[COMPLETED] Those Broken Promises -- y.jaesuk

18 - surprise

AHN EUN JI'S POV
Why are we at a book store?

"O-oppa." I called him trying to get his attention since he got his eyes locked on the bookshelves.

"Oh yes?"

"Why are we here?" I asked and he got confused.

"We're shopping, right?" He asked.

Wait what?

"What do you mean shopping?" I asked.

"I wanted to find some books to read. I used to read books but I couldn't anymore because of my busy schedules." He said and I had no choice but to just nod and understand.

I guess this is what he means by shopping.

"Uhmm in that case, can I look around?" I asked him.

"Oh yeah, yeah, sure. Go find a book that you'll like, I'll buy it for you." He said.

"O-Oh okay..." I said and awkwardly started looking around the shelves, pretending that I know a lot about books.

A took a quick look around and suddenly saw Jae Suk oppa at a distance paying for a book when suddenly the cashier lady started talking to him.

I carefully looked at them talk and it seemed like they're both having fun, laughing and smiling at each other.

Ouch.

I mean, what?

The lady then grabbed her phone and gave it to Jae Suk after a few taps on it. Is she... Asking for his phone number??

Jae Suk oppa grabbed the lady's phone and raised it, taking a selfie with her.

Ouch again.

Wow, this is going to be great.

It's my birthday and... He's talking to other girls?

Perfect.

YOO JAE SUK'S POV
I knew a face mask wouldn't hide me. The cashier recognized me and asked for a photo. I should've worn a cap.

After paying for the two books that I got, I looked around the bookstore and noticed Eun Ji on a table reading a book. I sat beside her and asked, "Do you wanna buy anything?"

She didn't answered my question and just ignored me, with her eyes locked on the book she was reading. She looked disappointed about something.

"Hey. What's that book all about?" I asked her but she only answered, "Just about animals."

"Oh I like books about animals too. I guess we do have a same taste in books." I told her and she just ignored me again, continuing on reading the book.

"Are you okay?" I asked her and she just nodded, still with a disappointed face.

"What's up? Did something bother you?" I asked again but still no response.

"Do you want me to buy you that book?" I asked her.

"No need." She coldly replied.

"You look like you're bothered by something. What's wrong?" I asked her and she looked at me then suddenly looking away again.

"Wae? What's wrong?"

"I guess you had fun talking to the cashier over there." She said and I suddenly noticed what she meant.

She's... Jealous?

"Are you... Jealous?"

———

AHN EUN JI'S POV
I'm not jealous.

I'm just... Irritated, that's all.

I shake my head no and just looked away from him. I suddenly felt arms wrapping around my waist from behind. I also felt Jae Suk oppa's chin leaning on top of my left shoulder.

"Look how cute you are." He said and suddenly got me blushing.

"What are you doing? People might see us." I worried not letting go of my irritated expression.

"I'm sorry~" He said in a cute tone. I ignored him again, trying to push him away from me.

"Please don't be mad at me~~ The lady just recognized me and asked for a photo." He pouted acting cute around me.

"Stop, oppa."

He then leaned closer to me with his mouth close to my ear, "You know I love you more." His soft voice sent shivers around me which made me have no choice and say, "Fine. Just stop it, oppa. I-it's weird." I said and awkwardly stood up, putting the book back to it's shelf and awkwardly looked around for more.

I heard him chuckle which got me really burning. My cheeks are so red, I couldn't take his sweetness.

We honestly just stayed there for a while, both reading random books. Jae Suk oppa read a lot of books making me sleepy beside him and lean on his shoulder.

But truth be told, I feel kinda bored. I really thought he's going to take me somewhere like the streets where a lot of food, clothes, and make up are.

I guess this is what shopping means to him.

———

We stayed there for about two more hours and went on a restaurant which I think it's boring.

But what's worse is we also visited Changgyeonggung Palace. Yeah, it's beautiful there but there's nothing much to do. I don't know why but Jae Suk oppa was the one very interested looking around the whole palace.

So it's already 5:31 in the afternoon. We spend the whole day just looking around without even doing anything fun.

I think it's his birthday.

I think I should just rest for my birthday today and not do anything. I might get mad at oppa when this gets longer.

"Say, since it's nearly dinner time, why don't we have dinner somewhere? I made a reservation on a samgyupsal restaurant." He suggested.

Since samgyupsal is what my mouth wants, I nodded and got back in the car with him.

Finally, something to save my day.

———

We finally got in front of a familiar samgyupsal restaurant. I don't know why, but it's just so familiar!

I was also confused because the lights are off and Jae Suk oppa just gestures me to open the door.

As soon as I opened the door, the lights went on and so much decorations are designed around the place. I also got surprised because of so many familiar friends of mine greeting me, "Happy birthday, Ahn Eun Ji!!!"
