Chapter 13: Thank You

Wonwoo's POV

After four long months, we've comeback to korea but a part of me wasn't at all relieved. Why?, Because of Soonyoung I have to avoid meeting Gyunghui for a while, just until she forgets about it or did she already? and also not meeting her awkwardly but I'm a bit devastated cause now that I'm near to her I can't even meet her without being nervous or awkward, I just hope that my parents won't tell her parents about us coming back here.

But I hoped for something impossible. Yes, dad told Gyunghui's parents that we're already here but I shouldn't be the one to complain, I mean I think they we're bound to know our whereabouts cause their business partners, no one could change that fact.

We've just arrived earlier this morning and now I badly want to read something, it's now four thirty pm and I think this is the right time to go to the library without bumping into Gyunghui, school's end at five but if today is the last day of school it might probably end earlier as that's how our school work, the classes will be shortened so all the students will have time to say goodbye to their friends and schoolmates.

But I think it's certainly not today and I really hope it's not today.
When I was inside the library, I headed to the novel section which is in the third shelf. I searched for something interesting, I looked at their titles and descriptions but there wasn't any that I wanted. Gonna have to search in other shelves I think, I guess novels are not what I wanted now.

When I turned around I saw her, someone I wasn't supposed to meet, Gyunghui. She was just there standing still but there we're sweats running down her face, she was smiling but her eyes weren't it was rather a bit sad but with relief.

She finally walked towards me but my body wasn't listening to me, I want to run and avoid her but I was just standing there waiting for her to be infront of me.

"It's been a while....Wonwoo.", she said when she was infront of me. Although my body wasn't listening to me, I could still manage to talk and control myself.

"Y—yeah, it has been.", I said and her smile became wider and before I knew it I unconsciously did too.

I couldn't bring up any conversation, but I'm not surprised that she did, she was always the one to bring up a conversation between us, how she always starts it bubbly and with always a smile is one of the reason why she was different from any other girls and one of the reason why I like her.

"How was L.A.?"

"It was great.", It wasn't really that great all I did was be in my room and school there was hectic just because of girls not leaving me alone.

"A—ah, R—really?", She said and looked down, I smiled when she did, it was kinda cute.

"Mmmm,..you wanna grab some ice cream?", She has always been the one who is asking me for ice cream but now I'm the one who did it, seems like she doesn't know what to say right now and I too don't know what to talk about cause I keep being cautious if suddenly she asked about the confession and I don't know what to say actually.

When I sat on the chair infront of the convenience store I felt really relieved cause everytime I passed by a convenience store in L.A. I'd always remember Gyunghui, how we eat ice cream and the things we talked about, I've always wanted to make it happen again and now that I'm here, I feel delighted.

"I haven't heard about...",she started talking but stopped, her eyes we're blinking so much and I could tell that she was hesitating. I didn't say anything and just waited for her to continue on what was she about to say.

"A—about you f—for the past d—days.", She continued and smiled awkwardly.

"R—really?", I thought Soonyoung told her about my supposed to be confession or is she just forgetting about it right now?. I just hope that she wouldn't bring it up.
