AREUM'S POV
Yoo Song- That was faster than I calculated. How did you guys manage to rent that place.
Areum- Should I be honest?
Mr. Kang nodded and continued.
Areum- Actually the owner of the store is an old lady. Once I helped her when my classmate was bullying her, and then she offered me to use her store.
Yoo Song- That was unexpected.
I smiled and nodded.
Yoo Song- You know you are around my son's age.
Areum- Your son is lucky.
Yoo Song- why?
I gave him a sad smile.
Areum- I am just your business partner yet you treat me so well. And I heard that Kangs always prioritize family over everything. So yeah.
Yoo Song- Family gives you power.
Areum- they also make you doubt yourself.
He looked at me for a while and then gave me a soft smile. I wish my father was like him.
Yoo Song- You saw the man earlier. He is the son of LA JEWEL'S CEO. He came to invite me and my family over their daughter's birthday party.
Areum- Laira Kim, right?
Yoo Song- How do you know?
Areum- She is my classmate.
mr.kang's eyes widen a bit. I stood up and bowed.
Areum-I'll take my leave then. I think I'll be able to report the opening day in 7 days.
He nodded and I left the room. When I went out of the room I let out a sigh and took out my phone.
''no message, no calls., did I really expect that he will call me?''
I let out a sad chuckle.
'' you must be happy that I am not around you. I told you I'll be there for you in 3 seasons. Winter is gone, I think my time will be there soon.''
I walked out the building and took a bus to the store. Then suddenly my phone ringed, I answered without even seeing it as I thought it was Yoo Han.
Areum- Hello, I have got the pay, i have already transferred the money in the account. You can let Jaehum do the rest work. And ask Mr.Lee Dal to send organic unsalted fresh butter, i have to remake the cookie. And yeah give Crystal 260 dollars to pay our bills.
Ye Joon- What the hell are you even talking about?
I looked at the phone shocked.
Areum- am I dreaming? how come you called me? are you okay? do you need any help with your upcoming audition?
Ye Joon- Can you listen to me?
Areum-ok ok.go ahead.
Ye Joon- I wrote a song today.
Areum- FOR ME?
Ye Joon- No, why will I? I wrote this for Laira, tell me if that is cool or not.
My smiled falled down.
Areum- Are you dumb?
Ye Joon- Why?
Areum- WHY ARE YOU SO CRAZY ABOUT THAT BITCH? SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO RESPECT SOMEONE.
Ye Joon- You don't know her. So, shut up.
Areum- Listen boy, I am warning you again. Stay away from her. She is just using you.
Ye Joon- SHE IS NOT USING ME.
Areum- SHE IS USING YOU.
Ye Joon scoffed.
Ye Joon- Are you jealous that finally the girl I like also likes me?
Areum- Jealous? Yeah, i am jealous. I am jealous that despite telling you all the time you fucking give that bitch all your attention.
Ye Joon- i never asked you to love.
Areum- I can do whatever i want. That girl is surely using you but you can't see. But trust me, you will regret that you didn't listen my word and I swear, if she hurts you. I will destroy her.
YE JOON'S POV
My heart started beating so fast that I can't even explain. How to explain this feeling? We fought for the first time. well we fight everyday but this time is different. And when she said the last sentence, i could feel that. I always feel that but... I don't love her. I don't... she is just someone i feel comfortable to be around.
Areum- You know what? Just do whatever you want. I am too busy to even spare glance on you. And about Laira, she was a bitch, she is a bitch and she will be a bitch.
Ye Joon- I am sorry.
Areum- Huh?
Ye Joon- I shouldn't have shout on you.
Areum- You did.
Ye Joon- that;s why I'm saying sorry.
I heard a soft chuckle from her side
Areum- I just can get enough of you. How comes you are so good Ye joon?
I suddenly felt my cheeks were burning. Gosh, this girl is crazy.
Ye Joon- D-don't f-flirt with m-me.
What the actual hell is this?
Areum-oooooooo, you are blushing.
Ye Joon- How do you know/
I looked around the study cafe to see if she was there. But in return, I hear a chuckle.
Areum- STop looking around, I am not there.
Ye Joon- How do you know i am looking around?
Areum- You must be in the study cafe.
Ye Joon- YAHH, are you stalking me?
Areum- stupid boy, anyway I have a good news. I got investment for my restaurant.
Ye Joon- WHAT? are YOU SERIOUS?
Areum- Yup. My first pay is in my hand. Mark my word, in 7 years , My Comapny will be at the top of the food business.
I still couldn't believe that she made it. I used to think she just speak and now i ave to say. this girl is something.
Areum- iF I can do you it, then you can also do it. You will be the brightest star among all-stars.
Ye Joon- Don't be so confident.
Areum- Only 13 days are left. okk
i could say she was smiling. I don't know how long I can strive in this battle but seeing her trust and hope in me, in my heart, I want to strive till the end.
Areum- What happened?
Ye Joon- Thank you for showing your trust in me. Maybe someday while holding Grammy, I'll tell the world about you.
There was a silence between us for a good moment. I don't know what happened to me.
Areum- I'll wait for you till the day. Maybe someday, maybe you can see my heart and give me your heart.
Can I?
