Chapter 16 - The Time I've Been Waiting For

Nam Hyuk waits for Hae Rin while sitting on his motorcycle. When he saw Hae Rin approaches him, he quickly gets down from his motorcycle and waiting for Hae Rin.

"Hi, Hae Rin," said Nam Hyuk waved at Hae Rin cheerfully.

Hae Rin just shows her tight face on Nam Hyuk. When he seeing Hae Rin's face, Nam Hyuk slowly lowered his hand.

"So, what do you want to say to me?" asked Nam Hyuk.

Hae Rin sighs.

"I don't know why you keep disturbing Min Jun but ... "

"Min Jun? Can you don't mention his name?" interrupt Nam Hyuk.

His mood disappeared when that boy's name came out of Hae Rin's mouth.

"But why you keep disturbing him? He's not looking for trouble with you either" replied Hae Rin.

"Okay, I will be honest to you? I don't like him" answered Nam Hyuk.

"Why?"

"I don't like him close to you. I don't like him talk with you"

They fell silent.

"Are you satisfied with my answer? I've been honest with you. So I want you to be honest with me too" Nam Hyuk approaches Hae Rin.

Hae Rin had to lift her head to look at Nam Hyuk.

"Have you really forgotten about me?"

That question made Hae Rin's heart flutter. She immediately bowed her head.

"Hae Rin, are you really don't have any feelings for me anymore?"

She can't deceive herself. So she took the option to go from there. But, Nam Hyuk holding her hand and pulling it closer to him.

"Hey, look at me," said Nam Hyuk to Hae Rin.

Hae Rin tightened her heart and looked at Nam Hyuk.

"Looks like you still can't forget me anymore" Nam Hyuk replied sarcastically.

"Why are you so sure I still haven't forgotten you?" replied Hae Rin as she wanting to deny her heart.

"Do you think I just met you?" asked Nam Hyuk.

Hae Rin is silent. She immediately withdrew her hand and left Nam Hyuk. Nam Hyuk just smiled seeing Hae Rin leave him. Yes! He jumped for joy. So, I still have a chance. Then, he stopped when other students saw him strangely. His face was red with embarrassment. He immediately reached for his helmet and put it on.

"Why do I feel like my life is in a drama?"

Areum laughs at Hae Rin who just says that.

"What are you talk about?" asked Areum and sipping her ramyeon noodles.

Hae Rin came out of the shop counter and approached Areum who was sitting alone while tasting the ramyeon bought from this shop.

"I really can't face Nam Hyuk. He can make me tremble and he himself knows it all. That's why he dared to treat me like that" said Hae Rin.

"Yeah, so you must avoid him" replied Areum with her mouth full.

"How I must avoid him? How?" asked Hae Rin.

Areum shrugged both her shoulders a sign she didn't know.

"By the way, he told me he doesn't like to see me with Min Jun" continued Hae Rin.

"So? You still want to continue that plans?" asked Areum.

"Of course. But, that Min Jun doesn't want to help me" Hae Rin slowly slammed the table.

"Before this plan goes too far, you better stop. It will complicate the situation. You playing with the feelings. What will happen if you pretend to be in love with him and all of a sudden you're really really in love with him?" replied Areum.

"Nope! I will not fall in love with him. But, I'm afraid he's the one who falls in love with me

"What are you talking about?" Areum's ears amused to hear Hae Rin's words.

"If not, why did he help me before?"

Areum shook her head.

"He just wants to help you from Nam Hyuk because he knows Nam Hyuk will continue to bother you. Please, don't misunderstand" replied Areum.

"Yeah, I know that. I'm just kidding. He won't fall in love with me. I'm sure! I'll tell him today"

"So, you won't tell him yet about this?" asked Areum surprised.

Hae Rin just smiled.

"What? So you just confess to him to be your boyfriend?" asked Areum again.

Hae Rin nods.

"Oh My God! He should call you crazy.."

"What?"

"How thick is your face? Aren't you shy? You confess to him, the boy you've only known for a few weeks to be your boyfriend?"

"I don't know how to tell him the truth. I'll tell him today" replied Hae Rin.

