Development. (1/1)

“I think I’m in love.” EunAe said with a tint of pink on her cheek.“Really? With who?” Chae said acting all excited for EunAe, which she is but also feeling sad for Ljoe.“You know the guy we bumped into when school year just begun?” EunAe hinted Chae. “Kim Myungsoo, he registered into badminton club today and guess what?”“What?” Chae asked trying to stop EunAe from squealing any louder.“He was my practice partner!!!” EunAe said while jumping on Chae’s bed.“Oh, so are you sure it’s love and not infatuation?” Chae asked sarcastically while she raised a brow at EunAe. To be honest, she really hoped it was infatuation that made EunAe act like this. She genuinely wanted EunAe and Ljoe to be together.“There’s no way its infatuation!” EunAe raised her index finger in front of Chae’s face and moved it left to right, right to left. “Whenever I see him, my heart flutters, my palms starts sweating, my gaze will only be on him and when those stupid fangirls squeal at him, I would get super, super mad!!!”“What about Ljoe oppa?” Chae murmured under her breath as her shoulders sank.“What did you say?” EunAe asked, unable to catch what Chae whispered to herself a few seconds ago.“Nothing.” Chae faked a smile. “So, is that Mingsoo guy, nice?” Chae then asked.“IT’S MYUNGSOO! M-y-u-n-g-s-o-o!! Not Mingsoo!!” EunAe flared at her. “And of course he is nice!!! With that angelic face he has, how can he not be nice!?”*Oh boy.” Chae thought to herself while she blew her bangs and inwardly face palmed herself.“If you say so.” Chae shrugged. “EunAe ah, are you going to tell Ljoe oppa?” Chae then asked.“Of course! Ljoe oppa should know too!” EunAe beamed. “I just decided to tell you first because it’s easier to tell a girl-friend than a boy-friend.”“Andwae!!” Chae shouted reflexively.“Why?” EunAe tilt her head in confusion.“Uh...You know how Ljoe oppa is. He teases people so much that, that person would rather die than to live!” Chae explained insensitively. “Especially you! Didn’t you notice how his target is always you!?”“You’re right!” EunAe gasped. “If Ljoe oppa were to know, he’d probably spread it to the whole school!”“Yeah!” Chae nodded vigorously. “So don’t tell oppa okay?”“I won’t!” EunAe made an ‘X’ sign with both her arms. “Just thinking about L oppa knowing my secret scares me!”“Yup. So don’t tell anyone okay!?” Chae repeated her question.“Yeah, I won’t. Don’t worry.” EunAe reassured Chae.“By the way, who’s L oppa?” Chae asked innocently.“L is Myungsoo’s nickname, silly!” EunAe giggled at Chae’s silliness.*Isn’t Myungsoo a good enough name? Why L?* Chae thought to herself.“Com’on, let’s go downstairs and see Ljoe oppa!” EunAe said.“Okay.” Chae replied as she followed EunAe down.*Mianhae Ljoe oppa. Guess this will be the first time we hide something from you. But I really have no choice! I don’t want you to get hurt.* Chae thought to herself.  “Yo Myunggie!!!” Sungyeol prop himself next to L whom was just staring out the window thoughtfully. “What is my hubbie thinking about?”“Aish! I’m not your hubbie!” L declared.“How can you be so mean!?” Sungyeol cried phonily. “So does this mean…It’s an unrequited love!!!???” Sungyeol cried out dramatically and all L did was push him away.“But seriously, what were you thinking about?” caring leader Sunggyu asked.“Nothing much.” Myungsoo said.The truth was, L had been thinking about Chae the whole time. He didn’t know why but Chae seem to give out a different vibe than other people. L can’t seem to explain how different that ‘vibe’ was but it was definitely one of a kind. He had never seen eyes like Chae’s before. Sure they were plain but it was the emotionless and unreadable feeling Chae gives out. L could easily read one’s character base on their eyes. He could tell whether the people he meets are good intentioned people or bad intentioned ones, it’s like some kind of sixth sense some people have and some don’t.In this case, Chae was different. He had been observing Chae these few weeks ever since school started. He noticed how she followed her friends EunAe and Ljoe closely everywhere they go, how she sometimes get left out and ignored, how she always looked at her friends admirably and gratefully. She was different, very different. He noted how Chae doesn’t bother trying to fit in with the popular students since her friends are and yet she is being liked and accepted by the way she was. Technically, the populars didn’t exactly speak to her but hey, she isn’t bullied or teased by any of them. The best part was she is a naïve, innocent and pure looking girl. She appeared harmless and just like to how Ljoe felt when he first met Chae, L too wanted to protect and help her.The only thing he didn’t catch was. Her name. *sigh*Ridiculous right? He learned Ljoe’s and EunAe’s name for they are popular after all. But he had failed to learn Chae’s name and yet he dare say he admires her. Tsk.  “Chae quickly!” EunAe said jumpily. “QUICKLY!!”“Okay, okay!” Chae ran out of her house with her necktie still undone. “What is all the commotion about?”“L and his friends will arrive at school at exactly 7:35 am! We need to be there before they do!” EunAe said while pointing at her wrist watch.*Wow first Ljoe, then EunAe? Will love really turn someone normal into a weird stalker?* Chae shook her head, erasing that thought.The girls reached school at exactly 7:34 am and true enough, Infinite wasn’t there yet. Chae huffed and puffed lacking of oxygen. Unlike EunAe, Chae is TERRIBLE at sports. Having her run to school is torture!“5. 4. 3. 2………..1” EunAe counted while looking at her wrist watch. After she had counted to 1, EunAe pointed at the direction where cars usually drove by and scary as it is, Infinite’s van really did appeared at exactly 7:35am sharp.*God. Remind me to never fall in love!* Chae’s eyes widen to 3 centimetres in length, just joking, and in that instance she immediately got goose bumps running through all parts of her body.  “Okay boys, I’ll see ya this afternoon. Bye and study hard!” The driver said to Infinite.“Ne, hyung. Bye!” Sungjong waved cutely as he opened the car door to see swarms of girls crowding their van.“Sunggyu hyung, you go first!” Sungjong then hid behind fierce GyuGeeGee and Sunggyu rolled his eye.As they were coming out of the van one by one, L soon noticed Chae that was standing next to EunAe in front of the school gate. To L, it doesn’t seem like they were fangirling Infinite.*Could they be waiting for Teen Top?* L thought to himself. He had observed that both Chae and EunAe would usually wait for Teen Top’s arrival at that area.It truly made L’s day to see Chae first thing in the morning. He was in a different class as Chae therefore the only time he could sneak glances at Chae was during break time and when he had to pass by her class to go to the male’s restroom. Sometimes, when L had to pass by Chae’s class to go pee, he would deliberately take his sweet time and sneak extra glances at her.Hence, by doing this too often, he soon noted quite a few features about her. For example, Chae had bangs that reached below her eyebrows, covering half her eyes plus, her hair was naturally black and wavy. She didn’t wear glasses so that makes her not at all nerdy looking. To top that off, her skin is flawless. The only sad thing was she is shorter than most girls, she also lack style in her attire and she somehow got used to slouching. No, no, no, slouching is one very bad habit for a girl to keep. L bet a dozen bucks that if she dresses up a little more, she would look heavenly. Weird how male students didn’t see what a beauty Chae can be? Could it be because of EunAe’s overwhelming beauty that covered Chae’s existence?L unconsciously made his way over to EunAe and Chae that was just standing there. They were both pretending to wait for Teen Top. The truth was, Chae was the only one with the intention of really waiting for Teen Top while EunAe just wanted to see her crush.“You.” L said. “What’s your name?” he then bluntly asked unaware about the glares the fangirls were giving.“Me?” EunAe answered thinking it was her that L was talking to.“Uh, n-“ Before L could correct EunAe’s misunderstanding,“I’m Goo EunAe.” She cut in. “Nice to meet you Myungsoo ssi.” She beamed sweetly at the heartthrob of Infinite.“Dude, what’re you doing? We’ve gotta go!” Hoya came in and dragged Myungsoo away.Myungsoo’s gaze still didn’t leave Chae. He was staring at her, hoping he could memorize her features more while Hoya forcefully dragged him away, his heart was pounding faster and faster. The more he looked at her, the more he wanted to get closer to her.*Why am I feeling this way?* he thought to himself.“Kyaaa.” EunAe squealed quietly. “Did you see that Chae!?”“Yeah, it was kinda hard to miss.” Chae said while she rolled her eyes at EunAe’s reaction.“Oh My Gwad. I can literally die now!” EunAe fanned herself with her hand.“Well don’t! I still want you alive!” Chae joked.“Hehehe, I won’t die so soon. Especially now that I know Myungsoo is a bit interested in me!” EunAe grinned.“Ljoe too.” Chae mumbled under her breath.“What?” EunAe asked, once again she had failed to catch what Chae said.“Nothing, nothing.” Chae shrugged.*If only you knew!* Chae thought to herself as she sighed inwardly.  Sorry about this shameless advertising but if you’re interested, please ready my 3rd fanfic[click here!]
