14 days, it echoed in the back of her mind.
She had fourteen days to make sure they they're in love and then, the rest to spend...
"Hey, what's got you looking so pale?" Beomgyu sat beside her at lunch.
"Sorry, It's nothing really." She tried to shake the feeling from her shoulders but it clings.
"You know you can talk to me, right?"
"I know, it's just personal sorry."
"Yah Soona, you forgot your drink!" Soobin sits the coke down onto the white table.
"Oh sorry, I didn't realize." She picks the can up and cracked it open.
"Soona, Can I ask you something?" Beomgyu whispered beside her, "Yes?"
"Do you think, Yeonjun likes me?" The question made Soona almost choke on the liquid in her mouth. She didn't expect such a blunt question; she struggled to find an answer.
"I- I think he does why?"
"I was planning on asking him out later."
"What?! Really?" Soona sits up straight and turned her body toward him.
"Yes? Why? Should I not?" He panicked.
"No No you should! But, you should approach it reasonably."
"How?"
"Well, you should slowly ease into the question."
"Ah like make small talk and eventually change the topic slowly?"
"Yes that's what I meant."
"Should I go to his home? Or mine?"
"Beomgyu, just do what you feel is, don't panic." Soona laughed patting his back.
"Sorry, I'm just nervous."
Yeonjun finally reached the table; he had a delayed presence due to buying a drink for Beomgyu."Here, For you."
"Oh? Thank you Hyung." He says receiving the fruit flavored drink.
"Oh hey Yeonjun, Do you want to come to Beomgyu's house tonight. We can all study together." Soona bursted out, Beomgyu looked at her with subtle eyes.
"Ah tonight? Sure what time?"
"6."
"Sure, Should I bring snacks?"
"That's fine, bring something delicious please." Soona smiles, in reality, she was never going to show up. Just Beomgyu and Yeonjun.
She winked at Beomgyu who finally understood what she was doing and sighed a relief.
"Well, I'm done eating, so I'll head back; you two take your time." Soona left them sitting alone.
"How much time do we have left?"
"10 minutes." Yeonjun replies after looking at his phone.
"Do you want me to buy jellies for later?"
"Yes please they're my favorite, strawberry."
-
The time ticked slowly in class, it seemed the english class lasted for five hours yet it was only one.
"My gosh! I'm wanting to scream." Soona laid her head down on the desk, accidentally hitting it.
"Be careful there." Yeonjun scolded her.
"You're so annoying."
Soona replies back to him, his eyebrows raised.
"Me? Oh, don't get me started." He crosses his legs.
Beomgyu turned his head to see them bickering, "Yeonjun, leave my si-"
Soona cut him off from the word sister, "Ahh! Ahh! My finger." Soona said, pretending she got a paper cut.
"Ah really? Let me see." Yeonjun leaned his head over trying to see her finger she's holding.
"No, mind your business." She held her finger pretending to almost cry.
"You're such a baby." Yeonjun muttered.
'What's his problem?' Soona thought.
"Soona, if you need a bandaid you may go to the nurse." The teacher turned around facing the class.
"Thanks, I'll be back." She stood up pushing her chair in and exited the class.
'He's acting so crabby today and for what?' Soona rolled her eyes as she approached the nurse room.
"Hello, what do you need?"
"Can I have a bandaid please?"
The nurse opened her drawer and fiddled around for the bandage box; she took out the bandaid and handed it to Soona.
"Thank you." Soona opened the bandaid and placed it on her finger. She threw the trash away and left back toward the classroom.
The walk back was slow and she dragged her feet.
14 days.

Yeonjun was in the convenience store buying jellies for Beomgyu.
He smiled as he grabbed the strawberry ones; he wanted to see how Beomgyu's face would light up at the sight of it later. He found himself standing there awkwardly frozen as his mind got ahead of him; he snapped out of his daze finally.
He grabbed a few different fruit-flavored ones and headed to check out.
