10 The false hope.

Mijoo got up. The sun shining through the glass fell on her face. She was all charged up. Ready to go out.

The students entered the school and walked up to the class. Mijoo was already sitting on her chair. Era came and sat next her. 'Are you alright? The teacher said that you were sick.' Mijoo smiled. 'Yeah, I'm okay now. Thank you for asking.' Era smiled back.

The boys barged into the room. Yelling and screaming, playing around. Daehyun saw Mijoo sitting silently waiting. She was looking outside the window. The sun beams fell on her. Her face clearly showed that she was enjoying the moment.

It was break time. The class made their way to the back of the canteen. Their own spot. Daehyun came and sat next to the girls. The girls were gossiping about clothes of others, about the handsome and the ugly boys. Who would be the boyfriend material. 'What do you girls think about me?' Daehyun popped up.

'You are handsome, probably one of the few as first year students.' Answered one of the girls. The others agreed with her. Mijoo did not look up and stared at her hand. Since she woke up, she felt apathetic. Daehyun stole a glimpse of her. He took out his phone and send Mijoo a text message. She did not read it and excused herself to go to the lady's room.

'Is she alright? Mijoo was always silence but she looks so down today.'

'You are right. Even if she talks minimal, she doesn't look like that. Something must be bothering her.'

The girls felt bad for Mijoo. 'How about we write her up for the challenge. She can draw portraits of the visitors, even the students. I have seen her drawings, it's beautiful.' Era said. She took out her phone and showed the pictures she took while Mijoo was drawing. It looks magical. She draws exactly what she sees.

Daehyun wanted to look at the pictures too. He knows that she is good at drawing. She always had high scores in art class. She would even draw for others. She did draw for him too in the second year. It was his name, written in graffiti style.

Mijoo went outside to get some air. Why is she feeling so down? Should she just skip school and take a walk? Go to the little farm nearby? Maybe next time. She returns to the canteen.

In class. 'Hey Daehyun. Did you take my eraser? It was on top of my desk. I know you did it.' Dina started to complain. Here she goes again, thought Daehyun. 'Why would you think so? I don't even sit near you or pass by your desk. You keep coming at me at every little thing.' Dina looked with disgust on her face. Turned around and walked away. 'I am not in the mood to fight with you, okay.' Daehyun looked dumbfounded as she left. 'This girl has only you in her head~~. I say~~it's.' Toni sang. 'I say~~it's. Loooove~~.' Dave sang in a small voice as a background singer.

'We will see that after school. I'll start with you two first. Two hours of love, one by one and nonstop?' Dave shook his head. 'No, no no. No need for violence my friend. Just peace and love.' Daehyun judged them. 'I love you guys.'

'And we love you too, Daehyun.' Said Toni and Dave.

Mijoo was talking with Era. Era came up with the suggestion that Mijoo should draw at the challenge between the classes. Just like 14 years ago. It is the same now. Mijoo gladly accepted. 'We are definitely going to win.' Mijoo said. Because they did win the challenge back then. But who knows what will happen now.

Daehyun poked at Mijoo's shoulder. He waved his phone at Mijoo. Mijoo turned around. She took out her phone from the drawer.

'I may know the way for us to go back. Meet me behind the back entrance of the school.'

Mijoo made an okay sign with her hand, only Daehyun could see. But Dina was eyeing them. She saw it all and jealousy kicked in.

It was finally weekend. Most of the kids went out to have fun. As for Mijoo and Daehyun, they had their own problems. They walked some distance so the others wouldn't see them. 'I feel this weird sense. Like someone is watching us.' Mijoo looked around. Her sences were always good. 'I don't see anyone.' The laid back Daehyun, as always did not bother.

Mijoo was right. Dina was tailing them.

"let's keep walking.' suggested Mijoo. They turned around the corner and Daehyun suddenly grabbed Mijoo's hand. They run towards the apartment building. Someone just came out. Daehyun stopped the door from closing and took mijoo inside. They hide. Not long after, they saw Dina carefully walking by.

'What is she doing by following us? She is so damn annoying.' Daehyun blow up.

'Since the beginning of the year, she always picked a fight with you. Now that you have your attention on something else. It bothers her. She wants your attention. Sometimes relationships start with a fight. Don't tell me you have never watched a movie with any romance in it. Not even for 10 or 30 minutes... Not all of them are innocent as I am.' Mijoo didn't look at Daehyun when she said it. So embarrassing..

Daehyun bobbed his head. ' I see. But that does not mean she can stalk me? '

'I did way worse things didn't I. Zapping use back to the past.' Mijoo snapped. 'Let's just go, okay. She already saw us together. If your plan doesn't work, we have to come up with something. She may just tell the whole school about us being together right now. You need to know more about how girls operate.'

Daehyun shrunk. 'But you didn't do it on purpose.' He whispered.

Mijoo heard him. 'No I didn't.'

Daehyun was blown away by Mijoo's answer. 'You heard?'

'My sences are tiny bit stronger than normal people. That's all. And I am sorry that I snapped at you.' She let out a long sigh.

They went all the way up to the roof. Mijoo sat on the floor. Daehyun decided to stand. 'I thought about it. The only thing that can be thought of and done is, a reply to your confession.
