The bell rang indicating that school was over.
The students prepared to go home and some others continued their additional activities at school.
Hye Rin tidied up her books and put on her pink cardigan jacket.
Put on her bag and walked out of the classroom.
Towards the school gate, Seo Joon ran from behind and offered her to go home with him.
"Hye Rin, do you want to go home with me? I want to buy coffee at one of my favorite coffee shops"
The students who were walking out of school whispered to each other about Seo Joon and Hye Rin.
They seemed to see something impossible happen.
Some smiled kindly at Hye Rin and greeted her.
Hye Rin wanted to be able to go home on Seo Joon's motorbike and spend the rest of the time after school hanging out at the coffee shop that Seo Joon meant.
Even just by being invited to my aunt's shop, Hye Rin would like it.
As long as it was with Seo Joon.
Hye Rin with a confused expression, worried that her father would come to pick her up.
"Yes, I want to."
Hearing that, Seo Joon smiled; Hye Rin also smiled, looking at Seo Joo,n, who was happy to be able to invite her to go.
If Hye Rin's father had come to pick her up, he would have thought that Hye Rin would have gone home using public transportation.
Hye Rin and Seo Joon walked to where Seo Joon's motorbike was parked.
The custom black motorbike that he often used belonged to his older brother, Jae Min.
However, after his older brother got married and went with his wife to the United States until finally settling there, his beloved motorbike was finally inherited by his younger brother, Seo Joon.
The school strictly forbids students from bringing vehicles to school.
However, with that regulation and no parking space provided for students.
Seo Joon and his other friends chose to store their motorbikes at Aunt Ji Hyo's shop.
Finally, Hye Rin's wish to be able to enter Auntie's shop could come true.
In her mind, she understood why the students were very comfortable and at home there because, apart from the friendly shop owner, the atmosphere was cool, and the shop was always clean and fragrant.
Maintained and guarded every day by Aunt Jihyo.
Seo Joon met some friends from other schools who were hanging out there.
He greeted one person and introduced Hye Rin to them.
Hye Rin smiled warmly and shook hands with one of them.
Seo Joon and Hye Rin finally went to the coffee shop that Seo Joon had intended.
During the trip to the shop.
Hye Rin felt something she had never felt before when she was close to a man.
Especially with her ex, who was usually too protective, didn't treat Hye Rin well, and tended to be too jealous.
Seo Joon drove his motorbike at a speed that tended to be rather slow.
Taking Hye Rin on the back very carefully and wanting to make sure she was comfortable.
Finally, they arrived at Seo Joon's favorite coffee shop.
The shop was called Aleria.
It was named Aleria because the owner of the shop had a child named Aleria.
Hye Rin and Seo Joon entered the shop.
When they first opened the door, the aroma of coffee and bread that was typical of the entire room of the shop smelled.
Hmmm
(Hye Rin inhales the very fragrant and delicious aroma, making her mind clear again)
I like the smell in this shop.
Seo Joon walks towards the cashier and orders an Iced Americano Coffee and Vanilla Late for Hye Rin.
Hye Rin points to the glass display case lined with various shapes of bread inside.
It looks very tempting just by looking at the shape and color.
Starting from croissants, cupcakes, brownies, cheese cakes and various other cakes.
Hye Rin points to Waffles drizzled with caramel sauce.
It's always her second favorite cake option after choux pastry.
Hye Rin sits on one of the chairs while still looking around the shop which is very unique with its decoration.
Simple but elegant.
She said that, and she might come back here later.
No wonder Seo Joon likes this shop.
Seo Joon's taste is also good. ( Hye Rin said to herself )
Seo Joon and Hye Rin as a whole while enjoying their coffee, discussing all the things that come naturally to them.
Starting from hobbies, favorite places, and other things.
It was getting dark.
Seo Joon immediately took Hye Rin home.
Since then Hye Rin knew that Seo Joon had a different side when it came to friendship.
The image at school was famous for being naughty, mischievous and sometimes causing trouble.
Everything changed when he was with Hye Rin.
But she didn't want to be too confident with Seo Joon's attitude like that.
Maybe Seo Joon didn't just approach her.
Maybe he was like this to women who were close to him, not just Hye Rin.
Hye Rin got off her motorbike and Seo Joon went into Hye Rin's house to ask permission to take Hye Rin to play after school without giving any news.
"Eomma, there's a guest who wants to be introduced"
Hye Rin was happy to be able to introduce Seo Joon to her mother.
It wasn't Hye Rin's mother who came to meet Seo Joon but her father.
With a face that was always serious and firm because he was a police officer.
But behind all that, Hye Rin's father was a person who liked to joke.
"Oh, so this is taking my child away without permission?"
With an angry face trying to see Seo Joon's reaction.
Hye Rin's father looked into his eyes.
But instead of being afraid, Seo Joon laughed, shook Hye Rin's father's hand, and apologized to him.
"Appa, I'm sorry I took Hye Rin to play"
Seo Joon bowed his body as a sign of respect to Hye Rin's father.
