Chapter 12
narrative
"have fun yujin-ah!"
"thank mom," yujin replied sarcastically, climbing out of eunbi's car.
"i'll pick you up later," eunbi said, ruffling yujin's hair.
yujin sighed as eunbi drove away from the bowling alley. she hated that she was nervous. it was just her classmates, people she saw everyday.
she never really spoke to them though and that's what made her nervous. what if they didn't like her?
"yujin you made it!" yujin was greeted by an excited jiheon. she couldn't suppress her grin as the girl dragged her towards the bowling lanes.
"we have three lanes booked with six or five people at each," jiheon explained.
"okay thanks," yujin smiled as jiheon left her at one of the lanes.
there was only two other people there so far.
"oh hey yujin," someone greeted her as she arrived at the lane.
"hi..." yujin replied, feeling a bit shy. keum donghyun had been the one to greet her. nam dohyon was also here and nodded and smiled to yujin.
yujin sat in one of the seats quietly. donghyun and dohyun kept talking and she couldn't help but feel out of place.
donghyun seemed to notice yujin looked a bit down and elbowed dohyon.
"so yujin, have you ever been bowling before?" dohyon asked.
yujin couldn't help but feel grateful that they were making an effort to talk to her. she learned that donghyun preferred to be called keumdong and that dohyon was fluent in english.
"sorry we're late," yujin looked up to see two girls panting after running towards jiheon. cho kahyeon and jang wonyoung.
yujin was slightly surprised to find herself staring at the latter of the two girls. she looked away feeling her cheeks heat up.
"hi everyone," yujin looked up again to see kahyeon and wonyoung in front of them. "everyone's here so let's start bowling!"
yujin smiled and stood up. she felt like someone was staring at her but when she looked around it was just the same people as before still talking to each.
if she had only looked around a few seconds earlier she would have seem a young girl staring at her adoringly.
