Chapter 5

Kim Young Kwang is a nice person, after their first meeting Kim So Eun naturally become closer to him. They exchange some message, naturally follow each other SNS and sometime comment on each other sosial media post. From their conversation So Eun discovered that Young Kwang has the same preference on books. Young Kwang also Enjoy romance novel. He tell So Eun about the most unforgetable story he ever read which attract her. So he recomends her to borrow his novel.

They decide to meet after So Eun last class at Hyuk Soo's library. It was almost dinner time when she finish her class and it rain hardly. Fortunately So Eun doesn't forget her umbrella. So she can walk without worrying of being wet.

On the other hand, Young Kwang just reach the library. He rides his car to go there and park it near the library. Due to the massive rain, the library is not crowded like usual. He can see Hyuk Soo who is busy with his work because his shift is not end yet. Just like always Young Kwang put his bright smile and say hi to his bestfriend which replied with Hyuk Soo's laconic responce. Just like always.

"I'm not going" Hyuk Soo thinks Young Kwang visit him again to convey him to go to the Premire which makes Young Kwang smile. He explain that he doesn't come there today to meet his cynical best friend. Hyuk Soo doesn't believe him but soon he realized that his friend isn't lying when he see a familiar girl enter the library which welcomed with Young Kwang bright smile and his cheerful "you are here"

"annyeong oppa, do I make you wait for so long?" ask So Eun putting her umbrella on the provided place. Hyuk Soo become irritated with the view infront of him. Why should these two person meeting each other again? It's been days since their last meeting and So Eun never visit the library since then. How does these people make an appoinment here. 

"we text each other, So Eun tell me that she likes romance novel so I recomends her my favorite novel, I come to give it to her" Young Kwang explains their situation. So Eun doesn't takes interest on Hyuk Soo and she doesn't care to Just say hi to him. She just too enthusiastic with the novel. She drag along Young Kwang to sit near the windows. Her Indefferent towards him upset Hyuk Soo even more. He wants to join them but he still has a pile of works he has to do. So he only can glare toward their direction.

Hyuk Soo clearly can't focus on his works, he keeps staring at the two "overjoy" people who happily whispering to each other or at least that is how his point of view is. "why are they so close? What are they talking? Why are they so happy?" is the question that keep popping in his mind. He pissed at the thought that he doesn't even has her number and the other two even text each other. He Know her earlier but why is So Eun become closer and friendly to his friend rather than himself? 

Hyuk Soo obviously can't finish his work on time. The two people that he stared the whole time suddenly get up and come closer. Hyuk Soo doesn't try at all to pretend not staring which makes So Eun makes a "what?" expression.

"you didn't have your dinner yet, are you?" ask Young Kwang when they were arrived. He offer Hyuk Soo to have dinner together.

"is she joining?" Hyuk Soo gesturing to So Eun.

"No I have something to do" So Eun answer bluntly. She really has some assigment she need to finish soon but his question somehow irritated her because she thinks Hyuk Soo wouldn't welcome her, she doesn't know that she is wrong. 

"I'm going to take her home then come to fetch you, Will be here in 30 minutes" Young Kwang doesn't wait for his respond and invite So Eun to come to his car, leave Hyuk Soo feel dumbfounded. In the end he only able to see the girl dissapear together with his friend. He doesn't like this, he doesn't like this feeling. He accidentaly looking around and finds that So Eun left her umbrella, he set his mind. 

Next Day

It is a busy day for So Eun, she has a pile of assigment to do. The hectic schedule makes her even skip a lunch. It was dark when she finally can escape from her activities. The drizzle welcome her at the gate. Her tired and hungry body doesn't want to welcome the rain. She take her bag and search for her umbrella but unfortunately she can't find it everywhere. The situation upset her. All she want to do is having a warm dinner, take a relax bath and go to sleep. But now she has to deal with the fact that her body will be drenched by the drizzle.

"You have to thanks me for today" a man with a deep husky voice suddenly stand infront of her. He smile to her which is feel unfamiliar but it makes her heart at ease. This man looks stunning as ever and morever he bring her umbrella with him. She can't feel more Joy to meet him now. She realized that she left the umbrella at the library yesterday.