Areum is still shocked by Hae Rin. She woke up when she got a call. She immediately picked up the call.

"Hello, you already there? Okay. I'll be there"

She turned off the call and put her phone in the bag.

"How do you think I should tell him? Will he help me?"

Areum looks at Hae Rin.

"It's up to you. I must go now" Areum pack a bowl of ramyeon cups and throw them in the trash.

"Now? Please tell Ji Young to wait a minute" replied Hae Rin.

"I'd rather go than listen to your silly plan," said Areum and stand up want to leave.

"Hey, so you chose Ji Young over me?" asked Hae Rin.

"I will choose you but not this time. I must go now. Bye babe"

After hugging Hae Rin, Areum quickly exits the store leaving Hae Rin. Hae Rin wanted to take a break but someone entered the store.

"Welcome," she immediately wakes up.

"This is me," said Chae Min and approaches Hae Rin.

Hae Rin sat back down and rested.

"What do you want? Ramyeon? Just do by yourself" said Hae Rin and closed her eyes.

"It's okay. Food is already available at home. What time are you back home? We can dinner together" replied Chae Min.

"Are you cooking at home?" asked Hae Rin.

"Me? Absolutely not. Mom already cooks for us at home" replied Chae Min.

Hae Rin nods. Mom cooks. It's must delicious. Wait! Hae Rin opens her eyes and looks at Chae Min surprised.

"What you just say? Does mom cook for us? At home?"

Chae Min just nods.

"Are you trying to make fun of me? Please tell me!" said Hae Rin and holding Chae Min's hand while shaking it.

Chae Min is furious when Hae Rin interrupts him and he pulls his hand away.

"Yeah, she cooks for us. I come here because she told me to ask you what time you came back home" replied Chae Min.

Hae Rin was speechless. Is this a good start to getting along with mom?

"Do you think mom already forgive me?" asked Hae Rin to Chae Min.

Chae Min looks at Hae Rin.

"Are you want to cry right now? Please don't" replied Chae Min when he saw Hae Rin's glassy eyes.

She could not contain her excitement. Finally, tears dripped down her cheeks. She put her forehead on her arm and cried on the table.

"Hey, why are you crying?" asked Chae Min.

Chae Min sat next to Hae Rin and looked at her sister while gently rubbed Hae Rin's back.

"Please don't cry. You should be happy" said Chae Min trying to calm her sister down.

"Are you sure she will forgive me?"

"I'm sure. You're still her daughter even she still don't forgive you" replied Chae Min.

Hae Rin raised her face. Her cheeks were wet with tears. She covered her face with both her hands and cried again.

"Stop it! What if the customer comes in? Please stop crying" said Chae Min.

"You go back. I'll be back in a moment"

"I'll go when you've stopped crying" replied Chae Min.

"I already stop crying so you can go home" Hae Rin wiped the remaining tears on her cheeks.

"Alright, I'll go now. We'll wait for you at home"

Hae Rin nods her head. Chae Min patted Hae Rin's shoulder and left her alone.

The clock is already showing 7 p.m. Hae Rin happily exits the store to go home. She had fun thinking about their dinner later.

"Has mom already accepted the fact that dad has died not because of me?"

"Will she call me her daughter?"

Various questions popped into her head until she was unaware that a speeding motorcycle approached her from the back like wanting to snatch her bag.

"Hae Rin!"

Min Jun out of nowhere appeared and pulled her into his arms. Hae Rin was shocked and the motorcycle pretended to pass away.

"How dare he want to rob in such a crowded situation" Min Jun cursed the man.

Hae Rin could feel something in her chest. Her heart was beating fast. Min Jun let go of the hug and looked at Hae Rin.

"Are you okay?" asked Min Jun.

Hae Rin winced and nodded.

"Why is your face red? Are you hot?" asked Min Jun again when he realized Hae Rin's face became red.

"No. I'm o-o-okay" replied Hae Rin and want to left Min Jun.

Min Jun weird with Hae Rin and only sees Hae Rin from behind.

"Wait, Hae Rin!"

Hae Rin stopped.

"About earlier. Ehem- " Min Jun stuttered and was embarrassed.

"I agree to be your boyfriend"
