The White Tulip (Symbolism Of My Feelings)

Meeting Infinite (Part Two)

Honey

We headed to the new Bubble tea shop called 'Bubbles'. Before walking in the store, the members made sure their disguise was in their place. Thank God my friends and I don't have to face such hardships. I don't think I will survive if I place a mask on my face for an hour while running for my life from cuckoo fans and breathing the air existing only inside the item.

When we entered the cute-looking building with their name trapped in bubbles above, a warm wind went by. The store seemed brand new and shining from cleanness. Each of us chose their flavor and exited so they didn't hinder other customers since there were plenty of people. I was the last one to buy my drink, not to mention that I was alone. At least I got my chocolate bubble tea. And Sungjong was right! It was the best I've tried! I was supposed to pay mine when someone's hand prevented me. Now, who do you think it was? I know what you're going to say: ''Obviously L.''. Hehe. Well, not this time. This person has miniature eyes; whenever he smiles they appear to be closed. I have always questioned myself how he was able to look.

''It's my treat today.'' Sunggyu-... oppa said and smiled. Hmm. Infinite is very kind. My long-lasting impression of the group was that they were very sweet and acted like gentlemen. You don't see such guys nowadays as most from male population grew to be very selfish and immature. I was stunned to see some of the members being kind and all, although their exterior doesn't coincide with their actions. Woohyun-... oppa, let's say, tried to pay for Suzy's but failed as the latter distracted him and made him look elsewhere.

''Oh, I can't let you do that. But, thank you. I can buy it for myself.''

''Not this time.'' He shook his head and waved his hand left to right and repeated the action.

I wasn't the type who usually disobeys elders (L is another problem). And definitely not Suzy, who would do anything to get what she wants even if respect occurred to her as one of the main priorities.

''Ah... thank you.''

''No need to thank me.'' The leader gave some bank notes to the cashier.

''I was in the toilet for a few minutes and you're already flirting with my lady.'' I averted my gaze to the source of the voice. L stood a meter away from us displeased. Then he sighed and took out his black leather wallet. ''How much money is your drink, Honey?''

''Um, Sunggyu-oppa already paid for my Bubble tea.''

L didn't move. He stared at me like I was an interesting item. I couldn't understand why he was motionless. Sunggyu-oppa (I was still not used to this word) even shook the younger male's slim body... No use... Until he snapped out. I decided to read his mind. What did he think about? What did I do wrong? My attempt failed, unfortunately. I couldn't see or feel any aura in him. I hadn't used my abilities lately. They should be available and fresh. Why didn't it work?

''Sunggyu-oppa,'' L repeated. Oh... So that was the problem. He chuckled in disbelief. ''So you call him oppa but not me. I'm your boyfriend!'' He pouted and turned his back to me.

Well, guys. I know you repeatedly thought I'm stupid that I didn't call him 'oppa' but it's so hard, for God's sake. My tongue didn't want to form that word after his name as if it was a sin. It's easier for me to tell other guys by that (even those who I barely know) but for the one I love...You may not understand me. Usually, girls call their crushes or boyfriends by that word but... I ... just... I couldn't.

''Dude, don't be so childish. I'm not picking on her, anyway. I'm just being nice. While you let your precious girl pay her bubble tea alone... by herself... and did your thing in the restroom...''
