TROUBLE MAKER [WANNA ONE PARK JIHOON] ✅

7 • I Don't Know Anymore

We take a cab to a restaurant Jihoon suggested. In the cab, he still holds my hand tightly. "Uhm, your hands," I tap his shoulder and he looks at me, confused. He then looks at our hands.

"Oh, sorry," He says and pulls his hand away. I can see that he blushes so hard.

We finally arrived at the place. The name of the restaurant is 'Maple Tree Restaurant', a little far from our school. The bell ring as we enter the shop. We take a seat next to the wall in the middle of the shop. I open my big-padded jacket and hangs it behind the chair. Jihoon does the same and sit in front of me.

A waitress comes and give us the menu of the cafe. "Please hit the button when you are ready to order," She says and bites her lip sexily which I found not sexy at all to Jihoon. He then smiles shyly and takes the menu. I look at him in disbelief.

"What? Hmm what do you want to order?" He points at one of the menu at the dinner section. Well, it is around 6 p.m. now and thank god I told Mr. Kim that I will return home at night and I will not have dinner at home.

"I would like to have short ribs, mandu (dumplings) and iced americano," He says to me but I still look through the menu as I don't know what to order.

"I would like to have... bibimbap and iced watermelon juice.... Can I have kimbap too?" I ask him as I suddenly crave kimbap. He nods and I hit the red button at the corner of the table. The girl from before hurriedly come to us and take out a pen from her pocket of shirt.

"We would like to order short ribs, mandu, bibimbap and mixed kimbap," He says slowly looking at the girl's eyes. She doesn't write anything but look at Jihoon intensely and freezes in place.

"*cough* Please take out our orders," I say loudly to her and point at her empty note. Jihoon looks at me and then coughs too.

She immediately write what Jihoon says. I look away from both of them until she goes back to the counter to place our order. After that, silence hit me and Jihoon.

"Hey, are you okay?" He ask and I nod, wandering my eyes at the table, his tie and other stuffs.

A few minutes later, the food arrived. Brought by a waiter and he puts the food in front of us. After the last food which is kimbap, he puts it in the middle of the desk and winks at me. I roll my eyes and Jihoon cough.

Before Jihoon even picks up his chopsticks, I break the silence. "Why did you ask me out?" I ask and he puts his arm on the desk and look at me.

"Well, I wanted to know you better," He says and smile at me. I look at him expressionless and he laughs.

"Which one do you like, cats or dogs?" He suddenly ask and I quickly answer.

"Cats. They are so cute, hahaha" I laugh as I remember a kitten I used to have when I was 5 years old.

"Oh really. I like dogs better, hahah," He says and smiles alone. "Do you like winter?" He asks again and I nod.

"Really really like them. I love seeing white snow all over the green nature. Just like now," I smile and look over at the big window beside us.

He smiles and starts to eat his food. He is quite hilarious. He likes to smile and make jokes which makes me want to choke my food everytime I laugh. We both eat the kimbap and dumpling. The last pieces is still on the plate but none of us take it.

"You can have the last one," He says and assures me to eat it.

"No, you can have it," I put in on his empty plate in front of him.

"No.. you're a lady," He takes the kimbap from his plate and put it in front of my mouth. "Open up," He says staying still in front of me. Finally I open my mouth and he gives me the kimbap. "That was easy," He laughs after I finish eat. After that, he eats the last piece of dumpling and chew it fastly.

"Yaa I was about to eat that!" I pout at him and he apologizes. "Hahahah gotcha. Nahh, I don't want it anyway," I laugh and he laughs too.

"I'll go and pay," He stands up and go to the corner to 'pay' but actually I know he wants to flirt with that waitress from before. I sit at the bench outside of the place and wait for him. From the window, I see him leaning towards her at the counter and it starts to get annoying . It's not that I like him but he is asking me out and now he is flirting with other girl. Does that make sense?!

I stand up from my seat and take my jacket and Jihoon's as an excuse to go to him. I wear my jacket and bring his in my arm. I stand beside him and notice that he is laughing with the waitress. I throw the jacket at him and leave. "I'm leaving," With that, I walk out from the restaurant and sit at the cab waiting station.

"Hey! Haneul!" Jihoon comes a little later than me maybe I was walking too fast. He sits next to me, breathing heavily. "What was that?" He asks and I keep looking to the front. "Hey..." He holds my hand and I quickly jerks away.

"What was that?? Really? That's your question? I should be the one who ask you what was that. You know what, I think you would never change. I really thought what you told me yesterday is true and you're going to change yourself. But now... now I don't know anymore. I'm not sure whether your words can be trusted," I stand up from the seat and get into one of the cab. I quickly get in and closes the door so that he understands he needs to get a new cab.

I give my address to the uncle and he quickly drives to my house. Around 30 minutes later, I arrive home and quickly get home.

"Where did you go?" As I get in, my family is having dinner and dad suddenly ask me while I am getting upstairs. All of them including Mrs. Lee who is serving foods look at me, suprised.

"I had dinner with a friend," I quickly get upstairs and close my door, not wanting to hear any question from my 'suddenly-care' dad. I take a shower and head to sleep without doing my homework.
