That Girl [Kai >< Sulli]

Pretending

Jinri broke their long eye contact and tried to avoid Jongin's shocking eyes. But Jongin grabbed her both arms and looked at her carefully, but Jinri didn't look at him anymore.

" You're .. Choi Jin, right?", asked Jongin.

" Who's Choi Jin? .. I'm Choi Jinri, not Choi Jin." , said Jinri firmly.

" Yes.. Choi Jinri .. I found you finally..", said Jongin smiling.

Jinri shrugged his hands off and said, " Who are you?". Jongin's smile faded away as soon as he heard that question from Jinri.

" What's.. wrong with you..? .. Don't you remember me..?", asked Jongin with his cracking voice.

" I'm sorry but I can't remember you. .. I can't remember such the radom guys.. like you..". Lies... These lies from Jinri's lips. Although she didn't want to hurt Jongin anymore, she had to.

Jongin felt suffocated after hearing her stranger words. When he was about to complain, a customer entered the store that cause their conversion ruined. Sulli glanced at the broken Jongin and left to the counter again.

But Jongin didn't give up on her easily. He knew how much Jinri loved him, she didn't hate him even when he hurted her. So he knew exactly that Jinri lied him.

He didn't leave the store and waited for her while taking a seat at the table where the customers can eat noddles.

Jinri couldn't focus on her own job because she knew Jongin kept staring at her without leaving. But she didn't look at him and tried to ignore him and to be normal like before.

At 12 a.m, it was time for Jinri to go back home since there would be another part-time worker in her place. As soon as the next worker came, Jinri prepared to leave. But before she left, she glanced at Jongin and found he was already sleeping on the table. So she left the store quickly and went back home.

As soon as she arrived home, she cleaned herself first, then she slided herself underneath the warm sheets which her mom prepared for her to sleep. Her mom was already sleeping beside her, soundly. But she couldn't sleep easily. Although in the last days, she fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow.

But today, she couldn't sleep well ... and it was all because of Jongin.. Although she left him because she wanted to escape from him, she still worried that he wouldn't be ok sleeping there. And she wondered why Jongin was in Seoul.

Jongin felt his neck ached as soon as he rose up from the bed. Of course, it was all because that he fell asleep at the table until 2 a.m. Fortunately, he woke up at that time. If not, he didn't know how to earse the pain in his neck. He looked around the store to find Jinri. But she was nowhere to be found. That was why he gave up and went back to his apartment.

Jongin prepared himself for the first day of his job. As soon as he arrived his job, the manager gave him the uniform and so he could change.

He started his work more joyful since he found Jinri last night. He lost difficulity to look for her since he could go to that store every night. Forget about Jinri's stranger words, he didn't believe them at all. Even if Jinri forgot him, he would make her to remember him back slowly.

Jinri arrived the restaurant only when it was 8 p.m. since she had to send milk and newspapers at the early morning. All of the waiters had to come to work at 7:30 a.m. except Jinri.

She changed her uniform and went to the counter but after glancing to her mom who was cooking in the big kitchen. Yes, Bora was now working as a chef at that restaurant. That's why she didn't meet Jongin.

Jinri took a menu book and went to the table No.8. After getting the orders, she went back to the counter. On her way, she just focused only on the orders which was written in her little sketch book.

As a result, she bumped onto a male waiter who was carrying a tray of coffee cups. The cups dropped on the floor that made a loud sound. The coffee slopped on their uniforms, mostly on the guy's uniform. Jinri kneeled down to pick up the cracked glasses and so did that guy.

" I'm sorry.. Are you--", Sulli's words cut off suddenly when she saw who that guy was. She stared at the guy who was picking up the glass silently. Being a cold guy, he didn't notice Jinri's sudden change.

" Ah!", Jongin yelped in pain but in whispher when a piece of glass pierced into the tip of his index finger.

" Are you ok?", Jinri took his injuried hand and asked with her panic voice. Jongin felt surprised for seeing Jinri for the second time.

In a while, their manager came near them and asked, " What happened? ... Omo.. the new boy, are you ok?". Yes.. Their manager was not an arrogant lady, she was a kind lady who was considerable upon the workers.

" Seohyun, come here and clean it.. Jinri, go with him and heal his wound.", their manager commanded softly.

" It's ok.. It's just a small wound..", said Jongin.

" No. I'm not ok with that.. I don't like my workers getting injuried.", said the manager.

Jongin glanced at Jinri and found she was uneasy for the manager's command. As soon as Seohyun came to clean the glass, Jinri and Jongin left to the changing room.

While Jinri was bedaubing the medicine on his wound, Jongin kept staring at Jinri, who was really concentrating to heal his wound. He felt the old Jinri came back to him who always cared about him.

" Do you remember me now..?", these are the first words which popped up from Jongin's lips. Jinri stopped her movement for a while after hearing his question.

" Choi Jin...", Jongin called Jinri who was staring at his wound without any movement. Jinri finally got her sense back and started healing his wound again.

" What are you talking about? I already said I can't remember the random guys.", said Jinri while sticking the plaster on his wound.

" Am I such .. a random guy for you..? .. So are you an easy girl who can fall in love with the radom guy..?", asked Jongin at the end of his patience. Jinri felt her heart tore apart by Jongin's words.

" ... Yes.. Maybe.. You can think about me as you like ..", said Jinri and got up from her seat. She turned to leave but Jongin stopped her.

" Why are you being like that? Choi Jin.. Why keep lying? .. Why keep pretending like you don't remember me?", asked Jongin who was still sitting on the bench and his eyes fixed on the seat where Jinri had sat.

" .. I'm not lying..", Jinri tried to choke her tears back.

" Stop, Choi Jin.. No one can forget the one who they loved.. .. Aren't you tired of pretending?", asked Jongin who was already standing behind her. Jinri wanted to tell him that she was tired but she couldn't.

" Please.. Choi Jin.. Don't be like that.. You know how much you're hurting me now..?", said Jongin with his soft voice. A tear dropped from Jinri's left eye as soon as she heard that Jongin was hurting.

She couldn't hold her tears back anymore , so she just let them fall down. But Jongin didn't see her crying since she was backfacing him. She didn't complain him anymore and left Jongin alone with his aching heart.