-
A knock was heard on the door, it made Beomgyu jump a little. He stood up and brushed off his clothes, making sure they're not crinkled.
He cared about his appearance more tonight than any other day; his hair was brushed along with his face freshly washed.
"You can do it Beomgyu." He reassured himself as he walked over toward the door, his hand was shakily grabbing the doorknob and opened it.
"Hello! I'm here your husband!" Yeonjun joked, it made Beomgyu slightly blush but not enough to be noticed.
"Come in." He says quietly; Yeonjun walked inside and sat the bag down on the dining table.
"I bought the jelly you liked along with a few others, here." He handed Beomgyu the strawberry one.
"Thank you." He smiled, Yeonjun's face lit up. There was the smile he loved to see from him; it made his heart full and warm.
"Cute.." He whispered to himself, "What?" Beomgyu says slightly hearing the word.
"Nothing." Yeonjun awkwardly laughed.
"I can't open it, can you try?" Beomgyu tried but failed opening his jelly so he held it out toward Yeonjun.
Yeonjun took it lightly from his hand and succeeded in opened the jelly.
"Here you go~" He sung out cutely while holding it toward Beomgyu's mouth.
Beomgyu's cheeks and ears were felt heating up at the moment; He slightly opened his mouth just enough for Yeonjun to place the jelly inside.
"Is it good?" Beomgyu nodded while eating the jelly with reddened cheeks.
"Are you blushing?" Yeonjun laughed.
"N-No? why?" Beomgyu held his hands to his cheeks feeling the heat radiating off.
"I see it~ Don't be shy. Here have another." Yeonjun held another jelly in front of his mouth, his eyes staring at his lips.
Beomgyu hesitated but opened his mouth once again to receive the jelly; Yeonjun smiles from ear to ear this time.
"Cute." Yeonjun says, making Beomgyu's face heat up even more now; he felt like the steam from a hot tub.
"i'm not cute.." Beomgyu says in a quiet voice.
"Is Soona not coming?" Yeonjun noticed the absence.
"She said she couldn't make it last minute."
"Ah that's fine, we can study without her."
The two sat down next to each other below the couch, placing their books on the table and studying beside one another.
"Here, have another." Yeonjun held another jelly next to Beomgyu's mouth as he was reading the text.
He opened his mouth without looking away, and Yeonjun giggled. He was enjoying it a little too much.
Beomgyu was getting impatient and grabbed Yeonjun's face with both his hands. Yeonjun froze in place before Beomgyu kissed him.
-
"Soona! Slow down!" Yena yelled running after he friend.
"We only have fourteen days!" Soona yelled back opening Yena's phone.
"What're you doing?!"
"Doing your confession!" Soona opened the messages to find Kai's name and typed a message as if it's from Yena.
She quickly pressed send and stop running, Yena almost crashed into her from the sudden stop.
"What did you- SOONA! I'm gonna kill you!" Yena says as Soona darted off running from a angry Yena.
-
"I was waiting for that." Yeonjun laughed after Beomgyu pulled away.
"Why didn't you do it sooner?" Beomgyu says hitting his arm.
"Sorry~ I didn't think you were serious." Yeonjun giggled.
"Did you plan this?"
"No!" Beomgyu lied, he bit his lip to not smile.
"Ah~ you planned this just to kiss me?" Yeonjun teased.
"No I didn't!" Beomgyu defended himself, Yeonjun kissed him once again.
"Where's your confession?" Yeonjun titled his head like a child.
"My confession? already?" Beomgyu says finding his words.
"Should I go first?" Yeonjun asked, Beomgyu nodded.
"I love you, Beomgyu~." Yeonjun sang out, Beomgyu felt his face heat up from embarrassment.
"Don't look at me like that!" Beomgyu playfully hit his arm.
"Awe, you don't love me back?" Yeonjun pouted with his lips.
