Chereads / The Eventful life of Yerin / Chapter 3 - Episode 3

Chapter 3 - Episode 3

Yerin would walk down the streets, finally reaching the bus stop just as she was about to miss it a mysterious man pulled her into the bus, but not in an inappropriate way. He just pulled her towards the bus, no problem. But Yerin still felt a flutter. His hand was warm and soft, she looked up and saw... a boy. It looked like her tinder date, she just thought it was a coincidence. And thanked the man.

Yerin: Oh uh thank you. I would've missed the bus if it weren't for you...

She then went to find an empty two person seat. She sat down and went on her phone, scrolling through. Texting her tinder date before hearing a "Woah!" It was the guys who helped her, he didn't have a seat and he was hanging onto the bar.

Yerin: you can come sit here if you would like, sir!

Mysterious man: Oh, thanks!

He then made his way there. But, the bus made a swift turn and he fell onto Yerin

Mysterious man: Sorry! I didn't mean to do that, you ok?

Yerin: uh... Yeah...

She turned her face to the window, blushing she used her phone to cover up her face. It didn't work well because the man noticed.

Mysterious man: Oh, you're red. Are you sure you're ok?

Yerin: Mhm…. Perfectly…. fine.

The man started texting on his phone and Yerin suddenly got a notification, texting back. There was a ping on the mans phone and then he started texting again, Yerin was confused by this. Is this quintessential? There's no way!

Yerin: What's your name...?

Mysterious man: Hajun, yours?

Yerin: My name is Yerin.

There's no way. Right? She's had so many surprises happen all in one week! This couldn't possibly happen? Right?

Yerin: do you have a dog? I see a bit of fur on you.

Hajun: Yeah, golden retriever She's 3 years old. She's pretty messy, well. You have any pets?

Yerin: No... I like dogs though, I can't have one because the apartment conditions.

Hajun: Oh, I could show you a picture of my dog if you'd like!

Yerin: Oh, sure!

Yerin thought that she could confirm that this man was her tinder date if she could just see the dog! He then shows her the picture and the dog had an exact resemblance to the one on tinder!

Yerin: Cute.

Hajun: I know, I got her from an animal shelter when nobody adopted her from her litter.

Yerin was busy thinking about how he was her tinder date, busy in thought until Hajun finally broke the silence. He said this while smiling, his smile complimented his bright eyes.

Hajun: You look really pretty. Not saying this to flirt or anything, just being genuine.

Yerin: Oh, no. I'm just average looking, if I were so pretty I would've already gotten a boyfriend by now.

She laughed it off lightly, after all. Alot of women struggle with self esteem, Yerin was one of them for sure.

Hajun: But you are pretty. I especially like your brown eyes. Though they're dark, the light from the window makes them look vibrant. I like brown eyes for that. You just have to look at them long enough to see how pretty they are…

Hajun said this scratching the back of his neck with Yerin was left awestruck at how unbelievably nice this guys is. He sounded so genuine.

Yerin: really?

Hajun nodded while smiling, he really made Yerin's day. I guess talking with strangers isn't really bad, Yerin thought.

Yerin: Well uhm, I like your eyes.

Hajun: I get that a lot, heh!

Hajun didn't seem amused but tried to cover it up.

Yerin: Yeah well… I like your personality too, you're really nice! Even to strangers you've just met, not everyone is that outgoing.

Hajun: Thanks! You're pretty talkative towards me too, even though we just met.

Hajun smiled and the bus finally came to a stop, they both got up from the bus but an old lady tapped Yerin and gave her 2 candies

Old lady: Take one for your boyfriend, dear.

Yerin blushed a bit. She turned and didn't see Hajun blush on his face but on his ears. Yerin was a sucker for guys like that!

Yerin: Thank you ma'am!

She bowed her head and gave Hajun a piece of candy. They stood there awkwardly.

Yerin: Well uh... got a girlfriend?

Hajun: Nope.

Yerin: well uh... numbers?

Hajun: I guess?

They exchanged numbers, their hands brushing against eachother as they handed their phones back to one another. Yerin looked at his diamond eyes, a glimpse of gentleness in his gaze.
