Chapter 5

Hanbin's POV

I started walking home after Yannie went inside her house.

She's actually fun to be with but a bit awkward. She's so talkative and cheerful, just like what my Mom said. She can initiate a conversation without any hesitation.

Sigh.

I didn't get a chance to get her Kakaotalk ID. I wanna be friends with her-seriously no joke. I just realized that, she's not that bad after all. I mean she's annoying at the first time. Well, I guess I'm just getting used to it?

Instead of going home, I changed my route in to where we first met. There's a lot of couples here tonight. It's already 9:03 pm but the park is still alive.

I sat on the bench and looked up at the cloudy sky.

There is something that I'm curious about. It's like, she's not really a korean. I noticed it by the features of her face. Yes she got those eyes like koreans do but the shape of her face are quite different. And the way she speaks, there is this accent of her. I wonder what her race is?

I stood up and made my way home. I don't wanna stay because I'm feeling out-of-place here.

I walked and walked until I got home. My Mom, of course, asked me why I came home late. Argh, I'm already 24 years old pete's sake.

"I was with Yannie," I answered. That made her smile.

"So when will you bring her here? I really wanted to meet her."

"When the right time comes Eomma. I don't want to freak her out. She might think things that she shouldn't," I said and we both laughed. Who knows if she's that kind of person who assume things.

We parted ways and bid each other a good night. I ran upstairs and jumped on my bed. I stared at the ceiling, smiling.

Well I guess it's a good night for me?

Yannie's POV

"You're crazy!" I point to myself while looking at the mirror.

That Hanbin guy...

I think I should stay away from him? I feel like running out of oxygen whenever I'm with him.

Yes. I know I'm crazy. Especially when I'm with that guy.

I walked to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. I'm too lazy to take a bath tonight.

I opened my Instagram account and post a picture.

Han River.

There's a lot of things that I have discovered about Hanbin today. And the witness behind those is the Han River.

OKAY! Enough of Hanbin!

'You're mentioning him a lot lately, Yannie.' I held my temple. Here's my brain again, teasing me. Gosh my head aches because of it.

I sat down to my bed and pray. I soon lay down to sleep.

This will be a good night.

I woke up early again for work. I did my everyday routine and proceed to work.

There's actually no books to be publish the following days. I just finished the book that is to be publish today.

*kruuu kruuu*

I held my stomach. It speaks food so I went to a café. I took hot chocolate and a strawberry cake. I really wanted to order coffee jelly but its too early for that.

I enjoyed my food well. I checked the time and I still have 30 minutes before my work starts. It's okay to be late since there won't be much work today.

I opened my phone to upload a photo on Instagram-again.

I uploaded my breakfasts. I add filters to make it look more aesthetic. This one seems different. I mean, my feed is usually gray because of my hobby which is skating. But today, it's pink because of the strawberry.

I browse through the newsfeed. I wonder if Hanbin got Instagram account too?

'Hanbin again? Uh-oh seems like there's something going on...' My freaking brain teased again.

Argh. I wanted to get this brain out of my head! Gosh! It drives me crazy!

I massage my temple gentle. This is crazy as goat.

I made my way out of the café and decided to walk to my work. Walking here in the streets of Seoul are better. I mean the scenery is good. There are benches when you're tired, lots of shops and colorful environment.

I suddenly miss my hometown. I'm actually from the Philippines. Yep, I'm not a korean. I speak fluently because I'm living here for years. Also, I'm a fan of K-Pop and K-Drama that's why.

I live in a province called Ilocos Sur. It's quite famous for its Spanish style architectures. It is well-preserved since Spain colonized the Philippines. Ah... I suddenly miss my family. I haven't talked to them since last week.

I still remember my promise to my Dad...

"Pa, pagbalik ko po promise, may boyfriend na 'ko!" (*Dad, when I comeback I promise, I already have a boyfriend.)

You know, things like those are unbelievable for them. They think I'm a lesbian since I don't have boyfriend since birth. They'll just laugh at those.

How mean...

Well... Who knows? What if I finally have my boyfriend? Who knows I already met him?

Who knows if that's Ha--

Wait-what?!
