Afternoon:

"Where are you?" Jun asked.

The rain had stopped by the afternoon. The streets were still reflecting the shadows of the by-standing trees. This part of the city is not so crowded at this hour, only the mart behind him being the center of all silence breakers. Other than that, only birds' chirping could be heard.
Such a beautiful afternoon to have a walk around.

Yunhee fidgeted with the wire of her headphones for some seconds. She had already decided last night what she needed to do at this point.

"I am prepared for it now. I have to tell him that he's not supposed to enter my life like this when it's too puzzling; when I don't have a place for him here", it has been her hourly thought since morning. But now, actually when Jun is on the phone, her lips went dry. How should she start it?

"Umm Yunhee? Hello?" Jun repeated her name which grabbed her attention and she snapped out her thoughts.

"Yes, Jun I--"

"I am waiting here. Please be quick Yunhee-ya, I really don't want to get drenched by the rain.." his words trailed off making Yunhee sigh.

"Yeah, actually I didn't make it out of my house yet", Yunhee confessed, admitting her defeat, "please wait and I'll be there in ten minutes!" She got out of the bed and walked to the wardrobe to put on a decent top with her faded indigo jeans.

"You are.. you are still at your home?" Jun slapped his forehead lightly. "Come on, quick. It can rain again. Palli.."

"Yeah.. see you.."

Afternoon

Yunhee left the classroom and walked off the stairs quickly. She went to the first floor where the students' council office was.

She knocked at the door, on which, receiving a green signal, she walked in immediately.
"What's your name again? You came yesterday, right?" The senior, who was designated to be the vice school president, asked her.

"Yes, Min Yunhee," she replied.

"And you're looking for...?" He trailed off.

"A... A Chinese tuition class", Yunhee stated.

"Oh yes", he got up from the chair, idly walking towards a shelf and came back with a file in his hand.  He opened a particular page and displayed it to Yunhee.
"Note the number well. Name Moon Jae Hwi. He's the only ex-student of our school right now whom I know to run a Chinese tuition class."

Yunhee quickly took out her phone and saved the number under the name, "Chinese classes".

"But why suddenly Chinese?" The senior asked a question about his way out of his business.

But Yunhee didn't bother. "I just suddenly feel interested in this language. Thank you Sunbae", she bowed a little and made her way out of the room.

About an hour later, after reaching home and getting fresh, she went to her room and locked the door before trying to call the number she had brought from her school.

She nervously tapped the call option and waited for the phone to ring.
A male voice picked it up from the other side. "hello?"

"Hello my name is Min Yunhee. And I want to learn Chinese", she stated politely.

The person on the other end was startled by the sudden demand. "Ch-chinese? From me?"

"Yes, I got your number from our school council and I'm really willing to learn this language. I need to learn it", she said.