"I love you too, Yeonjunnie." Beomgyu says quietly.
"What? Louder!" Yeonjun pretends he didn't hear and held a hand to his ear.
"I LOVE YOU TOO YEONJUNNIE!" Beomgyu yelled with a red face.
-
"Don't kill me don't kill me!" Soona ran inside the apartment buildings; she rushes up the stairs trying not to trip.
As she was, she ran into someone making them both fall but luckily not down the stairs.
"Ah watch where you're- Soona?" Taehyun says rubbing his knee.
"Sorry, Yena is trying to kill me." Soona apologized seeing his bleeding knee.
"It's bleeding, come on i'll help you."
-
"When did you realize you loved me?" Beomgyu asked Yeonjun.
"Me? I think it was when you apologized to me , about my friend. I realized you weren't as bad as I thought you are." Yeonjun says holding his hand.
"Really that long ago?" Beomgyu felt his ears turn red.
"Why? When did you?"
"For me, I liked you since I first saw you." Beomgyu says unexpected by Yeonjun.
"Really? I'm sorry I acted so rude." Yeonjun apologized again.
"Don't worry, It doesn't matter now." Beomgyu rubbed his hand.
"All that matters is where we are now." Beomgyu added and Yeonjun smiled shyly.
-
"You're always hurting me." Taehyun sighed watching Soona place a bandaid on his knee wound.
"Sorry, But you're always in my way." She joked; the joke earned a sigh from Taehyun.
"Awe, not in the mood today?" Soona pouted, she didn't know why he was being so serious.
"Just wait till we return to the upper realm, i'm telling them all the times you hurt me." He says sounding despiteful.
"You will not." She says standing up with her hands on her hips.
"Watch me." He nodded while walking out the door, leaving her there in frustration.
-
"Are we dating now?" Yeonjun asked laying beside Beomgyu.
"You want? Sure." Beomgyu nodded, seeming casual, but deep down, he wanted to squeal.
"I mean- If you want then yes." Yeonjun stuttered shyly.
"Then we're dating now." Beomgyu says kissing him again sweetly.
-
"Hey, bully." Taehyun greeted Soona at the school gate.
"Bully? Wow, you're something else." She pushes past him not wanting to entertain him.
As she walked to her locker she saw Kai standing beside Yena, she quickly hide behind the lockers.
"About the text-"
"Sorry, it wasn't me who sent it." Yena cut him off by apologizing.
"Oh? I wanted to say I like you too." Kai says, holding his head up shyly.
"Really?! I mean! I do too!" She stuttered out , her face becoming a tomato.
"But I like someone else too.." Kai says making her shocked, "Oh really? I mean, who?" Yena asked.
"S.."
"Who?"
"Soobin." He says quietly.
"Really!? Then you should tell him!" Yena grabbed his shoulders, supporting him.
"Really? I should?" He says smiling.
"Yes! When you're ready of course!"
"But you like me don't you?" Kai asked.
"I won't be here much longer; you belong to someone who can be." She says confusing him, he didn't know what she meant by leaving soon.
"What do you mean leaving?"
"I'll tell you later, for now you worry about confessing your love!" She says patting his back.
-
"You okay?" Soona asked sitting beside Yena in the school courtyard, the wind was bowling calmly.
"Yes, I know we can't stay here anyway. I'm happy for him." She says sighing, feeling a bittersweet feeling.
"Doesnt Soobin like you though?" Yena asked turning to Soona.
"He's a good friend. That's all." Soona laughed awkwardly, she honestly didn't feel anymore.
"I see~ so you really are always the one to never fall in love." Yena nudged her arm.
"It's not important right? No one loves me." Soona looked up at the sky, she felt the sun shining down on her feeling warm.
"I think someone does." Yena says, pointing with her head toward Taehyun, who was looking their way.
"Not in a thousand years!" She says with a disgusted face.
"What about after 1,000?"
"No!"
