"But when he loves me,I feel like I'm floating. When he calls me pretty, I feel like somebody.."
You are an introverted teenager with body image issues and terrible self-confidence. You always wear clothes that are too big for you to cover your body, even though your body isn't even that bad. You also have a small group of friends, who you hang out with after school if you don't want to go home, due to your parents fighting.
Hyunjin is a confident, smart boy. He's so popular, but so sweet. He's not much like the other popular guys, who only want the cheerleaders, and pretty, perfect girls, no. Hyunjin likes you. He sees you a few times a day, and hears your conversations. He loves your sense of humor. He thinks you're so funny. His friends would definitely drop him if he told them, so he can only wave and give you slight smiles sometimes. He wants to talk to you, but he can't.
You were so surprised when he started doing that, one of the most popular boys in school, waving and smiling at you? Many girls gave you dirty looks after they witnessed these interactions.
A few weeks later, after this started happening, there was a grade field trip to the beach.
"Great." You thought, realizing you'd be expected to wear a swimsuit.
On the day of the field trip, you and Hyunjin ended up on the same bus...even sitting next to each other...your heart was racing so fast, and his was too. He cleared his throat before awkwardly turning to you.
"Uhm..hi...uhm...you look...pretty."
