She Was Starting to Have Feelings For Him!

Han Sora entered her classroom and sat in the last bench near the window. She sighed and rested her head on the table. 'Why did he not come? Is he sick?' She started to think in her mind. Not even a day of Han Sora used to pass by without having a look at Lee Yi Kyung. Whenever she used to see him, she used to smile and stay cheerful for the day but whenever she didn't see him she used to become silent.

And right now, when he wasn't there she became grumpy. Thinking that he won't come for the day, she let go and took out her Mathematics textbook. The first period was Mathematics so, she kept the book open and waited for her Math teacher to arrive.

All the students stood up to wish as a middle aged woman entered the classroom followed by a 19 year old boy in his school uniform. As Han Sora looked at the boy following their Math teacher, a flashy smile crept up on her face.

She joyfully wished and sat back on her seat. After listening to a few scolds from the teacher, Lee Yi Kyung pulled back the chair in front of Han Sora and sat on it. He turned back and waved at her. "Yo!"

Han Sora also waved back and she pouted her face "I thought you were not gonna come today. Why did you come so late?"

Lee Yi Kyung thought back to what happened and his face instantly glowed. Nonchalantly, he replied "I just missed the bus!"

They all stopped talking when the teacher started the explanation. While Han Sora focused completely on what the teacher was teaching, Yi Kyung was touching his hair continuously with a bashful smile crept on his face.

During the lunch hour, both Sora and Yi Kyung walked together towards the cafeteria. They took their own plates and sat separately with their group of friends. While Sora wished that she could sit close to Yi Kyung; Yi Kyung wished that he was the same age as Seohyun so, that he could work with her together and eat with her together. Each of them had different thoughts running in their mind.

Since, Yi Kyung was very popular at school, he had a huge group of friends. He was very chatty and handsome just like a popular rich guy.

Sora was also very chatty but due to her being dark skinned, no one ever paid attention to her and she kept herself shut... Her only friend in the school was Yi Kyung. That is why she slowly, slowly started to feel her friendship turning into love. She wanted to be his girlfriend and give him all the love which she had.

"Did you start preparing for the test which is day after tomorrow?" Han Sora asked while holding the straps of her school bag. She looked down and walked because she was shy of looking him in the eye.

"Nope!" Yi Kyung replied calmly as he waved goodbye to his friends. After walking a little further away from the school, Yi Kyung smiled and said "Why do I have to start studying before you?"

"Huh?" Han Sora looked up. Yi Kyung was so tall than her. Han Sora was just 5'3 and Yi Kyung was 5'10. He was just like a tower for her. Han Sora stretched her neck to see his face and asked "What do you mean by that?" She asked with a questioning look on her face and then held the back of her neck "Aishh! Why are you so tall?"

Yi Kyung chuckled at her question.

"Hey! You don't have to laugh for such a thing... Ahh! My neck.." Han Sora held her neck and looked down. She then asked "You won't be writing the test?"

Yi Kyung stopped laughing and looked down at her sternly. He said in a stern voice "Of course, I will write the test..."

"Then?"

Yi Kyung thought for a while and then said "Become my tutor!"

"What?" As Sora heard it, she looked up at him completely surprised. She yelled in disbelief and Yi Kyung repeated again. "Yes, You are good in studies so, teach me…"

Seeing her surprised expression, he sighed and said "I will even pay you, just teach me!"

Han Sora realized that it was one of his pranks and said "Do you take me as a joke or what?? Ahh!! I thought that you actually want me to teach you... LOL!!" She held her belly and started to laugh loudly.

Yi Kyung saw her laughing. He scratched his head and felt at a loss of words. Walking closer to her, he held her hands and said "I really need you to teach me. My grades are going really down... so, please, please teach me!"

Sora immediately stopped her laughing and looked at him flabbergasted. She saw his hands holding hers and she blinked continuously. With a confused look on her face, she asked "You.. really want me to... teach you?"

"Yes!" Yi Kyung rubbed her hands and she blushed. She then removed her hands from his grip and held her bag straps again.

"Okay, alright then... I will get going..." Quietly, Han Sora gave a nod and started walking. Her heart was beating faster and her face was heating up. There was no way that she could show her face to him, so she immediately bid him goodbye. It was like a dream come true for Han Sora. Finally, she was going to spend some extra time with him...

