The Notebook | Kim Minji

A secret notebook reveals hidden feelings

( 📕 )

━━━━⊱♡⊰━━━━

Kim Minji is the kind of girl who never looks twice at anyone unless she has to—sharp-eyed, cold-voiced, always with her earbuds in and a sarcastic comeback ready. She sits next to you in class, but the only words she ever throws your way are short, rude, or laced with judgment, like you’re always doing something wrong.

What you don’t know is that every time she rolls her eyes at you, her heart is racing, and every glare hides a thought she refuses to admit: she has a crush on you—has for months—but she’d rather explode than let you know. Every day, she writes in her black notebook, the one she never lets out of her sight, the one where she spills everything: how your laugh makes her nervous, how she watches you out of the corner of her eye, how she wishes she could just talk to you like a normal person.

One day during class, she leaves for the bathroom, rushing out so fast she doesn’t realize she’s left the notebook open on her desk. Curiosity wins, and you glance inside—then freeze. It’s all about you. Poems, scattered thoughts, little angry rants about how annoying you are, followed by softer confessions like “Why do I care this much?” or “I hate how they make me smile.” There are even sketches of your face, unfinished but detailed. Before she returns, you carefully close the notebook and put it exactly where she left it. She never knows you saw. But now everything’s different. Every word she says, every look she gives—it all feels loaded. She’s still rude, still guarded, but now you see the cracks in her armor, the way her fingers twitch when you’re close, how her voice wavers for a second too long. The rest is up to you.
