26| New information

Yewon and Jaehyun arrived at the cafeteria and, as he said, there wasn't anyone, just a worker.

Yewon's pov:

We saw a boy behind the bar. Counting the money.

- Hey, Leehan-ah!-. Jaehyun greets him.

The boy - Who'se name i assumed was Leehan.- stopped and greeted him back. He then turns to look at me and flashed me a wide smile.

- Hi! Are you Jaehyunnie's sister?‐. He asked, though I don't know if he was joking.

I furrowed my eyebrows and Jaehyun rolled his eyes.

- You're so funny, ha ha -. My new friend says -. My sister is chilling home.
- I know. Remember that i have known you since we were six years old.
- That was Taesan not me.
- Uh? Ah... true. We met at the age of eight, you were so ugly back then ‐. Leehan laughs.
- Yah! You looked like a potato! -. Jaehyun said.

I stiffed a laugh and Leehan glared at his friend.

God, it's so funny seeing them bicker.

Before Leehan could say something else, Jaehyun took me to a table behind a wall.

There, we saw another boy cleaning a table near the window, not so far from us.

- That's Taesan -. Jaehyun whispers to me.

I nod, and he positioned himself behind the boy and greeted him, making the latter jump.

- Yah! MYUNG JAEHYUN WHAT THE HELL -. Taesan shouted, clearly scared.

Jaehyun laughed and apologized, though i knew he wasn't sorry at all.

- Language. I brought someone -. Jaehyun says.
- Who, you're girlfriend?
- No! Dumb. My new friend.

Taesan scoffed and looked at me.

- Hi! I'm Han Taesan. Leehan doesn't pay me enough to be cleaning tables. Do you know the amount of trash i find in every table?
I laugh -. I'm Kim Yewon. Nice to meet you.
- You too -. He says -. Now, sit wherever you want. I have cleaned all the tables.

We nod, and he left as soon as we sat in the table next to us.

- So... what did your mother tell you about our situation?-. I ask him. Five seconds later.
He averted his eyes -. Well... basically, she said that our string doesn't belong to fate as the other colours.
- What?
He nods and looks at me-. It belongs to heaven. Gods and goddesses control fate. They chose the colours and sometimes change them.

I nodded and let him continue.

- We have this colour because you suffered a lot and your hate towards fate and soulmates -. He explains.

That's kinda true... But... what does it have to do with us?

- I indeed suffered. But what does it have to do with our string?-. I ask.
- I'm not sure. But i think it's because of what i have said. You suffered a lot in your past and your hate towards fate. -. He furrowed his eyebrows, thinking.
- Oh...continue, please.
He sighed - We aren't bonded yet -. We will bond with a kiss, though... when we love each other genuinely and the kiss means something.

Uh? I thought i had gone crazy because we kissed, but we aren't bonded?

Wait. I knew we weren't as i tried talking with him telephatically, but couldn't.

- Oh... i suspected we weren't as i tried to talk with you... - I say.
- You did?-. He widened his eyes, and a smile appeared on his lips.
I smile sheepishly -. Yeah... i was curious, and thought i had gone crazy, i guess i didn't.

He giggled.

- Did your mother tell you something else about this? -. I ask.
He shakes his head -. No. But if there's something else, we'll have to find it by ourselves.
- Ok...
- Give me your phone -. He streched his hand.
- What? Why?
- To exchange numbers, i'll give you mine too -. He says with a " duh" tone.

I open my contacts app and give it to him. He does the same, and we exchange numbers before returning each other's phone.

- I know you live in Riwoo's neighbourhood -. He says -. I thought of walking to our university together.

I hesitated.

It wouldn't be bad to go with him, right? We're now friends.

But... i can't stop thinking that Kina would kill me if she ever knows that i'm his friend.

- I don't know... what about your friends? I'm sure they wouldn't be comfortable with a stranger walking with them -. I excused.
- I meant just you and me. My friends wouldn't mind if i went with you from time to time -. He says.

I'm sure my cheeks are pink.

- Oh... uh... you don't have to do that... we're friends, but uh... i go with A-young and she will be uncomfortable if you're with us -. I lie.

The truth is that i don't want to go with him because of Kina. A-young wouldn't mind as she's crazy over him.

No. She changed yesterday. She's now obsessed with someone of that new boygroup.

And i always walk to the campus alone, listening to music.

- If that's the case... - He starts -. Alright, it's a pity we can't go together.
- Yeah...
- Yewonnie, we will see each other in the university, right? You won't avoid me again, right?
I sigh at his rush and hopefull tone-. We talked about this before... we're friends, but i'll suffer if we keep any kind of contact in the university, even if you just look at me. So please, let's be friends outside and don't let others know about this.
- You want us to be... secret friends? -. He asks, furrowing his eyebrows.
- Yes. Sorry.
He shakes his head and flashes me a soft smile -. It's ok. I understand. If someone bullies you, please tell me.

I nodded. Though i won't trouble him with my problems.

It was getting dark, so he offered me to walk me home. I refused at first, but then agreed as i was a bit scared of walking alone at night.

We bid goodbye to his friends and left.

Some minutes later, we arrived in front of my house.

- Well... Bye-. He says.
- Bye-. For some reason, i didn't want to be far from him.

He walks away, and i enter my house, shaking that feeling away.

So...

This was a filler too as it doesn't have a lot of things.

I feel like this is getting bored. I'm trying so hard to make it good. If you have an idea, please tell me, and i consider it.

Thanks for your support 💙.

Take care!
