She looked around to find a clean space where he could sit and her beautiful eyes twinkled as she spotted an empty wooden beer crate. She gently touched his arm to get his attention then pointed at the box.
Lee Changhyuk opened his eyes and immediately understood what she wanted him to do. He obediently went to the beer crate and sat on it.
She quietly placed herself in front of him and ran her fingers through his hair. His skin turned hot from her gentle touch, as butterflies teased every drop of his blood. The milk girl was carefully preparing his hair before drying them, her serious face looked too adorable in his eyes that blood slowly rushed to his cheeks, threatened to reveal his unspeakable feelings to her. So he lowered his chin to avoid her crystal clear eyes. Ah, this one sided love..
After tidying his hair she took out the handkerchief from her bag and his eyes flickered. That handkerchief was the first birthday gift he received from GreenEast.
A designer custom made handkerchief. It didn't sound too impressive with his current wealth and status, but that time they haven't even debuted nor made any money. His hyungs wanted to congratulate him for completing the training, therefore they all saved money to give him the best present they could afford.
'This is only the beginning Changhyuk. Let's work hard until we get tired of these things.' He still remembered how wide Son Kangyu's grin was when he saw Lee Changyuk's teary eyes.
It did come true. Their hard work paid off and they became the King of Entertainment Industry.
They did get tired of the flashy life where they had to appear perfect at all times. Since they could afford anything, material things became less exciting.
Lee Changhyuk was the same, he wasn't attached to anything- the handkerchief was the only thing that he carried anywhere. It was also a surprise to him, how easy it was to put the handkerchief on top of her head.
She looked very uncomfortable in his eyes- drenched with milk thanks to an evil cat. At that moment he really did not want to see her cry. If he had to lose a handkerchief to make her day a little better then so be it. His hyungs would understand. No, they must understand.
He looked up to study the milk girl's expression. She didn't seem to notice that he was the real owner of the handkerchief.
"Nice handkerchief." He lightly commented as he let the milk girl pat his hair with the clothe.
The milk girl blinked once and replied with a radiating beam. "Do you like it? It is my lucky charm."
Lee Changhyuk did not answer immediately. If the milk girl saw his tattoo would she recognize him? The tattoo on his ribcage was a calligraphy of his initials.
L.C.H.
Only some loyal fans knew about the tattoo. It was always covered whenever he took a shirtless photo or videos.
The Star was indeed not a drinker but in some rare occasions where he did drink or had to drink- he could go really hard. Like that time when he got this tattoo.
He got it as a joke when he was drunk in a wild party with Kang Yeon and Son Kangyu: If one day I died in a deserted island they should be able to identify me from my tattoo!
"Yeah, I like it." He finally met her gaze with a playful smile, his tone was as nonchalant as always and the smile on her beautiful face grew even brighter.
After she was done drying his hair, the milk girl put the handkerchief back in her bag. She playfuly leaned against the wall and watched the rainfall. They missed the annual ritual but it didn't feel bad. She turned her head to glance the handsome Star.
He was still sitting on the beer crate and watched the sky. Just like her, he didn't seem bored or disappointed causing her to wonder if he knew they just missed a famous ceremony.
"We missed the annual ritual."
"Why? You think Hitomi Nakamura is performing there?"
A lazer beam was shooting out of her eyes as she glared at Lee Changhyuk. She just wanted to be informative but this evil magnae brat... Could he not remind her of that time where she tried to hide her love for GreenEast!? He even caught her red handed with all of GreenEast posters and albums in her room, can he just not???
No no no... Think positive. He might be the evil magnae but he might really not know about the tradition here.
Of course Lee Changhyuk knew Hitomi Nakamura wouldn't perform there- he just wanted to tease her.
"They said any wishes will come true if you pray with the priest in that shrine during the moonlight at this time of the year." She said.
Just like a bulb popped in his head, blessing him with the greatest idea- those clear eyes twinkled upon hearing her, it was almost blinding.
Shizu swallowed a dry air, what in the world did this devil just come up with? It wouldn't surprise her if he was to drag her to where Andy and the others were, but instead..
