I was still writing in my journal.

There wasn't a given time for our... meeting, actually. I came here a while after my classes, and the few times Seonghwa had dropped by, it was whenever he pleased.

A while later, I hadn't even noticed how long I'd been sitting there, thinking and writing about Seonghwa, the at the sun was almost setting.

And there was no sign of Seonghwa.

My stomach dropped, and my mind jumped to the worse case scenario.

Seonghwa finally realized how pathetic it is to befriend the deaf kid and he is hanging out with Mullet boy.

I shook my head as I closes my journal, almost tempted to cross out those lines, but something in my gut told me they might be true.

But like I'd said before, I trusted Seonghwa. And I knew he was too nice to do something like this. I calmed myself down.

No. Seonghwa must be busy. Or it must have slipped out of his mind. He is human. He is a busy guy. I'm not his boyfriend or first priority.

A tap on my shoulder jolted me out of my concentrated state. I hastily slammed my journal shut again as Seonghwa took a seat next to me.

He rubbed his hands together due to the chill in the air, pulling at the sleeves on his pink sweater as he smiled at me, and I gulped at how insanely gorgeous he looked, as his face was illuminated by the rays of the setting sun.

Seonghwa raised an eyebrow as he met my eyes, and then pointedly looked down at my journal that was still in my lap. I gulped.

I wondered if he'd read anything.

Seonghwa took my hand in his as I stiffened, my mind forgetting how to supply air to my lungs. His warm fingers cradled my palms as he reached into the pocket of his jeans, dropping a few candies in my open palm.

He let go of my hand all too soon, but I could still remember how soft and how utterly comforting it had felt when he'd incased my hand in his.

I blinked, focusing on what was in my hand. It was a few apple flavored candies. My heart lunches as I remember what he'd said he might bring these yesterday, and he did.

I suppressed a grin and nodded as a thank you, Seonghwa laughing lightly and shrugging as I to say, no biggie.

I pocketed the candies, and glazed at Seonghwa was looking up at the darkening sky.

"We better get back up there soon", Seonghwa signed. "Sorry, I was late. Had a bit of office work to take off with Hoongjoong."

I scowled, and without thinking of course, my hands moved fast as I signed.

"What's that Hoongjoong to you, anyway?"

Seonghwa's eyebrow rose in amusement, as I shook my head. I raised my hands to sign, but Seonghwa once again caught my wrist, making my eyes widen in shock.

He then let go of my hands with a grin, then signed.

"How about we play 20 questions?"

I blinked, the shrugged my shoulders. Uh, okay?

"Me first. And I'll answer your question after you answer mine", Seonghwa smirked, pulling his feet up on the bench as he turned to me fully.

"What were you writing in your journal just now?"

Oh, fuck me!
