Jin was left alone in the garden, 'Right, I hope it won't be too late,' He said inside.
-------
The next morning,
"Good morning Mr. Sunshine!"
Jin was startled when Yumi suddenly popped out from behind the car!
"Woah!"
"What do you think you're doing?"
"Are you trying to give me a heart attack?!" Jin complained.
"Nope!" Yumi replied with a bright smile on her face.
"I am just trying to remind you that I still like you up 'till now," She said.
"Ssshhh!" Jin tried so hush Yumi.
"Why?!" Yumi asked as she gave Jin a side glance.
"You must be careful of your words, Young Miss. Remember that there's a lot of people who live here, and they might here you," Jin reminded Yumi.
"So what if they hear me?"
"Why?"
"Is it a crime to like someone?!" Yumi said even louder.
"Alright, alright, you can keep quiet now," Jin did not argue with Yumi anymore because he knows that he can never win over her in an argument. This girl never accept defeat when it comes to an argument!
"I'll head first," Jin said after a while.
"Oh my!" Yumi exclaimed,
Jin looked at Yumi again, "Why?" He asked.
"You're just like a husband saying goodbye to his wife before going to work," She said.
"Ha!" Jin let out a faint laugh,
"Oh!" Yumi looked at Jin, "You laughed!" She said.
"That means you liked that idea!"
"You have such a wide imagination," Jin commented as he tried to conceal his smile.
"Nah!"
"But you liked it!" Yumi replied.
Jin just shook his head and then he rode on his bicycle and drove away.
"Be careful on your way to school, hubby!" Yumi reminded Jin.
"Wifey will be waiting for you this afternoon!" She added.
Jin just waved his hand as a response which made Yumi smiled widely.
Yumi turned to get back inside the house but she was startled when she saw Alicia behind her as soon as she turned!
"Oh my!" Yumi blurted out!
"Oh, I'm sorry if I startled you," Alicia apologized.
"It's not right to listen to other's conversation, isn't it?" Yumi said sternly.
"I didn't hear anything though," Alicia replied.
Yumi throws Alicia a doubtful look but Alicia just smiled.
"Why are you here anyway?" Yumi asked after a while.
"I want to thank you for helping Yuhan to bake yesterday," Alicia said.
Yumi pretended as if she is not interested, "Oh, that?"
"You should not think too much about it. I just helped him because he keeps on bothering me," She said.
Alicia nodded her head, "Oh, I see, " She said.
"If there's nothing else, I shall take my leave now, I'm going to be late to school, "Yumi said and then she entered the house to get her things.
Alicia just smiled, seeing Yumi getting close to Yuhan gives her hope that someday, she will accept her too.
---------
Yumi continued doing the same thing three days in streaks.
It was Friday morning,
"Good morning, hubby---"
"Ssshhh!" Jin tried to hush Yumi before she could even finish her word!
"Alright, I know what you want to say," Jin said.
"How about you?"
"Have you not change your mind yet?" Yumi asked as she widened her round eyes.
"Why?"
"Are you already tired of reminding me every day?" Jin asked back.
"Nope!" Yumi replied and then she revealed a smile, " I won't get tired of reminding you that I like you," She said.
Jin just smiled, " I got it," He said.
"I have to leave now, I'm going to be late for school.
"Careful hubby!" Yumi said which made Jin smiled, sometimes, he just wanted to forget their life status and confess to her that he felt the same for her, but then the other side of his mind would remind him that this is not the right time yet.

National Comprehensive School,
"Okay that's it for today," The math teacher said.
"Do an advance study for our topic next week,"
"Yes, teacher!" The students replied.
"Goodbye,"
"Goodbye, sir,"
When their math teacher left, Margaux approaches Jin.
"Hey, Jin, I'm sorry to interrupt you, but..." Margaux paused for a moment as if she is having a second thought.
"Do you need anything?" Jin asked when Margaux did not finish her word.
"Uhm, may I borrow your mathematics book?"
"You know, I forgot to bring mine," She added.
"Don't worry, I just have to check on the pages for today's topic," she reasoned.
Jin took his book and gave it to Margaux, " Here," He said.
"Oh, thank you," Margaux said, and then she gets back to her seat.
Margaux flipped the pages as if she is checking on something, but then, their next teacher for the next subject has arrived.
Margaux hurriedly closed the book, she was about to give it back to Jin, but then she stopped as if an idea popped into her mind!
She kept the book instead of giving it back to Jin.
--------
In the afternoon, Jin was about to enter the mansion's gate but he stopped when he heard someone called him!
"Margaux?!" Jin knitted his brows when he saw Margaux came out from a taxi.
"H-Hey,"
Jin got off his bicycle and approaches Margaux.
"W-Why are you here?"
"Do you have another delivery to the neighborhood again?" Jin asked.
"Ah, n-no," Margaux replied.
"I just came to give this back..." She said as she lifted Jin's book,"
"Oh!"
"You should have just waited for next week to give it back to me," Jin said.
"Uh... I know you need it, that's why I brought it here," Margaux insisted. The truth is, it was just an alibi, she just wants to talk to him because she will not see him during the weekend.
Margaux steps forward to give Jin his book, but then she tripped and stumbled!
"Ahh~!" Margaux was startled!
She didn't expect this to happen!
Margaux thought that she's going to fall on the ground and get humiliated in front of Jin, but fortunately, Jin was fast enough to catch her before she could fall to the ground!
Margaux felt nervous she doesn't know if it's because she almost falls into the ground or it's because Jin is embracing her now!
They were in that position when Yumi's car arrived and she doesn't like seeing Jin embracing another girl!
