Chapter Twelve

// I think it's time to make some grandchildren, KiKu-yah

Byun KiKu p.o.v.

Wooyoung parked in an apartment buildings parking lot and I carefully went down. My heart was still beating rapidly from the adrenaline that was pumping through my veins. This was definitely my first and last time sitting on this thing. "How are you feeling?", I gave Wooyoung my helmet before saying "I'm never doing this again. And you probably will get bruises on your wrist from nails, I apologize in advance." He chuckled before he locked his motorcycle. He told me that in the building right next to us was his apartment. He and Yeosang were friends for little more than 10 years and started living together since they both got their first paycheck. Wooyoung led the way towards the bookshop and I admired his neighborhood. There were cherry blossom trees every 5 meters on each side of the road. Wooyoung who was right next to me followed my gaze. "You like the view?", I turned to him. "It's absolutely ravishing." 

We finally arrived at the not so far book store and Wooyoung opened the door for me. I thanked him and went inside. The sweet musky smell of old books hit my nose and warmed my heart. I rushed towards the counter and asked the young girl behind it about my desired book. "We don't have it here right now, I'm terribly sorry but I can order it. It would be delivered tomorrow morning and you can come to pick it up if you'd like.", I thought for a second. "I can drive you here tomorrow again, don't worry.", Wooyoung looked me in the eyes and smiled. A happy face replaced my thoughtful one and I nodded and the cashier. "Wait, does that mean we'll take the motorcycle again?" "You are a hundred percent right, Kiks.", I glared at his smirking face for calling me Kiks and hit his upper arm. "Miss, I ordered it. I only need your contact details.", I quickly wrote everything on the piece of paper the cashier gave me and we were ready to leave. We left the store and the September wind greeted us. "What next?", I turned to Wooyoung. "We could either eat out or we could go to my place and order a pizza or cook something. What do you prefer?", Wooyoung asked me and I thought for a second. I was on food all day and just wanted to sit down on a couch. "Let's go to your place, I want to sit down on a comfy couch. I'm outside already all day.", Wooyoung nodded smilingly and took my hand. He took me to the apartment building and opened the door. He led the way up with my left hand still in his. I looked at our hands and slightly smiled. He's still the touchy Wooyoung, what did I expect. In front of the door of his apartment, I saw a pair of shoes neatly laying together. "Yeosang is home. ", he let me know before unlocking the door as I was taking off my shoes. "I'm home and brought someone!", he shouted. "I'm in the living room!", Yeosang shouted back and we went to the living room. "Oh, KiKu, hey!", he greeted me with a hug and I then greeted Wooyoung with a nod. He was holding a glass of brown liquor in his hand and had his right leg over his left crossed in a manly style. He was watching a drama I firstly couldn't recognize but after some time I recognized it as Sky Castle. "Wanna drink something?", Wooyoung said while standing next to an open cabinet of diverse alcoholic beverages. I nodded and Wooyoung took out two of the same fancy whiskey glasses Yeosang was holding too. He took out a bottle of Whiskey too and poured it both glasses. He left the room and brought a bottle of sparkling water and filled the rest of the glass with it. He gave me my glass and I thanked him. "Didn't know you were a whiskey drinker.", Yeosang, who sat right next to me, said. "Hm, I'm not, actually.", I sad while slightly swirling my glass before taking a sip and letting the burning liquor rushing down my gullet. "Oh my, on what episode are you?", I asked Yeosang as Wooyoung sat down to my left. "Episode 16 and I'm not ready for it to be done in for more episodes...", he pouted before taking another sip. "But you have to continue watching. I'm on episode 19 and I'm not ready to watch the last episode."
