Soo Min

Almost a week has passed by and Jihoon continues to bring me breakfast, walk me to work and visit me at the same time of the day every day, without fail.

He always finds a reason to go to the store like buying simple things like a bunch of paper, a folder, binder clips and yesterday he bought a ruler.

I don't know where he uses it because he doesn't go to school anymore since he's a college drop- out but if he wants to buy, I just let him be.

In the one week of being with him, he never fails to amaze me with his fun stories about travelling the world and most especially his cute jokes.

He's a really fun person to be with and he's the type of person to laugh at you first before helping you out.

Even though we don't really get to hang out much anymore, our little walks together are the moments that I cherish the most. I don't see him as a nuisance anymore, he's a special Treasure.

It's my first week in my workplace and I'm glad that I lasted a week without getting fired. There's really no reason to leave my job since Film is very nice and the work there is very light so I think I can last a long time here. Jihoon and I had our breakfast together like usual,

"Hey, we haven't been hanging out this week?" He sulked, pouting like a baby

"I'm sorry, I'm always at work, but do you want to hang out later? I don't really have anything to do after work"
"Can we watch a movie?"
"What movie?"
"We'll choose"
"Hm, okay"

~~~

Jihoon walked me to work as usual and it was a normal day at work but Film was acting extra hyper today. She was holding a box of chocolates on her hands and she looks prettier today because she had a very light make- up on

"Wow, looking pretty today"

She smiled at me with a very shining look on her eyes, well she looks inspired.

"Noona, today is a special day, I'll finally confess to my crush"
"Really? Good luck and don't get your heart broken"
"Yes noona, I won't"

I just let her be and got ready for opening the store. I watched her fix herself and put a girly scent of perfume on her clothes, Film is really pretty though, so I hope she doesn't get her heart broken because that will really hurt her.

I let her leave early since she needs more time to talk to her friends at school, well, you know, a typical schoolgirl that's why I told her that she can go now, let her enjoy her special day.

I don't remember falling in love when I was her age, I only worried about how I can hide from my drunk and problematic mother but I kinda regret it because now I don't know the feeling of being in love or when to say that I'm in love.

I just see boys as boys but I think Jihoon is different, every time I'm with him I feel happy, I really like his company and I feel safe around him, well maybe I like him??

Ugh, what am I thinking? I shrugged my thoughts off and thought about something else. I opened the book and picked up where I left so I could block my wilding thoughts, the day seemed to pass by very fast and afternoon came.

Oh, have I told you that Haruto comes daily just to borrow and return books? he usually comes during their lunch break so I expect him to come at this hour. Haruto is a nice kid, he learns fast because he often asks me about the different Korean words and he surely picks up things really quick, I slightly regret that I judged him at first.

"Good morning" He greeted me with a smirk forming on the corners of his lips.

He came in extra early today, maybe he has some questions about grammar and spelling.
