The day has completely fallen into the night, the moon showed up and the stars twinkled happily. It brought joy and happiness but not enough to entertain a Heechul in her foul mood. She was waiting inside Siwon's car for almost ten minutes after they finished the dinner with his grandmother. When Siwon asked a waiter to sent Heechul's car back to his apartment, she was stuck inside the car with Siwon busy on his phone outside the car.
Her thought wandered back to their dinner, especially to Siwon's grandma. She's a nice lady and quite funny too but she had a strict aura like Siwon. She remembered the way her heart twisted in a strange way when Siwon's grandma asked her to take care of him. She said that maybe she's the right person for him. Now she understood, the strange feeling she felt earlier was guilt and she was sure that Siwon felt the same too, but they knew they can't called the deal off. They need to continue with their lie until Siwon's birthday. After that, they can stay together for a few months before calling it quits.
"Maybe she just said that to flatter me but she will still ask Siwon to break up with me." She remembered that she nearly slipped and if not for Siwon's fast reflexes, she could have fallen to the floor. And worse, Mrs. Choi witnessed everything. She didn't say anything and just entered her car and drove off with her butler. Heechul had an assumption that the accident can be a very strong reason for Mrs. Choi to scratch her name from her ideal-girlfriend-type-for-my grandson-list. With that thought, she tried to ignore her guilty feeling.
Her mind wandered back to little squabble at the restaurant. She admitted that she was upset with Siwon but the actual source of her bad-mood today wasn't Siwon. It's her manager and her very sharp tongue. She folded her arm and unconsciously pouted when Siwon finally ended his phone call and slipped into the driver seat.
He took a deep breath before turning his body slightly, facing her. "Hey, Heechul, Uhm..Do you like ice cream?" he asked cautiously.
Heechul snorted and rolled her eyes. How can he ask a stupid question? Of course she likes ice cream. Everybody loves ice cream!
"Why do you ask?" she asked back.
Siwon sighed in exasperation. Why can't she understand that he's just comforting her that he rarely does to someone who's neither a family nor a friend?
"Can you just answer my question and not ask another question?"
Heechul glared, "Why are you so grumpy today? I'm supposed to be grumpy, not you!" She exclaimed.
Siwon closed his eyes. He kept chanting in his head 'Keep calm Siwon. Remember you're doing this only for your deal. Keep calm.' Without saying anything, he pulled out from parking lot and sped off to a convenience store near the park he usually visited. Heechul was still sulking.
He stopped his car once again and turned to Heechul. "Listen, I know you're upset and I just want to make you feel better, so can you cooperate with me today?" he asked.
"I always cooperate with you." She retorted.
He went back to his driving and sighed "You're right. So let's pretend that we're friend just for today." He said.
"But, why?"
"Because, Heechul," He said impatiently and turned to her again; this time, staring straight into Heechul's eyes, "One, only friends comfort each other. Yes we had a truce but we're not friends yet and we obviously dislike each other. So, to make this possible, we should at least pretend to be friends if only for today." He paused again and continued after Heechul urged for him to continue. "Two, since my grandma hasn't made a decision yet we don't know tomorrow if we will still be together or not and maybe today is the day and I thought that maybe we can spend this day as friends. What do you think?"
