Today is Minji's birthday. Having everyone she loves to surround her on her birthday, made Lee Minji the happiest girl ever. But there was one special appearance that made her birthday better. It was her crush Sungchan. A tall, good-looking boy, who constantly flashes his smile, the only thing sweeter than his personality. Minji had known Sungchan since forever but that boy never fails to make her swoon. Every time he smiles Minji would fall head over heels for him all over again.

Sungchan slowly walked towards Minji, making her heart stopped.

"Happy Birthday Minji" the boy said with a smile, making Minji's heart beat uncontrollably.

He reached out for Minji's hand and put a small box on it. The contact made Minji crazy but she had to contain herself. She gave Sungchan a thank you before opening the box. Minji's eyes widened at the sight of the beautiful bracelet in front of her.

"This is so beautiful. Thank you so much Sungchan" she said while attempting to put the bracelet on.

Sungchan saw her struggling so he held her arm and put it on for her. Minji froze at the touch of his hand while her heart was beating like crazy.

"Wow. It looks great on you" Sungchan said. His words made her cheeks go pink as she tries to let out a thank you.

The bracelet quickly became her most cherished item not only because it was gifted by the one and only Sungchan but also because it was so beautiful and it looks great with any outfit.
                         ————————————
Summer was coming to an end and the school year was slowly creeping up so Minji and her friends decided to go out before the school year starts. Minji was really excited as Sungchan also decided to join them. She carefully prepared everything the night before. Outfits, jewelry.. you name it.

But the only thing she forgot was to set an alarm...

"Oh god" she groaned after realizing that she was late.

She quickly grabbed all her things and starts to get ready. She put on a pretty dress, pairing it with her favorite shoes and putting on her bracelet.

After she finished dressing up she rushed out of her house and starts to run to the hangout spot as it was close to her home.

Unfortunately for her the sun was much brighter that day, constantly blinding her with its sharp and blazing rays as she tries to run. Focused on the path in front of her, Minji didn't notice the figure that was walking out from the alley on the right side and she bumped into it. Despite that she chose to keep running not noticing the bracelet that slipped off of her. After she ran for a few meters she noticed the change in weight on her arm and she looked down.

Surprise at the sight of her empty arm she quickly turned back desperately trying to find her precious bracelet. She stopped as she saw the sight of a boy holding her bracelet, examining it.

"Hey"she shouted. The boy jumped, she clearly startled him. The boy stared at her in confusion as she ran directly towards him.

"Why is my bracelet in your hand?" she asked in an annoyed tone. Before the boy could say anything she continued.

"You look so well dressed yet you steal people's things? If I hadn't notice you probably would've taken it wouldn't you?"

The boy scoffed, clearly offended.

"Hey watch your words! Who are you calling a thief? First you ran into me and didn't apologize. Second you accuse me of stealing? Isn't this too ridiculous? I picked it up because I saw it laying on the floor. Get your facts straight before you go and accuse someone of stealing. Plus who would want your stupid bracelet anyways."

Then Minji said, "Oh please. Stop with the lies. You look like you're what? 15/16? Whatever. You clearly look like you're younger than me so at least show a little respect"

The boy rolled his eyes in annoyance

"Here. Have your stupid bracelet back" the boy gave Minji her bracelet back before turning away and continue to walk.

Minji gave the boy a glare before running towards the hangout spot again.
The boy, still taken aback at their interaction, shook his head and thought to himself:
"I swear to god weird people are everywhere these days"
