Yeongja had many thoughts as she walked alongside Seojun.
Her first thought was why she retracted her rejection towards the boy.
Simply because I was sorry. Guilty?
The second was why did the boy offer in the first place. That wasn't too hard to figure out.
He said he was sorry.
And then that led to the third...
Why was he sorry?
Yes, he apologized for causing me trouble, he said. He was sorry because of that. But why?
"Why don't you walk much, Tomato?" Asked Seojun, his voice startling Yeongja a bit as their trip had mostly been silent.
Yeongja cleared her throat, "Uhm...I just don't." She said quietly before adding, "And stop calling me that."
"Mm, but why?" The Han boy pried, pretending to not have heard her protest.
Yeongja's eyes darted all of the places, as she tried to figure out how to answer her classmate without lying.
"I used to get rides to places. From my parents." She answered catiously.
Seojun raised an eyebrow as hs cut his eye over at the girl. For a second he wondered if this was something he shouldn't have brought up, thinking maybe the worst had happened to Yeongja's parents. Like the worst had happened to his dad, even. The Kim girl's next statement cause Seojun to let out a small side in relief, however.
"They're busy these days." Yeongja added, "Want me to catch the bus." She said more quietly and Seojun frowned.
"But we're walking."
"I don't like the bus." Yeongja exclaimed.
"Who does? It's mostly filled with other mean high schoolers or even middle schoolers." Seojun said, not quite picking up on the drop in the girl's tone, "And then there's usually the drunk ahjussi in the back or the judging grandma." He continued to list, "That's why I ride my-" The Han boy stopped everything immediately. "Shit." He muttered.
"What?" Yeongja frowned as she looked up at the boy.
"My bike. It's at the school." Seojun said, utter horror on his face.
