"Now why did you pulled me away from you and ran to the living room as if I have done some kind of weird things to you?" Young-soo asked her teasingly.
Hyejin stood next to the dining table in silence without uttering a word. She blushed hard and she was so shy to fan her burning hot cheeks with her hands.
He went near to her and asked, "What happened are you alright?"
As he came near to her her heart beat rose, she put one of her hands over the table, and held the edge of the table tightly in her hand.
Her tomato red flushed cheeks made him to cup her face in his hand. He doesn't know with what guts he cupped her face, but when he looked at her rounded eyes he realized the nervousness in those beautiful eyes of her. He felt the chill ran down his spine, he took his hands off of her face, and cleared his throat by taking a few steps backward from her.
He checked the time of his wrist watch it reads 10:55 pm. "I'll leave now it's already pretty late," he said and walked near to the entrance door of the house. Hyejin slowly followed him to the door to see him off. Before he leaves the house he wished her once again to do well in the selection competition, he asked her to lock the door properly, and stay safe in the house.
She just nodded her head and bid him bye by waving her hand to him.
Young-soo walked on the street with a smile plastered on his face. He walked back to the swimming institute, when he reached there he gets in his car which has been waiting for him to drop him off at his school's hostel.
Since the day he started to go to the private swimming classes his parent got him a special permission from his school principal to get back to his hostel room late in the night at the weekends.
Once he went to his hostel room, he said to his roommate also his best friend Hoon-suk, that he went to Hyejin's house and stayed with her alone in the house for a while. However, Hoon-suk didn't show any reaction on his face because he felt so sleepy, he just asked him, "oh, really?" and went back to sleep.
Young-soo lies down on his bed and felt as if he was in a fantasy world; he loved the new feelings which he was going through in his heart.
Throughout the week he looked so thoughtful and tensed whether Hyejin has did well or not in the selection competition. He was so curious to know about her results. He tried to reach her by the phone but he couldn't reach due to the weak signal, neither she didn't contact him to his phone number to inform him about her results. He was so impatient to meet her at the weekend.
When Saturday comes, he went to the swimming institute in the evening, waited for her arrival by sitting at the edge of the poolside, and watches the practices of other swimmers in the pool.
When Hyejin arrived she saw Young-soo was sitting alone on the poolside, she walked near to him before he sees her and she stood behind him. As Young-soo saw her reflection on the pool he turned his head with a smile to look at her. However, Hyejin bent down, put her hands on his back, and pushed him into the pool. He went into the deep end of the pool and then he came up, he swam to the poolside to the direction where Hyejin was standing, and leaned his hands at the poolside, "yeah! Now why did you push me in the pool?"
She sat down on the poolside in Asian squatting posture, "I pushed you in the pool because I was feeling so happy."
He widened his eyes in surprise, "that means you got selected in the under seventeen national teams."
She nodded her head happily.
He grabbed her hands in his and pulled her in the pool. When they came up in the pool she hit him over his arms, "why did you pulled me in without a warning."
"To congratulate you," he said and congratulated her and wished her to achieve higher and higher in swimming.
She looked at his eyes without a blink. He licked his lips nervously, "I think I'm in love with you Hyejin," he said and kissed her cheeks without considering that there were other swimmers are doing their practices in the pool.
Hyejin flushed, and widened her eyes in surprise. She was startled and wasn't expected the bold move from him this sudden. She went out of the pool using the pool railing. Her body was shivering to the new feeling as she walked to the ladies locker room. Young-soo stalked her and waited at the entrance to the locker room. She quickly changed her dress, took her handbag slung over her shoulder and walked out.
As she saw Young-soo at the entrance to the locker room, her heart beat rose high. He grabbed one of her wrist, "please, spare a minute for me; I need to talk to you, Hyejin."
She pulled back her hand from his grasp, and walked fast to the entrance to the institute. Young-soo walked behind her, and stopped once he reaches the entrance to the institute as he was in his swimming suit. He ran back to the men's locker room changed his dress by planning to meet her at her house.
When he walked out to the institute, his driver approached him and informed that Mrs. Lee asked me to bring you to the residence.
Young-soo let out a sigh of disappointment and gets in the car. When he reached home his mother asked him to change his outfits to go out for the dinner. He did go to his room and changed his outfits. He went to one of the family restaurants in Seoul along with his parent.
He didn't talk much with his parent, he was thinking about Hyejin and his wrong move with her.
