Felix walked to the cupboard and took out a box hidden inside. He opened the box, stared at those two rings which he set together from a quite long time. Then he took out the thread which he was wearing over neck. The thread had two same rings tied over it. He took out another box from drawer. And taking out rings from that thread he started carefully packing them in that box. After looking at both the sets of rings he sat there thinking about something.
Taking out those two rings again which he set just now, he tied them in thread and put it on. Taking that box to hide it again where it was hidden he sat on table. Unable to do his works.
After about 3 PM there comes the knock at Felix's door. Someone was calling for him.
"Yong Bok !" Felix could hear it was Hyunjin.
Felix locked the door before coming in. Felix again slept laying his head over table. And Hyunjin's voice woke him up.
He wasn't feeling good. Not about his health it was, but he was confused with something. It was all about his first love.
He was talking with Han from a week now! Han let him feel various of emotions. Felix is very emotional person as he is, but Han helped him understand what those emotions trully means. And one of it was Love. He was not knowing what love is. But Han let him get to know what those feelings were, and now he couldn't believe in what he felt. To him love was so confusing, he had to think now before doing anything. He was so confused that he could not even concentrate in studies.
Hearing those knocks, He walked to the door. Hiding his neck thread he opened the door.
"Were you sleeping?" Barging in as Felix opened the door asked Hyunjin.
"Ah, I don't know but I slept again!" Felix laughed explaining. Followed by Hyunjin, came Seungmin.
He looked out, "Where's Yoona?" Asked Felix.
"Bong called her out." Hyunjin replied.
"Ahn was actually had date with Seungmin but Seungmin left the house early to avoid her!" Hyunjin laughed.
"Shut up Hyunjin!" Said Seungmin.
"So Ahn and Bong are studying together and they called Yoona to join!" Said Hyunjin.
"So does they know Seungmin is here?" Asked Felix.
"No, we said Yoona not to tell!" Said Seungmin.
"Or Ahn will come here for the date again!" Laughed Hyunjin.
"It wasn't a date you idiot. She just asked to meet!" Said Seungmin.
"Yes! Every meeting is a date!" Hyunjin was teasing him.
Seungmin didn't wanted to be with Ahn today but she forced him about this since yesterday's hangout. He refused but she still kept asking and then, set the time to meet. So he had no other idea than to avoid her so that he can have peaceful moments.
"Did you complete your assignment?" Asked Hyunjin in teasing tone to Felix. On which Felix laughed.
Yoona went to Ahn's house where Bong and Chaewon were waiting. Chaewon welcomed her with big smile and took her to her room. Where the books were already spread.
"Woah!" Said Yoona. "You guys were studying these much?"
"It's Bong! She says she can't concentrate if there's no books laying around!" Laughed Chaewon.
She sat there while Chaewon bought Juice and snacks for her. But she already ate much.
"Won-ah! Explain me this!" Asked Bong.
And Chaewon moved toward her. Yoona kept staring at Bong as she called Chaewon, Won-ah. She reminded it of Seungmin. Chaewon noticed it and asked about what happened.
Shaking her head Yoona said, "Bong calls you Won-ah it sound so cute!" She smiled.
"Um, most of them calls me Ahn! But close one Won-ah!" She laughed. "But you still call me Chaewon!"
"Ah, it's that, I still don't feel to call you by that name!" Said Yoona in her own mind.
"But you too don't call me Yoona, you always say Seoyoon." Said Yoona this time louder.
"It's because you call me by name!" Said Ahn. "Now if that's the case I'll call you Yoona and you will call me Won-Ha ok!" Saying this she gestured to study.
With Ahn explaining some topics they started studying.
"Ahn, you didn't called Seungmin?" Asked Bong breaking their concentration..
"Actually, "taking a pause Ahn said.
"I did called him, when we were there yesterday, I asked him, many times! But he didn't responded! He just once said he don't want to come! And then when I tried calling him today, he ain't answering either!" Replied Ahn. Showing how disappointed she was.
"Did you two fight?" Asked Yoona.
"Why would we fight?" Asked Ahn.
"No, I mean why is he not answering calls, that's what I meant by it." Said Yoona.
"Ah," giving a sigh, "he does this most of the time! I don't know why!" Answered Ahn.
