HEARTBEATS - [제이]

3 | sometime will be soon

"Thanks again for this, I really appreciate it"

Those words escaped the boy's mouth when he sat at the table in the café's kitchen.

Halmeoni quickly waved it off and knitted her brows. She was happy to see the boy having returned and especially that this time Haneul and Jay actually got to get to know each other.

"So Jay, are you still going to school? Or are you visiting a college?"
The woman asked while she wears preparing her cinnamon bread roll.

Jay raised his brows as he heard her asking.

Haneul just sat beside and listened to them both while enjoying her bread roll.
She wasn't much of a morning eater which is why she only ate one bread roll every morning.

"I just graduated so I'm going to visit a college real soon"
He replied, Halmeoni nodding interestedly.

Jay slightly smiled.

"What are you going to study may I ask?"
She asked there upon.

Halmeoni was a happy, outgoing and extroverted human being and so she liked socializing with others, especially people she could hand over her own experiences to.

"I'm not sure yet. The teachers told us that we'll have time to try out different fields of study before our final decision. So I'll try out some things and I hope I'll find something that suits me"
Jay responded ultimately.

He couldn't see it but internally, Haneul's heart beater faster as he spoke. His voice was so calm and soft.

She never told anyone, but if the girl wanted to do one thing, it would most likely be to be able to study one day.

Astrology.

She'd always wanted to know more about the stars and the universe.

Her name meant heaven, sky and so she wanted to get to know her name's meaning better. It was something she could never think of actually achieving.

"Sounds interesting! I really do hope that you'll find something that suits you. Our Haneul honey sadly didn't graduate yet"
Halmeoni said, laying an arm around the girl's shoulder.

"You're still in school?"
The boy asked surprised.

He thought they'd be in the same age maybe, so there indeed was a chance of them might be in the same situation but apparently this was not the case.

Haneul slightly smiled and nodded.

"I'm homeschooled currently. But I'm in my last year now"
She responded, causing Jay to tilt his head but nod in the end.

"Wow, I've never met anyone who's done homeschooling. Is it as hard as it is in school?"
He asked.

Haneul giggled as she widened her eyes to respond there upon.
