PRETTY LITTLE LIARS | 제이크 [BOOK 2]

43 : second

Eunju stood at the receptionist table patiently waiting for Sunghoon. Her emotion is not stable now because she just had a thought of finding Sunghoon. Surprisingly, he was the one Eunju talking about nonstop.

She examined her outfit just in case she looks miserable after dinner. She needs to look presentable in front of Sunghoon because of their first met wasn't a good encounter. After a few minutes, the person she had been waiting finally arrived.

Both of them awkwardly smiled at each other and bow a little. Sunghoon tried so hard to maintain his cold expression meanwhile his heart already skipped a beat. Same goes for Eunju, her mind suddenly remember that night.

Sunghoon coughed, “are you still free after this dinner, Eunju?” and Eunju slowly nodded her head.

“Great! I want to bring you somewhere if you don't mind? Our first encounter wasn't good and I'm not satisfied with it so that's why I asked you now.” he explains and Eunju don't know what to reply.

What are going to happen?

Somewhere? What somewhere?

He didn't satisfied hmm, I thought it's only me?

“I'll go anywhere you want to bring me but please not hangout too late because I still need to go to my office tomorrow.” and nobody knows how happy Sunghoon is to hear that from Eunju.

“Alright, let's go! We will use my car meanwhile my driver will send your car back to your apartment. How about that?” he asked and Eunju quickly agreed.

Sunghoon held her wrist and pull her towards the parking lot. Both of them got into the car and Sunghoon started his car's engine. Since the night is still young, he decided to bring her to the park.

The ride was super awkward and thanks to the sounds came out from the radio, Eunju didn't feels left out at all. Meanwhile, Sunghoon's eyes slightly glance at her and his lips formed a little smile.

“You seems very awkward with me. Please don't feels that way, Eunju.” he said as he pulled up the break when the traffic light changed to red colour.

“Am I too obvious? It's our second encounter so I still a little bit awkward with you. I'm still embarrassed with myself after that night.” Eunju scratched her neck as the obvious sign of nervousness.

Sunghoon chuckled, he still remembers clearly what happened that night. His stupid humor and her grumpy words. His confession and her unbothered act. He would kiss her that night but he stopped himself.

He didn't know why his mind prevented him from going further. He thought that Eunju is Hyejin best friend and it wouldn't be so much awkward if they see each other again. But he noticed something.

Eunju didn't make him want to kiss or having one night stand but she makes him more curious. How come a pretty girl like Eunju didn't have any partner or any concerns about being single? What is her priority?

“Do you remember anything from that night? Any of our conversation?” he suddenly asked as the car started to move again.

“Remember, what? You just sent me home and stay for the night. But the next morning I thought everything was a dream not until I smelled your cologne. The smell, it remains in my apartment.” she answered carefully.

A little disappointment was written on Sunghoon's face. His doubt was right, she will forget about everything that happened that night.

“You want to fuck me, aren't you Sunghoon?”

It wasn't his first time hearing that question but when Eunju asked, he doesn't confident about touching her. If others asked him that he doesn't even care and just continue but Eunju, she's different. Sunghoon was clueless.

“Are you sure about that? You don't remember anything, at all?” he asked again and Eunju confidently nodded.

“Alright, if you say so.”

Sunghoon pulled up his car at the parking lot near the park and stopped his car's engine. He looks at Eunju who also look at him, waiting for him to tell what are they doing at the public park.

He gives her a sign to get out from the car and Eunju just followed him. He held her wrist and pulled toward somewhere that's not crowded.

“Let's have a walk. Do you want an ice cream? It's my treat!” he asked while pointing at the ice cream stall. Eunju smiles as she nodded as an answer, “good, wait here! I'll be back soon!”

Eunju sat at one bench while her eyes roaming around the public park. Suddenly, her eyes catched something at the ice cream stall. It's Sunghoon, talking with another a young lady around their age and he pointed at her direction.

Sunghoon waved his hand at Eunju and she waved back, still thinking who's that young lady because she is a little touchy with Sunghoon. He didn't even flinched by her touch at all sign as they are good friends.

After done, Sunghoon and that young lady followed him. He handed her a strawberry ice cream with a wide smile and Eunju took it from his hand. Sunghoon looks at his side and smiled again.

“Babe, this is Diane, she's my friend and a doctor and Diane, this is Eunju, my girlfriend. I can't believe I can meet you again, Diane.” he said as he took a seat next to Eunju.

“I'm working here now and I don't know you will visit South Korea again and having a new girlfriend after your fiance left. I thought you still like me?” she said without any guilty with so-called an innocent face.

Sunghoon wrapped his arm around Eunju shoulder, “why would I'm waiting for someone worthless? Besides, Eunju is so much better that my ex fiance and also much better than you. She is perfect for me!”

Diane spared a glance at Eunju, she looks up and down before slowly nodded. Seeing that makes Eunju's anger suddenly raised. How dare this girl judging her at their very first met and how dare she accused and embarrassed Sunghoon like that?

Eunju coughed, “honey, I didn't know that your doctor friend still alive? I thought you tell me that she already died before? Ah, probably because she's a doctor so she could save herself from dead?”

Hearing that makes Sunghoon almost laugh but he maintaining his calm expression.

“Oh, I did? Maybe you were mistaken that because she still alive and maybe that's a different person? Sorry, Diane my girlfriend maybe mistook you as someone else.” he explained but Eunju still didn't satisfied.

“Honey, let's go somewhere! It's getting hot here!”  she stood up, looks at Diane with a smirk before pulled Sunghoon somewhere else.

Diane scoffed looking at Eunju who linked their arms together. Gives a sharp glance at Diane, she sticks out a her tongue before walked away.