Yi Kyung saw her leaving and loudly said "Thank you! Come to my house tonight and we can study there. Goodbye..." He screamed.

Han Sora heard his yell and her heart beat even faster. She blushed and ran faster to her home.

Lying on her bed with a thump, she laughed crazily. "Ahh, I can't believe it... He wants me to come over his house?" She tapped her legs on the bed happily and screamed. "Ahh, this is just like a dream..."

Joyfully, she got out of the bed and took out her photo album. "I wonder if his house changed or not?" She started to look at the photos of her childhood.

Back then when she was barely four years old, she and her parents used to stay at Yi Kyung's house. Sora's father worked in Yi Kyung's father's company so, they knew each other very well. When Yi Kyung's father got to know that Sora's father's house was getting reconstructed, he bought them over to his house.

And they all treated Sora's family with deep love and affection. And just like this, Sora also became friends with Yi Kyung. Both Yi Kyung and Sora were childhood friends. He was just a year older than her and he used to treat her very comfortably.

She flipped the pages of the album and saw a photo in which her and her sister were standing beside two boys. While one boy who stood between Seohyun and Sora was short, the other boy who stood beside Sora was tall. The one who stood between Seohyun and Sora was Yi Kyung while the one who stood beside Sora was Yi Kyung's older brother, Lee Junsu.

Sora smiled as she touched the photo and remembered how the particular photo was taken. She looked at Lee Junsu and said "I wonder whether you are still the same or not..."

When Sora was 4 years old, Lee Junsu was 12 years old. He took care of her just like a brother and she also liked him as a brother.

She laughed as she saw her and Yi Kyung's same to same pose. "I think everyone grew up fine except for me..." Sora said in a depressed tone. She noticed her sister growing into a beautiful young lady, Yi Kyung into a handsome and popular school boy and for Lee Junsu, she knew that he was still the same... But then there was her... Even after these many years, she was short in height, she was very thin and she was dark skinned.

Sometimes, she felt that life was unfair. Because everyone around her were beautiful, tall and fair. But she felt that it was okay for whatever or however she was. She believed that one day she would find someone who would accept her just the way she was.

And she thought that she had found the right person for her. She was happy that Yi Kyung accepted her just the way she was.

At 5 in the evening, Han Sora received a call from Yi Kyung. She immediately picked up the call and answered. "Hello?"

On the other end, Yi Kyung's ferocious voice was heard "Han Sora! Where the hell are you?"

As Sora heard his raging voice, she immediately chose the clothes which came in her hand and started to dress up. "I'm just on my way!" She said while wearing her faded jeans.

Honestly, why it took so much time for Sora to get ready was because she was thinking on what dress to wear. She felt her mind turning blank as she saw her cupboard full of clothes... As she heard his raging voice through the phone, she realized that it was better to pick up any thing and she chose a faded jeans and black ruffled top.

She didn't find any time to adjust her hair, so she kept them open and walked out of the room holding her school bag in hand. As her mother saw her heading out, she asked "Where are you going, Sora?"

Stopping at the door, Sora took a deep breath and replied "I'm going to teach..."

"What? Teach?"

"Yeah!" Sora nodded her head repetitively and wore her white and black sneakers.

As she got out of the house, she exhaled deeply. "Thankfully, he is just staying a few blocks away from our house... Otherwise, if he was to stay farther away... Yi Kyung wouldn't have left me alive today!"

Taking long strides, she walked over to his house.

*DING-DONG*….*DING-DONG*

She rang the doorbell and observed the house. They surely had a huge house... 'I think this is the only house which is this big in this area!' She thought and looked at the door.

*KERCHAK*

The door opened and she immediately bowed. As a grey pant came in her view, she thought of that person as Yi Kyung's father and greeted without looking up "Hello Uncle! I'm Han Sora, Yi Kyung's classmate... I'm here to teach him!"

The person who stood in front of her laughed and moved closer "Do I look like an Ahjusshi to you, Han Sora?"

As Han Sora heard a different voice, she looked up and saw a handsome standing before her. She had thought of this person to be Yi Kyung's father but No... He was....
