Because I Love You | K.T.H / J.J.K

Part 17

*time skip*

"Here's your favourite Chocolate with a whipped cream and a little bit of oreo crunch, Chocolate brownie cake. And Eunwoo, your caramel latte and Belgian waffle topped with ice cream and banana." Umji smiled then sat next to me.

"What are you two doing here? Anything? I didn't see Nana with any of her books." Umji pinched my hand.

"Ouch! You've never seen me coming here to enjoy my time instead of studying?"

"No. You're all about study. All you think about is getting a good score and apply for a scholarship."

"You're making me look like a nerd." I elbowed her hand.

"Aren't you one? A nerd princess."

"Stop calling me princess. It feels not right. I've grown up and I'm not a nerd."

"You'll always be a princess to me and Jungkook, the prince."

"That's... I-I don't know what to say anymore." I groaned and took a sip of my drink.

"You want to know something?" Eunwoo flicked Umji's hand.

"What is it?" Umji's eye sparkled.

"Kim Taehyung asked her out today." Eunwoo's mouth pouted pointing at me. "But she said she already has a plan with me." Eunwoo sounds proud.

"He asked you out?!" Umji's eyes widened as she looked at me. I just raised my brows, continue sipping my drink without saying anything.

"Anyway, since she said she's going out with me today, Taehyung told her to go out with him tomorrow." I noticed a slight change in Eunwoo. His deep sigh and his facial expression.

"Why are you sighing? It's not you. It's me, who should sigh. I am not supposed to go out with him. I want my own 'me time' because it's Friday tomorrow. You know what Friday means?" I asked while I took a bite of the cake.

"Your Monsta X-ray show." Umji and Eunwoo answered in unison.

"So? I have my reasons to reject right?"

"No. That show is an old show. You've been watching it for times." Umji stood up. "I'll talk to you guys again later. There's customers." She left us and headed to the counter.

"Do I really have to?" I frowned and put my forehead on the table.

Eunwoo caresses my hair. "No. You don't have to if you wanted. Just tell him we decided to date. He'll stop disturbing you."

I shoot my head up, "No. Your fangirls will haunt me. I had enough of their death stares. You're just like Jungkook." Eunwoo raised his brows, waiting for explaination.

I added, "He said the same thing." I took another bite of the cake, it was almost finished.

"We're friends. That adds more reason for us not to be in a relationship. And you know I'm not interested with any." I took the last piece of the cake and ate it.

"Things can change. You see Umji?" Eunwoo turned his head looking for Umji. I followed his gaze.

"Umji told me the other day that she went for a date. A blind date. But it didn't work well. And she told me, she might only want to try to be in a relationship with people from her circle. Now, look at Jooheon." He pointed at Jooheon who are not far from Umji, talking to his customer.

"He's young and their age difference is just cute. 7 years is not that bad. He owned a café right after he finished his study in University. Since Umji worked here, she was one of his first staff. She was with him from the beginning until the café got recognition and more customer. I can see Jooheon is actually took a liking to her. By how he looked and treated her."

"So, what are you trying to say here?" I almost lose my patience listening to his long explaination.

"You don't have to look for someone who are far and not knowing you that much. You can look closer. I believe there are people who likes you. Someone who knows you well. Like, Jooheon and Umji. But Umji is just too plain and dumb to realise. I've been here for times. I've seen Jooheon flirting her. But she didn't get it. Gosh, why girls are so hard to understand."

"No. Right now, why are you spilling the tea to me like this? You can take other people for example. But why Umji? She's my best friend. I don't want her to know this from me or you. I want her to realise everything by herself. And you know how foul my mouth is? I might say something bad and slipped everything through my tongue." I furrowed my brows.

"And, how can you be so sure Jooheon like her and flirted her? He might only think of her as his little sister." I scoffed.

"Are you? Perhaps you're jealous?" Eunwoo smirked. He likes to make fun of me.

I rolled my eyes, "No. I will never get jealous of things like that. It's good if Jooheon likes her. I just... I don't like to see Umji getting hurt over a guy again. But I won't meddle with their business." I raised both of my hands up to my shoulder.

"I'm not saying you should. It's just obvious. Girls just too dense, always late in realising things. And this applies to you too." Suddenly his gaze on me changes. His eyes really deep. I felt my heart pounding my ribcage.

"What do you mean? I'm pretty sure I know everything about me. Do I have something that I missed out?"

"Arghh. It's for you to figure it out. I'm not helping you. Bye. It's late I'm going home, I have family dinner after this." Eunwoo took his bag then exits the café.