"Just a boyfriend thing!" Replied Bong with teasing tone and teasing Ahn for it. Yoona laughed a little. Not knowing exactly what she meant.
"Yoona, what about your boyfriend?" Asked Bong.
"My boyfriend?" Asked Yoona.
"Um, does he accepts the call?" Asked Bong.
Yoona laughed, "I don't even have a boyfriend!" Said Yoona.
"Oh come on! We all know, there's something going on between you and Hyunjin?" Laughed Bong and Ahn joined too.
"No,!" In little high voice Yoona said.
"He is my best friend and I can't really accept you talking like that about him!"
"Ummm, friend who is boy!" Said Bong teasing her.
Yoona got little angry over it saying, "you can't actually say that"
"Then try calling him, if he ignores you he likes you!" Bong said.
"What rubbish!" Yoona said angrily. "If he won't accept it, he might be busy. Or he don't want to reply for a moment. Why you have to think like that!" Knowing that Hyunjin will answer in first go. She still refused.
"Ah, cool down cool down Yoona! Why you getting angry for!" Said Chaewon, Getting close to Yoona.
Yoona who was already having some bad mood because of Seungmin's scolding, and then her mom telling Felix that she was angry over him. Letting her secret spell out.
"Ah, ah! I got it!" Said Bong still laughing.
"I won't tease for it. But really try calling Hyunjin! I want to see if he picks up!" Said Bong.
"Why would I call him for out of nowhere?" Asked Yoona.
"Tell him you was missing him!" Said Bong laughing.
"Why would I miss him I was just....!" She was about to say when she stopped talking looking at her.
"What?" Asked Bong and, Chaewon too looking at her just 'what?'
"Anyways, we are best friends so I don't care what you are talking about. Let's study!" Grabbing a book Yoona tried to bury down the topic.
And they again got engaged with studies. It started to get dark now. Yoona checked on the phone. It was already past 6. And she already got text from her mother to come back early.
"It's 6:13 already!" Said Yoona.
"I've to go back!"
"Oh is it already?" Won checked the phone.
"Why don't you stay for little. Let's dine together and then you can leave!" Said Ahn.
"Ah, no no it's fine!" Said Yoona. While Bong seemed to love the idea to stay.
"It won't take that much time!" Said Ahn.
"I really can't. I hate when it gets dark!" Said Yoona.
"Do you really?" Asked Bong.
"That's why you leave early right?" Added bong. "I never knew until you told me!"
"Um, I won't mind you to knowing that!" Said Yoona smiling.
"Shall I drop you?" Asked Ahn .
"Oh, no please don't! I'll get worry if I make you come back in dark!" Yoona laughed packing her stuff.
"Why don't you call someone to pick you then?" Asked Bong.
"Ah! I don't want to give any more work to my mom. And Dad will as always come home late!" She laughed.
"No, that boy! Living in upstairs!" Said Bong.
"Oh, Felix! No he had his own works !" Replied Yoona.
"Let ask him first! Ask him to pick you up at 7:30!" Said Bong.
"I don't want to! It will be extraa work for him!"replied Yoona.
"Why you have to think for him too!" Said Bong.
"Ask him if he says yes, then stay if he says no then I'll leave with you too, dropping you first!" Said Bong.
Looking outside it's getting already dark, Yoona finally thought of calling Felix.
She dialed the number.
"Hello!" Replied the person but it wasn't Felix.
"Where's Felix?" Asked Yoona.
"Oh he and Hyunjin are having another round of game!" Replied Seungmin.
"Another?" Asked Yoona getting amazed.
Bong and Chaewon looked at her asking what happened.
Seungmin laughed and asked her,
"Why you called for?"
"Ah, I was saying! It's getting dark so Ahn asked me to have dinner together. And it will take time so can Felix come to pick me up?" Said Yoona hesitately.
Trying best not to say Seungmin's name as Seungmin was hidden princess here.
"Ah, you will eat with them!" In disappointed tone. "I was waiting for you hoping we will eat together!" Him saying this in a flirty tone made Yoona blush.
Bong and Chaewon looked at her with suspicious eyes.
"But it's ok! We already had lunch together so it's ok, I'll allow you!" Said Seungmin.
