Kill me now.

Kill me now.

Kill me now.

If I had to sit and listen one more argument between Chaewon and Yerim, I was going to cut their tongues out.

“Hyejoo says I have pretty eyes.”

“Hyejoo says I'm beautiful.”

“Well she thinks that I'm gorgeous.”

I knew I should've escaped our friendship when I had the chance.

Then I wouldn't have to hear ‘Hyejoo, Hyejoo, Hyejoo...’ a small growl escaped my throat just thinking about her.

“Both of you shut up!” Chaewon and Yerim both snapped their mouth shut and looked at me in surprise. “Look at what she's done to you. You two used to be best friends and now you're at each others throats, because of a girl who's playing the both of you.”

I didn't know if was my anger or their foolishness that allowed the words to sink into their heads. I could see that they were really thinking about it too.

“I know this is going to sting but it needs to be said. All things that Hyejoo tells you two she says to every single girl that she meets. Those words mean nothing. And if she does really care about you two then she'll make a decision.”

“She's right.” Yerim turned to Chaewon looking extremely apologetic. “Chaewon, this is stupid. Why are we fighting with each other? Let's just have Hyejoo decide who she wants to be with and no matter who she picks we should still be friends.”

I crossed my fingers hoping Chaewon would put her pride away and agree with her.

“Okay.” Thank God. “And if she does pick you then I apologize for trying to take your girlfriend from you.”

“You're apologizing for something,” Yerim said with fake shocked. “It's a miracle.”

Chaewon rolled her eyes and playfully nudged Yerim's shoulder. “Whatever.”

“Yay!” I exclaimed in satisfaction. “We're friends again. Thank goodness too because I was ready to kill the both of you. Anyways, let's go find Hyejoo and have her settle this.”

I opened up my locker wondering what kind of gifts I would receive today and what type of plans Chaewon and Yerim had up their sleeves to win my affection.

“Hyejoo.”

I turned to find Yerim, Chaewon and Yeojin looking at me with serious expression. This was not what I expected today and if it ruined all of my plans then I was not going to be happy.

“They have something they want to tell you.” Yeojin gave her friends and encouragement nudge forward.

This couldn't be good.

“We're tired of playing games so we're giving you until tomorrow to decide which one of us you want to be with,” Chaewon said.

“Me or Yerim.”

“We'll meet you outside of the school tomorrow morning at 7:30.” Yerim handed me a slip of paper with the same information written on it. “Have your answer then.”

The three of them walked away leaving me standing there completely dumbfounded. In all my years of dealing with girls, none of them had ever made me choose between them. I normally just a kick out of being with both and them being upset with each other instead of me.

I never had to pinpoint what I liked about them either. Looks were given but there are things I like personality wise. A sense of humor, friendly, outgoing, and they were both all of those things.

I've never had this situation happen to me.

Man reality sucks.

I hadn't realized it during our fight but I actually missed Yerim. I invited her to come to my house after school and noticed that I had missed certain things about her like her laugh, her jokes, and just being in her company in general.

“Did you know that Hyejoo likes unicorn?” Yerim asked.

I couldn't believe my ears. “Hyejoo? The supposed to be basses womanizer?”

“Yep. She had a collection of them in her room.” Yerim leaned forward laughing uncontrollably. And here I was thinking she was as tough as a nails.

“She wrote me a love letter in eight grade,” I shared. “It was decorated with hearts and stickers. I actually liked her for a week when I found out she had written the same letter for other girls.”

I had never told that to anyone since eight grade. Yerim and Yeojin would've teased me every chance they got for even receiving a love letter from Hyejoo let alone admitting that I liked her.

“That's the same year I like Yeojin.”

“You liked Yeojin?”

“Of course I did. I thought it was obvious from how much I always wanted to hang around her and laughed at like everything she said.” Yerim pouted. “She never did pick up on my hints though.”

I thought back on it, realizing it had been painfully obvious. Yerim had always say next to Yeojin in class or at lunch, flipped her hair all the time, and laughed as if Yeojin had told her the best joke on the entire world. I guess I was too lost in my own world to notice anything back then. Not that I'm alert now.

“Can I ask you something?”

“You just did,” I joked.

“Will you be upset if Hyejoo picks me?” She asked.

“Kind of, ” I admitted. “But I'll get over it. We'll just have to see what she says tomorrow.”

Tomorrow.

I had never dreaded anything more.
