It's the last day of our semestral break. Many days have passed and yet I ignored Chaeryeong. Argh, I can't even explain how I feel right now.

"Yah, Kang Taehyun!"I was startled when Yeji-noona with Yeonjun-hyung barge in in my room.

"Why are you ignoring Chaeryeong these past few days?!"Yeji-noona yelled as she was about to slap me but luckily, Yeonjun-hyung stops her.

"Yah, she's crying all night because of you! She's thinking that you might ignore her for real! If you don't like her, just say it!"Yeji-noona yelled. I widened my eyes when she stomped her feet and then sat on floor. She cried so loud, I looked at Yeonjun-hyung, 'I didn't do anything, hyung. Save me-look'

"Yeji-ah, we will explain. Taehyun will explain."Yeonjun-hyung said as he hugged her to stand her up. Hope all.

"What for? Chaeryeong is badly hurt by his attitude!"Yeji-noona said as she cried again.

"Noona, I like her."i said. She stopped and looked at me in shocked.

"Mwo?!"she shouted as she ran to my bed. I smiled at her as Yeonjun-hyung shooked his head in disbelief.

"I like her but I need to think about it. I wanted to make sure that I do really like her. I just don't want to rush things right now."i said while smiling.

She looked at Yeonjun-hyung and then she jumped on my bed and hugged Yeonjun-hyung like a baby. I chuckled,

"WAAAH! TAERYEONG IS REALLY SAILING!"she screamed as she jumped like a kid.

"Yah, calm down!"Yeonjun-hyung said.

"Make sure to make it fast, huh?!"Yeji-noona said as she pointed her fingers to me. I nodded my head,

"Tomorrow is my birthday,"i said as I sighed. Remember when I excepted her again?

"Yeah, Chaeryeong will come!"Yeji-noona said.

"But I already gave her an exception."i said. She scoffed,

"When Chaeryeong learned how to follow your exception?"Yeji-noona asked. I just shrugged and sighed,

"We will make her go there. Don't worry!"Yeonjun-hyung said.

"How to confess? I really don't know what to do since it's my first time."i said as I pouted my lips.

"Omo, Taehyunnie is so cute!"Yeji-noona squealed as she pinched my cheeks. I quickly removed it.

"Yah! I am more cute than him!"Yeonjun-hyung said so we laughed.

"Just tell her what you feel towards her."Yeji-noona said while smiling at me.

Do I need to? What if she don't accept me?

-----

Today is my birthday. I already prepared myself because tonight will be the right time to own Lee Chaeryeong. I really miss her.

Yes, I'm really sure that I like her-I love her. Maybe I used to hate her before but right now, I hate seeing her sad because of me. I wanted to tell her what I really feel since when we was in the orphanage.

"Taehyun-ah! Are you nervous?"Beomgyu-hyung asked as he patted my shoulders. I nodded my head as I smiled at him.

"What took them so long? I badly want to see her."i said.

"You're really inlove with her."Huening Kai said as he shooked his head.

"He's really inlove than Chaeryeong did."Soobin-hyung said while smiling at me.

"This will be the best night for you, birthday boy!"Yeonjun-hyung said as he gave me a wine. I smiled at them and nodded my head.

"Goodluck me, boiz!"i joked as we laughed.

"Oh, here they are!"Huening Kai exclaimed so I looked at the gate and I saw Itzy walking towards us.

I smiled but suddenly faded away when I saw Seungmin approached her. I don't know but I knit my eyebrows. I don't like it.

"Your dress is so small. Do you want me to find you another dress?"Seungmin said. I looked at him and smiled.

"Oh, no thanks! Hehe, I think I'm fine with this."i weirdly said as I stretched down my dress.

"You look beautiful but uncomfortable with that dress. Take this."he said as he took off his blazer and gave it to me.

"Hey, thank you!"i said as I bowed at him. He smiled at me,

"I miss you, Chaeryeong-ah. How about going out? I mean, as a friend."he said while smiling at me. I laughed,

"Why are you saying as a friend? Of course, I would like to hang out with since we're friends!"i happily said. We both laughed,

"Someone might get jealous if I didn't tell you that as a friend only."he said. I blinked so many times,

"Eh?"

"Nothing!"he said.

"I'll go now. My hyung needs me. Enjoy!"Seungmin said as he bid a goodbye. I smiled at him and nodded my head as I watched him going to the group of boys.

I was about to walk when someone tapped my shoulders. I looked at my back and I saw Aisha. Wow, she looks so beautiful. I hope all.

"Hey, Chaeryeong! Do I look good in this dress?"Aisha asked as she turn around just like a princess. I smiled as I nodded my head and secretly try to stretch down my dress.

