(⁠;⁠ŏ⁠﹏⁠ŏ⁠) || 20th century girl

1999. A chilly spring night. The phone rings in Bo-ra’s room.

*Yeon-du (on the phone)": “Bo-ra… promise me, okay? Watch over Hyun-jin for me while I’m gone. Just… make sure no one else likes him until I get back.”

Bo-ra (squeezing the phone, trying to sound casual): “Yah, of course. Who do you think I am? Na Bo-ra never breaks a promise!”

Bo-ra hangs up, staring at the ceiling. She doesn’t know yet that this promise will change everything.

At the broadcasting club, Bo-ra enters with her usual energy. She spots Woon-ho quietly setting up a camera.

Bo-ra (to herself): “Hmm… that’s not Hyun-jin. Who’s this guy?”

Woon-ho (without looking up): “Uh… excuse me, you’re blocking the light.”

Bo-ra (rolling her eyes): “Tch. Rude. At least say hello first.”

Hyun-jin walks in, laughing at something with his friends. Bo-ra’s eyes follow him—but somehow, her ears catch Woon-ho’s soft laugh in the background.

Days pass. Bo-ra spies on Hyun-jin for Yeon-du, but Woon-ho always seems to appear.

Bo-ra (scribbling in her notebook): “Hyun-jin eats bread with strawberry milk every morning. Hyun-jin always sits near the window… Yah, why are you looking at me?”

Woon-ho (smiling slightly): “I thought you were writing about me.”

Bo-ra (face heating up): “W-what? Don’t flatter yourself, camera boy!”

Yet later that night, Bo-ra can’t stop thinking about his smile instead of Hyun-jin.
