BLOODY BOND (EDITING/ON-HOLD)

BOND 20

#JAE JOON's POV#

I thought she's fine with me when she can be so frank with me. Close and didn't avoid me like she does when towards Min Ah. But, it's just what I thought, not the truth.

"Jae Joon sunbae? Hmm, I think he's... weird?" Ji Yong give her opinion to her classmates after being asked about him.

"Why's that? We thought you're close with him?"

"Why? Does he have strange quirk or something?"

"Why?"

Ji Yong become troubled when she got plenty of questions from them but she's still forced smiling. Uncomfortable.

"I don't know either. That's just what I thought."

"She said." Yoo Jin telling us what he heard yesterday when he goes to see his girlfriend that took same class as Ji Yong.

"Weird, huh?" I mumble.

"Now it make me curious. What make she said like that about our Jae Joon." Da Woo said. I can't believe he put 'our Jae Joon' on his words.

"I think it just misunderstanding. She might say it like that as safe answer for her. You said that she got troubled when people keep bothering her with questions after she done the partner assignment with Jae Joon." Ho Jun said and sounds reasonable.

"Well, I just curious after heard it. I thought Jae Joon would do something that make her said that. I also considering it as misunderstanding too though." Yoo Jin explained.

"It doesn't bother me though but I'll ask her later if I see her just to ease your concerns." I said and that's what make us ended the topic. Well, I said it doesn't bother me but I honestly feel bothered. Ji Yong sure is unpredictable person. No one is know what she's thinking about atleast if she starts talk about it. So, I can't said that she's fine when around me. But, it bothers me. I already like her but it somewhat painful if she think me in bad way.

I send her message to have a dinner together. Fortunately, she agreed since she would decline my offers with various excuses before. Having dinner with her is hard since she prefer to cook by herself. Much more she ate early and sleep early too. But today I confirmed that she didn't have her lunch when I found she's napping at the library this afternoon.

"Sorry, am I late?" She huffs when come to the restaurant. It is something she would do. Come rush to the meeting place as she acknowledge that I would arrive early. It's cute and I like it.

"No, of course not." I said.

"Why can I arrive before you, sunbae?" She mumble while sighing. She take her seat in front of me while I'm giggling amuse. Very competitive for small stuff. It's attractive.

"What would you like to eat? Rice dishes?"

"Hmm, I feel like eating noodles but I'll have Sanchae-Bibimbap (Rice w/Wild Herbs & Beef, Veg)." She said while put her bag besides her. I called out the order to the shop owner and she give her respond that she heard.

"Aren't you eating sunbae?" She asks when noticed I didn't order mine along.

"I already order mine before you came." I said. She only smile as she understoods.

We're having conversations while waiting food and enjoying our dinner. The topic are cover various of things from economic issues and blabbering about our daily activities. It's a good time we had together but my ruined when suddenly I remembered what Yoo Jin said this morning.

What make her said I'm weird? Did she see through me? My real behaviour, my real thought and my true action. I concealed them farther from people's eyes. I know I did well. Even in front of her. What did I do wrong that make you said that? Aah... It bothers me.

"Thank You sending me off, sunbae. You don't really have to walk with me to my house." She said while smiling gratefully.

"I just want to make sure you got home safely." I said. It's already dark but it is not that late. I just being insist. I noticed that she seems uncomfortable but I put her feelings aside.

"Well, want to grab some coffee before going home, sunbae." She offered when we arrived in front of her house. I'm happy that make me smiles a bit.

The area isn't that dark since it was bright from light came from lamp pole around. Except her house, other house are lighted.

"No, I'm fine." I said. I can't stop but to look at her face. She actually felt relieved when I declined her offer.

"Well, see you later, sunbae." She bows but before she walk to inside her house. I pull her back to me and she fall on my arm. She look surprised when I did that.

"I'm sorry. Are you okay?" I asks. She get into her feet again but our hands still etwined.

"Yeah." She said short.

"Ji Yong, want to going out with me?" She immediately let go my hand and look at me with her eyes wide open. She back herself a bit.

Somehow, I regretted with that suddenly proposal because I kind of know what she would say after that.
