Chaewon POV
"You kept it?"
Hyeju gently grabbed the gift from the worker and analyzed the gift making sure it was hers.
"W-Well... You know... I did not mean to actually you know heh.." I scratched my nape as I explained.
Hyeju raised an eyebrow and smirked as I tried to explain things.
"Look, you left the place right away and didn't bring the god damn gift. So when I was about to go out of the café, some worker called me and told me I forgot something on my seat. And saw it, it was the gift that you were about to give to someone you.. love." I avoided eye contact for a while, "So, I couldn't say no and kept it. But I was planning on returning it because I was–"
Hyeju let out a chuckle as I was talking.
"What's so funny??" I raised an eyebrow
"It's just funny."
"How so?"
"Hahaha, it's cute seeing you being so defensive." she smirked
I- What- Huh?^]*{^]
"O-Okay.. Why that all of a sudden?" I looked away from her to avoid her seeing me blush the fuck out.
"Look, I'm glad you kept it though. I was scared that it might get stolen from others." she said as she looks at the gift
"Y-Yeah.. Glad I did haha.." I awkwardly said.
"Now, you can keep it forever." she offered the gift infront of me
"Huh? What do you mean?" I asked confusingly
"This was meant to be given to you Chaewon." she said as she smiles widely
"Wait.. But didn't you say.. that you were going to give this to someone you lo.....ve..." that's when I realized.
"Hyeju.. You like me?" I asked firmly and looked her in the eyes.
Seeing her face slowly turning red as I stared at her, waiting for the response.
"Yes. I do like you. I really do." she calmly confessed
I was speechless, this girl infront of me.. confessed in the middle of the street and made eye contact as if it was easy for me to handle. I don't know what to feel.. I felt happy yet nervous..
"Chaewon?" she looked at me concerned
"Sorry I have to go–" I turned away where I see the street and walked forward as if nothing happened.
Hyeju then grabbed my arm from behind and pulled me close to her.
"Did you just seriously turn around to get run over by a car? You're turning at the wrong direction Chae." Hyeju said
"I- Yeah.. Bye." I didn't look at her in the eye and just avoided her
"Chae!" she called, "Don't make me chase you.."
'Chase me?' Hah! As if
"Do you not like me Chae?" Hyeju's voice infront of me as I looked up, it was her.
"Jesus you scared me.. How the fuck did you chase me that fast?" I was startled at Hyeju suddenly showed up infront of me.
"Don't try to change the topic. I'm asking you, do you not like me?" Hyeju straightforwardly asked
