Jaeun's POV

A few months went by.

" That is why I want to be able to work with you guys on this project. "

I'm currently having an audition to be one of the chosen ones to attend the overseas enrichment project.

It has always been my dream to be able to travel to different parts of the world. It will be a dream come through if I am one of the chosen ones.

I walked out of the audition room , feeling rather proud of my answers.

I decided to head to the near by cafe and get some drinks before heading home.

" Isn't that Lai Guanlin ? "

Guanlin transferred school a couple months back and no one really knows the reason behind it. He looks pretty much the same , maybe even better looking but he seems like a waiter.

" Ice Lemon tea. " I said as I passed the money to the cashier. I was waiting at the counter area for my drink to be served.

" Why are you so careless ?! "

I turned around and saw Guanlin bowing to a rather rich looking lady with pearl necklace hanging around her neck.

" I-I'm really sorry. " She was about to smack him on the head when I quickly stood in front of him.

" I think things can be talked out. " She glared at me before pushing me away.

Rude.

" Hitting someone can be considered as a legal case , it could brought to the courts. " I smiled , trying to change her mind.

She stood up and stormed out of the cafe as everyone stared at her. I looked over at Guanlin as his cleaning up the mess.

I kneeled down and helped him to clean up the broken glasses. He looked over at me before dragging me out of the cafe.

" What are you doing here ? "

" I just came here to buy some drinks. " He sighed before ruffling his hair as he glared at me , hard.

" Why must you help me back there ? " He screamed at me furiously.

" What's wrong with helping you ?! " I seriously didn't get what's wrong , like i'm doing what I think is right.

" I didn't want you to get hurt ! "

I blinked a couple of times before everything can be accessed into my brain. He didn't want who to get what ?

Guanlin's POV

" I didn't want you to get hurt ! "

I screamed out as everyone around us stared at us like it's some sort of drama scene.

" Just leave now. " I pushed her from behind but she turned around and looked at me with a smile.

" I didn't know Lai Guanlin is so compassionate. " I rolled my eyes as she chuckled. She took out her phone and took a selfie of both of us but I wasn't ready.

" Ya ! I wasn't ready ! " She jumped around with her phone in her hands.

She accidentally tripped but guess who caught her ?

The floor.

" Karma. " I sniffled a laugh but she caught it. She stood up and glared at me really hard that she looks like she's going to burst into flames.

" My Lemon Tea ! " Her eyes widened before she ran back into the cafe again. I entered the cafe and saw Jaeun talking to the counter before walking towards me with a smile.

" Change your clothes ! " My eyes widened as I covered my body using my hands.

" What do you want to do to me ?! " She rolled her eyes and she pushed me into the cafe again.

" You just took time off. " She said with a smile before pushing me into the changing room.

Jaeun's POV

I waited for Guanlin to exit the changing room , he took such a long time to change.

Suddenly , the door opened and out came a new Guanlin.

" Let's go ! " I grabbed his wrist before walking out of the cafe. He seemed shocked at my sudden action but hey , it's Jaeun.

" Where are we going ? " He asked blankly.

Truthfully , Even I have no idea where are we going. I just wanted to drag him out of the cafe and maybe spend some time together or something.

I brought him to the near by mall and I ordered some food for the both of us.

" About just now , " He stopped eating before looking up at me.

" Thank you. " I tried to hold in my laughter but I just can't help it. His so different from the previous Guanlin that I know.

" If your thankful , then tell me why did you transfer school ? " He seemed shocked at what I said but I didn't get why.

" Reasons. " I rolled my eyes. Anyone can say that they have reasons but he should say out the actual reasons don't you think so ?

" Let's just eat. " He tried to change the topic but I ain't going to give up.

I held his food down before he can continue eating , he looked up at me. Trying to change the topic , huh ? I ain't going to give up so easily.

" Say it first. " I smirked.

" Fine , " He leaned back against the chair as he stared at me.

" A few months back I heard about Yewon and you basically and I felt like it's all my fault , so I decided to just get rid of my existence. "

It doesn't make any sense.

" I know that the reason behind why Yewon decided to hurt you is because of me. After that day , I went to find her and she said , " He looked at me once more.

" She said that I kept talking about you. "

He kept talking about me ?

Me ?

" I thought maybe if I lost connection with you , you wouldn't be hurt any longer so here I am. " He smiled.

" Now , Can I eat ? " I nodded as I released his food.

I sighed as I saw him eating , so he decided to transfer school for me ? Because he didn't want to hurt me ?

I studied his features and realised his actually rather good looking. He have rather distinct features that made him look extremely charming.

" Enough of observing ? "

" I wasn't observing you in any way ! " He chuckled before adjusting his seating position , he looked at me in the eye.

" I didn't say it was me , I meant the food. " He winked and I nearly puked out everything that I've consumed.

" Unless your observing me instead. "