"Hey! Ki..." As she was about to say she stuffed it in her mouth again.
"Um, I get it! Then tell him to come by 8 PM then. I'll text him her adress!" Said Yoona.
"Ah don't, I know her adress. So don't worry. Enjoy your food and date too!" Said Seungmin with mocking tone.
"I get it! Make sure to tell mom about it!" Saying it Yoona cut the call.
"Who was it?" Asked Bong.
"Who what, Felix was it!" Replied Yoona.
"No it looked like you were talking to another person. Not Felix!" Said Bong.
"It's not like that. It, let it be!" Said Yoona standing up.
"Shall we go to help in kitchen?" Asked Yoona.
"Ah, don't! No need!" Said Ahn getting up.
"You guys wait here! It won't take time!" Said Ahn leaving the room.
"but you guys just wait here!" She made sure they listen to her.
"Ya, Yoona-yah!" Said Bong clinging to her.
"Tell me who was the person over call?" Asked Bong.
"I told you it was Felix!" Said Yoona taking out her book again to study.
"No!" With complaining tone Bong said.
"It wasn't Felix. I know how you talk with Felix. You have talked to him in front of me alot. This person was someone else!" Said Bong getting close to her.
"Who was it? Who was it?" Asked Bong.
Yoona sat quite, letting her tease. As she won't get it until she answer, and she won't answer them.
"Ok, so just tell me do you like that person?" Asked Bong.
Yoona looked at her with 'does that make sense?' look.
"What, either the person love you or you love them. You were blushing as if the person was flirting! Who was it?" Bong first in irritated tone and then in teasing tone started asking her.
"Ah, I told you no one!" Yoona answered.
"Let me read this for whole!" Replied Yoona.
Bong sat quite for a while seeing Yoona won't answer.
Bong was thinking about thousands of idea how should she make Yoona talk about that person.
And in about half an hour, Ahn asked them to follow. They followed her quietly as Bong already told once Yoona, that Mrs. Ahn is a little strict lady. And that was the reason Yoona and Bong didn't forced to help in kitchen.
The dinner was normal. Even if they thought they were only going to eat salad today. They can't say no to Ahn's sweet invitation. But it was normal dinner. Mrs. Ahn was sitting there already serving the dishes.
Bong and Yoona greeted her and sat their politely. The atmosphere there was little heavy. They felt as if they were getting watched on every step. They had to dine finely to make Mrs. Ahn get impressed a little.
"Please enjoy your food!" Said Mrs. Ahn with smile. Which seemed a little foreceful.
"I thought you were going to call Seungmin today!" Laughed Mrs. Ahn.
"I called him, but he won't pick up my calls!" Answered Chaewon.
"Um, Mrs. Kim answered the call earlier. She said he left with Hyunjin. She don't know where but they will be studying they said!" Answered Mrs. Ahn.
Yoona coughed a little. As she knew where is Seungmin.
"What happened?" Asked Mrs. Ahn looking at Yoona.
Yoona smiled, "No, it's little funny that a top student in our class runs away from study schedule!" Yoona laughed.
"If he is with Hyunjin, he isn't studying I tell you!" Bong said letting that stillness in talks blurr away.
Yoona gestured to be polite. And Bong again return to the quite girl.
"Um, but Mrs. Kim don't seem to mind he being with Hyunjin!" Said mrs. ahn.
"I really wished you two to study together and Both of you to give another competition to each other!" Laughed Mrs. Ahn.
A joke that both of them couldn't understand. As they were having some talks Yoona's phone rang. She looked at phone and the number was written as ,"Mr. Prince!" Bong saw it.
She picked up the call and showed a sign of getting amazed.
"What, you already here?" Answered Yoona.
She looked at time. "It isn't 8PM!"
She somehow irritated but still maintaining her voice answered. It was still 7:20PM.
"Why you came so early?" She asked.
"Ok, wait there 10 minutes!" She replied.
"Ok, so 5! 5 mins!??" She asked forcing him.
"Ok! Ok ok! I'm! Yes!" She replied. Everyone looked at her.
"I've to go! Thank you for the food Mrs. Ahn. And thank you for having me in you House! Thank you Ahn for inviting me!" She bowed and ran to Ahn's room to take her books. And then ran toward dining table again.
