AND THEN YOU CAME

16 회

It's easy to find her. Especially when she walks so slow like that. This girl is really something. Come on Jieun, where are you going?

As soon as she gets into my reach, i stretch my arms to hold her by the shoulders and spin her around, making her gasps in surprise.

"Where did you go?" I ask, more to whining.

Her body stays still for few seconds, before she suddenly puts a hand on her tummy and bents down.

"Ouch! I-I think i got stomach ache. Please let them know that i'm not joining tonight."

I get confused at first, but i immediately laugh at her lame act after that. Come on, even a kindergartener won't be fooled by that.

"You're just suck in acting. Let's go now." I put my arm over her shoulder, dragging her with me.

"Wait up!" she resists, and i can't help but to let go.

When i look at her without saying a word, she looks down. "I-I can't face Hyunae. You know about that lame apology."

As soon as realization hits me, i laugh out loud.

Oh God, i thought it she's jealous of them again this whole time!

"Why are you laughing? This is serious okay." She punches my arm, sulking.

I try to calm down and take it seriously, as she requested.

"Well, you have me right? No need to worry about that." I ruffle her hair. "You have to worry more about this: the guys are thinking you're running away because you're jealous."

Well, that's actually what i thought. But she doesn't have to know about that right?

Her eyes widen. "Really? Well the fact is, i can't care less. Let's go back now, i gotta prove everyone wrong."

Amazingly, she believes me. She quickly makes her way back to the restaurant.

I shake my head, smiling as i watch her back burning with invisible fire.

-Jieun's POV-

I don't care about anything anymore. I'm hungry and i just want to eat everything on the table now!

Screw that lame apology, screw Taehyung, screw that lovebirds, screw everything! I just wanna have fun.

The meat is such a heaven. To be honest i kind of underestimated this place at first because it's quite small, but really though, i was wrong. The meat they served is SO. GOOD.

I think i eat the most out of the girls. But guess what? I don't care. We're supposed to celebrate the victory right? So it's not a problem!

When i was busy putting in the meat on the perilla leaf, somebody just decides to put their drink on my place.

I glare at whoever annoyed me, but my eyes widen immediately at the sight of Hyunae smiling at me.

"I guess you ordered this?"

I look down to the strawberry milk on the table. Well i technically didn't order milk.

I look up again, and she winks at me before she walks away.

"Jieun." i look up at the call of my name. "You look dumb. Swallow your food and put down the leaf!"

I choke, quickly put down the leaf and try to swallow the food inside of my mouth.

I take the milk on my hand, and notice there's a short note written on the bottle.
