Two weeks later,
Saturday.
Junhoe wanders around the mall, spending his leisure time alone. Nara isn't around as she is busy with her shift in the cafe. "Why is everyone so busy today? It's boring," Junhoe mumbles alone.
Just then, Nara texted him. After their conversation, Junhoe went to a nearby bookstore.
There, he meets Hanna. "Lee Hanna," Junhoe said while approaching closer to his next-class girl, "Koo Junhoe? What a coincidence," Hanna said. "Are you looking for reading materials?" Junhoe asked. Hanna shakes her head, "No. I was waiting for my friends. We're having girl days out," Hanna said. "I see," Junhoe responded. "Where is Nara?" Hanna asked.
"She's working today. I'm alone," Junhoe said while touching a few books on the shelf. "Ah. Do you want to join me?" Hanna suddenly questioned Junhoe.
Of course, Junhoe was surprised to hear the offer. "What is this? A dream come true?" he monologued. "I'm sorry. I must've shocked you there. Well, it must be uncomfortable. Plus, Nara isn't around," Hanna stated. "No. That's not it," Junhoe said.
Just as he was about to ask Hanna, her friends called her. "I have to go,"
Both of them hesitate. "See you again. Junhoe," Hanna said after they are a moment of silence between them. Junhoe scratches his nape, "Koo Junhoe!" he soliloquy. Then, he chased Hanna, "Lee Hanna-shi," he said. Hanna turns to him, "It was nice to have a little chat with you just now. Perhaps, whenever you're free we can meet up," Junhoe said. Hanna grinned, "Sounds nice," Hanna said.
"Also. I heard about the upcoming chess tournament. Break a leg," Junhoe wished Hanna. Hanna nods, "That means a lot," she says.
*******
Junhoe dropped off at the cafe where Nara works. He came to hand in the book Nara requested him. No. He comes there to tell Nara about him and Hanna.
"I see somebody is making his move, huh," Nara said when Junhoe shared with her. Junhoe smiles shyly, and Nara looks at her friend. "Are you that happy?" Nara asked. Junhoe glances back to Nara, "Don't tell Hanbin and Donghyuk. I will surely get tease for this," Junhoe said.