"Thank you so much!" Bowing again she ran outside not making the door sound neither of footsteps. Which made Mrs. ahn impressed over her a little.
She ran out of gate and it was so dark out there. She looked left and right and called on that number again.
"Where are you?" Asked she.
"Wait!" Replying to her that a person on motorcycle came to her.
"Here!" Giving a helmet he asked her to sit.
"It is 8Pm?" Asked Yoona not accepting that helmet.
The person started help Yoona to wear the helmet.
"Is it time to go home?" Asked the person.
"Why are you being like this seriously!" In irritating tone Yoona replied.
"Why, what?" Asked the person.
Yoona was irritated so much today that, she seem as if she will cry.
"Hey, hey! Hey!" In worrying voice the person took out her helmet. He layed his hand over her face with rubbing her cheeks.
"Are you going to cry?" Asked he.
This was the first time ever Seungmin touched her and she didn't flinched back. As it was same always, he would try to touch her and she would walk back not letting him touch her. But, as she seemed so much irritated that she didn't mind him touching her. Seungmin was glad for a moment that he seemed not to hide his smile from her.
Removing his hands from her cheeks she shouted. "Why would I?"
She took that helmet from his hand and sat quietly. The person started the motorcycle and left the place to her home.
"Yoona!" Said Seungmin
"Hey, Yoona!" Said He again.
"Ya, Yoona-Yah!" Seungmin who was happy that he was able to touch her. And Yoona let him touch her for the first time.
"What is it!" In somehow irritated tone Yoona replied.
"Why you mad for now!" Asked he.
"Why, you ask Why?" Yoona replied.
"You first scolded me! Then you say sorry by irritating me! Then you don't tell why you were angry for! And then I tell you to let Felix come by 8Pm you came half hour early and I've to leave from there not eating full." Complaining like a child Yoona somehow yelled at him.
Seungmin laughed.
"Why, didn't you ate already?" Seungmin asked.
"Don't talk to me!" Yoona said.
Seungmin took a wrong turn in way half. Not to Yoona's house but somewhere else.
At Felix's room when Felix's phone rang.
"Who's it?" Felix asked controlling the game panel and looking at Seungmin who was sitting near phone.
"'Nyang~' it says!" Said Seungmin.
"Ah, it's Yoona! Can you answer the call!" Said Felix.
Saying nothing Seungmin picked up the phone.
He talked with Yoona and then cut the call.
"What did she said!" Coming toward Seungmin Felix asked.
"She will be late and will dine with them!" Said Seungmin.
"Do I have to pick her up?" Asked Felix.
"Ah, no! She will be here by 9PM I guess!" Answered Seungmin.
"But is someone dropping her or not!" Asked Felix in worry.
"She hate nights. And!" He laughed ,"She messes up the ways wherever she is going in nights!" Laughed Felix.
"Does she?" Asked Seungmin.
"Yes, that's why when there was function at your school. I asked Hyunjin to drop her!" Said Felix excitedly.
"Right Hyunjin?" Asked Felix.
"Whatever you say Yongbok!" Screamed Hyunjin who was engaged in game.
And about 7PM Seungmin asked Hyunjin if he is coming with him.
"Are you or not?" Asked Seungmin getting angry.
"Ah ok ok!" Finally leaving his PC he stood up.
"You should wait. Let's have dinner then you can go!" Said Felix.
"Ah no no! I'm already feeling stuffed!" Said Seungmin.
He looked at Hyunjin. He hugging Felix started to whine.
"I don't feel like leaving Yongbok! Why I have to I don't want to."
Seungmin looked at him with ' I'm done with you!' eyes.
"So you are staying here, right?" Asked Seungmin.
"What, am I allowed to!" Hyunjin asked withe excited tone.
"What, are you idiot Hyunjin!" Seungmin yelled at him.
"Let's go!" He pulled him grabbing his hand.
Yong bok went downstairs to say Goodbye in between who wished them to stay there that He won't mind. And Mrs. Eun too followed them saying you should have dinned with us. But they left. Seungmin dropped Hyunjin at his house.
"Can I take your motorcycle and give back tomorrow?" Asked Seungmin.
