The Devil's Sweetheart

135

Yong-sun frantically searched for Landon in the entire lawn, but she didnot find a trace of the man. When Yong-sun was close to making a call to ask him where exactly he was, a voice heard from behind, causing her to drop the mobile. ''Hey, Loose case, What are you searching for?'' Moonbyul asked as he picked the mobile from the ground.

Yong-sun turned around with a start, and not even in her dreams would she have imagined Moonbyul here. ''What are you doing here?'' Yong-sun asked in surprise. Wait...that's not the point. He called me a loose case!

''To meet you,'' Moonbyul replied, standing a little far away from her.

''Why?'' Curiosity killed the cat. Yong-sun's gaze shifted to his fully loaded hands. A basket in one hand and a paper bag in another hand

''Obviously, to thank you for saving me,'' Moonbyul added and then placed a basket in her hand. ''This is your thank-giving gift.''

''What is this?'' Yong-sun opened the lid of the basket and was stunned to see bananas. ''W-ho gives bananas as a gift?'' Innocently, Yong-sun asked. She eats bananas, but getting bananas as a gift? It's a little weird.

What the hell! Didn't that narcissist Jennie told girls like bananas? ''Y-ou don't like it?''

''I like them, but-''

''Fair enough.'' Moonbyul stopped Yong-sun's thoughts. ''Banana reduces weight when you eat in the morning, and you badly need them.'' Moonbyul blatantly remarked.

''Oh.'' Yong-sun's emotions were down in the pour hearing Moonbyul's brash comments. She is not overweight, though! Infact, her weight is ideal. Does he prefer skinny girls?

Clearing his throat, Moonbyul handed the paper bag to Yong-sun. ''This is also a thank-giving gift.''

''What is this?'' Yong-sun was once again stunned today. She must be honored to get a gift from the great Gynophobist. She quickly unboxed the package, and her mouth wide opened at the sight of the present. ''Ummm, s-ocks?''

''Indeed, it is socks.'' Moonbyul continued. ''Wear it in the night. It will keep you warm.'' Moonbyul replied. He searched girl's shops from morning to afternoon, but he didnot know what to pick up as a gift. Moonbyul called Jennie if she can lend a hand, but she rejected his call again. So, in the end, he chose socks because one can never have enough socks. ''You know, I am obsessed with socks. I even wear it to the bed.''

''Oh.'' Was her reply. What a weird habit? No wonder a girl never approached him in the school. If she voiced her thoughts, her head would hang upside down.

''Alright. I will take my leave.'' Moonbyul flashed a smile at her causing her heart to skip a beat.

Placing her hands over her heart, she shook her head. ''His smile!''

Yong-sun muttered as she settled on the bench, looking at the basket and the pair of socks. She will be made fun of if she says to her colleagues that she got bananas and socks as gifts. The Moonbyul she has seen in the school is very different from what she witnessed today. Although Moonbyul was senior to her, Yong-sun knows well about their group because of her brother, Austin.

''What do I do with these?'' With a sigh, Yong-sun got up and walked inside the hospital, hiding the basket so that her colleagues don't peep into it.

....

On the other hand, in the car, Moonbyul made another plan for his next meet-up with Yong-sun. Slowly, he will befriend her, and when he gains her trust, he will extract the information about that criminal. The thought of putting Landon behind bars amused him. With a happy grin, he texted Jisoo if they catch up for a drink. [To: Chu: Are you at home or still at the firm? Let's meet up]
