packing up your bags, sliding into to your clothes, bursting out the door to catch the bus, nothing off about this school day yet. as you get of the bus your palm begin to get sweaty, your heart beats faster and your legs start trembling. your alien behaviour is spotted by a boy roughly your age maybe a month older or so.

"hey, are you alright." he asks with a bubble of concern floating in his tone. before you could respond, you looked up and the words meant to escape your mouth halted at his proximity. your noses were mere inches away from eachother but since the concerned bubble started growing you answered.

"not really, it's my first day here and the school is pretty big so I may get lost"

once you said that his eyes started sparkling. all you could do at that was stare and wonder what had got him so worked up.

"so you must be then transfer student in my class. y/n l/n right!"

"yeah, that's my name. may i ask your name."

"oh , did I forget to introduce myself." he took a pause to clear his throat before he began "my name is jung sungchan but you can just call me sungchan and we're in the same classes so if i'm with you you'll be just fine."

the bell rang next to you two, loud and clear.

"come on y/n. I promise you that being late isn't a good thing wether your new or not."

the rest of that day and week was literally just sungchan dragging you around and introducing you to people. it seemed that he was pretty popular across the school because everyone knew his name and now everyome knows your name.

the following weeks were the same until it was the last day before summer break. sungchan wasn't standing at your doorstep which was odd but you assumed he was just a bit ill. walking through the hallway you saw him by his locker so you decided to walk over to him.

"hi sungcha-" before you could even finish saying his name he had already slipped away.

the rest of the day was like that but you had a little group of your own friends you could hangout with. yuna, karina and lisa have been your friends since the second week you started. you four could ever only text and hangout after school because sungchan would usually be dragging you around or stealing you for himself they say so they were a bit stunned to see you two separated.

throughout the whole summer break not a single text or call came from sungchan and you didn't want to disturb him with so you two just never Interacted after that. days became weeks and weeks became years and not a single word.

nearing the end of your final year and prom is right around the corner all three of your friends already have a date, you don't but it doesn't bother you that much. all you've learnt these few years is that the 'b' in boys means betrayal.

once you get out of your car you see the tree girls huddled together awaiting your arrival in an outdoor part of the diner. you try and run towards them but it's quite hard when your inexperienced with heels and you have an unnecessarily long dress so you fall but just as you expect to be hit by the cold pavement you feel the warm embrace of a taller figure. your eyes flicker open and jung sungchan is bestowed upon you, less than an inch of space between your noses.

"uh, thanks." you say as you look into the eyes of your prince charming

"no problem y/n" he says with a seemingly uncontrollable forming grin.

it takes a moment for you to realise your prom dress matches his suit even in the colours are slightly different up close , probably because of the material. once sungchan settles you down you wave and walk over to your friends who are still huddling together.

"hey girls!"

"oh my god, you really took your time getting here." karina comments while rolling her eyes

"we've been waiting for 5 whole minutes like this." yuna says beside her ,slightly shivering.

"it's not that cold out here. it's literally spring." you bite back at the three shivering girls "anyways, where are your dates, they should give you their jacket or something, cheesy drama style."

"our dates are over there talking with your date" lisa bites pointing at a group of boys and sungchan who are currently approaching you four.

"what do you mean my date. I told you I didn't need one." you tell her in a tone of pure attitude.

"calm down girl. it's not my fault you and sungchan's outfits are matching." Lisa says in defence putting a strand of hair behind her ear and looking up at you with a cheesy smirk. "ooo here they are. i'll just have to ask sungchan myself."

"you actually thought sungchan was my date?" you suddenly blurted out at her a bit too loud which may or may not have enabled the nearing boy in question hear you.

"he isn't?" one of the boys beside sungchan chipped in. you know him as the boy that helped you pay for lunch when sungchan forgot his money but you were beyond starving, from yuna's speed talking outbursts recently you've learnt his name was Chenle.

"yes, i told you that before." sungchan bites back at Chenle while giving a playful, light hit to another beside him.

"but your outfits are like..." another friend, which your guessing is Jisung because of his and karina's matching outfits, pitches in and pauses to think of what idioms or phrases he could use.

"...married to eachother" the final boy in the group ends Jisung's suffering - jeongin, you assumed again from lisa and his matching outfits as well as lisa's date rants.

"nope." you and sungchan say in unison which earns a few oooos from your mutual friends.

