▽:the park

@park chorong Himchan laughed. "If you have to put it that way, sure." Himchan nodded. "That's cool." He frowned. "My family? Err... They're good, I guess. How's your family?"

@kim himchan "So you're like a rich unemployed?" She raise a brow and laughs slightly. "I do part time jobs here and there. Boutique at night. And sometimes babysitting." She nods. "How are your family?"

@park chorong "Frustrated?" Himchan laughed. "And yeah, real smart." He made a face and replied to her question. "And I don't do anything. I used to work at the club, you know, the bar. I got a lot of money there. But I quit." He shrugged. "So you just work at the cafe now?"

@kim himchan "You're making me frustrated." Chorong chuckles. Half of it was true- she still can't get over tha fact that she's not a college student. But none of it was her fault, so she drop the matter off. "Real smart, aren't you?" She responded, sarcastically before chuckling. "So, what do you do now?" She ask without looking at the guy, still mesmerized by the view in front of her eyes.

@park chorong Himchan sat down on the bench. "Well, they offered me a place, but yeah, I rejected it." He grinned. "Got a scholarship and everything since I came in... second, I think, for the entrance exams." He laughed. "You know how smart I am." He joked.

@kim himchan "Because you got the chance but you rejected it?" Chorong tilts her head. It was how he sounded to her, but she may had interpret wrongly. She looks around her surrounding. 'The park is surely nice.' It's not her first time, but she rarely find the time to come. The scenery never fails to make her heart at peace. She nodded, "Yeah, let's go." And walk to the bench.

@park chorong "Lucky?" He asked, bemused. "How'm I lucky? You just said you'd do anything to get in." He asked, amused. "You want to go sit over there?" They had entered the park, and there was a vacant bench up ahead of them.

@kim himchan She makes some little run to him. "Are you kidding me?! College, a waste of time? If I were you, I'd totally do anything to get in." She shakes her head slightly. "You're lucky." Chorong nods and walks slightly ahead.

@park chorong "Well..." Himchan hesitated, and replied. "I didn't want to go. It was a waste of time." He faked a smile, which he was surprisingly good at, and slowed down so she could catch up with him.

@kim himchan "Really?" She raise a brow and decides to drop the matter. "You didn't go to college? What happened? I thought you were smart enough to get into one." She chuckles, but she really is concern if there was anything bad happen to her friend. She keep on walking slowly, leaving herself a bit behind by Himchan.

@park chorong "I dunno, your expression looked the same as when you were little." He nodded and kept walking. "Oh, I didn't get to go to college either." He paused before replying. "I've been okay." He grinned, and walked a little faster. "There's the park over there." He said, nodding at it.

@kim himchan "What about my expression?" She made a face, confused by the guy's respond. She nods at his comment and make a mental note to view her childhood photos when she's free. "College? Nah. I didn't get the chance." She reply simply. "I've been fine. Some ups and downs but fine." She smiles. "And you?"

Himchan laughed. "Something about your expression." He replied vaguely. He pretended to study her face for a moment before replying, "Nope, you still look the same." He grinned. "Where'd you go for college?" He asked. "How've you been?"

@lee hongbin Min nodded slightly as she got put back on the ground, knowing that he would be there to hold her if she fell. They started walking even if she had a bit of trouble with it. ''I'll guide you.'' she said, laughing quietly before looking at the ground to hide her light smile. It had been a while since she felt good around a boy and right now, it was surprisingly happening. Usually, she would've ignored him and she wouldn't even had spoken to him. At this very moment, she knew that she needed some to rely on, which is why she accepted his help. She did her best to walk with only one of her feet, holding on to the boy's shirt, as it helped her not to lose balance and end up on the ground for a second time. Minutes kept passing and it seemed longer than she had thought since she was walking slower. But they finally ended up arriving at her place and she managed to pull away from Hongbin's grip, not wanting to stay glued to him forever. ''Thank you for bringing me back home.'' she said, shyly before bowing lightly. As she tried to turn around and walk up to her door, she missed a stair and was about to fall backwards.

