There once was a lady named Nuuri. She was thrown into the life of a single parent after the death of her beloved husband. He was involved in an airplane accident and the news was especially devastating as at the time, Nuuri was 7 month pregnant while working to support for the child’s survival. As the time came for her to give birth she saw so many other new mothers with their husbands by their side. She felt as if life itself was against her but she knew she must battle through what life has thrown her way for her child. 5 years passed since the tragedy and Nuuri finally saved enough money for her darling daughter to go through her schooling years. That young girl was called Belinda.
“Mummy, let’s go I want to go to school now” said Belinda, bobbing up and down with excitement. Even though she was young she was persistent in learning and getting good grades. She was very organized and more mature than most people in her grade, but this didn’t stop her from making friends easily. Before long, she had made two best friends; Yuki and Dora. She also had a guy friend name Ryeowook. Although the two youngsters didn’t know it yet (being so young and naïve), they’re already sharing a strong bond. Belinda’s friends were like her in many ways. Yuki was known for her natural ability to make everyone laugh. Dora may not be so mature but she is such a happy and positive girl that anyone around can’t help but feel the same. As for Ryeowook, he was a sweet little boy who may not be mature all the time, but has the potential to grow into a fine gentleman. In Belinda’s view, there are no better friends out there than those she already have.
As life went on the 3 besties were closer than ever and Ryeowook has developed a crush he has not found the courage to tell anyone. He began to silently let out his feelings by giving Belinda a bunch of roses every morning. As he grew older, he became more and more unsure whether his actions were “loud” enough for Belinda to understand. But still he continued, blushing slightly every morning without a fail as he passed his feelings on in the form of flowers.
As the days turned to years; 10 years to be exact. This group continued their friendship through to high school. Belinda, Yuki, and Dora are now 15 while Ryeowook has just turned 16.
“Hey Belinda, come on lets go we will be late for class” says Yuki.
“I’m bored, I don’t really want to go to class” whined Dora.
“Ok Yuki come on. Dora we must go” replied Belinda. They all had the same class. Along the way they meet Ryeowook.
“Ummmm… hi Belinda” mumbled Ryeowook, looking at his feet. Only Belinda seemed to have heard it as although he spoke as quietly as a mouse, Belinda have grown so use to it over the years.
“Hi Ryeowook” smiled Belinda at him. Ryeowook blushed as always, his face as hot as boiling water. The four walked to class together. As the class started the Japanese teacher announced.
“Now everyone before we start we have a new exchange student his name is Gaara”
“Welcome Gaara to my Japanese class please sit next to Ryeowook and Belinda. If you need help ask Ryeowook or Belinda. Ok?”
“Ok. Sure Miss” responded Gaara. The moment he entered, Belinda felt her heart start to race. One look and she felt like she was going to melt on the spot. She blushed as their eyes met. “Wow, he’s so cute and I can’t believe he is sitting next to me,” whispered Belinda to Yuki and Dora. As the class went on Belinda couldn’t help but sneak glances at Gaara. Gaara didn’t talk much in that lesson but when the lesson was over he turned and faced Belinda.
“Excuse me, but do you have English next?” Gaara asked. Belinda blushed while Ryeowook, who saw and watched every second of them talking, grew steadily more jealous.
“Umm ... yes, you do - I mean, I do ... I can take you home - no class! Want you - I mean, want to?” stumbled Belinda. “Great going Belinda,” She scolded herself internally, “the first chance you get to speak to the cute guy and you embarrass yourself.”
“Oh thank you, that’s very thoughtful. By the way you’re very pretty and cute and I wouldn’t actually mind you taking me home. But how about we get to know each other at this gorgeous little café not far from here first? Is next week good for you?” Gaara teasingly replied in his cool deep voice.
That week seemed to tick by at snail’s pace, but the day Belinda had been waiting for finally came. Belinda was going to have her dream lunch with her dream guy Gaara! Just the thought made her so excited that she couldn’t stop smiling even if she tried.
“Guess what guys, Gaara and me are going to the café today, I can’t believe today is the day. It is like a dream come true!” Belinda squealed cheerfully to Yuki, Dora, and Ryeowook.
“That is… great Belinda… but do be careful!” replied Ryeowook.
“Don’t worry Belinda is going to be fine, she knows what she is doing and if she feels happy then we all should be happy for her, right?” replied Dora.
