Fluttering Feelings (FanFic)

Chapter 72

[XX Restaurant]

Norae entered the restaurant and began to look around for Seol-A and Min Jeong. Min Jeong saw Norae and tried to wave to her.

Min Jeong:
Norae? Over here~!

Norae turned her head towards Min Jeong's direction, and immediately spotted Seol-A resting her head on Min Jeong's shoulder and quickly went to where they were.

Norae:
Hi, I'm Norae, you must be Min Jeong. Nice to meet you. How is Seol-a? Is she ok?

Min Jeong:
(.. she looks very worried) Ya, she is fine. She just fell asleep after crying for a long time.

Norae:
Sorry the traffic was heavy so it took some time to reach.. She was crying? What happened to her? *Looks at Seol-A with concerned eyes*

Min Jeong:
I had the same question. *frowns* She was like this the moment I got here.

Norae:
Seol-A.. Seol-A, can you hear me..? Are you able to wake up? *gently touches Seol-A's face*

Min Jeong:
*Observes quietly..* Hey Norae, let's call a cab and get her home together. This is not a good place to stay for now.

Norae:
Ok..

For some reason, Norae felt some angry stares coming from the shop assistant. *shudders*

[in the cab]

Seol-A was sleeping on Norae's lap at the back seats while Min Jeong sat at the front passenger seat. Norae was holding onto Seol-A to prevent her from rolling off the back seats with the car's sudden movements.

Min Jeong:
You..

Min Jeong looked at the back of the car towards their direction through the rear mirror, while Norae looked up at Min Jeong.

Min Jeong:
You seems to be quite close to Seol-A..? I've heard about you before. The girl who lived quite close to her right? You guys are from the same year and major and all..

Norae:
Ahh.. that's right, we do live opposite each other. Back then we were quite surprised when we found out about it too, haha.. (hmm..? did Seol-A talk about me to Min Jeong before?)

Min Jeong:
Hmm.. Then do you know why she is acting like this?

Norae:
.. Say what?

Min Jeong:
I've known this girl for a long time. Recently, she has been acting really weird. It was hard to get her to meet me in the first place as she was so busy throughout the whole break. And when we do meet, she acts all weird and depressed.

Norae:
Ahh.. we did take up a part time job together at a shopping mall during this break, work has been quite busy..

Min Jeong:
A part time job? Why would she need to do that? (I thought her family provides for all her needs..? So it really wasn't a boyfriend.. she has been spending her time with this girl all this while..?)

Norae:
Uhm.. she did mention that she earns most of her own allowance.. (i guess it is ok to reveal this much..?)

Min Jeong:
Is that so.. (something doesn't feels right)

Norae:
I wonder if something went wrong with her date today.. *murmurs subconsciously*

Min Jeong:
Her date? She was supposed to meet me today. I was rushing down late, and when I reached, she was already in this state.. did she tell you that she was going on a date? *frowned*