"You are going for a date aren't you! But you have to ruin my mood for that. And you preferred ruining my mood Seungmin!" Hyunjin getting a little angry said.
"What got into you. We were there for a whole day. You still wanted to stay?" Asked Seungmin.
"I don't want to be at home!" Said Hyunjin. His sadness was visible.
But patting Seungmin's head Hyunjin said, "No worries I'll get that chance very soon!" And giving a smile he left.
Seungmin felt little sad for it. But then he left.
Stopping his bike at Ahn's house he called Yoona. And told her to come here fast. And then told her that she can't tell Ahn that he is here. And agreeing to that Yoona left in hurry.
"Yoona!" He called again as Yoona was sitting quite for long time.
"Are you looking at road?" He asked.
"My eyes aren't close!" She replied.
"But still you can't see!" He laughed.
"Are you mocking me Kim Seungmin!" A little offended Yoona answered.
He stopped the bike and told her to get off. Yoona looked confused. He took her helmet and told her to follow him. He walked her through various of stalls asking her everything.
Yoona refused as she didn't wanted to. But looking at those open street stalls she started to get little hungry. She asks to stop by anything Seungmin wanted to eat.
Devilish Seungmin decided the menu. The spicy tteokkboki. Giving an order he ran to the wending machine nearby and already bought milkshake and water bottle. And then he came to Yoona.
Yoona wasn't there. He saw she was looking at baby over the other side of street. And following to talk to him, on the way. She was walking on road without any conciousness. When a bike was about to pass by, he pulled her with her coller, looking her again angrily.
"What are you doing Yoona!" He said.
"Ah sorry!" She looked at him with blankness.
Not blinking fora moment Yoona kept staring at him. As if she wants to look at him endlessly. She was scared for sure. But still her face looked calmed as sea. The clouds lingering over her head of Joy disappeared and the blankness that makes Seungmin uncomfortable returned.
And for unknown reason Seungmin felt as if, he wants that blankness more. He walked toward her. Looking into her eyes. Waiting for her to blink them first. And her eyes keep getting bigger as he walks toward her. He sees them with love and, and her clouds with no thoughts.
As if Seungmin was playing mischievous teasing her getting close to her. Or as if he was serious being like this wanting to embrace her with those empty thoughts fr him. He walked more closer and closer to her.
But then he made himself stay there. He broked the flow, made her sea eyes go back again. And walked back. Shaking his head as if, some thoughts left his mind he looked at Yoona.
"Be responsible!" He said to her, "for my state of mind!" In his mind.
It was becoming hard for him to stay calm day by day! Especially when, Yoona breaks the barriers. She was cute first, when she was still unknown. Even if they became friend they stil had those unexplained barries that Yoona put in front of new people. But now as she gets more close to him, Not clingy but still!
Allowing him to be by her side. Not minding his words. Being talkative. Acts childish. He have seen her talking like adults in class, but this side of her, which she hides most of the time was also now normal to him too. He first saw this side of her when they went for vacation.
He always had an idea about it, from Hyunjin who talked alot about how Yoona actually is. Not the one everyone knows but the one everyone should definitely know.
Reaching to the stall, he offered her a plate of tteokkboki . Seungmin saw her eating it carefully, trying not to spoil and try to eat it without getting messed up. He did bought the most spicy tteokkboki.
And now Yoona was suffering yet enjoying.
With first bite she already felt it, as i was so spicy! Yet she loved to eat. Not only one she ate and her face was red. Her eyes tearing up with red nose and red ears.
Seungmin laughed looking at her.
Yoona took out some tissues and wiped out her tears. Seungmin took one of them and holding her face with one hand helped her to wipe them softly as Yoona was doing it harshly, trying not to show and doing it in hurry.
"Idiot you are!" Seungmin laughed as he teased her.
"You can say no, you know!" He said wiping the sause over her lips.
"But this tastes good!" Answered Yoona.
Seungmin still was holding her face cupping her cheeks. His big hands covering her cheeks easily, holding onto her chin that his fingers could run over her cheeks without any hesitation. He looked at her soft lips wiping the spicy sauce, which were red as cherries. Which made him to come back to senses again.
But he was glad, to touch her. That he forgot to let her go even if she was ok now.
