I Fell for You: Glance

"I'm his assistant, can u hand me the supervisor?" 

"Huh?! I'm in Seoul" I replied

"Oh... don't you know yet? I thought you've met him, he came to visit and check the business"

"Is he in Seoul?!"

"Yeah he arrived yesterday, he wanted to check on you on his way so I thought he's with you"

"Marie!!" a loud voice interrupted

He looked worried but once he sat next to me a smile appeared on his face and so I smiled too

"You're still here... I know you have a busy schedule so let's get out of here"

"Are you kicking me out?"

"No :b, I wanna leave too"

"Let's check if the results are out then decide"

I got up and he held my arms on the way to the room

"But I'm fine, I can stand alone"

"That way I won't be worried"

"She probably exhausted herself and did more than she can handle, if you want to work this much then you shouldn't skip meals it's not good for you"

"I'll make sure she won't skip them"

"I won't..."

"You sure you're okay now?"

"I'm good, and I'm bored of here... I'm feeling so good that in fact, do you want to race me to the grocery over there?" pointing at it from the window

"You sure? my legs are too long to compete with"

"Hold the heavy bag, I'll hold the light one and we're even"

"But I didn't accept! you're still tired..."

I counted to three and ran but walked slowly when he started to run...

"What are you doing?" He looked at me

"Smart strategy I learned in physics" but he was too fast that I had to forget about it and run

"Yah wait!" I shouted

"It's a competition I won't wait for you" he laughed

The grocery was far away than expected we ran out of breath, but we couldn't stop laughing when we entered the store because we forgot to see who's the winner and were only discussing which ice cream flavors are the best

"Believe me, it was me" I tried to convince him

"Yeah yeah as you wish"

"No It's not a pity, I really won" 

"Then the truth is that it was me... the moment we shouted ice cream"

"Ah, right... one step closer...."

He looked inside the fridge and asked

"Strawberry?"

"No, I don't like it, I prefer chocolate"

"Really?! I'll have strawberry"

"Okay, you can enjoy your free Ice cream" I handed him the strawberry flavor and he smiled happily like a child

We sat outside to eat it

"But seriously, I can't believe there're people who hate strawberry flavor"

"I exist"

"But it's good"

"I'd tell you why I hate it but you won't like that" I held my stomach and acted like I vomited
