Chapter 5 - Disappointed

After school, the weather was cloudy, and Hye Rin went home with her friends.

After she left her class, Seo Joon was seen waiting for her not far from Hye Rin's class.

Hye Rin thought Seo Joon was waiting for her, but it turned out he wasn't.

He was just waiting for his classmate, his best friend, Min Ho.

Even though Hye Rin had thought of a way to refuse him to go home with her, she was picked up by her father, who was waiting outside the school gate.

Hye Rin seemed not to care about Seo Joon and tried to avoid him.

But Seo Joon suddenly approached her, "Did your father pick you up from home?"

Hye Rin only answered him with a slightly grumpy nod.

Hoping that Seo Joon understood that she didn't want to be disturbed and close to Seo Joon.

The attitude that usually appeared when Seo Joon approached her suddenly changed drastically; for some reason, that day, Hye Rin seemed to be changing in judging Seo Joon.

Realizing Hye Rin's indifferent attitude towards him, he then moved away and tried not to make Hye Rin feel disturbed by his treatment.

"Be careful on the road, Hye Rin," said Seo Joon who then rejoined his friends.

Hye Rin only looked at him for a moment then she walked out of school with Min Ah and Chang Mi.

"What's wrong with you?"

Chang Mi who felt something had changed with Hye Rin, was curious about her cold attitude towards Seo Joon.

But that was not the answer Chang Mi got.

Hye Rin left him and walked quickly towards her father's car.

Chang Mi and Min Ah understood that Hye Rin might be having a mood swing either because of her period or because of something else.

Hye Rin was seen waving her hand to the two of them, then getting into her father's black sedan.

They just smiled in return waving to Hye Rin.

After arriving home.

Hye Rin was still feeling upset because of Seo Joon.

She went into her room and lay down on her soft bed.

While covering her face with a pillow and trying not to think about Seo Joon all day, Hye Rin tried to throw away everything about Seo Joon from her memory.

"All men are the same"

Ring.. Ring..

The house phone rang.

Hye Rin's mother picked up the phone.

"Hello, who do you need to talk to?"

Hye Rin's mother asked the caller.

"Hello, eomma, I'm the school janitor, I want to talk to Hye Rin. Is Hye Rin home?"

Hye Rin's mother frowned and was confused as to why the school official wanted to talk to her daughter.

Hye Rin…

Hye Rin..

Her mother shouted calling Hye Rin from the living room.

"Yes, eomma"

Hye Rin came out of her room and approached her mother who was holding the telephone receiver.

Hye Rin's mother gave the phone to Hye Rin.

"Who?"

Hye Rin said while whispering to her mother.

Hye Rin's mother shrugged her shoulders.

"Hello, who is this?"

A laugh was heard from behind the phone.

"Hye Rin, I put something in a red flower pot in your yard"

"After hanging up this phone, you can take it"

Then the phone went dead.

And Hye Rin was curious about what was kept in the rose pot that the caller meant.

Hye Rin walked out of the house to the front yard of her house.

Looking for something that was kept in the red rose pot.

A letter and a small gift box were seen on top of the rose pot.

Hye Rin took it and opened the letter.

"Hye Rin, I'm sorry if I meant to be indifferent to you at school. I just didn't want to make you feel uncomfortable with me. As my apology. Please accept this small gift, I hope you like it, Hye Rin. – Seo Joon"

Hye Rin smiled slightly reading the contents of the letter.

Unbeknownst to her mother, who was staring from inside the window of the house, she noticed Hye Rin, who looked like she was falling in love.

Hye Rin brought the gift in.

Seeing her mother, who had been watching her, made Hye Rin embarrassed and embarrassed.

Hye Rin just smiled happily and went into her room.

Seo Joon..

Seo Joon came to my house earlier..

With a happy feeling, Hye Rin opened the small gift.

The gift, wrapped in a pink ribbon, was opened by Hye Rin, and the contents of the gift were visible.

Bracelet..

So cute..

(Hye Rin wears a pink bracelet with the initials S and H in the middle of the beaded bracelet)

S which means Seo Joon's initials.

And H which means Hye Rin.

Does this mean that Seo Joon is trying to be my boyfriend?

Hye Rin was even happier thinking about it.

After receiving the letter and gift given by Seo Joon, Hye Rin felt guilty for being rude and indifferent to coming to school.

When Hye Rin was being made happy by Seo Joon.

Suddenly someone came to her house and wanted to meet her.

Hye Rin thought it was Seo Joon.

She immediately changed her clothes, combed her hair, and dressed up as neatly and beautifully as possible.

With a cheerful feeling, Hye Rin walked to the living room to meet her guest.

However, she had to be disappointed because her expectations were too high.

The guest who came was not Seo Joon but Bong Gu.

Bong Gu.

Bong Gu came from Daegu just to come to my house and meet me.

Because in Busan Bong Gu has no relatives or even friends, it means he came to Busan solely to meet Hye Rin.

With a disappointed expression, Hye Rin sat near Bong Gu.

Bong Gu, who was fascinated by Hye Rin's beauty, continued to stare at her with a happy feeling.

Indicating that his struggle to go to Busan to meet Hye Rin was not in vain.
