But not caring about the atmosphere Dong-Hoon was really happy. On the other hand, Se-Young was biting her lips and trying to stop herself from blushing, not only her heart but her mind was a mess as well.
'Yoon-Hwa, you better save yourself from me.' she was yelling internally, blaming Yoon-Hwa for stuffing her mind with weird stuff.
...
Parking the car in front of the river both Yoo-Na and Ji-Hoon were enjoying the view sitting onto the hood of the car alone since Yoo-Na had scared the chauffeur away for the time being.
From time-to-time, Yoo-Na looked at Ji-Hoon feeling like she was living a dream. “Is not it amazing?” she sniffed the calm air deeply filling her lungs with coldness.
“It is. You know it is my first time.” Ji-Hoon said smiling at the view in front.
“What? To be on a date.” Yoo-Na asked with sparkling eyes.
“Uh, that too but I am talking about enjoying the scenery like this. I mean I have been to many beautiful places in my life but it never felt this way, maybe it is because we ditched the event just now, I literally can't believe I did that.” he could not help but chuckle at the thought of ditching something that was a part of his pretty-perfect-imagine-life and his deep manly chuckles gave her goosebumps as she found his genuine smile more attractive than the fake tight-lipped one, he always gave her.
“And why so?” she asked being curious while still being mesmerized by his visuals and charms. “Because I never knew how to enjoy things, maybe your company is the reason I am feeling this way.” he smiled looking at her and just right there, Yoo-Na was tranced into his thick mesmerizing monolid eyes.
“Yoo-Na.” he called getting her back into reality.
Gulping down the saliva, she hummed in response. “I actually wanted to ask why do you like me?” he asked flashing another heart-throbbing smile and like words were stuck into her throat she could not utter a single word but still, she had to answer him and clearing her throat she tried to muster up her words.
"Actually, I was just attracted to you because of your aura, you have that really appealing magnetism and charism in you that I could not keep myself from approaching you but things have changed, you can say that I like you know because I am getting to know you more. I started to like every gesture of yours, like when you clench your jaw and raise your left eyebrow when you concentrate on your work or when your cute dimples appear when you smile or when you sometimes get red when I am trying to flirt with you, I like how you annoy me with your stupid reasonings and I like how you care about your brothers, I just like every single thing about you and there is seriously nothing in you which I might not like or which does not attract me.” she was smiling like an idiot and kept blabbering about why was he so likable.
Ji-Hoon smiled looking at her being silly for the second time in front of him. He inhaled a deep breath never feeling such emotions in his life before. “Yoo-Na.” he said getting her attention who was still in her own world stating certain facts.
She turned her head towards him. “Let’s try this.” not understanding what he wanted to say she frowned her eyebrows. “Let’s try dating, being in a relationship.” Yoo-Na was dumbfounded at the sudden offer.
“Wait... What?” these words left her mouth not believing her ears.
“Let’s try....” she cut him off.
“I heard that but why? I mean I would be honored to be your girlfriend but why so suddenly... I really can’t get it. Do you... like me?” she asked hesitantly. Ji-Hoon was really not expecting this question from her and those two kept looking at each other finding their own answers in each other's eyes.
...
Ji-Hoon came back home with a red flushed face, the house was quiet so he thought everyone was already deep in their sleep and he was about to go upstairs to his room but the light of the lounge suddenly opened and he got startled.
Turning his gaze to his right he saw Dong-Hoon sitting on the sofa smiling evilly at him. “Where were you till now after suddenly vanishing from the event with your FRIEND.” he smirked and pressed onto the word friend, trying to tease the younger one.
“We were just getting some fresh air.” Ji-Hoon awkwardly laughed.
“Then why your face looks like a tomato right now? Spill the beans Shim Ji-Hoon.” Dong-Hoon asked narrowing his eyebrows, determined to get the truth out of his brother.
Ji-Hoon sighed and went towards him and sat down beside him on the sofa. “It would be just between us.” Ji-Hoon warned him.
Dong-Hoon placed one hand on his heart and lifted the other with only three fingers unfolded in the air. “Promise.”
“Actually...”
~Flashback~
He was quiet for a good few seconds. “I... I will not say that I like you but I feel like dating you would not be so bad. You are not an unreasonable person and I have seen your love for your work and plus...” Yoo-Na did not know what to feel, should she be happy that she was getting a chance with him or sad that this guy in front of her was just telling her reasons for them to date.
She again cut him off. “So, you want to date because you think it is a good idea and you are giving silly reasons for that to me.” Ji-Hoon saw disappointment in her eyes and voice.
She took his hands in hers and continued, “Although I like you from the bottom of my heart but I don’t want things to be like that. Remember when I asked you last time why do you not like me and you said we are not compatible. You know what you are trying to do now. You are trying to put me into the compatibility test. If things work out then fine if not then you might not get affected but I really like you and it will greatly affect me.” hearing that Ji-Hoon felt guilty, he thought that he made a stupid decision for the second time in his life, the first was when he fought with his brothers.
