Chapter 15: Good day-te

✴

The next day, I feel much better than yesterday or the days before. It's as if a big burden has been lifted off my shoulder. Remembering last night event, my cheeks turn a deep shade of red. It was embarrassing, but I like it.

It's already afternoon and my last class had just ended five minutes ago. I'm arranging my things in my locker when someone calls my name and it turns out to be Soonyoung sunbaenim.

Closing the locker door, I greet him politely, smiling. He smiles back, asking, "Do you have any other plans after this?"

"I have to go to my part-time job." I answer and start to walk off the hallway, together with the dance club president.

"Ahh really?" He pouts his lips in disappointment. "I was about to ask you to follow me somewhere." He sighs before looking at me in the eyes, "Can't you skip your job this time?" He asks cutely.

With Soonyoung sunbaenim doing aegyo, I find it hard not to say no but what can I do? I can't skip my job whenever I want.

"I'm sorry, sunbaenim, but I think I can't do that." I bow slightly, a smile crept up my lips from the effect of his aegyo. "But where do you want to bring me?"

He sighs disappointedly but smiles nevertheless, "Just somewhere.."

We stops in our track when we arrived at the college's entrance. "I'm so sorry again, sunbaenim. I promised I'll follow you to 'that somewhere' next time." I assure him and he nods, "Alright. Oh, anyway—"

The ringing of my phone cuts Soonyoung sunbaenim off and I quickly fish the device out from my jean's pocket, my eyebrows automatically furrow the moment I see Eunwoo's name on the screen.

I turn away from Soonyoung sunbaenim before answering the call.

"Lee Eunbi." Eunwoo's voice greets me.

"What do you want?" I whisper-shout, and unintentionally, it sounds like I'm scolding him for calling me.

"Whoa, is this what I get after I risked myself by going to your school?" Hurt can be heard in his voice but I couldn't care enough about it as what he had just told me is more interesting.

"What?" He is here? Like where? My eyes scan the surrounding and it doesn't take long for me to spot Eunwoo among the crowd.

"What are you thinking you're doing here, dummy???" I hiss and quickly cut him off before he can answer it, "Whatever. Wait for me, I'll go to you ASAP."

And I end the call.

"Are you okay?" Soonyoung sunbaenim asks when I turn to him again. "Yeah I'm fine. Just got some problem." I assure him. Not wasting any more time, I excuse myself, "Sunbaenim, I have to go first. See you next time."

"Oh, Eunbi yah!" Eunwoo calls out when he sees me approaching. "How—"

I grab his hand and pull him away from anywhere near the college, no words left my mouth.

This boy need some scolding, seriously.

When we are far enough from the college and people on the street, I finally release the grip on his hand and turn to him with a glare.

"Yah!" Knocking my fist on his head, ( I have to tiptoe in order to do that. Damn the heights) he winces in pain and shoot me a death glare. "What do you think you are doing? What if you get caught by people?" I snap.

Eunwoo rubs the sore spot on his head and mumbles inaudible things that I can't hear. "I won't get caught so it's okay." He says clearly this time, "But are you worried for me, Lee Eunbi?" A smirk form on his lips.

Gritting my teeth in annoyance, I kick his shin hard enough to make him jumps in pain. "Of course, idiot!"

The hurt expression turns into an amused one short after. He ruffles my hair with a smile, "Thank you for worrying over me."

My cheeks feel hot. I clear my throat and walk away only to be caught by Eunwoo after few steps. "What? I have to go to work."

"No, you are not going to work today." He smirks and that is when I know he is up to something.

"Huh?"

His hand travel down to my hand and he hold my hand in his, squeezing it slightly.

"We are going on a date."
