- Then excuse me SIR but how do we get out from here?

- It's simple: We get out of school without getting caught, we go to the restaurant without getting caught, we order without getting caught, we eat without getting caught and then we come back ...

- Without getting caught!

- You see, you understand quickly.

- But you can « get caught » a lot of times!

- But the point it's to don't.

I had a rictus. I couldn't believe my ears, did he always take everything lightly as he was doing right now?

Against all expectations, we didn't have any problems to leave the school but he still wouldn't tell me where he was taking me...

- Come on, where are we going?

- You'll see.

- Come on, tell me please.

- I'll tell you if we play the 20-questions game.

- Wow, you're super old-fashioned.

- Still, it'll let you know where I'm taking you.

I had a sigh before I said :

- All right, but you start then.

- All right. So... do you have any siblings ?

- No, what about you?

- Big brother.

- Oh, great!

- Not so much.

- Why not?

- It was my turn to ask a question.

- Oh, right, sorry.

He smiled and said:

- Have you ever been in a relationship?

- No... and... you?

I have to admit, at that moment, I REALLY wanted to know!

- Does a girl in kindergarten that I can't even remember the name count?

I couldn't help but to laugh.

- Hey!

I felt that that remark was more for laughs than anything else' but well.

- I'm sorry.

- Apology accepted. So, why haven't you ever been in a relationship, Rose?

- I'm the one who should be asking you that question.

- You can ask me when you will answer.

- If you want to know it was because... I just... I didn't want to...

When he heard that answer, he accelerated and stood in front of me to cut me off. He stared straight into my eyes, without looking somewhere else once. I tried to miss it, but he kept me from passing.

- What?

- But you're smart, you're beautiful and you have a good personality, you're almost perfect, so why?

I couldn't help but blush at that remark. No one (except my mother) had ever said me that kind of compliment.

- I feel like you're describing yourself .

- No, but seriously Rose, why?

- I told you, I didn't want to!

- ...Okay...Okay if you say so...After all... I want to say... that's good for me.

He whispered the last part of his sentence as if he didn't want to admit it to himself, but that didn't stop me from hearing it, it was to wonder if he didn't do it on purpose. I pretended that it was nothing, even if for some reason I couldn't look at him and my heart was getting a little bit excited.

- But why didn't you ever go out with someone when there're still so many girls literally ready to die to date with you?

- What's the point of having a lot of girls around you if you don't like any of them and it bothers you more than anything else...

- You're not wrong about that.

- Besides, I'm already interested in someone.

- And by whom, huh?

- I'd rather not tell you, at least not right now. Besides, I consider that's the question you wanted to ask me afterwards.

- Oh, right. Sorry again...

- It's okay. But are you interested in someone?

- If Kim Seokjin doesn't count, then no.

He started laughing and smiling.

- We're here.
