That Warm Feeling

Throughout the whole ride into the city, Noeul kept humming to every song that came out on the radio. Even if she didn't like the song, she still hummed. She would joke around with Hyungsik for this morning and look out the window with a smile on her face. She just contain her excitement today.

She hadn't seen Mrs. Han for a while and she wanted to spend every second before she went back home. Usually, when she went to visit, her father would stay and the three of them would go to the store enjoying the time together or they would end up taking her out to eat. That way she didn't have to cook at night.

Once they were in the city, Noeul asked Hyungsik to stop at one of the closets cake shops so she could get a cake. When she saw a familiar one, Hyungsik pulled over and stopped the car. Within a second Noeul rushed out without even waiting for him.

He only smiled at her reaction and followed after her.

She is really excited today.

He entered the store and took in the wonderful scent of fresh cakes being baked along with fresh cookies and other sweet aroma flying around. He smiled as he found Noeul with her index finger on the tip of her chin as she looked at the cakes.

"Don't tell me it's hard to pick a cake?" he bumped his hips into hers.

She let out a laugh. "Not really, she isn't suppose to have a lot of sweets so I wanted to get her a small cake."

He nodded and turned his head to some girl customers who were looking at him and giggling. He rubbed his nape and then placed his arm around Noeul's shoulders. She looked at him for a moment and then heard some girls making some noises.

She understood now and smiled. "Sweetie, which cake look good for you? I know our anniversary is coming up."

Hyungsik froze in his place at the sudden remark she made. His heart that was beating steadily, started picking up his pace and his throat went dry. "So-something chocolate would be nice."

Noeul pointed to a three mini chocolate cake with three raspberries on top. "How about this one?"

Of course since it has raspberries.

"You and your raspberries." he chuckled as he asked the worker to wrap all three of them up.

"Don't be hating on my favorite fruit." she nudged him in the stomach with her elbow.

He let out a small groan and only smiled. He went over to the cashier to moved Noeul out of the way. "I'll pay for it since I won't be able to stay and meet her."

Noeul moved him back. "No I'll pay."

"Yah Kang Noeul." he suddenly used her full name.

She raised her eyebrows and bit her bottom lip. She then put her wallet away and wrapped her arms around his waist and smiled. "Thanks Sweetie you're the best!"

Hyungsik suddenly felt his cheeks burning. Usually when they pretended to be a couple in front of others, it was for Hyungsik when girls were looking at him. Noeul agreed in helping him and did her part pretty well.

"You're girlfriend is cute." the male worker said to Hyungsik and Noeul.

Hearing those words, Hyungsik couldn't help but feel annoyed. He wrapped his arm around her again and held her tightly. "Yeah, I'm lucky to have her."

The older worker smiled and took the money from Hyungsik as he passed the boxes to Noeul.

She squealed out of happiness and pulled Hyungsik out of the store when he got his change back. "Hurry up or else we will be late."

Hyungsik stumbled out of the store but couldn't help but smile. "You're getting better at pretending to be my girlfriend."

Why do those words make me feel sick?

Noeul laughed as she got in the car. "I've been watching too many dramas."

"That explains a lot." he chuckled as he drove off to her old home.

When they arrived, Noeul took her time getting out of the car. She felt anxious and kept telling herself everything is going to be fine. She had been her a while back but why did today feel different for her. She stumbled a bit when she took a step but then moved back.

Why am I so nervous this time?

Hyungsik noticed her nervous and got off the car. They had playfully argued about her exposed shoulder. He tried covering it up and then he gave her his blue and white plaid shirt that he had on. Now he was only in a plain gray shirt. She took it and placed in her bag but she never left the car's side.

"What's wrong?" he asked as he came to her side and rubbed her back to sooth her.

She looked down at her shoes and then ground. "It feels different this time."

"Different how?" he asked as he kept looking at her and moved a strand of hair behind her ear. "Tell me Glow."

Glow?

Her heart suddenly skipped a beat. He never really called her 'Glow' unless he was being serious. It was a nickname he gave her when they started to be more open with each other. Her name did mean 'Sunset Glow'; and he mentioned to her that when she is showing a pure smile, she is glowing.

Noeul put the things in her hand down and wrapped her arms around his waist. She buried her head into his chest, since he is six foot one after all. She felt some tears forming in her eyes and she wanted them to stop.

Hyungsik didn't hesitate to wrap his arms around her. He held her tightly making her feel that he was there with her. "It's going to be fine."

"I can't stop thinking about wanting to go to my old home and just hope to see her there waiting for me." she spoke as she turned her head to the side. When she did, his face was only a few inches away from hers'. She look at him carefully and noticed his chocolate brown eyes looking back at her.

Her cheeks started to burn at the closeness they were having but in some way she didn't care if it was showing or not. Her heart rate started to pump faster as her mind was become blank. She couldn't help but to look at him carefully from how she usually does.

Today his hair was less scruffy than normal, it was straight and she could finally see his eyebrows. She then moved her eyes to his nose that was made perfect for him and then his lips. She gulped making herself more nervous than she was before.

She noticed his Adam's Apple bob up and down getting her attention to look at into his eyes. "Am I good looking today?"

Noeul rolled her eyes as he let out a laugh. She tried pushing him away trying to get out of his grip; instead he just kept holding onto her not letting her leave. She suddenly felt a weight on her head. She stared looking at his chest when she knew his head was on top of hers'.

"It's ok to think of the past from time to time Noeul." he started to say in a calm voice with his  eyes shut. "But not everything can go back to how it was before. Everything happens for a reason."

He picked up his head and moved one of his arms that was around her waist and used his finger to pick up her head to look at him.

"It's ok to be nervous right now but it will go away the moment you see the person you came to see and spend time with." A smile was placed on his face as he looked into her soft brown eyes.

Man, she is so pretty.

His heart started pumping fast again like before as he kept looking at her. He hugged her one more time and removed his arms from her. "I need to get going."

Noeul nodded as she picked up the bags from the ground. "Call me when you're coming back."

He nodded and got inside the car. As he drove off he looked back staring at Noeul's figure. He felt a certain pain in his chest that bothered him, he wasn't sure why? His felt as if he is breaking in two. He wanted to reverse the car and go back to her. But he also wanted to see his girlfriend one last time as well.

Why...

He stopped the car due to the stop sign and saw her walking to the complex building. He grabbed his phone and checked the time. His eyes widen and rushed to the airport to see Jooyeon off.

About ten minutes had passed before Noeul pressed the button to Mrs. Hans' door. She was starting to shake due to being nervous but what calmed her down was thinking of Hyungsik doing funny faces or his dancing to girl groups. She waited for another moment and the door suddenly opened and their stood the sweet old woman she knew almost her whole life.

"Noeul?" the elderly woman spoke. A smile started to form on her face as she stared at the girl. "Oh it is you! My baby Noeul!"

She wrapped her arms around the younger girl's body and Noeul couldn't help but let out a few tears. If she could remember correctly it had been about six or seven months since she last saw the sweet old woman.

"How are you dear?" she looked at her and smiled whipping the tear
