Older, same age, younger
(Jimin's point of view)
D-day.
"...Phew, I'm shaking."
It's now 6:30 a.m. Perhaps because it's the day of my confession, I woke up early. I was worried that the confession would make my heart race and burst out of my chest. I sat on the bed, buried my face in my hands, and stayed there for a while. I'd prepared, but... I didn't know if I'd succeed, and tears welled up in my eyes. Still, I'd waited countless times for this day, so I'm going to muster up the courage.
"Park Jimin, peekaboo~!! Look at our Min-i noona."
"I told you not to treat me like a baby..."
"What should I do with something so cute lol"
Yoon Yeo-ju teased me, saying I was cute without knowing anything. I wondered what to do with this little girl, but then I made a promise to myself. I'll just wait and see.
"Um... Is around 6 o'clock okay?"
"Huh? I have a team project with the kids at 6 o'clock."
"Ah... when will it end?"
"Around 8 or 9? But why?"
"Then see you then."
"Uh, well... okay."
The heroine, seeing my sudden seriousness, said, "Okay," and stormed off into the classroom. So I went too... Perhaps because I'd woken up so early, I fell asleep before I knew it. When I opened my eyes, it was the end of the school day. I stretched, my face half-asleep. I read the note on my desk...
'I'll go first~ See you at 9, Park Jim.'
"Oh, crazy..."
Shouldn't I have taken her? Unable to bear the slightest hint of sleepiness, he was disappointed in me for sleeping soundly. It's okay... It's okay. But that was only for a moment, and soon he said he was fine, and just walked back and forth near the cafe where Yeoju was until 9 o'clock, waiting for her.
Current time, 9 o'clock.
As the time drew near, my lips grew parched. I'd received a confession in my 18 years of life, but never actually done it. Besides, this might be my first love, and the first person I'd ever had a crush on was the female lead I'd long admired. Unaware of my own feelings, she stood up, apparently finished with her homework. I wiped the sweat from my hands on my pants and walked over to her as she emerged from the cafe.
"Oh, what is it? Park Jimin~ You came right on time."
"I'm usually good at making appointments. Unlike you, lol"
"Wow... this is totally awesome."
Fortunately, I felt a little better after I pulled myself together. I said hello to the friends who had done the assignment with Yeoju, and as we walked side by side, chatting, Yeoju asked me a question.
"But why did you ask to see me?"
"Uh, uh...?"
"No, well... I'm used to you always taking me there, but I wonder what's wrong with asking for my time."
"Ah... that's..."
"What is it-"
"Ugh..."
"What??"
"Oh, I'm so embarrassed. There are so many people, and it's not like it's a public confession." I muttered something vaguely, but the woman's head was filled with questions. I gently grabbed her wrist and led her down the alleyway leading home.
"No, Chick. What did you say?"
"...I like you."
"Huh?"
"Yoon Yeo-ju, I like you."
After I spoke, my heart was pounding like crazy, and my ears were red and hot... But I felt a little better because I spoke my mind... Why wasn't there anything to say? When I opened my eyes, which had been tightly shut in embarrassment, the female lead's face was already close to mine, tiptoeing.
"...me too."
Jok-, before I could even think, Yoon Yeo-ju kissed me on the cheek and ran over. My body was frozen for a while so I couldn't move, but when I remembered the words '...me too.', my face flushed. Ah, crazy... kiss on the cheek...!!!

Park Jimin ♥︎ Yoon Yeo-joo
I'm so late, everyone... I'm sorry. I tried to come earlier, but honestly, I couldn't get my writing to work. Since I haven't written for so long, my hands are stiff and my head isn't working well. Still, I'm so relieved that I've finally finished it, even though it's not great. I think it's because I practiced baking on weekdays that I didn't write as much, lol. Still, it's been a while since I showed my face and posted a post!! Thank you for enjoying the last episode!! There might be a behind-the-scenes part, or I might just wrap it up~~ Now, it's time for this post to say goodbye. Thanks to older, same-age, and younger people, I've gotten a lot of subscribers, and I think I was 2nd in the rankings...?? Anyway, I climbed up to that point. Recently, I was so happy to be featured on Today's What to Watch during the summer season!!!! It's all thanks to you all ㅎㅎ
Anyway, thank you to my 117 subscribers for loving older, same-age, and younger people!!
