Letters [COMPLETED]

Chapter 6 - 2012 University

Lisa seemed uncomfortable, she went back to her dorm and walked back and forth. She didn't see the annoying Bae Joohyun today. She started to get worried.

"Aish, why would I care? I told her to get lost. Why would I expect her to come around?"

"But we supposed to go to the university together." Lisa slapped herself as if she's getting sleepy. "Idiot you never agreed on that. No wonder she didn't show up to annoy me today."

"I should just get going. She's not coming."

Lisa decided to go with her original plan. Though she could take the bus she wanted to go for a walk since she was not able to do any outdoor activities ever since she arrived in Busan. She was whistling and trying to enjoy her alone time when she spotted a familiar person. She unknowingly smiled when she saw Irene at the park alone at the swing. Irene looked down and in deep thoughts.

"What is she doing here? Why didn't she go straight to the university?"

She walked towards the swing. She realized that she has nothing to say to Irene and it would be stupid to bother her. She also felt guilty about their last encounter. She turned her back but she heard a frustrated scream coming from the girl. "What's with her?"

She observed Irene getting so frustrated like battling herself. This got Lisa concerned so she walked slowly and seated on the next swing. Irene was unaware she's not alone anymore since she's into deep thoughts.

Lisa happily watched the girl. "Such a beauty." She murmured which got Irene's attention and got startled.

"OH MY GOD!" Irene started to panic.  She thought she's seeing a ghost when she didn't see anyone walking towards her.

"Hey, easy. It is just me." Lisa gestured for Irene to sit back.

"Where did you come from?" Irene asked while looking around.

"I thought you saw me heading here. You seemed to be thinking thoroughly." Lisa explained.

"And why are you talking to me? I thought you don't want to see me." Irene was still affected by how Lisa pushed her away like some kind of an annoying mosquito.

"I do but I came across here. It was not my intention to talk to you. But you look like a crazy girl here." Lisa wanted to apologize but she didn't know how to do it. She scolded herself for being harsh to Irene when the girl didn't do anything to her. 

"Now you're calling me crazy." Irene scoffed.

"Okay, I'm sorry. I'll get going." Lisa bid her goodbye but Irene immediately pulled her back. Lisa almost stumbled good thing she was able to balance her body.

"Don't go." Irene held Lisa's arm tightly.

She gave Irene a blank expression. "Uhm, you are hurting me." She said and Irene automatically let go of her arm.

"I'm so sorry. Just please accompany me even for 10 minutes. I promise I won't be bothering you anymore. I will pretend I don't know you." She pleaded with poor puppy eyes that anyone's heart could easily melt with.

"Can you keep your promise?" She asked the small girl but didn't get a response. "Okay, I'll be your friend for 10 minutes. Tell me what are you doing here alone? Aren't you supposed to be at the university? It's the opening day of enrollment." Most of the students are trying to get enrolled during the first day of enrollment to get better schedules.

Irene was fidgeting and didn't answer Lisa's question. "Hey, can you push me? Swinging alone isn't fun." She requested.

Lisa rolled her eyes but did what Irene ask her without batting an eye on her.
