Mijoo sat there for a while. So it is NOT a dream. Daehyun says that what it is, it's happening for real. Sinds only Mijoo and Daehyun knows about this. It must have something to do with them. Mijoo has an endless crush on Daehyun. And that's it. No way in hell will she tell him that. But the 14 years in the past. Her crush. It maybe does have some sort of a connection. First she needs to hear what Daehyun has to say tomorrow.
The next day at school. Daehyun was standing near the lockers. His and Mijoo's lockers were next to each other. Mijoo came down with a suspicious face. Daehyun looked in amusement. Once she got close, Daehyun waved at her. She run to him. 'Should we go now? Let's drop school. I don't think I can wait any longer.' Mijoo hesitated. 'If it is real. We don't know if it will affect the future.' Mijoo was trying to think simple now. 'Come on. It's just 1 day. Mmm.'
'Okay.'
They took the backdoor and escaped school. 'We should go to a cafe and sit.' Mijoo stopped walking. 'Sure, the workers won't be suspicious about two students sitting in a cafe this early, talking about the future. But then again, this all might be a delusion. I don't know, let's just go.' Daehyun jumped up and down. 'It's my treat. I'll buy us warm drinks. Let's go, let's go.' He was all excited. Mijoo smiled. She loves him so much it just hurts every time she looks at him. She knows that he doesn't look at her the way she looks at him.
They picked a cafe and sit. Mijoo ordered a hot chocolate milk. Daehyun hold up his hand and asked for the same in excitement. The waiter laughed. Once their drinks got served, they got to the point.
Daehyun asked Mijoo first. 'Do you remember what you did after you came home?' She shook her head. 'I do. I came home. Took a shower and laid on bed in my bath rope. I didn't change into my pyjama.' Mijoo though for a second. 'Just forget about the last one.' Daehyun looked her in the eyes. 'You're to late. I already though of it.' Mijoo blushed. 'Okay, and you, what were you doing?' He sipped from the hot chocolate milk. 'I came home and also took a shower, I did put on my pyjama's. For the rest of the evening, doing nothing but relaxing and reading a book.
Nothing unusual. 'Remember the text messages I send you? I did it with the others too. And your answer was the weirdest one. The others just replied normal. I'm sure the two of us are stuck in this mess.'
Mijoo felt uneasy. Did she guessed it correct. About the crush thingy. 'You have something you regret doing it or not doing it?' Daehyun was cracking his brain. 'No, not that I remember of.' She knew it. And here comes his question. 'And you?' Mijoo answered with a no.
She was having an internal conflict whether she has to tell him or not.
'Daehyun. What if I told you that I know the reason that we went back to the past. And 14 years back. What if I had a regret and that it has something to do with you and I. Would you be mad?' Mijoo started to play with her finger. She does that when she is nervous.
'Like.. You and... What if... There is a girl and a boy. Only the girl and not the boy. The girl has something to say to the boy. Do you understand me?' Mijoo looked up at Daehyun who was confused. 'So the girl and the boy.' Mijoo shook her head. 'The girl wants to say something to the boy, right. So the girl, you. Wants to tell me, the boy. Something.' He sipped again from his hot chocolate milk.
'You can if you want to.' Daehyun said in a serious voice. 'Did you kill someone and blamed it on me, 14 years ago?' Mijoo stared him with a dumbfounded face. He is being serious...
'No, of course not. I'm being honest and serious right now. Please, it's hard enough already. Stop joking or you'll be stuck here forever.' Daehyun had a sorry face. 'Okay, I apologize. You can go on.'
'I, back then, 14 years ago. You...' Mijoo took a deep breath and said it in one go. '14 years ago, when we were in the same class. I began to like you. The moment I saw you, I fell in love with you.' she buried her face in her hands.
Daehyun was taken back. 'I didn't know that. You never showed it.'
That is the whole point of secret love. GAWD!!!
'I was to shy. Why would I have told you about me being in love with YOU. I may not now look like how I used to be 14 years ago. I was just chubby and not pretty or cute as the most girls. Do you know that the girls from the upper class came to us all the time and asked about you, if you had a girlfriend or not.
Daehyun's time had stopped. Never did he hear about any of this back then. He never thought of Mijoo in a romantic way. And not with the other girls too. He just thought, kids from the same school... No romantic feelings for no one, never had the need...
