café

the morning came, blinding me with the rays of the sun. i groaned and sat up straight after seeing ceo yoon sitting on soo yeon eonni's bed.

i rubbed my eyes and asked why she's here.

"aren't you going to tell me about what happened yesterday?" she raised her right brow. aish, it's so early and she's giving me that kind of face.

"daepyonim, can i just go shower first before you ruin my mood?" i stood up as i asked.

"geurae, go and shower then." she replied. "hm, i didn't know that i was taking care of a rude kid." she murmured to herself and dissed me undirectly.

i didn't bother to argue back and just took my towel as i left to the bathroom. ugh, why did i even train in this agency.. i want to go back to my usual life with my mom and dad..

but they're.. argh.

...

i finally finished showering. i went out of the bathroom and dried my hair with my hairdryer.

my handphone rung. i checked who the caller is but it's an unknown person who's not in my contact list. is it another stalker?

i answered the phone with "hello?" as i switched off my hairdryer.

"hye rin-ah!" the person happily replied back casually. "nugu.. seyo?" i asked in formal speech. "yah, it's me, taehyung. kim taehyung."

i smiled and planned to confuse him.
"ah ne, taehyung-ssi, why did you call?"
"y-yah, why're you using formal speech? that's creeping me out."

"waeyo? is it a crime to speak in formal speech? then shall i unleash my casual speech and curse at you?" i switched into casual speech after some minutes later and literally forgot that ceo yoon was waiting outside.

"yah taetae, i have to go. my ceo is waiting for me outside." i said. "is it because of yesterday?" he questioned. "yeah.. well bye then!" "okay, bye." he sighed as he said goodbye.

wait a second, how did he get my phone number if he bought another handphone?

i kept my phone under my pillow and dressed up into a white long-sleeved sweater and jean-colored shorts.

i walked out of the room, barefooted.

i noticed that only ceo yoon was there.
the others aren't up yet? heol.

i sat down on the couch. i was sitting on the opposite direction of her. "tell me now."

"ne." i answered.

"it all started with a girl named joo song yi. she found a picture of me and taehyung when we were both 14 and was in first year of highschool."

"what kind of picture is that?"

"... taehyung's arm was on my shoulder." i answered.

"were you both dating back then?"

"a-aniyo!" i uttered. to be frank, it felt as if we both were in a relationship but we were just best friends.. he was my crush at that point of time.

"that's settled then. we'll just say that you both were very close friends but not that extent as boyfriend and girlfriend." she stood up with her bag in her hand and left the dorm.

"hye rin-ah, did someone come? i heard the gate open awhile ago." ae min eonni walked out of her room and prepared her own breakfast. "uh yeah, it was yoon daepyo."

"jeongmal?" she poured the milk to her glass. "yep." i stood up and went back to my room and woke soo yeon eonni up.

i dressed up into another set of clothes as i wanted to get out of the house. i wore a white shirt, striped with blue lines and wore the same shorts. i tucked my shirt in and walked out with my black sling bag.

i took my white converse from the shoe rack and left the house. "oh yea, my mask and cap." i basically had forgotten that i had to put my disguise on.

"eonni! soo yeon eonni!" i called.
"oh wae? where are you going though?" she rushed to the door. "i'm going to visit my friend's house but i forgot about my disguise stuffs. can you get it for me?" i scratched my nape and smiled awkwardly. "arasseo." she quickly went back to our room and brought my fake spectacles, black mask and black leathered baseball cap.

"uh, i only want my mask and cap though but thanks." i thanked her and left.

i wasn't actually going to a friend's house. i just wanted to wonder around the streets. i had nowhere to go except for the dorm and my house which is at jeju. it's so far so nope.

the house that my family stayed at when we moved to seoul was already bought by another family after my parents died..

"ahem, and who is this weird lady, day-dreaming for so long? agassi, is your name park hye rin?" i turned around and saw taehyung. "ah mwoya.. that seriously surprised me.."

"yah, kaja." he held my wrist and took me to a café. we both sat down but he stood up again and asked me what i would like to order.

"uh.. an iced americano.."
"alright. i'll order the same thing too then. hehe."
"tss.." i chuckled with a smile.

i took out my pen and notebook and tore a piece of paper from my notebook. i started to write another letter for him as usual although he's just with me right now.

dear kim taehyung,

wah, you're such a gentleman today. neon wanjeon daebak-iya. hahaha. i'm just wondering whether you're reading the letters that i sent to you for the past weeks because you never mentioned about it when you dragged me to the ice cream stall. we spent such a long time there.. but you never said anything about it.

anyways, here comes your present self ㅋㅋ

from,
park hye rin.
