Chapter 8 : This Is Your Dorm?!

Seonghwa's POV

"Hold on.. .you might trip." I tied her shoelaces. "Done."

I looked at her. She was blushing. "Gaja~" She nodded.

And then I walked her home. It wasn't that far from the park.

"We reached," she said, standing in front of me. "Thanks for walking me home."

"See you later then. Good night." I gestured her to go in.

"Good night." By saying that, she went inside. I stood there and smiled to myself.

She makes me want to take care of her.

I came back to the dorm. By now Hongjoong was also home.

"Where were you?" Hongjoong asked.

"I just went to the park."

"...And what about that girl?"

"Who? Jiyeon?... Well..."

"Hyung, the storeroom door still gets locked automatically. We need to fix it," San came and said.

"I've told manager-nim about it. He'll get it fixed soon."

Jiyeon's POV

I was screaming in my pillow while recalling the moment when Seonghwa tied my shoelaces.

"Ah eottokhae?!..."

I'm going crazy!

The next day was my day off so I thought to spend the day with Wookyung. I was already out so I texted him.

Where are you?

Near the mall, wae?

I'll treat you today,I'm coming there

I reached the place and saw Wookyung standing outside. As I was going to call out his name, a girl suddenly came to him and started being clingy to him.

Is she his girlfriend? He didn't tell me anything about that.

"Wookyung-ah!" I said and stood in front of him.

"Why did you wanted to meet me?" he asked.

"Just because..."

Then my gaze landed on that girl. Not gonna lie about her being beautiful. But I've never seen her before.

Who is she?

"Who is she?" the girl suddenly asked, looking at Wookyung.

"Ah... Jiyeon, meet Kang Eunseo, my college friend."

I thought I was his only friend. When did he became friends with her?

"And Eunseo, meet my best friend Jiyeon." Wookyung introduced us to each other.

"Annyeong Eunseo," I greeted her politely.

"Annyeong. I've heard a lot about you from Wookyung," she said.

"Ah I see..."

"Let's go Wookyung." I heard someone said.

I saw two guys coming towards us and stood in front of me.

"We should go now– Wait! Who is she?" one of the guys asked when his gaze landed on me.

"She's Jiyeon, my best friend," Wookyung answered. And we greeted each other.

"Where are you all going?" I asked out of curiosity.

"Oh, we're going to have lunch together. You can also join us," Wookyung said.

"Ah..." I was thinking if I should go or not.

"Yeah, you can join us. Let's go," Eunseo said.

So at the end I agreed to come with them and now we're at a restaurant having lunch. But...

"Here you can have it too," Eunseo said and took a spoonful of her dish towards Wookyung's mouth to feed him. And in return he also gave some of his to her.

Is he really dating her?

"Do you like it?" she asked him.

"Yes, it's delicious," he answered.

Then she purposely ate the food in a way that it gets on the corner her of her lips.

"You have something on your lips." Wookyung noticed it and started to wipe it for her.

Right in front of my salad?!

I felt like I was third wheeling the whole time. The two other guys looked unbothered about it. They kept stuffing their mouths with food as if they hadn't eaten for days. I sighed.

Finally we finished our food and headed out of the restaurant. It was already evening now.

"Ah, Jiyeon..." I looked at Wookyung. "We have to go somewhere else. Sorry I can't take you home today. You can go alone right?"

How can he just leave me like this?!

"Yes, of course, I can go by myself. I'm not a kid."

"See you later then." He chuckled and ruffled my hair. Then they both waved at me and left.

I sighed. "I wanted to spend the day with him and he just... You'll regret leaving me Wookyung. I won't come to you when you need me." I huffed and stomped away from there.

On the way back to my house, it suddenly started raining.

"What?... Why now?..."

I ran to find a place to protect myself from getting drenched. Then I spotted the parking area of a building so I quickly went there.

"I'm already drenched... Aishh... Am I having a bad day today? How will I go home now?" I sighed.

I was wringing out the excess water from my dress when someone called my name. I turn back to see Seonghwa coming towards me.

What is he doing here?

"What are you doing here?" Seonghwa asked.

"I just came here to take shelter. But what are you doing here? Did you also come to take shelter?"

He chuckled. "Aniyo... This is the parking area of my dorm. We just came back from the company and I happen to see you here."

"What?! This is your DORM?!"

"Lower you voice a bit."

"Ah mianhae." I apologised quickly.

"But don't tell anyone about it."

"Don't worry. I won't."

Then there was a loud sound of thunder. My body cringed at the sound.

"It's dangerous to stay out. Let's go inside."

He grabbed my wrist and dragged me with him.
