Invite To Play

instagram 뭐예요?

The night continued on. Solar and Moonbyul playing various arcade games. Moonbyul held a camera? It look like she was filming their gaming exploits. It was useless to pretend I wasn't looking. The few rimes Moonbyul noticed she smiled and gave me a nod. It was embarrassing to be caught. Then again, that meant that she was looking too.

Yeoreum suggested,"Maybe they're coworkers." Her attempts at helping me feel better were appreciated but unnecessary. I even told her so.

"I literally talked to her for five minutes. I'm fine. It's fine. I'm over my crush."

Yeoreum raised her hands like she meant no offense,"I get customer crushes too. The best thing is, you'll never see them again."

I huffed air out and slapped my cheeks. Even though what she said was true, I couldn't stop glancing over and watch them have fun.

I had to be real with myself, if I was not at work right now would I have the guts to approach her? Absolutely not.

I would have hid in my drink and giggled about the handsome girl. Then went home alone and full of regret on the missed opportunity. There was no use in dwelling on it. I just had to focus on my work-

A person tapped their nails on the bar,"Hey, I need to send you the film I got here. You have an instagram?"

It was Moonbyul, looking buzzed and flushed. "I do," I gave her my handle, watching her input it in her phone. "You okay to get home? Your friend is looking worse." Moonbyul showed me her screen. After confirming it was me she pocketed her device.

"Solar? She's fine just tired from the shoot and the drinks."

"Byulyi," Solar sang, or slurred,"I need to sleeeep. Where's the exit?" She looked confusedly around, gripping her camera to her chest.

"She's fine." Moonbyul surmised, flashing you the V sign. "Be seeing you."

The duo dragged each other out into the night. I blinked shaking my head, There's no way she would remember to message me.

She probably spent the night at Solar's. Doesn't mean they are together. The chances of confessing my crush was small but it wouldn't hurt to befriend Moonbyul. I rapidly tapped back.

I collapsed back onto my bed holding my phone. My heart thudded hard. Even if this meeting didn't amount to anything it was exciting to meet her in person again.
