first love

2. First partner

That day was the day to change seats. Seats were decided by drawing lots, starting with the first number in numerical order. I was placed in the second row of the second group. And I was anxiously waiting for the person who would be my partner, wondering where Baekhyun would be placed. It was the most nerve-wracking moment of my life.

I wondered if it wasn't a seat assignment. Finally, it was Baekhyun's turn to choose, and I stared at him, eagerly anticipating who my partner would be. Baekhyun unfolded the paper, the corners of his mouth slightly quirking up, and he turned to write his name on the board.

I was almost disappointed when Baekhyun's hand reached out to a different seat than mine, but thankfully, it wasn't Baekhyun's but another child's name that was written. And as if God had answered my wish, Baekhyun wrote the three letters "Byeon Baekhyun" on the seat next to me. This time, the sound really reached my throat.

I came out, but I managed to hold it together with great difficulty. Thanks to the vice-chairman, I only found out later that Baekhyun had seen my expression and was hiding his face and laughing. Hearing that, I was so embarrassed I couldn't even raise my head. After all the children were seated,

The class president and vice president also took their new seats. The moment Baekhyun came and sat down next to me, my heart started beating faster. I was nervous that Baekhyun would hear the pounding sound. Thanks to Baekhyun, I was experiencing emotions, thoughts, and things for the first time.

It seems like a lot. A new class, a new grade, new friends in a new classroom, new things to try. It must be so exciting. As expected, Baekhyun spoke to me with a pretty smile.

"Hey, it's so great that we're partners, right? I wanted to be your partner because I wanted to get closer to you. Let's get to know each other better and have fun this month."

Really? I'm honored that the precious Baekhyun wanted to become friends with the humble Kim Yeoju! I was the one who wanted to become close to you, Baekhyun. Please take care of me for the next month.

Since becoming a partner with Baekhyun, I've had countless conversations with him. From sibling relationships, home, family, to studying. I was truly happy. Luckily, Baekhyun and I go home in the same direction, so we end up walking home together. Today, a year's worth of luck has been all mine.

I felt bitter. I didn't want to go home, but the walk home from school with Baekhyun was so good. I just wanted to stay like this. It would be better if our relationship was more than that, but if it was anything less, it wouldn't be as good as it is now. Of course, I wanted to be happy just the way I wanted.

I couldn't get through it. It was so full of twists and turns. I wanted to end the relationship. It was so horrible.
