The Bad Boy

Chapter 15

The day of the autograph session

I went with an easy heart.
He may not even recognise me. I'll just act as a fan then.
We got there late. Purchased the album at the booth and joined the queue.
"Wow i didn't know he's this famous," i commented.
"Yes he is. I have friends who are crazy fans of him," Habin added.
We were somehow the last in the queue.
And finally, after much waiting, it was our turn.
Habin and Jiyoon went first, with me being the last.
Finally, i passed him my album.
He looked up with his smiley, tiny eyes.
How he looked at me, just like old times.
The marker started moving on my album.
To: Hyejin. KJK
He signed.
His hand was out, ready for a handshake.
"It's been a long time, Hyejin ah," he smiled.
I was so stunned that i could hardly react.
Shaking his hand, he then asked for a small piece of paper.
010 1976 2504, he jotted down these numbers.
"Call me, let's meet up and have a catch up session," he passed me the paper and my signed album.
I smiled and bowed a thank you.

*****

I sat on the bed, staring at that paper, thinking if i should call.
Would it be awkward? What can we talk about?
Then, aih don't care. Just call.
I took my cell phone out and dialled the number.
It rang, and i waited patiently for an answer.
Don't pick up don't pick up.
"Hello?" My eyes widened.
"Hello.. i'm.. Hyejin here," i staggered.
What if he don't remember giving me his number?
I really wanted to hang up that instant.
"Ah Hyejin, i was waiting for your call! How have you been?"
I chuckled,"doing well, i guess, and seems like you've been doing fine too!"
"Didn't expect me to end up like who i am today right? Let's meet up! When are you free?"
"Tomorrow? I'm off."
"Sure! For lunch? I'll pick you up, text me your address.."
"It's ok, don't have to! Where do you want to have lunch?"
"I know a place with good ddeokbukki, let's try it out!"
He still remembered my favourite food..
"Sure text me the address, i'll meet you there! 12.30?"
"Ok see you then, bye!" He hanged up.
