BREAKING the hug with Min-seok, Su-bin dramatically cried out, "You're so mean!"
"Oh my god- you're so annoying! Just shut up." Young-ja exclaimed.
"Yeah, can't you like just stop clinging to us?" Min-suk said.
Su-bin just shrugged her shoulders at the girl and walked away. She made her way to the entrance of the campus and looked around for Renjun.
As her eyes landed on the boy's figure, her heartbeat throbbed in her chest. He was simply standing in front of a bush wall with one of his hands in his pocket and the other holding his phone.
Approaching the boy, Su-bin felt her face heat up a bit as she stood in front of him.
"Hello!" Su-bin cheerfully greeted, a small smile on her lips.
Renjun looked upwards- away from his phone and greeted the girl back, "Hi."
His voice was soft and warm but the silence around them was awkward and stiff.
"So... how do we do this thing?" Renjun questioned.
Su-bin hummed as she thought of an answer. Thinking of all the gestures, she pushed her hand in front of Renjun.
"Hold hands?" Su-bin answered, her innocent-like eyes staring into his.
"Ah," Renjun mumbled and hesitantly held the girl's hand, placing his phone away.
A light giggle left Su-bin's lips making Renjun raise an eyebrow.
"What's funny?" He asked.
"Nothing. You're cute." Su-bin confidently said.
Renjun was slightly taken aback.
He rolled his eyes and then sighed, "No I'm not."
Su-bin shrugged her shoulders, "Then... handsome?"
She tilted her head a bit to see the boy's reaction. Stone-cold. That was his expression.
"Stop." He said and then slipped his phone out of his pocket.
Pursing her lips, Su-bin thought about the boy.
'He's definitely handsome. Is he insecure?'
'What if he knows it and is trying to get more compliments?'
'Wait. No, he's playing hard to get.'
'Yep. He is- wow, you're so smart Su-bin!'
Snapping out of her daydream, Su-bin looked down at her feet as silence carried over them. She had never felt so awkward in her life.
"Oh, did you hurt yourself?" Su-bin asked.
"No. Just a little headache," Renjun answered, his eyes trained on his phone.
Nodding, Su-bin tried to break the cold answers he was giving. "Have you always lived here? I've never heard about you."
Renjun shook his head as an answer which left Su-bin a little bored.
"So, you moved? From where?"
Renjun looked at the girl, "I'd rather not say."
"Oh," Su-bin muttered, her attempt fading away into more silence.
She thought about going on her phone too but she was too curious to do something else. Her eyes remained on the boy, looking at his cold expression.
"I heard you're quite popular," Renjun said.
Su-bin smiled at his non-cold comment, "I'm not that popular."
Renjun looked back at the girl, "Everyone says you're the second richest student on this campus."
"O-oh. I'm not that rich." Su-bin softly said, her eyes landing on the ground.
"Yet you have a handbag worth two thousand dollars." Renjun bluntly said.
"Umm- are you rich?" Su-bin asked, trying to divert the focus.
"No," Renjun answered.
"Oh. Sorry." Su-bin muttered.
"Sorry? Why are you sorry?" Renjun asked.
"Well, it's kind of a sensitive topic for a few people," Su-bin explained.
Renjun nodded his head and then let go of the girl's hand. Feeling the awkward tension grow back between the two, Su-bin stayed quiet for a few seconds.
Empty thoughts went around her head but she wasn't sure what to talk about next.
"Well, I'll be off then. See you around!" Su-bin said, waving at the boy.
