Cupid Next Door [ YEONJI ]

Chapter Dix-Neuf

It has been a week since that birthday party, which both had detested. Yeji and Yeonjun were cuddling on the couch when they heard the doorbell ring. Yeonjun got up first, followed by Yeji. "I'll get it." He said and made his way towards the door. Once he opened it, he was met by no one other than... "Felix?" Yeonjun said, amazed by the person in front of him.

Felix seemed just as shocked as Yeonjun because he didn't expect to find his old friend in Yeji's apartment. "What are you doing here?" They both said in unison. "Me? I live here." Yeonjun replied fast. "I thought this was Hwang Yeji's apartment. Is she your relative or something? That's why you live together?" Felix continued as he was looking behind Yeonjun, trying to catch a glimpse of Yeji.

"No, we aren't related. She's my girlfriend." Once Yeonjun said those words, Felix's eyes widened. "Oh my..." He managed to say before letting out a sigh. "Okay, I'll see you again, bye..." Felix said fastly and hurried down the stairs. "Wait! But why did you come here?" Yeonjun's question was in vain because Felix had already left the building. "Hm... weird." He whispered for himself and closed the door.

Yeonjun entered the kitchen and saw Yeji eating an ice cream. "Who was it?" She asked as she was enjoying the frozen delight. "Felix." He responded simply as he took an ice cream for himself from the freezer. It was mint choco, of course.

For a second, Yeji looked at Yeonjun a bit shocked but then turned back to her ice cream. "What did he want?" She asked, trying to sound indifferent. "He said something about you." Now Yeonjun was directly in front of her. "But I don't know how he knows you. I've never introduced each other, so how did you meet?" He said as he was munching on his ice cream.

Yeji sighed and took another bite of her ice cream. "We met at his birthday party, of course. I was at the buffet, eating some snacks, when he showed up and started complimenting and interrogating me. He told me that I was beautiful and even kissed my hand. That's why I wanted to leave early." Now Yeonjun put his hand on the girl's and caressed it gently.

"You should've told me. You can tell me anything. You know?" He said as he took a napkin and wiped a trail of ice cream from Yeji's chin. "I know, but I didn't even know how to tell you this. How was I supposed to bring it up. I'm glad I got to tell you." She said as her eyes ran towards Yeonjun's ice cream. He noticed it and smirked. "You said that you don't like choco mint ice cream. Do you want some now?"

"Absolutely not! I'm faithful to my pistachio ice cream." Yeji rose her nose to look like an arrogant woman, but then started laughing alongside Yeonjun. "On our wedding day, I'll make you a pistachio ice cream cake. It'll be 5 feet tall." Yeonjun laughed, but then stopped when he realized what he said. Yeji stopped laughing right when he mentioned wedding. "Nah... We have to make it half choco mint. Otherwise, it wouldn't be fair." She continued the joke, and Yeonjun laughed again.