@lee hongbin Min laughed quietly at what the boy was telling her. She wasn't a fan of reading either. She prefered dancing, always dancing. As he moved her hair, she quickly, but shyly looked up to him and stared into his eyes for a few seconds. The way he was being so careful around her almost made her feel like if she was a little doll. Her thoughts suddenly were disturbed when Hongbin decided to take her in his arms. dropped open as she felt a bit embarrassed by his move. She looked away, not wanting him to see how red she was getting. ''I- I was going to walk on my good foot..'' she answered, holding on to his neck, trying not to fall. Even though she felt more secure in his arms, it didn't feel right to make him carry her all the way to her place. Especially since she didn't live so close to the park where they were.

@lee hongbin Min was surprised to see how nice the stranger was to her. He even managed to make her blush, which rarely happened these days. She hated boys ever since that day where she got cheated on. She thought they were all the same. Good looking but deep inside, complete s. The boy standing in front of her seemed different though. She didn't really know how to explain it yet but shook off these thoughts as she put her attention back on Hongbin. ''Fine.'' she briefly responded. She knew as well as him that she wouldn't be able to walk all by herself and that it would be hard for her to go back home with her ankle hurting like that. She tilted her head lightly, still with her soft eyes looking at the male. ''Am I not causing you too much trouble?'' she asked as her cheeks turned to red automatically.

@lee hongbin Min slowly widened her eyes as she heard him speak about a creep who was now in prison. She signed in relief, thankul that he wasn't the one who found her, hurting on the ground. As the boy asked for her name, she nodded shyly and glanced back up at him. ''Y- You can call me Min.'' she answered, trying to smile as best as she could even though her ankle was all she could think about right now. Everything Hongbin said was true. About how much people had cold hearts and that no one would have helped her if he wasn't there. She knew that she must've been lucky, for once, to have someone like him take care of her. A barely noticeable smile appeared on her face at that thought before she could hear him talk about taking her back home. She blinked a few times, wondering if it would be a good thing to follow a complete stranger and let him give her a ride. ''Oh.. no, no. Don't worry for me.'' she started, biting her lower lip as she thought of how much trouble she was causing only because she hadn't been able to dance correctly earlier. ''It'll be just fine soon.'' she added, pointing towards her ankle as she tried to smile to make him think that she was telling the truth.

@lee hongbin As soon as she heard someone asking her if she was alright, she lifted her head and saw a boy who immediately helped her get up. She was brought to the nearest bench and lowered her head as she sat on it, trying to hide how shy she was feeling. Why did he help her? She didn't really know but since she was hurting, she couldn't really push him away. When she felt the bag of ice cream against her bruised ankle, she winced and closed her eyes once again. ''I- I don't know.'' she answered, quietly. ''I've never messed up this dance.'' she sighed. Inside of her head, she really thought that she looked stupid for falling in front of a lot of people. Why was she even dancing in a park, where anything could happen? She shook her head at that thought, wondering why she only had bad luck. She had never been very lucky in her life and it definitely showed. After a few seconds of not saying anything else, she finally looked up at the man who was helping her. ''Thank you.'' she said, barely loud enough.

@lee hongbin Dancing. It was her only way out from misery. When she moved to the sound of different melodies, she was able to forget about her past, about her problems, but most of all, she was able to forget about her broken heart. With earplugs in her ears, she closed her eyes and danced. It didn't matter if people were watching her from afar, she simply needed to let all of her energy out. She moved as the wind brushed her hair, as the leaves flew around her. She took deep breaths, forgetting everything with every seconds that passed. After a few seconds of dancing all by herself, she made a wrong move and twisted her ankle, making her fall to the ground. A cry came out of as her body landed on the asphalt. She lowered her head and kept her eyelids closed as she bit her lower lip, trying to forget the pain she was feeling.
