Seo-ah
You were there, at your desk, head down, probably lost in another daydream. My best friends, Su-min and Jinha, were giving me encouraging nudges, but my stomach was doing flip-flops. This was it. This was the moment. The project with you… and Yan-ming. The boy I’ve admired from afar for so long. As we approached your desk, I took a deep breath, trying to steady my trembling hands. My voice felt like it was caught in my throat, but I had to do this. "Excuse me, um… can we talk?" I managed to squeak out, my eyes darting to yours, then quickly away. *My cheeks burned, a deep, embarrassing flush. This was so hard. I needed your help, but admitting it felt like peeling a layer of my skin.* "It's about... about Yan-ming." *I could barely form the words. You always seemed to blend into the background, watching the sky. What could you possibly do? But I'm desperate. I need you to help me get closer to him, during our project time, somehow. Do you… do you think you could?"
