I hurt you," she replied not looking back at me.

"I'm not hurt. I thought I was the one who hurt you. but it's hard now, cause you didn't talk to me as we used to today. I don't care if I get hurt or we fight. I just want to talk to you. it's my fault. I'm sorry, chae."

"it's not your fault, minmin," she wraps her mint-coloured scarf around my neck. "I was weak. so I ran away. I was afraid I would hurt you and become something I hated. I didn't want you to hate me, so I wouldn't get close to you," she continues.

she walks closer to me before pulling me into her embrace.she hugs me tightly with one of her arms on my back and the other free hand to stroke my hair softly.

"I'm sorry for always lying to you. the truth is, I did want your chocolate you've made earlier during the cooking class. when you asked me to walk home together, I was thrilled. when you keep trying to talk to me, I was so happy. to be honest, I want to be with you, minmin. I love you," she softly muttered under her breath as she rests her chin on top of my head.

hugging her tighter than before with both of my arms wrapping around her skinny waist and my head resting on her chest listening to her heartbeat like it was a melody.

"I love you too, chae. to be honest, I want to go out with you too. I wanna do all the things that couples do with you. whenever I saw couples, I couldn't help but to wonder what would we look like when we are together as a couple, not as a friend," I said with all my heart.

"I felt like I knew you, but I really knew nothing about you at all. so I wanna know more about you. what you enjoy doing, what makes you happy, what I can say that would please you. I wanna know all about it. I want to be close to you so I can help you whenever you need it," I continue to say.

"When I said that I can't date anymore because I don't want to hurt anyone, I was lying. I don't mind dating you right now. I couldn't properly confess at that time and you are probably confused with what we are right now. so let's confirm it right now," she breaks the hug by holding onto my shoulder.

"would you, Kim Minju, to take Kim Chaewon, as your girlfriend, right now and forever?" she looks at me with full anticipation and hopes.

"I, Kim Minju, will take Kim Chaewon, as my girlfriend, right now and forever," I gave out an eye smile to her as I couldn't contain the happiness within me right now.

listening to my acceptance to her confession, she immediately carries me by the waist and swirls me around. never have I thought that chaewon is this strength to carry a heavy woman like me.

by the time she finally let me down, my head already feel dizzy and everything around me is spinning. just then, she cups my face with both of her hands pulling my face closer to her so she can give me a kiss on the lips. this time, it felt more passionate and softer than the last time we've kissed.

"KIM CHAEEE!!" a loud voice, I assume its yena, scream from the above. I think it's from our classroom. when we look up to the classroom's window, as expected we saw the whole group there looking at us with a smile on the face.

"DID SHE ACCEPTS YOU?!" yena scream once more. chaewon suddenly walk towards a place where they can see us clearly, of course, she drags me too with my arm on top of my shoulder.

she stops from her pace and so did I, and began to do the 'O' sign with both of her arm replying yena's question. at the same time, she does that, she pecks my cheek in front of them giggling at how flustered and shocked I am with her sudden action. 

Yujin's POV

after the whole encounter with chaewon with minju confirming their relationship with us, I couldn't help but feel heavy and sad inside. but at the same time, I feel relief and happy about it.

for the first time, I manage to push them to be together as what the future wants me to do. she wants them to be together. they're meant to be together and I promise to not let them break apart or let anything to get in their way.

I may have felt heartbroken about it, but seeing how oblivious and stupid they are with their feelings, is more frustrated to watch. especially not when they act like a couple when they're together but still won't admit their feelings.

"are you about this," eunbi asks directly at me with worry in her voice. we are in this empty classroom along with yena and yuri. chaewon and minju had probably gone somewhere to date. there are no students at this time too. so it's the best time for us to talk among each other right now.

"my letter said that if I told her about how I feel about her that time, she'd turn me down. but I'm not regretting anything right now. my future self is already living her dream," I lean against one of the tables with my palm resting on the surface of the table.

"I'm fine with how things worked out. this world exists so that chaewon can be happy. I understand how devoted to this you are, so don't tell either chaewon or minju about anything. about us being married all that," I sigh with my eyes closed.

"right now, I'm more worried about chaewon. let's focus on chaewon before talking about anything else first," yuri said with her arm crossed, sitting quietly on one of the chairs behind me. "it's tomorrow."
