Are You Okay?
Class Meetings

Learning at Junior High has passed until Ara reaches class later this year. He did not feel he had spent three years at this school until he arrived at a final event before graduation which is always held every year. Meeting Class. This event held many individual and group races that were enlivened by final grade students who would graduate after they all successfully ran the school exam. However, there are some games that can be followed by first and second graders.

In the decision to choose the organization at that time, Ara finally chose to join OSIS and served as secretary. Jaehwa obviously joined as well because he was the most intent, he served as vice chairman, pretty cool Ara admitted. Micha's? The woman actually followed Ara, she also joined the osis and served as secretary two, arguably she was Ara's assistant. The two women became closer because of their interactions that almost always meet and work together in carrying out tasks.

This class meeting also regulates the event is a member of the isa, but the Ara force only takes a little duty, because they are the owners of the show. While the rest is left to members of the isis and other junior administrators.

Before the race begins, all students from first to third grade are required to do gymnastics first in the school field. When the school entrance bell had rung, all the students were directed to make a march of warakatan, but the third-class force was in the middle between the first and second-class forces.

"Ara-ya," called Jaehwa on Ara who was wearing a brown cat ear-shaped bandana as a sweetener for her beautiful hair.

Ara. "Hi, Jaehwa, why?"

Jaehwa smiled broadly at Ara who looked adorable while wearing a bandana on his head.

"You're so funny wearing that" Jaehwa praised.

Confidently, Ara chimed in, "Everyone knows that."

Jaehwa. "You're right."

"You're not going to the field?" ask Ara.

"To the field, with you. Come on." Jaehwa stretched out his hand into the air, waiting for the hand of the woman before him to be pinned down on the thread from him.

"Just bring Ara?"

Micha's sudden voice shocked Jaehwa until the man stroked his own chest. How not, Jaehwa thought that in this class only he and Ara were left, but there was Micha as well. Micha had always been with Ara, but since then the woman had been sitting under the table and was blocked by two chairs which made Jaehwa unaware of her presence.

Ara laughed at the surprised Jaehwa.

"Why didn't you tell me he was here?" jaehwa said to Ara.

"You didn't ask," Ara replied simply then looked at Micha who came out from under the table and stood beside Ara.

"So, who are you going to the field with, Ara?" asked Micha, the woman brought her face closer to Ara with a big smile but no crease in her eyes. His lips were smiling, but his eyes were glaring. Ara understood the meaning of this expression.

"Of course with you, where might I go with him." Ara pointed at Jaehwa, one hand embracing Micha's shoulder. "It was lazy" continued Ara, then went to the field with Micha, leaving Jaehwa alone in the classroom.

As Ara and Micha descend the stairs to the ground floor, Micha looks back and Jaehwa is behind them half-run, pass the two and stop in front of them. Ara and Micha stop their legs.

"Ara, haven't you noticed anything all this time?" ask Jaehwa.

Ara swooped her eyebrows and briefly looked at Micha. "Aware what?"

Jaehwa exhaled his breath rough. "Someone likes you, initials J."

Ara didn't know this at all. But Ara's question is, what did Jaehwa tell her and why should he say it.

"DID?" Ara recounts the initials of the man Jaehwa was referring to.

"But not me" Jaehwa said, correcting Ara's real answer by no means thought that the person who liked him was Jaehwa himself. Not thinking there at all.

But because Jaehwa already said if it wasn't him, Ara's brain spontaneously thought the man named with the prefix J was who.

"He's in class with us? Jooa? Jae-in?" Ara mentioned the two names of the men that one class had with her. In Ara class there are only three men whose names start with the letter J regardless of the family.

Jaehwa walked backwards while shrugging both shoulders, then left.

Ara screeches. "Please, it's not obvious to him" he sneered as Jaehwa just walked away.

Micha who was just silent from earlier now so stared at Ara long enough with narrowed eyes. Scrutinize.

"What?" ketus Ara's.

"You're really insensitive, anyway. I feel sorry for him like this." After saying this, Micha walked ahead of Ara.

As for Ara, she still stayed in place, folding both her hands in front of her chest with her shrunken mouth irritated. "Followed? Why are they speaking such ambiguous sentences? I don't understand what that means."

...***...

Half of the event has taken place as planned, now entered during the break, all students are competing to the cafeteria to get food and drinks that can replenish their energy before continuing the next event.