"you see what i mean. i'm actually surprised you people haven't talked to eachother for so long. you two were just inseparable." chenle says loud enough for the world to hear for no apparent reason.

hearing that made you question why sungchan and you split up in the second year. was he mad at you for some reason? did a dating rumors spread without you knowing? did he just loose interest in you? is he a fuckboy? you held in a gasp at the last theory you could think of. did he get a girlfriend? the thoughts spiralling in your head was enough to make you visibly stressed to the point of crying. so you did the one thing you could think of. you ran as deep into that diner as far as your aching legs could take you, which was indeed pretty far.

when you finally stopped before your legs could give into the pain, you were bewildered at how far you ran. your teachers and friends said that the diner was close to the ocean but it was quite a walk.

the sea was the same colour as the sky both shades of a tropical pink met at the half visible, half invisible, sun. there was a large dock which was a perfect height for you to sit and not get your dress wet so you discarded of your heels and dipped your feet in the ocean water. it was cold but it was refreshing. all the complicated thoughts swam away at the sound of the waves but before you could register, tears started falling down your cheeks carrying the mascara and little eyeliner with it making your tears a depressing black colour. lifting you had up to your face so that you can wipe your tears with your hand, another hand catches your wrist at your cheek and uses the other to grab the bottom half of your face and turing it towards his own and wiping your tear with a handkerchief.

"what are you doing here? sungchan. did you follow me all the way here?" you barely say above a whisper because his hand is squishing your cheeks pretty tight.

"you didn't hear me calling you? i was literally screaming at you y/n." he says but you're not sure if he was being dramatic or he was legit.

"I guess i was lost in my thoughts of getting as far away as possible."

"yeah, no shit. y/n, you became a long distance 10000m olympics gold medalist back there." he explained making sure you heard his attitude in every single word which made you start giggling. "c'mon let's get back to the diner. prom queen and prom king are gonna be announced soon."

"soon is an hour, sungchan." mocking him.

"y/n, do you know how far you ran?" sungchan asks with the same time of attitude he had a minute ago

"nope, but I know it's certainly not 10000m like in the olympics." you say as you scoot back to get up only realising that your only shoe option is painful, agonising 4.5 inch heels. "no way in hell am I walking back in those heels."

"don't worry, i'll carry you." positioning himself so that your heels were in his hand and a space where you would be comfortable on his back. at the thought you kind of blushed but it's no big deal. you and sungchan may have not spoken or texted for more than a year but your friendship rekindled in the blink of an eye.

once you got on his back was warm and that only just made you realise how cold you really were.

the way back consisted of sungchan complaining, sungchan complaining and finally sungchan complaining. the moment the diner doors were in veiw you prepared for landing but sungchan didn't let go. "sungchan. you can let go now. people are in field of vision." you whisper-shouted into his ear.

"yup. and the people in veiw are going to see that our friendship is back in business and i'll be clinging onto you for the rest of your life." sungchan pauses for a bit then sets you down and directly faces you with a look that a business ceo would have in an important meeting. "y/n, i know this may sound absolutely fucking bonkers after not speaking to you for over a year but i think I've fallen for you. and i know this is a bit late and a bit rushed but can you please be my date but not as just a friend."

your mouth was forming a perfect circle, you didn't have to look in the mirror to even know that but once the words that came out of sungchan's mouth drilled their way into you head and found their way to you heart you found yourself staring at his lips not knowing that the words "can i kiss you" left your own.

a single nod, not even a word is all it took for you to pull him into a passionate desire filled kiss. it wasn't long but you felt as if you had the world and more by your side after that.

"now, get your heels on y/n. prom king and queen are gonna be announced really soon." sungchan says and he props your heels down signalling for you to wear them.

sungchan was right. prom queen and king were being announced as you two entered the hall hand in hand walking over to your group of friends.

"so..." yuna starts "are you two dense idiots fucking dating now."

"not fucking, just dating." sungchan says untangling your hands and pulling you in by your waist, you don't mind it at all, in fact it felt natural to be this close with sungchan.

"i told you it would happen today." jisung says as he nudges jeongin.

"i said it would happen soon so technically we both win." jeongin bites back a jisung.

"nevermind that. the votes are rigged. i swear we convinced everyone that sungchan and y/n should be voted as prom king and queen." lisa commented staring daggers through the current prom king and queen on stage.

"not really. i think i'd be the prom queen if crying was a contest." you reply with an eye smile facing towards lisa.

"nope, you'd be the prom queen if running was a contest." sungchan suggests looking down at his suit and your matching prom dress.
