Yerim rushed inside of her small yet very cozy apartment and dropped her bag to the floor before almost running to her bedroom, and opened her white closet.
She threw the clothes on her bed before hurriedly undressing herself, trying to ignore the many hickies on her naked body. She quickly dressed up and lapped over to her bathroom in order to brushed her brown hair and applied some red lipstick on her heart-shaped lips.
She then took notice of the red mark on her neck, and gasped.
"I better be careful and let my hair down in order to hide it today."
She pouted before touching her neck.
She quickly grabbed her bag from the floor as well as her keys, and left her apartment. She locked the door in a hurry and walk in a fast pace to the bus stop.
After a few minutes ride, she quickly got off the bus at her destination, and walked to her shop at a fast pace. She bowed to the few people she recognized, making sure to give them the most beautiful smile.
"Good morning!" She cheerfuly greeted Seulgi and the client she was attending to.
"Have a good day! We hope you will visit our shop again!" Seulgi politely told the old man as she handed him the bouquet of white roses he had bought.
"I certainly will! Have a good day!" He said with a smile before leaving the shop.
"Good morning! You look radiant today." Seulgi complimented her before giving Yerim her signature moon shape eyes smile.
"So do you." She smiled back sweetly.
"Don't play innocent. You know why you do." Seulgi said as she wiggled her eyebrows and smirked.
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Yerim teased as she walked to the office at the back of the shop unable to hide her smile.
"You should have told me everything because I opened the shop for you since you were too busy making out with some sexy stranger! " Seulgi teased her as she closely followed behind.
" I wasn't making out! Well ... At least not this morning ... " Yerim blushed madly while dropping her bag to the floor and sitting down at the office chair and took some administrative papers out of the white desk's drawer.
"Tell me everything!" Seulgi excitedly said as she grabbed a chair and placed it on the other side of the desk facing her blushing boss before sitting down, eager to know every detail about Yerim's one-night stand with a man.
After a few minutes of talking, blushing, teasing and hard laughing, the two calmed down a bit. "What about this morning?"
"What do you mean?"
"What happened this morning?"
"Well ... Nothing."
"Nothing as in nothing at all?"
"Yeah. He still acted like a gentleman but he barely talked to me. It was a bit awkward ... He also was more distant and colder when he talked to me. I guess I was just another girl he had fun with, and that once he got what he wanted, he didn't feel like being the warm man he was last night anymore. "
"Tsk. A whole damn jerk." Seulgi shook her head as she sighed.
"But at least you had fun last night, right? Don't take his morning attitude too much to heart. It was just a one-night stand."
"Right ..." Yerim replied feeling a bit down at the thought of the young man's distant attitude from the morning.
It was already lunch time when Yerim's stomach grew. She took her bag before walking to Seulgi who was start busy arranging a bouquet.
"I'll go get sandwiches and juices. Do you want the same as usual?"
"Yes please!"
After a few minutes of walking, she entered the cafe she usually bought sandwiches and juices from. She quickly stood in the queue and patiently waited for her turn. She looked around and observed that many men and women eating while laughing. Many people working in offices were eating lunch there as the cafe was placed in an area with many offices around.
"Hey Yeye!"
"Hello Tae." Yerim greeted the man behind the counter.
Taeyong was the owner of the cafe. He was her age, and looked quite handsome. She and Taeyong eventually became friends as she kept coming to get sandwiches from his cafe almost every day.
"Should I get you the usual?" He asked her with a smile.
"Yes, please." Yerim smiled back.
"Here's your order, pretty." Taeyong told her as he placed a bag containing her order on the counter.
"Thank you. How much? " Yerim open her wallet.
"It's free."
"What, no.. "
"Just take it, Ye. And have a good day." he smiled warmly, showing his doe eyes.
Ugh, why there are so many guys with pretty eyes these days, Yerim thought.
"Alright then, thank you Tae, but next time promise me you'll let me pay, or I won't come to your cafe again, " she threatened the man, but her sulky face appears very cute while her lips pouted.
Taeyong just laughed and waved goodbye to Yerim who just walked out of the cafe.
"Shit." She cursed as her wallet fell down to the floor after she struggled trying to put it back in her bag. She crouched a bit to get it back when she suddenly saw a hand taking her wallet and handing it to her.
"Here." That voice. Yerim stood straight again, not daring to check whether she was right or wrong. She slowly took back her wallet with her shaking hands before bowing to the person who handed it to her.
"Thank you!" She politely thanked as she didn't dare to look up.
"My pleasure." She felt shivers down her spine at the simple sound of that voice.
She bowed again before quickly walking away when that voice stopped her in her tracks.
"It's you, right?" She froze on the spot. No word was able to escape her lips as they stayed stuck down her throat.
"Kim Yerim. It's you, right?" She gulped in nervousness as she heard footsteps getting closer to her until the owner of the footsteps stood in front of her again.
"Did you lose your ability to talk?" She looked up and finally met those doe eyes again. It was exactly that stare. That stare that make her lost into a galaxy full of stars.