Looking at him. And his smiley face. Yoona did felt butterflies in her stomach. But what else should she do. She remembers when Changbin too have some crumbs over his lips he helps him too. Is he that kind!
And she was regretting now, for not letting him get close enough early. 'Was Seungmin this close to me? Was Seungmin this kind to me? Is he to everyone?
I wish he would not! But then if he wasn't like this I might have not experienced the moment I'm having now!' Yoona heart spoke a lot in moment. And her eyes looking at Seungmin.
Looking at Yoona, who was staring at him Seungmin asked,
"What are you looking at" still cupping her face.
Her face was so small. Seungmin's fingers lengthed to her cheeks. He measured it as if he needed, from ear to ear. From his last finger to thumb. Her face that would completely get covered up with his one hand.
Yoona shook his head which was still in his hand.
Patting her head he said, "eat then what you want!"
Yoona took another bite of it. And the result was same. Seungmin took out another tissue cleaning her tears up.
"You are not eating any another bite!" He somehow yelled at her.
"Can you make it less spicy!" Asking the stall owner he took that serving of her for himself.
Yoona looked at him who's eyes were still red.
"No, you're not!" Said Seungmin.
With another lovely rub over her cheek to make her feel good, He handed over a bottle of water and milk shake to her. She enjoyed it. Finishing it, he took her to walk there for few minutes. After roaming for few minutes Seungmin took her to sweet shop.
He asked her if she wants cake. But having full stomach she asks to have a pudding as treat.
"Should I get more angry over you, to get this type of treat every day?" Asked Yoona who was thinking about it from long time.
"So, you think I'm treating you because you got angry over me?" Asked Seungmin looking at her.
Taking a spoonful bite of pudding she nodded yes.
"It's not that!" Laughed Seungmin looking at her adorably.
"It is indeed!" Said Yoona. "That time too, you gave me chocolate knowingI was mad!" Yoona answered.
As if Seungmin got reminded of it. He clicked his toung. "It's not like that!" He laughed. "If you want me to, I'll do this everyday!" Yoona said nothing. Busy with her pudding.
Sitting ove table resting his head over his hand he asked,
"So, if that's the case! Shall I take it as you apologised me?"
"See!" Yoona laughed. "You treated me so that I won't be mad at you!" She looked at him.
"Even if I tell you it wasn't. You won't trust me !" Seungmin sat back.
"Ok! Ok! Kim Seungmin you are pardened!" Said Yoona enjoying her pudding.
"Really?" Asked Seungmin listening to her mocking tone.
Yoona nodded in answer.
"Not for today but for which you are mad at me from few days?" Asked Seungmin looking at her with apeal.
Yoona looked at him with confusing eyes. Seungmin looked at her. And he understood she won't tell him yet. And she haven't accepted it as an apology for that.
He in few more minutes after showing her that area, he dropped her in front of her house.
Taking helmet from her hand he said, "Don't stay awake till late. You have studied alot already. Take a good nap so you can perform tomorrow well! Okay?"
Yoona nodded. And another a good pat om her head with ruffling her hair came up.
She didn't said anything. But just laughed.
"Good night!" Said Seungmin in hope to get reply. But Yoona just nodded.
She was happy. And overly satisfied with what happened.
Did Seungmin just took her on date. Did he patter her hair did he touched his face. Did he pulled her on road. Did he walked toward her with those eyes. Did everything happened was real. Or is she dreaming. She went inside with all red face and her mind trying to process everything.
"You back?" Asked Yong Bok who was sitting with her mom and dad.
"You still here?" Asked Yoona
"Ah I'm taking tomorrow's leave! I don't feel like going tomorrow!" Answered Felix.
"How many days it has been our family reunited!", said Mr. Eun
"We all gets here you are the only one who are busy!" Said Mrs. Eun not getting Mr. Eun was just teasing.
"Did you ate dinner?" Asked Mrs. Eun.
"Yes I had!" Running to her room Yoona said.
"I'm sleeping I'll wake up tomorrow to study good night!" And she slammed the door as she went inside.
After getting refreshed as she was about to sleep there came the Kno on the door. She went to check.
"Can I sleep with you?" Asked Felix having his cushion, body pillow and blanket with him.
Nodding yes with big smiled Yoona called him inside.
