After the coffee, Arsh took her empty cup from her hands to wash them when he heard her announce, "Let's date." There was no hesitation but curiosity.
Arsh paused, hard to believe his ears. He had recently realized they were all underestimating her just because she wasn't smart. That doesn't mean her emotional balance is weak. She was indeed the type to be shy but knew to accept what she liked or disliked.
He turned to her, to confirm he didn't imagine himself anything. There was anticipation and little shyness for voicing her acceptance to be his girlfriend.
Anyhow, Arsh slanted his head asking playfully, "Are you asking me to be your boyfriend?"
Noor: "..."
She realized he didn't ask her to be his girlfriend at all. He just confessed he loves her. But… 'he is doing all this to be my boyfriend, right?' She convinced herself first and countered in fluster, "Stop bullying me."
