Aeri didn't notice and she decided to ignore him for today and started making her way to the playground. Maybe she could ask someone for help with how to look for a job here.

"Hello" A girl a few years older than her said. She smiled warmly at Aeri and looked friendly. She wore a summer dress and her hair was open, bangs falling on her face. Aeri smiled back at her and headed towards her.

"Hi, I'm Kwon Aeri" She bowed and looked at the cute toddler sitting on the ground in front of her. The girl invited her to sit beside her.

"I'm Im Min-seo" She replied and the picked up her child. "And this is Im Sejun" She added while setting the toddler on her lap while he giggled and played with a toy car, completely lost in his own world. "Your eyes are so pretty" She said causing Aeri to blush and thank her.

"He's so cute" Aeri gushed and asked if she could hold him. They started chatting, talking about random things. Seeing the chance, she asked about the jobs here and if she could find one because she was new.

"Are you really from England?" Min-seo asked in shock and she smiled, blushing but nodding her head. They talked about the country and chatted for quite a while until Min-seo got up to get little Sejun, who was running around a tree, mesmerized by the huge plant.

She brought him back and sat him on his lap before smiling at him. "You know what? Maybe you can come over to take care of him for a day" She said and Aeri squealed.

"I'd love to" she said excitedly causing Min-seo to chuckle. They both laughed and talked until Aeri felt someone's stare.

She turned around to be met by a pair of dark eyes far away. He was staring at her again and pink dusted her cheeks. Her eyes wandered to his lips, which weren't covered with his mask. His face was structured perfectly and for a random Korean guy, he looked awfully hot. She stared back at him with wide eyes.

"I have to go. Nice meeting you, Aeri ah" Min-seo said and stood up to leave with her son. "I'll call you later" She said to her since they had exchanged numbers a while ago.

Aeri smiled and waved at her before going back to paying attention to mystery man. It was a bit rude to stare and she was going to go tell him that.

She got up to leave but before she could even exit the playground, a boy came running up to her. "This is for you" He said breathlessly, handing her a pink sticky note, and running into the playground.

She looked at the new note in her hands and a smile made its way onto her face when she read it.

'I like your randomness'

She looked up at the man who was looking at her from far away smiling slightly. Butterflies erupted in her stomach and she blushed. His smile was so cute.

***

This continued on for a few days. They exchanged notes in different ways, none of them daring to approach each other. She still didn't know his name which is why he remained mystery man.
