03. Blue Butterfly

That afternoon, Beomgyu was relaxing in his hideout. When he heard someone singing and as he searched for the source, Beomgyu saw a girl sitting under the tree where he was relaxing.

Beomgyu didn't know what to do? He just kept hiding behind that tree and listening to the girl sing, because her voice was so soothing. Until he heard someone calling the girl.

"What are you doing here?" When Beomgyu tried to see who the person was. He saw someone he knew, Choi Soobin.

Beomgyu stayed behind the trees while listening to their conversation. Until finally the girl and Soobin left the tree, Beomgyu kept looking at them until the shadow of both disappeared among the tall trees.

"Who is that girl? And she talked to Choi Soobin who never cared about anyone around him?" Beomgyu was confused to see Soobin actively talking to someone. Because the Soobin he knew was a quiet boy who wasn't talking to anybody. Soobin even ignored Beomgyu when he tried to talk to him. But he talked to the girl. It makes Beomgyu very curious. Until something hit his mind.

"Wait, how did they get here? I'm the only one who knows where this place is." Beomgyu realized that the girl and Soobin had just entered his secret place.

That tree is his hiding place, his secret tree. No one's ever been there but Beomgyu. He found the place a while back, when he came home from school. On the way to his house, Beomgyu used to walk through the park. Beomgyu had been through that road many times, but that day he saw a blue butterfly fly through him. That Butterfly is so beautiful as if Beomgyu's eyes follow directly where the butterfly fly. But Beomgyu suddenly saw an area that was surrounded by the steel fence with the big trees growing in it.

Beomgyu's never seen that area before. Or he's the only one who's never looked around, so he doesn't know that area exists. Beomgyu saw the blue butterfly fly back into the area and he followed the butterfly into the area. Beomgyu kept walking in through the bush, until he stopped in front of a big tree, The blue butterfly flew into that tree and suddenly disappeared.

Beomgyu was surprised to see the butterfly disappear. But he was so amazed by the look he saw in front of him. Beomgyu has never found such a beautiful and quiet place. That place makes him feel safe and sound, so he didn't want to go. Since then Beomgyu has decided that place is his secret. And no one else ever gets in the place or even know the place.

But now someone else knows the place. Makes Beomgyu anxious, whether he'll lose a place where only there he can feel comfortable and safe. "No way, it must be a coincidence they'll never come here again." Beomgyu tried to keep those thoughts out of his head.

The next few days, Beomgyu kept coming back to that place. To make sure if they're back there or not. But Beomgyu never saw them there. It was so relieved, knowing they never came back. He feels so happy and when he was about to go home, he decided to stop by the convenience store to buy something sweet.

Beomgyu finished shopping and was about to go home but his feet stopped, he saw Soobin and the girl. Beomgyu was frozen instantly in the spot but his eyes were still on the girl. He knows it's rude to keep looking at people, especially if the person is a stranger, but somehow Beomgyu can't turn his eyes away from the girl.

When the girl and Soobin were about to enter the convenience store, the girl realized what Beomgyu was doing. "Is there something in my face, Binnie, why is he keeps looking at me?" She asked Soobin, pointing out to Beomgyu who's still looking at her. Soobin looked straight at Beomgyu, who made Beomgyu turn his eyes elsewhere.

"Don't mind the freak kid, Byeol." Soobin pulled Byeol's hand with him and before they went into the convention store. Soobin looked back at Beomgyu and looked at him with angry eyes.

Seeing it Beomgyu immediately left the convenience store. Whether it's fear or shame, Beomgyu keeps running very fast towards his house.

"Binnie oppa do you know that boy?" Soobin got used to the nickname Byeol gave him. He didn't even protest when Byeol called him that in public or at home with their families.

"I told you not to mind." Soobin doesn't seem interested in answering the question any further, especially if it's about Beomgyu.

"I'm just asking." Byeol put on a frown because she was upset. Looking at Byeol's expression, Soobin sighed before he finally gave up.

"Okay, he's Choi Beomgyu. We're in same school but not in same class." Soobin just answered shortly, he was focusing on which ice cream he'd buy.

"Are you guys friends? It seems he's close to you, oppa." Hearing a statement that Byeol just made. Made Soobin turn his eyes directly from the ice cream towards her with an expression didn't believe in his face.

"I can't be friends with him, his mother did often come to visit grandma, but I never intended to be friends with that boy named Choi Beomgyu." Soobin felt a little upset, He no longer wanted to buy ice cream and decided to go home. But Byeol pulled his hand to stop him.

Soobin saw his hand that Byeol held, then looked at her face. Byeol is very sorry to have upset Soobin with her words. "I'm sorry if I upset you."

Soobin's sighing again long enough to calm his heart. "I'm not mad at you. Byeol-ah, sorry if I yelled at you."

Hearing that Byeol smiled at Soobin. "We'll get ice cream, right?"

Soobin who heard the simple question from Byeol made him laugh a little, nodded his head and take Byeol to pick ice cream with him.
