5. a proper introduction

KIM BAE EUN

I followed Jisung, and entered his house.

After removing our shoes, he led me to the living room and pointed to the sofa.

"Take a seat, " He says to me as he places the chocolate cookies on the coffee table, "I wasn't done yet with the unpacking, so please don't mind about the mess, " He smiles, somehow apologetic, but still beautiful.

He gestured to the direction of some boxes, they are at the corner of the living room.

"It's okay, my house wasn't any better, " I replied, trying to make him feel better.

Once again, he smiled at me, and then remembered something, "Ah, I'll get you some drinks. Coffee or Tea?"

"Tea, please. "

He nodded, and then went to the kitchen.
I looked around, slightly amazed at how great the house is decorated and designed. It has a complete opposite colour tone compared go my house. White and soft yellow themed, with some brown furniture, and a big glass door behind the couches, showing the beautiful scenery of his backyard. There's a little pond with water lilies, and an outdoor tables set, probably for tea time.
(refer to media, clarification: it's just a reference so it won't be as what I wrote, but it's similar)

I stared at the scenery, still amazed, not realizing that Jisung had already came out from the kitchen.

He held the two cups of drink on his both hands, and said, "If you want to, we can talk outside, " He looked at the outdoors tables set, "The weather today is good anyways, I don't think it will rain. "

"Well, if you said so, " I stood up and grabbed the jar of chocolate cookies along, "Sure! " and followed Jisung to the backyard.

"Here's your tea,"

"Thank you, "

"You're welcome, " Jisung raised his coffee as a sign of welcome.

I took a sip of tea, well, tea for life!

"I guess I should properly introduce myself, " I looked at Jisung in the eyes, "I'm Kim Bae Eun, and I'm currently 23 years old. I love tea, as you can probably tell by now. And uh, "

I looked around, "I work as an interior designer."

I studied Jisung's expression, which is, well, pretty dramatic. His eyebrows are raised, eyes opened wide, and his face is slightly turned to the side.

And then he said, "I'm also an interior designer!"

Wait, what?

He continued excitedly, "I designed my house. "

"I moved here because I got hired by a company."

Well, I didn't ask, but okay.

"Good to know that!" I said, probably smiling, "I designed my house too! It was very fun, I'm sure you did too,"

"Well yes, I did!" Jisung laughed.

-

We talked for about 30 minutes, it ended since I have some work left to do.

Stupid work.

Jisung sent me to the gates, "It was nice meeting you, "

"Me too."

He held his hand out for a handshake, and I gladly accepted it.

"Well, goodbye! See you soon!" He said, then turned around, preparing to enter his house and I did the same, but then, "Wait!"

I turned back to his direction, "Yes?"

He awkwardly scratched his nape, "Uh, I just realized that I forgot to reintroduce myself."

I completely forgot about that too.

"Now that you said so," I giggled, "You really did forgot. "

"Well, I'm Yoon Jisung, 27 years old and I just moved here a couple hours ago, and I prefer coffee over tea. " He laughed, "Just kidding, but I really love coffee."

"Then, goodbye!" He waved to me and I waved back, after that I walked back home.
