Chapter 46 - Chapter 43

"Let's put this in your head." Yeonjun took a brown colored woolen scarf and wrapped it on Soobin's head.

"Wow! You look very cute!" Yeonjun grinned, staring at Soobin.

"You should buy it. I think it'd look great on you." Soobin picked a white colored woolen panda hat.

"Oh! This is cute! I love pandas!" Yeonjun was so excited that he took the cap and put it on. He was looking so cute that it made Soobin giggle.

"Haha! I think it suits me, right?" Yeonjun laughed while stomping cutely out of excitement.

"Yeah!" Soobin pressed his lips as he tried not to smile too much though it was hard for him.

"Let's explore the world now! Woohoo!" Yeonjun grabbed Soobin's hand and ran outside of the shop. Seeing him this happy, Soobin couldn't help but feel delighted. They stopped running when they reached near a food stall. And noticing the food, both of them remembered they were hungry. They looked at each other and burst out laughing since they forgot that their main purpose was to eat. Yeonjun took churros and skewers. Soobin also chose churros and they started eating as soon as they got them. Both of them were walking through the road while eating.

"I always wanted to come here. But there was nobody who'd accompany me. So, I thought it might be the perfect idea to take you with me today." Yeonjun said while chewing the skewers. His both hands were filled with the food he was holding.

"Do you wanna see the animals first or go for a ride first?" Yeonjun asked though he couldn't wait to meet the panda anymore.

"Let's go see the animals first." Soobin replied while eating.

"Oh, wait! I'mma go and buy drinks for us first. Would iced Americano be fine for you?" Yeonjun asked.

"Hm." Soobin nodded as his mouth was filled with food.

"Wait for me here!" Saying that, Yeonjun ran to buy the drinks.

While Soobin was waiting, he saw a familiar figure standing a little far from him. He didn't want to take another glance, but he still wanted to be sure if he was making a mistake or not. But when he took another look at the girl, he noticed she was coming towards him. And when she was walking towards him, he finally noticed and recognized who it was.

"Sunbae! What are you doing here?" Eunchae asked smilingly.

"I came here with one of my friends. You're also with your friends I guess?" Soobin replied as well as asked.

"No, I'm here with my teacher." She giggled while replying.

"Teacher? Is that person from our school?" Soobin was a little bit worried, but curious too.

"Nope! The tutor I mentioned before." She was swaying her body while talking with Soobin as if she was the happiest person in the world.

"O! Is he treating you nice? I mean, you said your parents would fire him. Haven't they?" Soobin asked. His whole face was covered with curiosity.

"They fired him. He's my new tutor now. I've told you before that they'd hire a new one for me. Although he's also a little harsh, he treats me nice as long as I finish my homework. And you know what? It's our cheat day today! He said he'd take me anywhere if I was done with my homeworks. I didn't know I'd meet you here. It's been a long time since I've met you. How've you been? Won't you come to school anymore since you're done with your exams as well?" Eunchae finally stopped talking, staring at Soobin curiously.

"I'm fine! And yeah! Why should I go to school again? Hahaha! I just finished my exams and am waiting for the results. But, you know what? You shouldn't come to travel with an unknown person like this." Soobin started giving advice since he was worried for Eunchae.

"What can I do? My parents are always busy and they don't have time for me. And I don't have any friends whom I can travel with. However,vyou don't have to worry. He's a nice guy. I don't think it'd be harmful to hang out with him." Eunchae said while swinging her one foot in the air.

"Still! You…fine! Just be careful, hm?" Soobin sighed, giving a very fake smile.

"I will! You know I'm a strong girl!" Eunchae showed her arms as if she had muscly arms.

"Yeah, yeah! I know!" Soobin laughed as he found her cute. In the meantime, Yeonjun came back with two iced Americano and seeing Soobin talking and smiling at a girl, he felt a little down. He sighed and came towards them.

"Hi! I'm Yeonjun. Soobin's friend." Yeonjun smiled though he wasn't happy to see her at all.

"Hi! I'm Eunchae. His junior. Nice to meet you." She bowed and greeted.

"Nice to meet you too. Want an Americano?" Yeonjun asked since he had two coffees with him.

"No, thanks! My teacher is buying food and drinks for me." She said and pointed at the food stall where her teacher was buying food. Both of them looked at him. Yeonjun remembered he saw the man buying some skewers and mocha when he ordered the Americanos. Soobin also looked at him, but he didn't know why he was feeling uncomfortable after seeing the guy's back all of a sudden.

"Then, we'll excuse ourselves." Yeonjun said with a big smile and started walking. Soobin followed him without taking a look at Eunchae.

"You're quite close with her." Yeonjun said with a gloomy voice though he didn't mean to do that.

"No-no! Not at all! It's just, she's a real extrovert, you know? I talked with her several times and nothing more than that. I'm not close with her as you're thinking." Soobin wanted to clarify.

"It's okay to be close with others. You can't spend your life lonely, right?" Yeonjun looked at Soobin while walking and simpered.

"Probably." Soobin sighed and kept walking slowly.

"Let's go to ride something first." Yeonjun started running suddenly and Soobin was flabbergasted for a while. Though he couldn't understand what he should do, he also started running to keep up with Yeonjun. Both of them stopped when they reached near the ferris wheel. Yeonjun was huffing as he was tired of all the running. But when he looked at Soobin, he saw he was also breathing very heavily. His face turned red as he got sweaty all over. Although he was huffing, he looked very sexy and it was hard for him to resist himself. Soobin looked at Yeonjun as well and he burst out laughing out of the blue. Seeing him, Yeonjun also started laughing as it was quite fun for them. After a while when they were stable, both of them felt shy without any reason.

"I'll go and buy tickets. Wait for me here." Yeonjun said to break the awkwardness and rushed to the ticket counter.

"Um." Soobin nodded and took a sip from the drinks he was holding. He felt very happy right at that moment. But when Yeonjun left him alone to buy tickets, his mind didn't let him be at peace anymore. Does he deserve this happiness? What if Yeonjun knows what had happened to him? Or what he was? He likes him. Then, won't his like turned into hate if he gets to know about him? What'd he do if that happens someday?

"Let's go!" Soobin was startled when Yeonjun touched him lightly and told him to follow him.

"So, who was it?" the guy came to Eunchae with some food and beverage.

"Oh, he's just a senior from my school." Eunchae replied.

"Ah! Which year?" He asked.

"He just graduated." She replied and took the food from his hand.

"Oh. What's his plan next?" He asked and stared at Soobin who was laughing with a man he never saw before.

"He said he'd stop studying." She replied.

"Why?" He kept gawking at him for afar and took a sip from his drink.

"I don't know the reason clearly." Eunchae replied and took a bite from her stick food.

"Aren't you close with him? I saw you talking very comfortably earlier." he asked and glanced at her to see her reaction.

"I'm not sure. But he adores me very much." she replied while chewing.

"Ah, I see!" Mr. X smirked as if he was very close to his prey.
