25 I’m Late [1]

While Reen run towards their meeting place, she could not help but sing to herself to calm her nerves and psych herself up.

♪ I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!

What do I do?

I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!

What should I do?

I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!

I hurriedly ran to the gate

I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!

This is just great!♪

Sae who was waiting for Reen had arrived 30 minutes earlier. Since he did promise he'll meet up with her he didn't have any choice but to do so. On the other hand, Reen continued too ran and sing to herself.

♪ I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!

The teachers' going to scold me

I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!

Everyone's going to stare at me♪

While waiting Sae could not help but think about the news that he saw. Sae knew that Reen and that famous star couldn't possibly be an item but he could not help but feel suspicious about it.

"If she really didn't date that b*stard, why did it seem otherwise? Their interactions on the clip were so natural as if they really were on a date or why didn't that b*stard even denied the truth when the news came out? Maybe... just maybe... They were actually filming a new music video…? But she did mention previously that she had no upcoming jobs for the next few weeks so it's impossible…. Then… is she really dating that person?" these thoughts was swirling in his mind, he couldn't think straight.

♪ I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!

Oh my gosh!

This is so embarrassing

I'm late! ♪

When there was only less than a minute until their meet up time Reen had finally arrived.

"Thank goodness Sae, I thought you've already left. I wanted to tell you that the clip and everything you heard about it was-" before she could finish what she was saying, she was stopped by the seen before her. Sae had brought a girl with her. She held the gift she bought a while back tightly on her hand.

Reen squared her shoulders and took a deep breath as if her life depended on it and asked in a shaking voice

"Who-? She-?" she stammered as she looked to the beautiful girl beside him then at Sae.

"This is my girlfriend. I wanted to introduce her to you as you're the only one who didn't meet her personally out of us 4."

"Now let's see how you'll react." Sae actually thought of the classic pretend-girlfriend-to-get-your-girl-to-be-jealous idea.

"If you get jealous it means you really do like me if not then…" He thought with anticipation and disappointment

Sadly, doing this only led to a miserable end.

"He-heh, That was actually the case... I didn't know." Reen replied in a whisper.

An awkward silence engulfed them

Reen mustered her courage yet again

"Uhm... Sae, can I talk to you for a minute please...?" She asked hesitantly

Sae looked at her and back at the Meera who was clinging to his arm. Meera glared at Reen. Seeing this, Reen could not help but roll her eyes and feel irritated.