Ara was sitting in the school corridor sipping a bottle of cold drink that Micha gave her before the woman went to see the teacher in the office, she said there was a need.

When Ara sipped a drink again, the corner of her eyes accidentally looked at Jaehwa who was chatting with two alumni of this school. The school allows the alumni to attend this class meeting event so that the atmosphere is more lively with the number of people present. And the two female alumni who were standing in front of Jaehwa were the upperclassmen who were very close to the man. Real close. So it was only natural that they were chatting together at this moment. It seemed like their chat was very exciting because Ada could see that the two alumni were laughing.

Ara knew the alumni as well, just not too close, but had a chat once in a while while while they were still in school here.

Honestly, Ara's vision was only on Jaehwa. The woman seemed to see something different from the current Jaehwa, the man so looked so cool when his long hair was half wet from sweat. Ara herself until unconscious if she gulps down the drink she has at once, whereas previously she had only drank a little. It seems that Ara is not sane.

Ara blinked and turned her gaze in the other direction, the bottle that continued to be on her lips immediately she came off as the two alumni looked at her. It was as if they were talking about him. Though Ara did not know the truth, but she felt so after being stared at like that.

...***...

"Should I tell you that Jaehwa likes you as a woman?"

"Are you not so worried that the little cares Jaehwa gives you are a form of affection for you?"

Damnit damnit!

The words that came from the two mouths of Jaehwa's alumni friends continued to spin in Ara's head these days. After the class meeting was over, two of Jaehwa's alumni friends approached him who was cleaning up some of the event equipment. They say that Jaehwa likes her as a woman.

Ara did not think that Jaehwa liked her, not anyone else. Now he understood why at that time Jaehwa said that there were people who liked him with the initials J, but why strangely Jaehwa even immediately dismissed the fact that it was not him he meant. That, would make Ara even less think that the man was the one.

After remembering again, it is true that Jaehwa always gives little attention to him. Always teasing himself, whether making himself upset, work on him by taking his bag and then placed on a high locker so that he can not reach, or others. Ara is unaware that it is a sign Jaehwa gave her, a sign to show Ara that the man is falling for her.

But Ara did not know the meaning of all that.

At first Ara was just ordinary, but after knowing that, she kept thinking about Jaehwa. After he found out about this, Jaehwa said he had no news, the man did not contact him again. Usually Jaehwa always sends random messages or calls to say unimportant things to Ara, but now it is no longer.

Ara tries to muster up the courage to contact Jaehwa first, she wants to ask him the truth about what the alumni have told her, Ara wants to hear it from Jaehwa directly.

Ara tapped her finger to find Jaehwa's name on her contact and swallowed it.

The night breeze on the balcony of this room strongly supports Ara's nervousness now. Somehow he got nervous like this, but Jaehwa was just his friend. Damn, his brain can't think carefully.

Long enough for Ara to wait for a response, Jaehwa finally receives a phone call from her.

"Hello." Jaehwa made a sound from across the street.

"Are you busy?" I had a very stiff question, Ara.

"No, why?"

Ara frowned. The intonation and the words, it's like it's not Jaehwa. It's too cranky and sounds rushed to end a conversation that's even just beginning.

Therefore, Ara immediately spoke to the point.

"May I ask you something?" ask Ara.

Jaehwa allowed it, but with a murmur.

Ara did not immediately ask, the woman was busy biting her nails because she was embarrassed to ask.

"So not—"

"W-do you really like me?" ara cut off Jaehwa's sentence. Ara closed her eyes not believing herself to actually ask like this. Even though he was just asking to make sure something, not shooting someone to be his girlfriend, but he was pounding himself.

Jaehwa did not immediately reply, sounding a subtle sigh from the man. "Yes, then why?"

Why does Jaehwa sound so cold once— thought Ara.

"Why didn't you tell me directly?" said Ara.

"If I say it directly, do you want to be my girlfriend? No, right?"

Ara was silent herself hearing Jaehwa's words. Pretty long.

"I—"

Late to reply, Jaehwa turned off his phone unilaterally. The woman stared at Jaehwa's name on her phone with her head full of questions about what she should do now. She worries about herself because of Jaehwa's feelings for her. Because actually he did not feel anything at all for the man. Ara only considers Jaehwa as her friend.

Jaehwa is right, there is a possibility if he rejects the man's love if Jaehwa says it directly to him. It would make the man hurt, it was better not to say it or tell the truth through an intermediary alone, and Ara did not need to give any answer.

That's right.