"Good to know. I hope Taehyun will notice me."she said as she smirked at me before she leaves. I just smile as I look away,

"Eonnie, come here!"Yuna happily said as she signaled me to go where TXTZY is staying. I smiled and walked towards them.

I looked at Taehyun who's currently stunning with his clothes. He looks so handsome and I really miss him. Why don't he look at me at least for a second? He really looks so upset.

As soon as they all arrived here. The party has started. I am here at my seat, silently watching them having fun while the others are enjoying their party in the pool.

I wanted to join ITZY who's currently enjoying at the pool but I cant because I'm too scared that I might drown.

"Hep!"Yeonjun-oppa said as he signaled the DJ to stop the music. The DJ did so he pulled Taehyun closer to him.

"Let's sing happy birthday to our King Taehyun!"he shouted so everyone sing a happy birthday for him. He was smiling, so I smiled too. He sat on his chair after that song, I thought Yeonjun-oppa will go back to his seat but,

"Taehyun-ah! Did our lovely girls look good with their dress?!"Yeonjun-oppa shouted at Taehyun who's sitting at the side while, wait! Looking at me?

He look away and look at Yeonjun-oppa,

"Aniyo."he bluntly said. What? That man!

"They are not beautiful with those thick lipstick, thick foundation, and other make-up stuffs. They are not beautiful, realtalk."he said that makes my classmates groan in disappoinment. They started to roll their eyes,

"Yah! Why are you like that?!"Lia-unnie whined.

"Girls, you don't need to put a make up on your face. You are guys naturally beautiful. But right now, you put so many make up on your face and that makes them look messy."he bluntly said.

"What do you--"Soobin-oppa cuts his words because Taehyun stood up and look at me,

."he said. I blinked so many times while the others gasped.

"W-what?"i stuttered. He sighed,

"Chaeryeong looks beautiful with or without make up plus her personality is also beautiful."he said while looking at me. I blushed so hard, what is he like that?

"Except me what? I mean, what do you mean?"i asked again.

"You slow-witted."he said as he rolled his eyes and signaled the DJ to start the music before he left.

I'm still shocked because of what he said. This time, his favorite line makes me feel flutter. I feel so happy because of that statement. I smiled,

Why Taehyun?

"Kyaaah! I told you!"Yeji-noona said as she hugged me without hesitation.

"Unnie! I'm wet!"i whined as I pouted my lips.

"Omo! Omo! This is it!"they squealed so I laughed.

"You should go and approach him, Chaeryeong-ah."Soobin-oppa said while smiling at me.

"Eh? Why?"i asked.

"Isn't obvious? Of course, he likes you!"Beomgyu said. Yeonjun-oppa quickly slap his cheeks lightly.

"Let Taehyun tell his feelings to her, pabo!"Yeonjun-oppa said so we all laughed.

"Ka, Chaeryeong!"Ryujin said while smiling at me.

"Should I?"i asked and they all nodded their head. I quickly stood up and ran where Taehyun go.

Their house is too big so I can't find him easily. I looked around as soon I reached in their garden. Where is he?

"Boo!"

"AAAAH!"i quickly screamed as I accidentally slapped that person who boo-ed me. I am like this, I get so scared easily.

"O-ouch."he said. I looked at him and omo, Taehyun!

"Omo, I'm sorry!"i sad as I bowed at him

"You hurt me."he said as he scoffed.

"How dare you?"he added. I gulped,

"I'm sorry."i said as I bowed my head.

"Don't bow your head, your dress is too small. Cover it."he said as he remove his blazer. I looked at him and blinked,

"Do you want me to cover you? Again?"he asked while letting a thin smile. I stared at him and pouted my lips,

Why is he like this? >< Why is he so sweet to me? I feel like I'm going to cry..

"Aish, do you want to change first? You're wet."he said. I snapped out as I looked at myself. Omo, this Yeji-unnie's fault.

"C-can I?"i asked. He smiled at me and nodded his head.

"Go inside and tell the maid to help you."he said so I nodded my head and walked away.

"Do you know what way you should go?"he asked so I stopped. I'm doomed. I looked at him as I smiled weirdly,

"Shall I take this way?"i asked as I pointed to the opposite direction. He nodded his head while smiling, AAAA! THAT SMILE!!!

"O-okay."i said as I walked again,

"You sure that it's really the way you should take?"he asked again so I stopped and glared at him.

"Then what way? Tell me. It's really cold right now."i said.

"Here."he said as he opened his arms. I frowned,

"What?"i asked.

"Ah nothing. That's the right way, go."he said as he fixed his polo. I just rolled my eyes and walked away.

While walking, I smiled. What is this, Taehyun?

Crush back, ehem.
