/looks around while stretching out my arms, sighing softly
Ahhhhh, so cold today~
/hugs myself and rubs my arms, warming myself
@Kim Ahyoung Jongdae’s features lit up. He’d be lying if he said he wasn’t surprised at the girl’s offer. It was the last thing he expected, considering how timid she had been up to this point. “Hey, that’s not a bad idea! Having someone around would probably make things a whole lot easier,” he answered thoughtfully. “Do you have any experience in the kitchen?” Honestly, he didn’t know the first thing about this girl; aside from the fact that she had an aversion to strangers and a penchant for art. It was then that he realized he had forgotten to ask the most important question of all. “Wait, what am I saying?” Jongdae laughed sheepishly, his hand flying up to tweak the rim of his cap. “You don’t even know my name! Kim Jongdae, nice to meet you, but call me Chen if you’d like. It’s easy to remember. And what’s your name?”
The silence he received at first was a bit unsettling. He was well aware that the pencil meant a lot to her. In spite of her words of reassurance, Jongdae was certain that the artist wasn’t going to be very keen on continuing the conversation had he actually broken it. Once she spoke, a wave of relief washed over him. “Ahaha! I think I failed somewhere along the way if you’re more impressed by my sneeze than the trick!” Jongdae laughed widely. “But hey, if it makes for a good show, I guess it works just as well.” He mirrored her smile, glad that he was finally able to draw it out. “Not to worry, miss! There’s more where that came from!”
He reached into his shorts pocket and pulled out a deck of cards. It wasn’t unusual for him to be carrying around some sort of prop. Cards were actually pretty subtle compared to what he normally had up his sleeves, and they were a must for any party. “Here, go ahead and pick one,” he fanned the deck out with the flick of his wrist. “Then I’ll need you to write something on the front. It can be anything you like.” Jongdae held a hand over his eyes as he continued. “After that, put it back in the deck and give it a good shuffle!”
@Bae Joohyun /rubs your back when you yawn; chuckles softly
Okay, let's go back~ I'm kinda tired too!
/stretches out my arms while groaning
My room, or yours?
@Bae Joohyun /nods head at the mention of hall of fame
Yes, yes I did! And it actually shocked me!
/ends up laughing at the thought
Aigooo, I never thought I would get that award~
@Oh Hayoung /puts the dirty dishes away
/nods/ It was delicious /smiles
Oh, by the way, have you seen the hall of fame?
Mrs. Kim awarded us both the party queen /grins
@Bae Joohyun Yeahhh, now that I think of it, it's kinda embarrassing~
/goes to the spot where we put the dirty dishes
Hmmm, that was very delicious~ did you enjoy the food?
/looks at you after placing my dishes in it
@Bae Joohyun Of course! I can still remember how we used
to chase that boy in basketball team during
our middle school days~
/nudges you playfully; giggles inwardly
@Bae Joohyun /laughs along with you; standing up as well
But it's fun! You know, it's fun talking about boys
don't you think? /brings my dirty dishes with me
@Oh Hayoung /laughs
Can we stop talking about my disinterest in
boys when I was in high school? /shakes head amusedly
You have such a cheesy imagination. /laughs
/stands up, holding the finished plate
Let's put these with the dirty dishes
@Bae Joohyun /giggles at your reaction; nudges your sides
Okay, okay, I get it! You're not popular~
/gently pats your arm, smirking a bit to tease you
And there's nothing wrong with being a nerd, maybe he
liked you because he acknowledged your intelligence~
/winks playfully then squeals at the thought
But it's still romantic though~
@Oh Hayoung But I'm not even popular. /frowns a bit
Why would I be popular? All I used to do was study, Hayoung-ah. /laughs
/tilts my head
I think it would be a bit awkward, to be honest. /nods and chuckles
@Bae Joohyun /listens attentively as you speak; starting to feel cringes
Wahhhhh, that's cute! Awwww, so he was your admirer and never
your friend? Geeez, I won't even ask why you're popular~
/shakes head slightly before giggling happily
Anyway, what would you do if you see him again?
@Oh Hayoung /laughs
Um, okay.../looks up, trying to remember
It was public. /nods
I was reading peacefully while sitting on the bleachers at the school field.
Then a bunch of rowdy boys approached, and they were all
pushing the guy, towards me /laughs at the memory
He was cute, being nervous and all.
I see his face around, but I never really knew his name. /scrunches my eyebrows
I wonder why I never thought of asking it. /chuckles
@Bae Joohyun Hmm, it was, okay? I mean, I'm glad I see him again
/shrugs shoulders before showing a lopsided smirk
Booooo~ what else? Come on, elaborate! I mean,
what happened? How did he ask you out? Was it very
public and romantic?
/looks at you curiously, biting on my fork
