"Brin, how do you feel about the songs you chose from the feast or to be precise how did you come across these songs?"
"It's meaningful, though childish but its hits differently every time you hear it. Do you know sometimes the simple plain things hits you differently than all those complicated fancy words, keeping it clean, simple and elegant is the key. And moreover, it is close to me…..
Never mind, I could run the whole page and still find keep reasons to go on, so for a refreshing break, tell me whether you have any plans on the theme and the paintings as it'll be put up for fundraise. "
He just played along and smiled, I realized he did it more often these days. It made him look extremely hot, making it terribly hard for me to avoid. I wished he could talk a longer and hear him saying and explaining the value of the song in his life, made me feel like I have won an award for myself, a prestigious award of excellence. I don't understand why I'm being inclined to him when I clearly know his goal and how wrong it is for my morals. I intently looked and dive into deep thought while staring at him with a slurry tentative look. Coming to my right senses I was certain that I looked like a ghost, who had been chained long and is looking straight into the eyes demanding for food, the thought of it gave me chills, in sheer contempt I said out loud,
"Stop it,"
Realizing my stupidity and his confused face, I continued
"No! No! I didn't mean to say that, I was actually was trying just to stop myself from thing about us, ehm, No….
Oh, Yes, No, no, no, no…."
"Okay cool down"
He gave a side smile, took both my hands and tapped his hands unto mine. My overly honest answer had made myself a fool in my own eyes, I knew for a fact that his gestures were pure and was simply trying to soothe me but my little immature heart was pounding in the most unnatural way, for a second I thought I was to be hospitalized and the next moment be sent in for the most complicated surgery. My body has never been so sensitive to touch, why am I, so, now? Is this attraction? But why do I feel the same when I'm with Kim too or is it not so? Maybe it can be because I had no guy friends and was simply not very not sociable, or to be precise plain. Yes, that makes complete sense and its normal thing to feel this way too, maybe or maybe not. He was maybe concerned and utterly cute without his powerful façade on, he continued,
"Cool down, now look at me, slowly inhale, then exhale, inhale exhale, in , out ..: Okay are you fine now?"
"Yes, yes, as good as new, thank you."
"Let's go to the ice cream shop nearby, I mean it's unexpectedly hot today and we can sit around and talk comfortably."
I nod my head in agreement and he gave me the sweetest million dollar smile in return, a smile for which was pricelessly unaffordable. I don't know why my stupid mind as so active about emotions that the next moment I was thinking about it as maybe our first date though I knew we were from different world. He was the sole heir of the fortunes of his father, "the richest man in Incheon", though my family is doing pretty well, I was not the sole child. He was sociable and excelled not only in academics but co curricular activities. He was sociable to a point and talked in riddles which I did not even understand. Apart from which we had a vast contrast in the way we think, act and respond to a situation, though only for a short period I knew he accept everything faded in his way and bravely face it, rather than hide and run away from it. He put his all into something that he puts his mind into be it a positive or negative one. He was literally the coolest, most handsome guy ever while I was better not speak of it. I know that it is wrong to make such comparisons but I just can't refrain myself from thinking so.
As I reach the small store at the end of the pavement I realized how awkward it must have been for him, for I had been silent the entire time. I look up and I could see "Sweet Contrast" written in black bold letter on the pink banner, it had a finesse touch to it. The outside looked grand with the glasses on and the pink flowers added cuteness and emotions to it. As I entered I could see the place filled with people, the walls were painted pink but the chairs and tableware were all white in colour while the mat was black.
Everything was just so perfect and the fact that he was there with me made it better further to add to which the only place left was a spot on the corner with two chairs and from my calculation had the best view. I looked at him in the eyes as to inquire whether to occupy the empty seat and amazingly he gave me a nod. I guess by now he must have understood my emotions. I walked past three tables and as I finally reach the table , Brin in a very gentlemanly manner pulled out the chair and made room enough for me to take my seat. I could see the counter on the extreme right but it was placed in such a spot that it was the centre of attraction, where an old woman in her mid sixties maybe sat with the brightest smile and the warmest look.
I could feel Brin walking behind me and with each step he his steps became fader and finally curiously I turned back to see him no where...
