How they ended up

I reached out to a book with my hand and took it to the nearby table and slammed it with a big 'thump'. I also sat on the nearest chair opening the book and randomly flipping through pages to see what kind of book was I reading.

"Hey, isn't that the book that came new today?" Jag-eun asked looking at the cover which I was holding up with my left hand.

It was a bit surprising for her to be asking these kind of questions since to me she didn't look the type to read or have any interest in books since I always saw her slacking off in classes. But shockingly she had good grades even for that. Now I think I have a bit of understanding why.

"Really," I followed up with her question. "To be honest I also don't know about it. But this is the first time I am seeing this book so I think yes."

"Ehh, wait, aren't you Jin-hoon from our class?"

"Yes. Why's that?"

"I thought you looked kind of a similar face but now I realize you are really Jin-hoon."

I smirked a little. "As a student of Class 2-3 it's truly fascinating to be remembered by the beauty of our class."

"Stop it. That's embarrassing. And why wouldn't I know you? We studied together for almost a year."

"People tend to forget me soon so it's a bit of surprising."

"You don't have to say it like that. My friends remember you."

Suddenly after phrasing those words she went into deep thinking and afterwards made a shocking face.

"But they don't really remember you in a good way."

"As a loner i suppose. I have that knowledge that people know me as a loner but I also have my friends in class."

"But you don't seem to hang out with them that much."

"... You could say that I only hang out with them for time killing."

"You know what? You're really giving me the vibe of a loner killer from a book that I read a long time ago. If I remember correctly the killer once also said the same thing just as you did."

"Are you assuming that I'll turn into that character? Don't joke around. I am not that kind of person. I like them. That's why I hang out with them only."

"But didn't you try to talk with the others?"

"No interest."

"Okay. I understand."

We went silent after that phrase. I also finished looking up on the book. I stood up and went to keep the book on it's respectable place. There another book caught my attention. It was a book that I read a long time ago. If my memory serves I think it was when I was a little kid stepping on my 10th door of my age. It was a book my friends gifted me when I started becoming attached to them. It was one of the books that made me fall in love with literature even more. The story about a couple where the girl had supernatural powers but the boy didn't and how they survived in the world where war was raging on for the discrimination between the ones who had that kind of power and the ones who didn't. It was a sad story how the boy and the girl had to be separated at the end of the story for their families and how one waited for the other till they died at the same time hoping to find each other together in heaven. I literally filled a bucket with my tears when I finished the book. It felt nostalgic to see the book after a long time.

"So you read this kind of book huh."

I was surprised a bit when Jag-eun crawled up from my behind.

"Read it a long time ago when I was little."

I put it back on it's place.

I looked at my phone and noticed a certain event.

"Well I have to be going now. A limited event on Heroes: Awakening started. I hope we'll talk later so it's now..."

"Ahh..." She screamed out. "This is the event I was waiting for and now I am neglecting this. Sorry. I have to go now. We'll talk later. Bye..."

She stood on her path and I was also left frozen. I didn't expect to find a gaming buddy there. And not to expect it was Jag-eun. From there we became gaming buddies and hanged out on the library for two months. I didn't expect to find many similarities with her. Eventually we started sharing each other some secrets that only a person would tell another who was close to him. Surprisingly she was also a hero geek like me. We eventually started hanging out together and as our bond became more than friends. She developed love interests for me. So a week ago from the present she proposed to me but I had to reject her. I didn't have any kind of feelings for her like that. I wanted to stay just friends. And we had little talk from there onwards and I also gave time to her to come out from the depression. That's now my current relationship with her.