"Thank youuu" she said with a very big smile. The smile on Hyuk Soo's lips become brighter. He knew he makes a good decision. "let's go" He asks the girl to follow him. She is confused, she thought he Just comes to delivering her umbrella, But is he ever become so nice to her before, maybe not. So she decide to ask a question.

"where?" she look at him puzzled. He smiles mysteriously. "you have to thanks me, remember? Do you think it is enough to express with only a Word? Let's go, I'm hungry" there is it! So he want her to buy him a dinner. How stingy. In the end she can't refuse his request because she is starving too. They take a walk to some restaurant nearby and order some food. It's kinda awkward to have a dinner together. There is an uncomfortable silent hanging in the atmosphere. At this time So Eun's phone suddenly ringing. It's Young Kwang, Soo Hyuk can read it through her phone scene which placed on the table.

"ne oppa.... No, I Just finish my class, ah... Yes I have a dinner.... Yes, thank you....alright.... Later...." So Eun hang up the phone, she knows that Hyuk Soo was staring at her the whole conversation.

"are you two dating?" ask Hyuk Soo with a sharp eyes. "emm... Noooo", So Eun carefully answer the question feeling awkward with his attitude. She doesn't understand the intention of his question nor his attitude.

"Then what is that?" ask him pusing forward. So Eun explain that Young Kwang want to ask her about her opinion of his novel that she borrowed, But he doesn't want to disturb her dinner so they may talk later. Hyuk Soo then asks if they regularly talk on the phone, asks about their conversation and etc.

"what do you think about him?" he keep interrogating even after the meal has comes.

"Well.... He is a nice person, he has a bright personality, he is a good friend for conversation But sometime he can become so talkative" Hyuk Soo nod agree with her, that is what he also feel about him.

"what about me? What do you think about me?" Hyuk Soo ask curiously, So Eun become alert. She doesn't Know how to answer that expecially when he ask it so bluntly. What kind of answer he wish to get, is it about his apperance? He is attractive, she can't deny that. But would she admit it to him? BIG NO. Is he ask about his character? He is not that nice, in fact he is annoying, a jerk! If she remember about their first meeting it is still pissed her which clearly seem on her expression. "do you really want to Know?" ask her irritated.

Hyuk Soo keep silent for a moment, observing her expression, it is like she would curse at him right now. "No" he said in the end. Not really ready to listening to her curse, after all he try to Enjoy the dinner.

"why do you keep interogating me? You looks like a jealous man. Do you like me?" So Eun laugh dryly, mocking him trying to ease the tension by saying some jokes.

"I do. I won't have a dinner with someone I hate." Hyuk Soo answer her after chewing his meal without looking at her. Em... Okay, it is reasonable. But.... Really, it makes me awkward. So Eun decide to not speak any further, so does Hyuk Soo. They finish their dinner without any other conversation.

By the time they finish the dinner, the drizzle still loyal accompanying them. She thought it would be the end for today but no, Hyuk Soo insisted to walk her home with an excuse to borrow her umbrella to go Home because he doesn't have any. So they walk silently side by side listening to the sound of the water hitting the upper part of umbrella.

"this is it" So Eun tell him that they reach her home. Hyuk Soo take a glance at her home for a while.

"Let me borrow your phone" he takes her phone that she hold all the time in her hand. She was taken aback with this sudden act and can't blocking him from stealing her Phone. He type some number and dial it, soon his phone is vibrating.

"3 days later is a weekend, it's your holiday right? I'll fetch you at 8 a.m. Don't be late" he return her phone and umbrella. It is still raining but he doesn't care being wet. "See You" is the last word he say before run away try to avoiding the Rain leave So Eun dumbfounded. Was the reason of borrowing an umbrella is only an excuse for him to takes her home? But why? So Eun keep Thinking about his behaviour even after she finish her bath and get ready to sleep. She hear her Phone is ringing, it's a message from a stranger number.

"arrive at home safely" it's the number Hyuk Soo dialed before, it's his number. Why can't he asks her number in a nice way? So Eun is wondering. Why  would he fetch her on weekend? Where will they go? Is it a date? So Eun shakes her head for this thought. She now remember Hyuk Soo's answer of her silly question. "I do, I won't have a dinner with someone I hate" She cursed her self for thinking of Hyuk Soo's answer as the signal that he might take interest of her. She put her phone on the table, resist to be interuppted by the thought of Hyuk Soo. All she want to do is sleep, and that's it.
